Hello list, I'd sent this to the Cumberland list, but since they later ended up in Wake County I thought I'd send it along to this list as well. These County lines are often confusing. Jesse Jones was originally of Johnston County. Any assistance with this HOCKADAY and JONES questions would be greatly appreciated ! I'm searching for my HOCKADAY and JONES ancestors. Alvin JONES married Elizabeth HOCKADAY in Cumberland County about 1812. They had a daughter, Delphia JONES b. 5 May 1813 in Cumberland, NC, died 23 Apr 1850 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Delphia JONES married 9 Apr 1830 William STEWART/STUART, b. 24 Oct 1800, Fayetteville, Cumberland Co. North Carolina, William died 13 Oct 1891 in Moab,Grand Co., Utah. William and Delphia had a daughter, China Anne STEWART, b. 3 Oct 1845 in Alfoma, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. William STEWART was the son of eorge STEWART and Rebecca UTLEY I know my STEWART line from William back. I'm rsearching Elizabeth HOCKADAY, who were her parents ?, I have only one child for Alvin and Elizabeth, Delphia. Elizabeth may be the same Elizabeth who later married Wyatt CANNADY after the death of Alvin JONES after 1820, Wyatt and Elizabeth' children were all born after 1824 Elizabeth may be the daughter of William HOCKADAY and Ann POWELL I believe Alvin JONES was the son of Jesse JONES and Winifred SPEIGHT of Johnston Co, NC. They too had a daughter, Delphia, sister of Alvin ?. I believe Alvin and Elizabeth named their daughter Delphia after her ? I found Alvin JONES in the Cumberland Co. Census of 1820 as well as my STEWART/STUART families Jesse JONES was the brother of Capt. Etheldred JONES Thanks for any assistance Marty Graybill ================================================= http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/g/r/a/Marty-Graybill/index.html ================================================= If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. -- Rene Descartes =================================================
