(there are many other Jane Jones, but I've looked for those with some sort of a John Jones or a Williams tie.) from your last email "I 'googled' Daniel Williams and found the info that his grandmother was named Jane JONES. Jane Jones m. John Williams in 1717 and they appear to have lived in Goshen, Chester Co., PA. " Because of the Goshen tie, I looked at the births, deaths and marriaged of the Goshen meeting, and while there are many Jones and many Williams, there is no Daniel William and no John Jones/John/Johns.... from your last email; "Fortunately, Wrightsborough , GA, has a nice genealogy page, and they list Daniel Williams, b. 17 July 1747, Chester, PA; m. 11 June 1772, Lancaster, PA; died Wrightsborough, GA 7 Feb. 1802. " Does this info come with any sort of documentation? Do you have ANY idea where it came from? One thing I note is the dates, as they are given. These would never have been used by Quakers, who always date things such as 1st mo 2nd, 1777, for example......if interested, read up a bit on Quaker dating, for the 1st mo is not January and it'd be easier for you to just read about it, if you want, that for me to try to explain it. I, personally, leave them as I find them and don't try to 'change' them into 'normal' dates...too much room for mistakes on my part! Again, if you do some research and see what meetings were in the area where they lived, I'll be glad to see if I can find them in NC meetings.....with a common name like John A Jones you need all the help you can get, in the way of EXACT locations and aprox. dates.
