I am not researching this line, but have answered questions on it before. Your Samuel Jones died 22 Mar 1870, 'born August 18, age about 77 years and 7 months' according to the Lower Path Valley Presbyterian Church records. His wife Mary born 1791, died 6 Apr 1880, age 89 years. Neither are on the 1851 list of communicants so they must have joined the church after that date. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike & Tammy <mikej1957@mindspring.com> To: <PAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 03, 2001 10:43 AM Subject: [PAFRANKL] Franklin Co.
