Dear Cousin Sadie, Since both Milton B. & Milton C. Jones are your ancestors, you must be a descendant of one of Will Hodge & Lucy Jones' children. My own line comes through Malinda Sasser's son Thomas Jefferson Jones who was raised along with her children by Milton B., but who was born to her through a relationship she had with another Jones man before she married. I have done extensive research into the Jones & Sasser families & am happy to share what I know. About Will Hodge's ancestry. His father Milton C. (also called Hodge) was the son of Moses Jones ( b ca1789, NC;d before 1860, Clay Co, KY) and Kesiah Smith (b ca1794, SC; d after 1870, Clay County, KY). They were married in Clay County in 1810 (I have the exact date if you don't have it). Moses Jones was the son of William Jones (b ca1765, NC; d 1821, Clay County, KY). The name of William's wife is unknown, although she came with him to Kentucky around 1801. Moses was a brother to John Jones who was Milton B's father. About the same time Moses married Kizzie, John married her sister Unice, so the 2 Miltons were not only 1st cousins, but double 1st cousins, which made Will Hodge & Lucy Jones double 2nd cousins. John & Moses had several siblings. William Jones married a 2nd time after his 1st wife died and had 3 children from that marriage. After he died, his heirs sold the land grant he received when he first came to KY, so all their names are a matter of public record. I can't remember exactly how many children there were, but about 12-13 from both families. I have them, if you want them. William Jones' father was Vinson/Vincent Jones (b ca1747;d 1817, VA). Vinson is well documented as a Revolutionary War solider who fought in the Battle of King's Mountain, among others. His wife was Elizabeth Cope. Kesiah & Unice Smith's parents were Thomas & Unice Smith (don't know Unice's maiden name). (Incidently, Kizzie & Unice's brother married Moses & John's sister). Thomas was born ca1765 in NC & died ca1821 in Clay County, KY. The Thomas Smith family came to KY with the William Jones family, so they probably were related to each other. I don't have much data at hand about Thankful Delaney aka Loamie Phipps except that she was born in TN, because she is not in my direct line of interest, but I can access it if needed. About Will Hodge & Lucinda. She was born February 25, 1847, the 4th of Milton B. & Malinda's children. She died between 1890 & 1897, and is buried in the Beech Creek cemetery about 3 1/2 miles from Manchester, KY. I have not heard that her middle name was Sasser. I would be interested to know about that. Will & Lucy had 12 children. I have all their names, birth dates, spouses, etc. I will give them to you, if you do not already have them. After Lucinda died, Will Hodge married twice more. His 2nd marriage to Parlee Gregory produced 2 sons Moses & Marion. After she died, he married Narcissus Greenaway Turner who was previously married to, and then divorced from Pleasant Turner, and they had a son A. B. Sis also had several children from her 1st marriage. Something interesting about Will & Sis' family is that several of their children from their previous marriages married each other (I think their were 5 pairs...4 Jones boys married 4 Turner girls, and 1 Turner boy married 1 Jones girl). The granddaughter of one of the pairs, John Jones & Sophia Turner, is one of my best friends. Well, that should be enough to get us started. I would be interested to know how you are connected to the family, & I will be glad to share my line the next time again. Vietta Jones Keith
