I am a descendant of Nathaniel Thomas through Francis Marion, David Stephen, John William, William Annas, James William. I am planning to be in the Newberry area around the 9th or 19th of May. A cousin and I are planning to travel from Texas to see the area our family came from. I would love any suggestions as to things we might wasn’t to see and also where we might want to research. I know that not much is known about this line before Nathaniel. I also know that there is some indication of a connection to the Quakers in the area. I would appreciate any help on how to proceed in possibly tracing this connection. Does anyone have any new information on the Thomas lines in South Carolina from before 1751 to about 1834. Any help will be much appreciated. Diane Thomas Farabee

The cited estate partition references are those for Timothy P. Fincher, b. 17 Feb 1776, d. 1816 in Union Co SC. He was the son of Aaron and Mary Parker Fincher. He was named as a son in the Union Co will of his father Aaron (signed 6 Feb 1795, proven 6 Apr 1795) and as an heir in the Union Co wills of his brother Aaron Fincher (signed 23 May 1802, recorded 9 Oct 1802) and his sister Hannah Fincher (signed 3 Nov 1807, recorded 17 Nov 1807). The elder Aaron Fincher's father Francis lived adjacent to John Clark on the Tyger River; it was probably a younger Francis Fincher who witnessed the 1797 will of Henry Clark. Timothy P. Fincher did not leave a will, although wills apparently ran in the family. He was survived by wife Hannah Cooper Fincher (b. 1780) and the 3 children named in the writ of partition: Mary Fincher, wife of John H. Smith, Aaron Fincher (b. 1800-10), and Timothy W.T. (or T.W.) Fincher. Daughter Mary was listed in the 1800 Union Co household of Timothy Fincher, and the two boys (both under age 10) were added to the Timothy Fincher household at the 1810 census. The family was not enumerated in 1820; Hannah Fincher was a widow living alone in 1830, near the Union Co household of her son Aaron Fincher. In 1850, Hannah (Cooper) Fincher lived in the household of her son Aaron in Pendleton/Pickens Co SC. The household was enumerated twice, with somewhat different ages on the two entries, but all the same names. This was the only Timothy born to the large Fincher family between their arrival in SC in 1765 and the end of the 18th century. If this was the Fincher that Rachel Clark married in 1799, she could not have survived for very long. Timothy Fincher's widow Hannah Cooper was certainly the mother of his second child Aaron (birth-year reported twice as 1800, once as 1810), because she lived in his household. A Fincher wife named Rachel does not appear in the early Union Co SC deed books.

Lyda, Our Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society library has the New York volume of Hinshat, Vol. 3 I looked at it today for the Flushing MM. It and one called Newtown and another known as New York were closely associated. TheFlushing meeting met at John Bowne's house until 1684. It had formed as early ase 1657. By 1716 it had become too large for its meeting house. There was mention again of long periods of neglect in keeping records. The Embree names I found were George who died in 1799 and Abigail Bowne Embree who died 2-12-1806. Their children were Samuel and Sarah. The WPGS library also has "Berks County Church Records of the 18th Century" compiled by E. Edward Wright. It is a Family line Publication. In the Exeter Meeting minutes I found Samuel, s/o Moses of Robertson Twp. married Rachel Lewis, d/o James Lewis of Cumry Twp. 26 2nd mo 1743. James Embree s/o Samuel of Cumry Twp. married Phebe Star d/o Merrick Starr of Maiden Creek Twp. 15 5th mo 1771 Moses Embree s/o Samuel and Rachel married Mary Richard d/o Richard and mary Richaradson 7th mo 1773. There was also a Pottstown Meeting, but no Embrees there. In the Exeter Meeting under Certificates of Removal, I found: Moses Embree Moses Embree to Fredricksburg at Bush RIver 23 3rd Mo 1770. He was to return home. In the men's minutes, there was an entry for Moses, s/o Samuel Embree to Cane Creek 30 8 mo 1769 There was nothing that would clear up a relationship between Moses I, II, or maybe III. I found a small portion of Exeter Meeting minutes on line by Googling Exeter MM. THe holdings at Swarthmore are probably most complete, and they do not seem to be available on line. I don't know whether a search for wills or land holdings in Flushing NY or Berks County PA would be productive. Hope this helps a little.

You continue to come up with such informative information. I wish you could help me find a will or something from John Townsend or Elizabeth Pearson Townsend (she pre deceased him) Also, I would love to know more about the Pearson cemetery in that same region. Would there be a list of members buried there?? No mention of where John was buried, he had married again before he died. I was thrilled to see Townsends on the list from Pagett Creek. You had sent me long ago the platt of land of John Townsend which included Pagett creek on his plat. I can't thank you enough. -----Original Message----- From: Harriet Imrey <hhimrey@gmail.com> To: sc-bushriverquakers <sc-bushriverquakers@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sat, Mar 24, 2012 1:50 pm Subject: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] John Jones, d. 1781 in Wrightsborough, Part 2 Children of John and Mary (Gregory?)

He was born no earlier than 739, because not listed as taxable in 1755 in Orange Co NC with his ather.

A Richard Jones eceived a grant of 150 acres at Wrightsborough GA on 7 Feb 1769 (the irst group of grants), although no Richard Jones was mentioned in MM ecords there at any time. 2.

Joseph Brown, son of Thomas and Ruth Large rown from Bucks Co PA via Hopewell MM (Frederick Co VA), married Ann organ on 27 Oct 1763 at Cane Creek MM, and they returned to his meeting t New Garden MM. The New Garden birth records identify Ann Brown as former wife of Henry Morgan", and include the first four daughters of oseph and Ann Jones Morgan Brown (Mary, Ruth, Elizabeth and hilepena). Joseph and Ann Brown moved back and forth across several ifferent meetings. They received a certificate from New Garden MM to redericksburg MM (Camden SC) on 29 Jul 1769, with a note that the eeting was held at Bush River. They returned to New Garden MM on 29 un 1771 with a certificate issued by Bush River MM on 30 Mar 1771. hey were granted another certificate from New Garden MM to Bush River M on 26 Jun 1773. They had also visited Bush River in the interim, ecause Joseph Brown witnessed the sale of father-in-law John Jones's and on 7 & 8 Jan 1772. Additional certificates from New Garden MM for he Brown family were dated 30 Aug 1777 (no MM named) for Joseph, wife nn, stepdaughter Catherine Morgan, daughters Mary, Ruth and Phillipina, nd one on 28 Dec 1782 to Deep River MM (Guilford Co NC), received there n 3 Feb 1783.

He named his 6 daughters as Polly Worley, arah Mitchell, Elisabeth Handlin, Philapena Dickerson, Anne Potter, and uth Mendenhall. He was not a practicing Quaker at the time of his eath, because his will disposed of 3 slaves. 3. Phillipina Christina Jones was born May 1746 in Lancaster (later erks) Co PA, baptized 31 Aug 1746 at Atolhoe Lutheran congregation Altalaha church, Rehrersburg, Berks Co PA) by the Rev. John Casper toever. On 28 Apr 1762, she married John Stanfield at Cane Creek MM. ohn was born 1 Aug 1743 at New Garden MM (Chester Co PA) to John and annah Hadley Stanfield.

By 806, the Stanfields lived on Otter Creek in Cumberland Co KY. John tanfield signed his Cumberland Co KY will on 17 Aug 1815, proven 17 Apr 816. He was survived by wife Phillipina, one of his 3 sons, and all 5 aughters. 4. Margaret Jones was born ~1748-50 in PA. On 6 Sep 1766, Margaret Day as reported to Cane Creek MM (Orange Co NC) for marrying out of unity. er husband, Stephen Day, was a son of Quakers John and Ann Hussey Day, f New Castle MM (DE) and Warrington MM (Chester Co PA). Stephen Day as not mentioned as a Quaker in NC or in GA. The Cane Creek records do ot include a note that Margaret Jones Day condemned her marriage out of nity, but she must have done so. Margaret Day was granted a ertificate to Fredericksburg MM (SC) on 3 Dec 1768. Stephen Day was ne of the initial grantees of Wrightsborough Township (200 acres on 7 eb 1769). Margaret Day and her son John (b. 13 Dec 1768) were included s initial members of Wrightsborough MM on 4 Oct 1774. Stephen Day's aternal aunt, Theodate Hussey Hodgin, was also an initial member with er husband Robert Hudgin. Stephen Day and his younger children were ot associated with the MM. He would have been disowned on the grounds f his militia enlistment in any event.

James Jones was born in the early 1750's in PA or NC. He was not entally competent to care for himself, but appeared to have at least ome independence of movement. He may or may not have joined his arents when they moved to SC in 1769. He was apparently resident with is sister Ann Jones Brown at New Garden MM (Rowan Co NC) on 26 Sep 772, when he requested a certificate from New Garden to Bush River MM. e was identified in the New Garden minutes as "brother-in-law of Joseph rown", rather than as "son of John Jones". He was received at Bush iver MM on 30 Jan 1773, at roughly the time when John and Mary Jones elocated to Wrightsborough MM. At any rate, James spent at least some ime with his parents in the Newberry Co SC region, because he had emories of the location when he returned from GA for a brief visit in 819. The location of his younger brothers Jonathan and Nathan, who ere appointed to care for him, is unknown as of 1819. 6. John Jones was born in the mid-1750's in Orange Co NC. Several ifferent men named John Jones appear in the MM records of Cane Creek NC) and Wrightsborough (GA), and the modifier "Jr." is not sufficient o narrow down identities. John Jones Jr. witnessed a land sale by his ather John on 8 & 9 Mar 1771 at Bush River, so he had left NC by that ime and also joined his parents at Wrightsborough MM later. The MM eferences to a (younger) John Jones include these: New Garden MM: 29 Jun 1771, John Jones rocf Bush River MM, SC, dated 30 ay 1771 [same dates as certificate for Joseph and Ann Jones Brown from ush River to New Garden] rightsborough MM: 1 Jul 1775, John Jones Jr. con his mou ane Creek MM: 2 Jan 1779, John Jones rpd mou ane Creek MM: 6 Feb 1779, John Jones gct Wrightsborough MM GA rightsborough MM: 5 Feb 1780, John Jones rocf Cane Creek MM, NC, dated Feb 1779 " : 5 Aug 1780, John Jones, Jr. condemned his bearing rms in a warlike manner " : 6 Apr 1782, John Jones disowned " : 6 Apr 1782, Jonathan Jones complained of for earing arms in a warlike manner " : 6 Apr 1782, Jonathan Jones disowned " : 30 May 1782, John Jones disowned for bearing arms n a warlike manner " : 6 Jul 1782, Nathan Jones disowned The entries suggest the possibility of transcription errors, because onathan Jones could not be disowned on the same day that a complaint as first reported, and it seems unlikely that two different John oneses (with no identifying information) were disowned one month part. Nevertheless, a set of men named John, Jonathan and Nathan Jones ere brothers, and the youngest sons of John and Mary Jones; a set of en named John, Jonathan and Nathan Jones were disowned by rightsborough MM in April-June 1782. A set of men named John, Jonathan nd Nathan Jones were awarded bounty lands in 1784 on certificates of ol. Greenberry Lee, and all three bounty grants in Washington Co GA ere located on Buffalo Creek, each grant being 287.5 acres. Regardless f the particular John Jones meant by any specific MM reference, John ones, son of John and Mary Jones, was definitely a Revolutionary oldier and definitely disowned by Wrightsborough MM along with his ounger brothers. 7. Mary Jones was born in the mid-1750's in Orange Co NC. In ~1772, he married John Anglin in NC or GA. He was born ~1745 in Augusta Co A, the oldest child of James Anglin and Mary Lindsey, who married in ounty Cork, Ireland. James Anglen was a taxpayer in Orange Co NC in 755; he and son John jointly witnessed an Orange Co deed in Apr 1761. ames Anglen sold his NC land in 1772, and applied for a grant in rightsborough GA on 7 Dec 1773 on behalf of himself, his wife, 3 sons nd a daughter, children aged 10-17. The younger children of James nglin (named in his 1 Aug 1777 Wilkes Co GA will, proven 11 Apr 1778) ere David, William, Henry and Catherine. Oldest son John was in a eparate household, and presumably married to Mary Jones, by that time. ary Jones Anglin does not appear in the Wrightsborough MM records, but as evidently a member. On 7 Jun 1788, John Anglin was received by equest at Wrightsborough, along with his "small children" Susannah, lijah, Nathan, Henry, John, Mary and Catherine. In 1830, John and Mary nglin were enumerated in Henry Co AL, both aged 70<80. 8. Jonathan Jones was born ~1761 in Orange Co NC. He and younger rother Nathan were legally minors when John Jones signed his will on 13 an 1781, so born in 1760 or later. His MM memberships followed those f his parents from Cane Creek MM (NC) to Fredericksburgh and Bush River M's (SC) in 1769 to Wrightsborough MM (GA) in 1774. He was disowned by rightsborough MM on 6 Apr 1782 for "bearing arms in a warlike manner". wo pension applications for Revolutionary service, those of Henry nglin (brother of John) and James Swords, refer to enlistment in a olunteer company formed in Wilkes Co GA by a Capt. Jonathan Jones; both pplicants identified their residence as Wrightsborough. Jonathan Jones as issued a warrant for bounty land in 1784, per certificate of Col. reenberry Lee. He received 287.5 acres in Washington Co GA on Buffalo reek, adjacent bounty land issued to Nathan Jones, and near the Buffalo reek land issued to John Jones. Militia captains were awarded 575 cres; the amount of 287.5 acres was that awarded to privates. There ere apparently two different men named Jonathan Jones with evolutionary service in the Wrightsborough area, the Captain being from different family. No information is available re a wife and children f Jonathan Jones. Several men of that name were attested in GA over he following decades, but with no means for identifying a specific one. 9. Nathan Jones was born ~1763 in Orange Co NC. He was disowned by rightsborough MM on 6 Jul 1782. Like his brothers John and Jonathan, e was issued a bounty land warrant for military service on certificate f Col. Greenberry Lee, and received 287.5 acres on Buffalo Creek in ashington Co GA. He married Catherine Greathouse, daughter of Jacob nd Christian Vanhousen Greathouse/Groethaus from Lancaster/Berks Co PA ia Anson Co NC. Catherine was the fifth youngest of 6 Greathouse heirs o whom the estate was distributed in 1801-2: Columbia Co GA deeds, June 29th 1802, recorded Oct 16th 1802. John avis, John Castle, Jacob Greathouse, Abraham Perkins and William olden, relinquish to Nathan Jones of Warren Co in right of his wife atherine, Lot No. 5 in above estate [estate on waters of Germany Creek, rightsborough Township]. No information is available for this couple fter 1802. An early DAR application conflates this Nathan Jones with ne born ~1740 in Edgecombe Co NC, married Courtney Bell there in 1762, nd died in Elbert Co GA in 1807. However, that is an entirely ifferent Jones family, and an older Nathan Jones.

Children of John and Mary (Gregory?) Jones, interpolated from birth order of will, baptismal date, and years of marriages: 1. Richard Jones was born ~1739-40 in PA. He was born no earlier than 1739, because not listed as taxable in 1755 in Orange Co NC with his father. One Richard Jones was disowned by Cane Creek MM on 3 Mar 1764. This was apparently the son of John and Mary, because the other Richard Jones of Cane Creek (1732-1816, son of Richard and Miriam Coppock Jones) remained listed in MM records until his death in Ohio. A Richard Jones received a grant of 150 acres at Wrightsborough GA on 7 Feb 1769 (the first group of grants), although no Richard Jones was mentioned in MM records there at any time. 2. Ann Jones was born ~1740-42 in PA. She married Henry Morgan in Orange Co NC in ~1756; the marriage was not entered in MM records. Their daughter Catherine was born 9 Jan 1758, per birth record in New Garden MM (Rowan Co NC). Joseph Brown, son of Thomas and Ruth Large Brown from Bucks Co PA via Hopewell MM (Frederick Co VA), married Ann Morgan on 27 Oct 1763 at Cane Creek MM, and they returned to his meeting at New Garden MM. The New Garden birth records identify Ann Brown as "former wife of Henry Morgan", and include the first four daughters of Joseph and Ann Jones Morgan Brown (Mary, Ruth, Elizabeth and Philepena). Joseph and Ann Brown moved back and forth across several different meetings. They received a certificate from New Garden MM to Fredericksburg MM (Camden SC) on 29 Jul 1769, with a note that the meeting was held at Bush River. They returned to New Garden MM on 29 Jun 1771 with a certificate issued by Bush River MM on 30 Mar 1771. They were granted another certificate from New Garden MM to Bush River MM on 26 Jun 1773. They had also visited Bush River in the interim, because Joseph Brown witnessed the sale of father-in-law John Jones's land on 7 & 8 Jan 1772. Additional certificates from New Garden MM for the Brown family were dated 30 Aug 1777 (no MM named) for Joseph, wife Ann, stepdaughter Catherine Morgan, daughters Mary, Ruth and Phillipina, and one on 28 Dec 1782 to Deep River MM (Guilford Co NC), received there on 3 Feb 1783. Daughter Ruth Brown married John Mendenhall at Deep River MM on 15 Jun 1785. Daughter Philipeney (sic) was disowned by Springfield MM (Guilford Co NC) on 4 Jul 1795, after marrying a Dickson. Joseph and Ann Jones Brown left NC for TN prior to Jun 1812, when he signed a will as a resident of Dickson Co TN, will proven Jul 1814 in Williamson Co TN. He named his 6 daughters as Polly Worley, Sarah Mitchell, Elisabeth Handlin, Philapena Dickerson, Anne Potter, and Ruth Mendenhall. He was not a practicing Quaker at the time of his death, because his will disposed of 3 slaves. 3. Phillipina Christina Jones was born May 1746 in Lancaster (later Berks) Co PA, baptized 31 Aug 1746 at Atolhoe Lutheran congregation (Altalaha church, Rehrersburg, Berks Co PA) by the Rev. John Casper Stoever. On 28 Apr 1762, she married John Stanfield at Cane Creek MM. John was born 1 Aug 1743 at New Garden MM (Chester Co PA) to John and Hannah Hadley Stanfield. The Stanfield family was received from Newark MM (PA) at Cane Creek MM (Orange Co NC) on 6 Oct 1753. The older John Stanfield died in Orange Co NC in 1755. John and Phillipina Jones Stanfield were granted a certificate from Cane Creek MM on 4 Feb 1786, received at Deep River MM (Guilford Co NC) on 6 Nov 1786. Deep Creek MM (Surry, later Yadkin, Co NC) was set off from Deep River MM in 1793; the Stanfields were in the Surry Co region and members of Deep Creek MM. By 1806, the Stanfields lived on Otter Creek in Cumberland Co KY. John Stanfield signed his Cumberland Co KY will on 17 Aug 1815, proven 17 Apr 1816. He was survived by wife Phillipina, one of his 3 sons, and all 5 daughters. 4. Margaret Jones was born ~1748-50 in PA. On 6 Sep 1766, Margaret Day was reported to Cane Creek MM (Orange Co NC) for marrying out of unity. Her husband, Stephen Day, was a son of Quakers John and Ann Hussey Day, of New Castle MM (DE) and Warrington MM (Chester Co PA). Stephen Day was not mentioned as a Quaker in NC or in GA. The Cane Creek records do not include a note that Margaret Jones Day condemned her marriage out of unity, but she must have done so. Margaret Day was granted a certificate to Fredericksburg MM (SC) on 3 Dec 1768. Stephen Day was one of the initial grantees of Wrightsborough Township (200 acres on 7 Feb 1769). Margaret Day and her son John (b. 13 Dec 1768) were included as initial members of Wrightsborough MM on 4 Oct 1774. Stephen Day's maternal aunt, Theodate Hussey Hodgin, was also an initial member with her husband Robert Hudgin. Stephen Day and his younger children were not associated with the MM. He would have been disowned on the grounds of his militia enlistment in any event. John Day condemned his marriage out of unity (to Ferriby/Phereby Bulloch) on 1 Aug 1789, but was disowned by Wrightsborough MM on 4 Dec 1790. Margaret (Jones) Day was disowned on 3 Mar 1792, reason not stated. Stephen Day received bounty land in Washington Co GA for his military service. He signed a will in Columbia Co GA on 15 Feb 1821, proven 9 Dec 1825. Heirs were his wife Peggy (Margaret Jones); sons Stephen, Jonathan, John and Joseph; sons-in-law Thomas Kendrick (married Theodate Day on 9 Nov 1787 in Richmond Co GA) and John Kendrick (married Rebecca Day on 25 May 1791 in Richmond Co GA); and grandsons Jonathan and Hezekiah Kendrick (sons of Thomas and Theodate Day Kendrick). 5. James Jones was born in the early 1750's in PA or NC. He was not mentally competent to care for himself, but appeared to have at least some independence of movement. He may or may not have joined his parents when they moved to SC in 1769. He was apparently resident with his sister Ann Jones Brown at New Garden MM (Rowan Co NC) on 26 Sep 1772, when he requested a certificate from New Garden to Bush River MM. He was identified in the New Garden minutes as "brother-in-law of Joseph Brown", rather than as "son of John Jones". He was received at Bush River MM on 30 Jan 1773, at roughly the time when John and Mary Jones relocated to Wrightsborough MM. At any rate, James spent at least some time with his parents in the Newberry Co SC region, because he had memories of the location when he returned from GA for a brief visit in 1819. The location of his younger brothers Jonathan and Nathan, who were appointed to care for him, is unknown as of 1819. 6. John Jones was born in the mid-1750's in Orange Co NC. Several different men named John Jones appear in the MM records of Cane Creek (NC) and Wrightsborough (GA), and the modifier "Jr." is not sufficient to narrow down identities. John Jones Jr. witnessed a land sale by his father John on 8 & 9 Mar 1771 at Bush River, so he had left NC by that time and also joined his parents at Wrightsborough MM later. The MM references to a (younger) John Jones include these: New Garden MM: 29 Jun 1771, John Jones rocf Bush River MM, SC, dated 30 May 1771 [same dates as certificate for Joseph and Ann Jones Brown from Bush River to New Garden] Wrightsborough MM: 1 Jul 1775, John Jones Jr. con his mou Cane Creek MM: 2 Jan 1779, John Jones rpd mou Cane Creek MM: 6 Feb 1779, John Jones gct Wrightsborough MM GA Wrightsborough MM: 5 Feb 1780, John Jones rocf Cane Creek MM, NC, dated 6 Feb 1779 " : 5 Aug 1780, John Jones, Jr. condemned his bearing arms in a warlike manner " : 6 Apr 1782, John Jones disowned " : 6 Apr 1782, Jonathan Jones complained of for bearing arms in a warlike manner " : 6 Apr 1782, Jonathan Jones disowned " : 30 May 1782, John Jones disowned for bearing arms in a warlike manner " : 6 Jul 1782, Nathan Jones disowned The entries suggest the possibility of transcription errors, because Jonathan Jones could not be disowned on the same day that a complaint was first reported, and it seems unlikely that two different John Joneses (with no identifying information) were disowned one month apart. Nevertheless, a set of men named John, Jonathan and Nathan Jones were brothers, and the youngest sons of John and Mary Jones; a set of men named John, Jonathan and Nathan Jones were disowned by Wrightsborough MM in April-June 1782. A set of men named John, Jonathan and Nathan Jones were awarded bounty lands in 1784 on certificates of Col. Greenberry Lee, and all three bounty grants in Washington Co GA were located on Buffalo Creek, each grant being 287.5 acres. Regardless of the particular John Jones meant by any specific MM reference, John Jones, son of John and Mary Jones, was definitely a Revolutionary soldier and definitely disowned by Wrightsborough MM along with his younger brothers. 7. Mary Jones was born in the mid-1750's in Orange Co NC. In ~1772, she married John Anglin in NC or GA. He was born ~1745 in Augusta Co VA, the oldest child of James Anglin and Mary Lindsey, who married in County Cork, Ireland. James Anglen was a taxpayer in Orange Co NC in 1755; he and son John jointly witnessed an Orange Co deed in Apr 1761. James Anglen sold his NC land in 1772, and applied for a grant in Wrightsborough GA on 7 Dec 1773 on behalf of himself, his wife, 3 sons and a daughter, children aged 10-17. The younger children of James Anglin (named in his 1 Aug 1777 Wilkes Co GA will, proven 11 Apr 1778) were David, William, Henry and Catherine. Oldest son John was in a separate household, and presumably married to Mary Jones, by that time. Mary Jones Anglin does not appear in the Wrightsborough MM records, but was evidently a member. On 7 Jun 1788, John Anglin was received by request at Wrightsborough, along with his "small children" Susannah, Elijah, Nathan, Henry, John, Mary and Catherine. In 1830, John and Mary Anglin were enumerated in Henry Co AL, both aged 70<80. 8. Jonathan Jones was born ~1761 in Orange Co NC. He and younger brother Nathan were legally minors when John Jones signed his will on 13 Jan 1781, so born in 1760 or later. His MM memberships followed those of his parents from Cane Creek MM (NC) to Fredericksburgh and Bush River MM's (SC) in 1769 to Wrightsborough MM (GA) in 1774. He was disowned by Wrightsborough MM on 6 Apr 1782 for "bearing arms in a warlike manner". Two pension applications for Revolutionary service, those of Henry Anglin (brother of John) and James Swords, refer to enlistment in a volunteer company formed in Wilkes Co GA by a Capt. Jonathan Jones; both applicants identified their residence as Wrightsborough. Jonathan Jones was issued a warrant for bounty land in 1784, per certificate of Col. Greenberry Lee. He received 287.5 acres in Washington Co GA on Buffalo Creek, adjacent bounty land issued to Nathan Jones, and near the Buffalo Creek land issued to John Jones. Militia captains were awarded 575 acres; the amount of 287.5 acres was that awarded to privates. There were apparently two different men named Jonathan Jones with Revolutionary service in the Wrightsborough area, the Captain being from a different family. No information is available re a wife and children of Jonathan Jones. Several men of that name were attested in GA over the following decades, but with no means for identifying a specific one. 9. Nathan Jones was born ~1763 in Orange Co NC. He was disowned by Wrightsborough MM on 6 Jul 1782. Like his brothers John and Jonathan, he was issued a bounty land warrant for military service on certificate of Col. Greenberry Lee, and received 287.5 acres on Buffalo Creek in Washington Co GA. He married Catherine Greathouse, daughter of Jacob and Christian Vanhousen Greathouse/Groethaus from Lancaster/Berks Co PA via Anson Co NC. Catherine was the fifth youngest of 6 Greathouse heirs to whom the estate was distributed in 1801-2: Columbia Co GA deeds, June 29th 1802, recorded Oct 16th 1802. John Davis, John Castle, Jacob Greathouse, Abraham Perkins and William Holden, relinquish to Nathan Jones of Warren Co in right of his wife Catherine, Lot No. 5 in above estate [estate on waters of Germany Creek, Wrightsborough Township]. No information is available for this couple after 1802. An early DAR application conflates this Nathan Jones with one born ~1740 in Edgecombe Co NC, married Courtney Bell there in 1762, and died in Elbert Co GA in 1807. However, that is an entirely different Jones family, and an older Nathan Jones. Harriet Imrey

First, I'm glad that Hinshaw wrote his Quaker genealogies. Without them we Quaker family researchers would be much the poorer. As far as they went they're wonderful. Of course, out of necessity he had to establish some sort of 'cut off' date for his entries, otherwise the books would've been never ending. This necessity caused him to leave out members of some families, mainly the ones who Had not been born (or found) at the time his books were published. I'm an 8th generation descendant of : 8. Joshua TEAGUE + Dorothy GAUNTT -> 7. (Ann) Sophia TEAGUE + John LYON -> 6. (Mary Nell)"Polly" LYON + (James[?]) CARDEN -> 5. James Harvey Reuben (JHR) CARDEN + Mary Elizabeth DEAN -> 4. Wm. Cary CARDEN + Nan FANCHER -> 3. James Robert Graves (RG) CARDEN + Leila ADAMS -> 2. Mary Lois "Billie" CARDEN + Ray SULLIVAN -> 1. Martha Sullivan SMITH My DOROTHY GAUNTT is a good example of an ancestor who was 'lost' until 'dug out of' other records, bc/ of Hinshaw's 'cutoff date' for them. This caused the family record for her birth (1720) to be omitted. Dorothy was a dau/o-Zebulon GAUNTT & Sophia (Sioerts) SHOURDS, b.1729, Springfield, Burlington Co, NJ - d.Sept 1803, Laurens Co, SC. She mar. Joshua Teague in Rowan Co, NC, May 1758.
