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.

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.

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 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.

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.
