    2. Harriet Imrey
    3. 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

    2. 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?)
