My ggrandfather, William Henry (Billy) Jones, married Martha Sprouse. In addition, his aunt, Caroline Jones, married John Sprouse. These Joneses were first found in Draytonville township (formerly Union County now Cherokee) and later wound up around White Stone in Spartanburg County. I know that Martha's mother was Mahala Sprouse, daughter of James Sprouse. I am trying to tie them to Vincent Sprouse if possible. Billy's father was Henry Jones. I have been unsuccessful at going back further here but believe they may be tied to the Charles and John G. Jones group (Charles founded Jonesville, John was his brother. I tend to think John may be the line as there is no mention of a Henry in the fairly well documented Charles line). Would be interested to hear about your Joneses and Sprouses and see if there are ties.
