I am sorry that I don't know more abt them, but my GGG-G'mother was Rachel Rebecca JONES, b. 1808, Spartanburg Dist., SC. There were several Samuel JONES in Sptg. at that time, and I'm trying to find her father. I've been told that a Samuel JONES was her father, but it's not the one that folks have thought it was. Rebecca moved to Greenville Dist., SC, w/her husband by 1840. There was a Leander JONES who was in the area both in Sptg. and in G'ville - near where she was. Then this Samuel JONES popped up in Pickens Dist., also nearby, and has a grandson named Leander. I'd say there is a large chance that they all connect somewhere. The big question for us remains - where do they connect???? Please let me know if you find anything. Oh, yes, Rebecca said in several censuses that her mother was born in VA, and Leander said the same. Also, one Francis JONES, male, said his mother was b.VA. The Samuel JONES in Pickens Dist. was married to Lydia STEVENSON, and she said she was born in VA. Lots of VA folks there, don't you think?
