Hi, I am the granddaughter of Thomas F. Joines/Joynes. He and his family were from Dekalb County, TN. His ancestor was Poindexter Joines. From genealogy research and from other sources, I have found many different branches of relatives in Dekalb County. One Joines Dekalb cousin told me we were related to many many families. Some of them: Spencer, Bain, Mathis (double cousins), O'dell, Hale..etc.. Our branch moved to Florida in the 1940's when my grandmother became ill. Thomas's brothers were Henry (who died in WWII), Delbert, Malcolm, Charles and his sisters including twin Lois and Willie Mai. Thomas's father was Charles Monroe Joines who married Mattie Mathis, daughter of Bluford. Maggie
