Michelle: >From the Macon County History book: The earliest Jones in this line has been proven to be Claborn Jones in Jackson County TN. According to census records he was born in Virginia. About 1830 Claborn married a lady named Frances born ca 1815 in North Carolina as were her parents.

He went by the name Wash Jones at that time. He returned to Jackson County in 1880's. This article was written by Dorothy Jones Graves, daughter of Ernest and Daisy Jones. If this is your family Michelle, let me know. I will look in my other Macon county books for further information. You probably already have this information. Peggy
