Steve: My ggg grandfather William Spalding Hill and his third wife Catherine died in 1852 in Jonesville. One of my fellow family researchers Mrs. Leo Sullivan of Marshall provided me with this information, but I have no proof. One of William's daughter's married Douglas M. Jones who is supposedly a descendant of the founder of Jonesville. Anyhow, here is the information I have. JONESVILLE, TEXAS (Old Border), Harrison County, Texas - Information from Historical Museum Library Records - The Post Office was established under the name of Border on January 18, 1848. Name of the Post Office was changed to Joneville on November 13, 1849. Jonesville was named for a man named William Jones who established the first store in 1849. The original Trading Post operator William Jones, moved it in 1874 to take advantage of the railroad. The Trading Post or store was in existence before 1849 at Old Border. In 1868 Jonesville moved 1 1/2 miles south. Then in 1874 moved to present location. A Napoleon Jones was Postmaster in 1857. Note: Mr. Rhea Alexander, grandwon of Charlotte E. Hill Alexander, said he remembers his grandmother saying that a yellow fever epidemic spread through th Jonesville-Waskom area (Waskom was then Powellton/town) during the rearly 1850's and a large number of people died.
