Carolyn, both Amazon.com and Alibris Books have the book, but its very expensive now! My John R. Jones seems to have bought a farm on the old Witherspoon (?) property. I assume this man owned a lot of property in Lamar Co. John's wife was names Mandy but I don't know her last name. I would be most grateful for anything you might run across!
