    1. [VACAMPBE-L] Michael Jones
    2. I have a few records on the Jones family. I have not researched this family thoroughly but I am a descendant of Michael's son, Publius Jones. The records I have are records I have stumbled upon while working on Publius (Publias) Jones. In most of the later records the name is spelled Publius so I will use that spelling to save confusion. Publius Jones, Sr. was born about 1765 and died February 25, 1817 in Campbell County, VA. He left a nuncupative will (Campbell Will Book 4, p. 13). THIS Publius Jones was married to Elizabeth Word. Their son, Publius Jones, Jr. was the Publius married to Rebecca Moore on December 24, 1799 in Campbell Co. (bond date Dec. 4, 1799). I have Michael Jones (the father of Publius Jones, Sr.) death abt. January 22, 1781 in Bedford County, VA. I have the will as being written on May 15, 1780 (Bedford Co. Will Book 1, p. 385). This was according to the probate record on January 22, 1781 in Bedford Co. (found also in Bedford Will Book 1, p. 385.) In his will his youngest children are said to be: Susanna, Dudley, Daniel, Christi (Crestania), and Erasmus. The only other child named in his will is Publias Jones who was to receive 1 shilling sterling silver. Publias was to be an executor for the will. Ann, Michael Jones's wife, was named in the will indicating she may have out lived him. He also names a son-in-law, Samuel, whose surname and spouse are not given. But judging from the last post he may have been the husband of Crestania (Christiana) Jones. As to the children, I have of Michael Jones and Anne [--?--] the children: Lucy, Michael (possibly married to Leanna Dibrill), George, Susanna, Dudley (m. to Jane McKnight), Crestania (Christiana), Erasmus (b. May 8, 1762; m. Amiah Fuqua), Daniel (b. Feb. 16, 1768; m. married to Nancy ?), and my ancestor,Publius (b. abt. 1765). That is all I have gotten so far. I hope this helps.
