Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline/1695 Surname: Jones ------------------------- Bob: I have been curious about Nicholas as he is listed in Caroline by Wm Jones, who is across from Liberty Church. He's also next to Wm. I . Dickenson. These families have land in the Corbin area of Caroline also. Since it is so close to Spotsylvania, I looked on my Spotsylvania list and found Nicholas 1802 gaurdian of Anny, dau of Lewis Jones. Nicholas Jones 1765 sell to Lenox Scott and Co. 2 negroes. Bk F pg 532 Spotsylvania deeds. The border between Caroline and Spotsylvania wasn't settled until late. Some farms straddle the line. Capt. Wm Jones 1845 Spotsylvania, wife Lucy C. had land in Orange, Va. also. Whenever someone in Va. disappears, I look in NC, Tenn. and KY. At this late date I would say Ohio, Mo., or even Oregon. If Oregon sounds daunting, try the Oregon Donation Land Claims. All indexed. I do have Caroline ancestors who went to Barren, Ky. Do you know anything about Valentine? He's another of those in Caroline with no family ties or land and appears on one cenus, 1850. Jean
