Does anyone hae any information on Edward (Ned) Jones? Edward Jones bond to marry Betsey Hodges, dau. Robert, Jul. 25, 1805, Sur. Wilson Mattox. Md. by John Ashworth. Wingfield, The Marriage Bonds of Franklin County, Virginia 1786-1858, 130. Robert Hodges named daughter Elizabeth Jones in his will dated Aug. 15, 1823, probated Nov. 5, 1832. Franklin Co. (Va.) Will Book 3/517. These are possibly the same family: 1850 Census, Franklin Co., Va., p. 132b. Oct. 13, 1850, 1077/1073 Elizabeth Jones wf50 farmer 200 Sarah A. wf18 Rufina wf15 Possibly Franklin Co., Va. 1860 Census (NE) 359/355: Elizabeth Jones 71 Sarah 31 Rufina 28 358/354 Jesse Jones 33 Sarah E. 22 Rosabel E. 5 mo. Thomas T. 39 Jesse Jones bond to marry Sarah E. Helm, Nov. 18, 1858. Wingfield, Marriage Bonds 131. But when daughter Dolly married Robert Mitchell Hodges Dec. 3, 1860, her name was given as Dolly Hodges, 35, daughter of Ned Jones and Betsy Hodges. It is likely Edward Jones is the sone Edward mentioned in this sketch. Esther (Hessie) Stewart was a grandaughter of Robert Hodges. (From Page 549 of "History of Morgan County, Illinois, 1878) JONES, ROBERT A., representative farmer of Morgan County, was born in Morgan County, Tenn., in 1818; his father, Waitman Jones was born in Franklin County, Virginia, in 1797; tracing this family further, Robert A., the grandfather, was born in England, in 1748, of a wealthy and distinguished family; he acquired a liberal education, and became one among the noted scholars of England; he then married an English lady, who died in England, and whose name is unknown; by this marriage two children: Edward and Phoebe; to better his fortunes he crossed the Atlantic, years before steamboats were seen on the broad waters; settling in Franklin County, Virginia, he there married Miss Susan Richards, by whom he had eight children, six of whom grew to maturity; names: Edward, Phoebe, Reuben, Elizabeth, Waitman, and Susan; Robert A. Jones died in Virginia, after a long and busy life; Waitman, the father of the subject of this notice, grew up in Virginia and Tennessee, where he married Miss Esther Stewart; by this marriage twelve children: Robert, Mary, Brice, Susannah, Reuben, Edward, Elah, Phoebe, Elizabeth, Esther Jane, Hannah A., and Winny C.; Mr. Jones settled some five miles from Waverly, in Morgan County, in 1828; he had on arrival but $9.50 in money, and a pony; his family small, but each strove and worked for a better condition of affairs; in Morgan county the old folks passed the remainder of their lives, where they were living witnesses of the stirring scenes of western life. Robert, who heads this sketch, grew up on the homestead, and when old enough attended the subscription schools; his present liberal education was derived by his own indomitable will, long after his schooling ended; Mr. Jones married, in Macoupin County, Miss Letitia Ann England; by this marriage fourteen children; Catherine M., Elah, Minerva, Martha Ann, John, Lucinda, Elizabeth, Esther J., Susannah, Mary m., Waitman A., Jas. P., Wm. D., and Samuel E., ten of whom are living; Mr. Jones, like many men of enterprise, commenced life with little save a rugged will; his first tax receipt as for 37 cents, a vast difference compared to his present prosperous condition, owning 600 acres of valuable land, and Waverly property, and takes a front rank as a farmer and citizen of this county. I don't find anything on Edward from 1805 until he is mentioned in the marriage record in 1860.There is a lot more on these families from the Chestnut Creek area (Hodges, Stewart, Richards, Jones, England) who intermarried and many of whom moved first to Tennessee and then to Illinois:http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~makaylor/gen-stew.htmlBob Hodges
