Posted on: HALIFAX CO, VA QUERY FORUM Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Halifax/12369 Surname: Jones, Trevelian, Fleming ------------------------- Stephen JONES, son of Richard JONES of Hico, Halifax Co., VA, was married twice: firstly, to Elizabeth TREVELIAN, 1788 and secondly, to Johannah FLEMING 1821. When Stephen died, a Power of Attorney was issued for Washington JONES to be guardian of Stephen JONES' infant children. What, if any, relationship existed among these people? Any help will be appreciated. Arlina
Arlina's message is a great deal of interest to me. My gg grandfather was Stephen Jones from Halifax Co, VA. He was born 11/4/1801 in Halifax, VA and died in 1886 in Shelby County, TN. He married Nancy Annie Griffin of Mecklenburg Co, VA on 7/25/1826. Known brothers are Robert and Richard Jones. Robert settled in NC and Richard settled in Shelby Co, TN along with Stephen. It seems highly probably to me that my Stephen Jones and brothers are related to Arlina's Stephen and Richard. I don't have proof, but the with the same names it seems that it would be more than a coincidence if not. My question is are the children of Stephen Jones, mentioned by Arlina, stated in the Power of Attorney? Arlina, do you know? This could tie down my search for my Stephen's parents.
