Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WBC.2ACI/2897 Message Board Post: I am seeking any sort of documentation I can find to connect my 4th g-grandfather, William JONES to his parents (Unknown). As I showed in the subject line, there is a record of their marriage in Columbia Co., GA in 1797. I was able to connect Lucy THOMPSON to her family (William THOMPSON). I found that William THOMPSON (Sr. and Jr.) relocated from Henrico Co., VA where their family had lived since the late 1600's, to Columbia Co. GA for grants of land for service in the war. This would have occurred in the mid to late 1780's. I know that when the THOMPSON's went, there were some other families that traveled to GA with them. I do not know whether my JONES' were in that group or if they were already in GA when the THOMPSON's arrived there. ANY help along the lines of identifying the family of William JONES would be greatly appreciated. I am guessing that at the time of the move from VA to GA, he would have been in his teens or possibly a young adult. Thanks, Bill Jones Winfield, KS
