I HAVE RECORDS OF HIS BEING IN GRANVILLE, WILKES, AND SURRY COUNTIES IN N. CAROLINA. HE MARRIED ELIZABETH COPE AND SOME OF HIS CHILDRENS' NAMES I KNOW ARE ISAAC, VINSON, MOSES, JOHN, WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE HE WAS RELATED TO MEMBERS OF THE JONES FAMILY IN GRAYSON AND/OR MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA. THE NAME "MINITREE" OCCURS AS A GIVEN NAME SEVERAL GENERATIONS LATER BY VINSON JONES'S GRANDCHILDREN IN CLAY COUNTY, KENTUCKY. I NEED THE NAME OF VINSON JONES'S PARENTS AND PLACE OF BIRTH AS WELL AS ANY CONNECTION KNOWN TO THOSE JONES FAMILIES IN GRAYSON AND/OR MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA. MY EMAIL ADDRESS HAS CHANGED TO: QUILP@ALLTEL.NET. I LIVE IN LEXINGTON, KY.
