Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yAC.2ACE/936.1 Message Board Post: I cannot give you an absolute answer to your query but my g-father was Charley Alexander Jones, born 1867 married to Lear Jestin Rutherford and had eight children, all born and raised in Grayson County. Charley's father was William B (born in Floyd County). Wm B born abt. 1846 Floyd County, died sometime after 1930 in Montgomery County. I've searched through all the Jones' in Grayson, Ashe NC, Alleghany NC, Montgomery and surrounding places but have never been able to make the connection needed. I've noticed the Minitree name numerous times throughout SW Va families but again have not come up with the right combination. I wish you luck! Viola Jones (Shenton)
