Hi, listers, I just joined and am hoping someone can help me with a major brick wall. I found a Hamilton JONES listed in Index book 10, Surry Co. Deeds, 1769-1778. He purchased property from Thomas Griffis. On the 1782 census for Surry Co., Heads of Household, the estate of Hamilton Jones is listed, so I'm assuming he died during the previous year. The estate is listed with 5 Whites and 18 Blacks. Does anyone have any information on this man? I'm grasping at straws here, because in 1834, Shelby Co., KY, a Peter JONES (b. VA) married Anna W. CINNAMOND. They had several sons, one of whom was my g-grandfather, Daniel W. JONES. They also had one named Jesse H. JONES. Daniel W. JONES married Mollie JENKINS in 1866 in Jefferson Co., KY. They named their first son Jesse Hamilton JONES (my grandfather). I'm figuring the Hamilton had to be a family name. Does anyone have any information on this JONES family? All help greatly appreciated. Patricia Jones Settle __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
