Bob, Since you are in the vicinity of Orange and Caledonia Co. (Groton), let me throw out the following: Grover C. Smith b. 10/7/1892, Groton, VT, m. 1/24/1917 Emma Ruth Jones b. 12/26/1889, South Ryegate, VT daughter of Fred Hassen Jones and Martha Maria Heath. Not sure where Fred Hassen Jones was from. Have you seen these names in your research?

Charles Jones b. c1755, lived in Orange and had a _bunch_ of kids, names attached. At least two children, Mary and Relief/Leafy had moved to western NY state by the 1820's, where they married. I don't know whether Charles was related to Aquila Jones of Orange Co. or not. If any of you run across any Orange County Joneses b. 1750-1800, I'd appreciate hearing about them. Thanks.
