I'm looking for Robert Jones born around 1821 in Alabama (we assume). He supposedly married a Margaret Green Born around 1821. They had a son John Chesser Jones in about 1845 in Blount County Alabama. He and His family lived in Fayette County Alabama in 1850. It is said that he and his sons were in the Civil War together. His ancestors are all buried in Tremont in Itawamba County, Mississippi. I'm stuck. Hit the brick wall hard. Any help or ideas? I feel like I searched and googled everything. I don't know, I think i need fresh eyes on it.

Researching John A. Jones and Martha Humphreys of Fluvanna County. They were married in 1783, marriage registered in the county on December 9, 1785. There were two gentlemen by the name of John Jones in, or around, Fluvanna county at this time. On the personal property list one is listed as John Jones - son of David, or Capt. My ancestor is listed as John Jones - powder. Have found tax records in Albermarle and Fluvanna county. Know he was in this area through 1787. Unable to locate birth or death records. Would love to know why he was called powder (gunpowder?). John & Martha's son was Solomon Jones - born in Fluvanna county, but died in Barbour county, WV on May 4, 1862.

My John Jones was transported to Australia in 1829 so know nothing of his past in England. He married another convict Elizabeth Walters in 1838 and they had moved to Dubbo NSW by 1846 for the birth of 2nd daughter (as they are only baptism records neither give any information of parents except names. Birth certificates of last 2 children only state London as parents birth place. Deaths just say England

I have a proverbial brick wall. Mary Jones married my ancestor Ebenezer Chamberlin. Possibly NY about 1825. They had a large family, I believe MARY died abt 1880 in Illinois. Unable to find any marriage info for them.

I am looking for information on the James Harrison Jones line (Kentucky).  My great grandmother was James's daughter, Delilah Bell Jones married to Andrew Agee. 

I have found Danial Paris Jones and Nancy Mcquin, James H. Jones parents.

I am unable to go back any further in the Jones line.

Jones in Georgia, USA ---

Have hit a brick wall with my Great Great Grandfather - David Lewis Jones (David Louis).  First appears in 1850 Putnam County, GA census with mother ANN (Head of House) and sister Lucy, Mary Elizabeth and brother James Judson. 

The Jones next appear on the 1860 Harris County, GA census -- she was deeded land by an Arthur Farley in Harris County.

Have not been about to find the husband of ANN or ANN'S MAIDEN NAME OR FAMILY.  Have been unable to find any siblings of Ann's unknown Jones husband.

This Jones family is well documented in Harris and Muscogee County, GA and Lee County, AL after they moved west between 1850 and 1860. 

David Lewis joined the 35th GA Infantry Company K on July 4, 1861 -- there was a Robert Issac Jones (son of William Clayton Jones) - who lived in Russell County, AL and also came to Harris County, GA on 7/4/1861 to join Company K with David Lewis -- they served together throughout the war -- and in the early 1900s - David Lewis witnessed Robert Issac's Civil War papers -- they were both living in the Phenix City, AL area.   Have to feel like they knew each other -- both were born aroun 1843 -- but Robert did grow up Russell County, AL - his father William Clayton was born in GA - and married in Monroe County, GA during the early 1830s.

This has consumed us for about 40 years now -- and so want to find David Lewis' father.

Thanks All -

Bob Jones

Jesse was found in the 1850 census of Abington township of Wayne County, Indiana. He owned $800 worth of land. Neither he or Sarah could read or write. He was next found farming in Cloverdale township of Putnam County, Indiana in 1860-1870. He owned $2,600 worth of land there in June 1870. On November 28, 1870 Jesse purchased 133 acres in Jackson (now Jennings) township of Owen County. He owed back taxes on 21 acres of that land in 1873.
Jesse Jones died between 1873 and 1880, when Sarah is found in the 1880 Owen County, Indiana census listed as a widow. She lived in Jennings township. It is likely that the family moved to Owen County in the 1870's.
