I've been exploring the family of James Wynne JONES as I read through Your Guide to Cemetery Research. While I haven't yet found a bible or a bible transcription, I may indeed have found a bible that was owned by a relative of James Wynne JONES:

JONES Family; Holy Bible; 830 pp.; printed 1824 by E. Gardner, London, England; entirely in Welsh; was the personal Bible of Lewis Jones (no family data); found in Cincinnati, Ohio on 30 Dec 1995. {Returned to family}

Thanks to http://www.fordnagle.com/ for their work in reuniting records to their owners or I would never have seen this reference.

If you have additional information about this family of Welsh immigrants to Cincinnati in the mid-1850s, I'd love to hear from you. The JONES family is a collateral line but I've been intrigued by their monument at Spring Grove Cemetery. My 2nd great-grandaunt, Mary Elizabeth MOREHOUSE married James Wynne JONES.

Update
I think this may be the marriage of John and James Wynne Jones' parents! This information was pulled from the website, http://www.llgc.org.uk/index.php?id=245. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to view the marriage record. The same website does have wills available that are viewable online. Happy hunting!
