I am researching my gggrandfather Bluford Hayes Jones born 1829 in Alabama.His parents were born in South Carolina. His siblings were Emily, Mary and a brother name "Ortha". I have researched back to 1850 but can't get back any farther to find his parents.

The 1850 census document is written in cursive. It is hard to read. The name Ortha is best that I can figure out. Has anyone heard of that name before? I do know for certain Ortha is a male. I thought I would try researching that name and see what I can find out. Thanks for any help!

I am looking for any information on Sina Jones b. 1807, I know not where, m. Timothy Biram Vining 22 May 1826, Meiggs County, Ohio and d. 1891 Meiggs County, Ohio.  Any information will be more than appreciated. Thanks.

I have information on Jonses in Union & Johnson Counties in Illinois back to William D. Jones b. 1780 in NC.  My direct line also includes William A. Jones, Isaac Newton Jones, William Henry Jones, and more.  I also have a book, The Joneses of Kentucky's Calloway and Marshall Counties 1820-1910 that has some good information.

I am looking for info on my great-grandfather, Samuel M Jones.  I think the M is for Melvin because it has been used in 3 more generations.  He was bc 1848 in NC or TN.  He married Lucy Yarborough bc 1865 in GA, d/o William Y and Frances Busby. Their children were: Fannie, Rosa, Bessie, Annie, John Robert, and Charlie Melvin (called Ted) my grandfather, h/o Martha IRENE Beckham.

Not sure when Samuel Jones moved to GA and not sure where he moved from. He may have known the Yarboroughs in NC and moved with them...just not sure. The earliest thing I have is from a book "A History of Coweta County, Georgia, The Newnan-Coweta Historical Society", p. 387.

If anyone has any info on this Jones or Yarborough family, I would greatly appreciate it.   Thanks.

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.

Hi Cathy, What was John D Jones birthdate? Just making sure I have this right; was John D Jones wife Sarah Anne Thomas?

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
