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!

My Jones family comes from Vermilion County, Illinois via Wales. My gg grandfather married into another Welsh family-the Thomases. John and Thomas Thomas sailed over here to the states from Glamorganshire/Machen Wales in 1852 and the wives came with the children in 1853. It was Thomas Thomas' daughter Sarah Anne who married my gg grandfather John D. Jones. I can find no other information about him in Illinois. Can anyone help?

My Jones family moved from Union County, South Carolina (1850) to Gibson County, Tennessee.  By 1860, my Joneses were in Independence County, Arkansas.  Glad to find other researchers working on this wonderful family!!

My Jones line is stuck trying to find the father of my husband's 2nd great grandfather, William Woodson Jones. He was born in Elberton, GA in 1807 and died in Hardeman, TN in 1880. His mother was Mary Magdeline Woodson, born in VA in 1777 and died in Hardeman, TN in 1870 at age 93. Does anyone know this Jones family?

I've been researching James Henry Jones (b. 1849; d. 1923) of Moore's Prairie Township, Jefferson County, Illinois. Also looking for information about his grandfather, William Jones, who died in 1832 in Todd County, Kentucky at only 30 years of age. Have not been able to determine how he died or where he's buried.
