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.

Researching James D Jones 1860 birthplace? wife; Georgia Dixon, children: Anna Mabel, Frank, Lola, Clarence, Myrtle Jones, Home in 1900- 1910 Danville, Vermilion, Illinois. James D Jones worked in the coal mines. He may have had a second wife, Jennie Jones.

Comment by Thomas Z. Jones on December 21, 2012 at 11:14am

I am researching the ancestry of James Jones (1790 - 1862). He married Elizabeth Henderson in about 1810/11. They had four children, William (married Rhoda McClelland), Nancy (married Reason Dye), Hannah (married James McClelland, sister to Rhoda)' and John.

James and Elizabeth Henderson Jones lived their entire lives in Greene County, PA.

Family history suggests that James Jones' father was Robert Jones. Robert found in the 1790, 1800 and 1810 Census living in Cumberland Townshio, Greene Co., PA. Also family legend is that Robert Jones had at least two brothers - Charles and Andrew, who moved to Columbiana Co., Ohio in the early 1800s. However, I have no confirmed evidence on these items of information.

It is likely that this Jones family came to the Greene Co., PA area from eastern PA, MD (Harford Co. area)' or VA in the mid- to late 1780s.

Any help on this welcome!

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.

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 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!

Comment by Cathy Milioto on October 31, 2011 at 6:26pm

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?
