Thank you, Sheila for the information on the 1835 Pensioners. I have the
following additional information on Moses Jones:

MOSES JONES was born Abt. 1762, and died 1851/2.  He married HESTER
(ELIZABETH) THOMAS.

became Williamson County in 1839. Service:  Private: North Carolina.  He

Regiment, North Carolina troops fromSept. 10, 1782 until Mar 1, 1783.

Does anyone have more information on Moses Jones? Was John Jones b 1798
(source 1850 census) a son of Moses? Was Calvin Levi Jones b. April 08, 1811
a son of Moses? (Calvin Levi Jones is my 2nd great grandfather. I have some
information on Calvin and his issue.)

Any information on Moses and/or his issue would be helpful and appreciated.
