David,
You wrote "In my Jones line I've noticed names like Israel." Were these
surnames? I have 2 brothers named Benjamin and Buckner who were supposed to
be from Wales that came to the US. Information that was passed down said
that their brothers Maos and Mose remained in Wales. Benjamin is supposed
to have married Mary ? prior to leaving. Their known son was born about
1812 in Virginia.
Does this ring a bell?
Thanks
Bruce
Heath, Ohio
