Hi,

Well, after three years of research, I finally found the JONES family
I've been looking for in Duplin County. Before I name names, I thought
I'd tell my method. Working forward from the oldest ancestor I knew,
Elias Jones, I tracked down every living JONES relative I could find.
Considering the name, it was not an easy task. I found a distant relative
that had family letters from the 1850s, and everyone below was named. It
sure paid off. The following is the particulars on the family.

John JONES: b. NC in abt. 1780, lived in Duplin until about 1845, died
after 1855, probably in Obion County, Tennessee. By his first marriage he
had 1) John J. Jones, born in NC about 1805, moved to Macon County,
Alabama in the 1830s, married Martha about 1838, 2) Robert Jones, born in
NC about 1807, moved away from Duplin in the 1830s, 3) Francis B. Jones,
born about 1810 in NC, moved to Obion County, Tennessee about 1850 (Note:
This Francis B. Jones was the nephew of Stephen Jones, who wrote a will
in Duplin in about 1835), 4) Molly Jones, born about 1814, 5) Stephen
Jones born about 1816, moved to Gibson/Obion County area of Tennessee
before 1850, 6) Katherine Jones, born about 1818, married John HALL of
Duplin County, and moved to Gibson County, Tennessee about 1845, and 7)
Elias Sinclair Jones, born in NC in 1824, married Keziah EZZELL of Duplin
County about 1844, lived in Johnston County, NC until 1860, then to SC,
where he died in 1878. John Jones, Sr. remarried around 1831 to Mary, and
they had Elijah Jones, born about 1832, in North Carolina, moved to Obion
County, Tennessee about 1850.
