Trying to catch up with the right Joneses. Looking for the 12 siblings
of John R(Robert?) JONES that family maintains in oral history.

no additional parental or WILSON family info. John was one of the children
of James and Elizabeth ROBINSON JONES. Mother, Elizabeth, died c. 1843.
John apprenticed as blacksmith at age 13.
