RN #265 Jones Records (2)

This notebook continues the work of Caroline Cunningham, 1965.  It contains "Volume III" of her records which contains those with the JONES surname mostly from NC, SC, and some from VA.  She dedicates these volumes:

"Dedicated to the memory of my great-aunt, who was Mary Christian Jones (Mrs. Joseph Motley) Morehead (1854-1935), daughter of Nancy Harriet Keen and Decatur Jones of Bachelors' Hall, Pittsylvania County, Virginia."

This volume (Volume III) begins with "A. Jones" and ends with "Zorobabel Jones".  It is 246 pages in length.  A monumental work indeed it continues.

There is no index to this volume.

RN #251 Jacob Jones(es) NC

This notebook contains research into the JONES surname in early NC.  It is an analysis, chronological, of the JONES surname beginning 1663 for each county in NC up to 1750.   It also contains my work sheets on the various aspects of NC history that played a role in the settlement relating to the JONES surname.  A page of the work sheet is shown below.

This begins in the year 1663 when Charles II granted Carolina to the "Lords Proprietors".  The next page shows the alphabetical listing of NC counties with the dates of their formation.

The chronology for each county would begin with the dates listed above.  A hefty research notebook indeed!

RN #250 Jacob Jones VA

This notebook contains my research into the number of Jacob Jones that resided in VA, and NC.  The Seacock Swamp area of VA was one particular group that needed exploration.  Work sheets and a time line for Jacob Jones and other related surnames are included.  Various maps, charts, and figures are stored here.  Harrison, Donaldson, and Pettypool are surnames connected to this area.  Lots of research work included which was necessary to separate the many Jacob Jones.

RN #249 Jacob Jones(es)

Trying to select the correct family tree member is frequent a challenge.  There are often many with the same name, occurring in the same location, and around the same time period.  This notebook contains my research into Jacob Jones.  It was necessary to identify each Jacob Jones [and associated family members] in the same time period.  Who's on first speaking correctly?  It contains a variety of items selected for the name "Jacob Jones".
