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.
