The Lightfoot family was associated with my JONES family very early in the English side of the family tree. [Actually the Welsh side that had come to Kent, and the London area, to make its way in this new world of English.]  As a surname, Lightfoot helped separate and identify my branch of the family tree.

RN #182 Thomas Joneses

This notebook continues the research documentation of my JONES family.  Crossing the great pond was part of the challenge of my tree climbing.  Thomas Jones was the connection between the Virginia family and the Welsh family. [Living in county Kent.]  A great deal of time was needed to make this connection, but it provided the bridge between the two continents.   On the front of this notebook is the following:
