[or-roots] Jones is such a "rare" surname

[Susie]

Tell me about it. I am looking for both John and James Jones. And may I add, not having much luck. My John Jones had daughter Constant born in Virginia and son Benjamin born in North Carolina. Constant married John McCullough 12-10-1787  in Harrodsburg, Mercer County Kentucky per her pension application in Ripley County Indiana my mothers side. And on my fathers side Mary Hetzler married James Jones in Lewis County Missouri.

I have little hopes of sorting all of this out but will keep lurking on this list for any further information regarding the surname Jones.
Thanks
Susie

  To Leslie:

  My Jones settled in Nebraska.  One went to the area of Grants Pass and had a jewelry
  store, but later settled in Los Angeles and died there.  We have David Jones and his wife
  Ann who were born in and died in Wales.  About 144 pages singles spaced of descendants. 
  Jones mar. Jones mar Jones.  Ours were from Carmarthen (shire).  Related names, Mister,
  Thomas, Roberts, McPhillips, Kropach, Hilmer, De Jahn, Grabowski, Kallenbach, Hudson,
  Bernard, Sutter, Brunner, and many others.

    Eugene;

    Yes; I have Edward Jones ma. Mary Jones, (not my work, so probably her
    married name only) no further info, she lists one child; Thomas J. Jones b.
    11 June 1830 in Cardiffshire, Wales, UK, 18 October 1860 in Nashotah, Wisc.
    he married my great Aunt Sarah Jane Foster b. 18 May 1837 in Erie Co., Penn.

    These are the Waukesha Co Jones family I mentioned earlier, if any of your
    Welsh Jones folks came from Wisconsin let me know and I will send you the
    whol shebang as I have them or you can go to Blondie's Web site at;

    http://webpages.charter.net/roseandthorns/dcfg03.htm#2079

    And actually if anyone is Curious, they can follow down the page and find a
    link to Minnie Foster and her oldest child was me own Pappa. The lady who
    put this site together is a distant cousin, and a real character. We wish
    she lived closer as the one time she came to visit we had a good time, even
    though she got to meet most of the family at my oldest brothers memorial. It
    was the second service we had for him, we held it on the ranch under the
    oaks on his share of the Family farm and it was one of those "celebration of
    life things" that folks do that really was a joyous/mournful occasion. But I
    digress again I see. Well I still have to try and develop survey coordinates
    for a lot survey tommorrow, so you probably won't see much more of me
    tonight unless it is real late.

    Are any of your Jones related to the Jones of Wales.  We have two separate
    families both
    related by marriage and both from Wales circa
    1800's.

    Glenn;

    I've been meaning to ask you, do you have any connection to Sanford Goodell
    Jones born Oct 1847 in Pennsylvania?

    I have two spouses listed for him; Geneva L. ? born abt June 1852 wisconsin
    and Susan Emaline McGinnis b. 16 September 1872; Galesville, Douglas Co.,
    Oregon

    By the latter he had two children Asa 04 December 1906 and Frank 16 December
    1907 plus a daughter Pearl who died young.

    Jones is such a "rare" surname that I realize the likelihood is almost nil,
    but am a bit curious, I also have cousins Jones of Welsh extraction from
    Waukesha Co, Wisconsin on my Dad's mother's side (Foster) and some odds and
    ends here and there I haven't really pinned down.

    If gas had not gone so high I would be doing a lot of traveling right now in
    search of more on my family as I have been on Vacation for nearly two weeks.
    Researching Cross, Craig, Robie, Roe, Barber, Jones and other related
    families.
