Mary, I have just now seen your post.i changed my email about the time you posted it.Sorry for the delay in replying.
The Edward Jones/Priscilla Jones family was not related to my Jones' of Hanover Co., VA and Granville/Bute/Warren Co., NC.I call them the "rich Jones'." I come from the "poor Jones'" line who migrated from Hanover Co., VA to NC beginning in the 1740s.My direct ancestor in Granville was Benjamin Jones who arrived in about 1762.However, three other Jones' - Richard Jones, Samuel Jones and John Jones - who were, I believe, his brothers arrived earlier.Ricard Jones received a land grant in Edgecombe Co., NC in 1744 - the part which became Granville Co.
I will be glad to share what i have on these families if interested.
