I don't believe James Jones was mentioned in any earlier emails I sent.However, I can give you some information on the parents and siblings of Winnifred Jones Shelton.Winnifred's parents were William and Anne Jones.William's will appears in Will Book 1 (1791-1823), Patrick County, Virginia, December 16, 1818, pp. 122-123.He mentions his wife Ann, nine children, and two grandchildren (William and Jonathan Shelton, sons of Frederick and Winnifred Jones Shelton).An oddity of this will is that rather than the 9 children he cites, Jones lists 11 children: Nancy, Zilpha, Sally, Augustin, Jonathan, and Gabriel (a minor at the time) Jones; also, Winnifred Shelton, Elizabeth Crowiher (?), Polly Francis, Rachel Fulton, and Lucy Philprod (?).Executors of the estate were Augustin and Jonathan Jones, and Jonathan Francis (a son-in-law?).The deed was recorded in February 1819, so William died after December 16, 1818 and prior to the end of February 1819.
William's estate inventory was listed in Will Book 1 of Patrick County in 1819, pp. 303-304.I didn't copy in detail because the list was extensive, but for example, he had 7 sets of bed goods and furniture, 8 slaves, 4 horses, etc.
