I too am descendant from Donald McClardy-> John Robert (McClardy) Jones->Rev. Joseph Simeon Jones Sr.-> Joseph Simeon Jones JR.-> Daniel Edward Jones-> myself.I just found this out yesterday from a great uncle.My dad Daniel, died when I was ten so this branch of the family has been hard for me to find anything on as I didn't know much about them.I knew Joeseph Sr.'s name and that was it.So this info I just received yesterday has been a gold mine.I am just starting to look for info regarding Donald.All I have was his name, he was born in Scotland and that he married Almira Pridgen Dec 9, 1863.I did find Almira in the 1880 US Census for Rockfish, Cumberland Co., NCShe was married to William Jones.Robert McClardy is listed as a stepson and then Almira and William have 5 more children.I gathered from this that something must have happened to Donald but did not know what.Your info sure helped in that department!So thank you.I noticed that Robert was about 4 years old when William and Almira had their first child together- according to the 1880 census anyway.He must not have remember his dad much or something to take the last name of Jones instead of his birth name.My sister and I were wondering about the story on that.This has all been very interesting.Any help you could give us would be great.Thanks for your time.
