Yes, I saw books on land records in the FHL for Anderson Co, TN. Those families are so intertwined it is crazy. Susannah Jones (daughter of T. & M) married William Griffith, their son Amos married a daughter of William Standefer. Another son, Benjamin married Chole Peak, daughter of Jacob Peak and Mary/Polly Jones (daughter of T & M.) So, Benjamin and Chole were cousins.
Mark Rentfro married the sister of my William Standefer (husband of Jemima Jones).
I've heard Mary might be the Mary Jones in the will of Joseph Rentfro, but some think she is the wife of Robert Jones, so more research.
I narrowed down the records in Anderson Co, TN also in Henry Co, VA, to those with Thomas Jones. Hoping to make connections with him and those on the same records. Lots of witnesses on most of them and a LOT of Joneses. I've especially selected those with a tie to William Standefer, I'm sure the Thomas Jones on those records is our Thomas.
I don't know if you already have this, children of Thomas and Mary listed in a Peak family Bible:
Joseph, b 19 Sep 1756
Jemima, b 15, Aug 1761 (this date also in Standefer Bible)
Susannah, b 6 Apr 1765
Sarah, b 31 Mar 1767
Mary/Polly, 21 Aug 1769
Thomas, Jr., b 13 Dec 1771
Fanny, b 22 Dec 1773
Lydia, b 30 Jan 1776
I love that Pigg River name. I Googled it using Henry Virginia and Jones, too. Found a couple of stories on families not in our tree, but living there at the same time and Thomas was mentioned in them.
Thank you for bringing to my attention the Rev War widow's pension record for Susannah Jones Griffith. I have access to Heritage Quest, so can view these pension files. More wonderful handwriting. Well, not the handwriting so much as the bleeding of the ink on reverse side of the pages. Oh, groan.
Happy Hunting (^_^)
