Bible Records Page 4 (continued)
By the way....I do not know who has possession of the family bible. When Larry Allan
died, it was my understanding that all of his genealogy research would be donated to the
Iowa Genealogy Society. That is not the case, though they are in possession of some
research.
The following is extracted from the "Hawkeye Heritage" a publication of the Iowa
Genealogical Society in Des Moines. This was published in Summer 1996. It was submitted
by Larry Allan, who was a well known researcher of these families.
His submission was several pages long.
I will transcribe it a little at a time. Abrreviations & spelling are as they were in
the publication.
"Title: Bible Records -- Davis and Jones
Bible Records of William and Abigail (Davis) Jones
William Jones is believed to have been born in N.C. or Lincoln County, KY. The family
moved from Casey County, KY, to Washington County, IN in 1820 then to Warren Township,
Putnam County, IN. They migrated to Appanoose and Wayne Counties in Iowa in 1851.
Family Record, p. 4 Baptisms (Although it says 'baptisms' the wording refers to
births).
