Since much of the family history seems to center around Boone County, I'm
wondering if anyone (possibly relatives) might have information on the
earliest generations listed below? Any help would be appreciated.

Family history says: "the family came to North Carolina from Wales and
emigrated to Kentucky at an early date, locating not far from Lexington.
Records indicate James came to Kentucky prior to 1786."
One source also said, "William Jones, a Welshman (keeper of the Queen of
England's wardrobe) married an English lady, the Queen of England's
favorite hair-dresser). But part of this was crossed out.
