Good day,
I am researching my grandfather JOSEPH HARRRISON JONES s/o OLIVER PERRY JONES s/o NACY
HARRISON JONES s/o JAMES JONES ancestors.
I found information on this family in five places and they are consistently wrong. Two on
LDS site (
www.familysearch.com) & two on (
www.ancestry.com) the FINNEY and the JONES
messaged boards & Ancestry World tree Project.
The errors are simple ones, but they make a person doubt the rest of the research.
#1. OLIVER PERRY JONES born in PARKE CO., NC,
CORRECTION: he was born 14 MAY 184 in Pike Co., IN (per his military papers & his
birth record)
#2. Indianapolis is in Marion Co.,
it is the state capitol. Rockville is the county seat.
#3. Montezuma is in Parke Co., not Vermillion Co., IN.
These kind of mistakes are simple, but makes me doubt the other information, as to where
you list Counties and States, especially PARKE CO., IN., which is very often in this
family.
I would love to share family information with you, perhaps together we can figure out the
correct information.
THIS IS, OF COURSE, A WORK-IN-PROGRESS.
This is too much fun
Mema
