Hello Ripley County researchers,
It's been a long time since I posted a search for my grgr grandparents.
He was Samuel JONES born probably in Md. about 1780/1790. Samuel marr.
Catherine (Kitty) Van Pelt in Fayette County, Ky. 1808. Samuel & Kitty
came to Ripley County about 1820. They had children:
1. Eliza who marr James WILSON & I believe they went back to Ky.
2. Samuel no info for him
3. Joseph no info for him
4. Henrietta no info for her
5. Henry C. born 1830 in Ripley County. He marr. Amanda JONES 1/10/1851
in Jennings County & they later lived in Decatur County. Henry & Amanda
were my gr grandparents. She was the dau. of James Jones & Rebecca
COLEMAN of Mason County, Ky.
Samuel Jones died in 1834 in Ripley County. I have copied the estate
settlement records for Samuel at the Versailles Courthouse. The estate
sale was published in the "Patterland Press" paper. I have not been able
to find any record of this publication. Only the children which I have
listed are mentioned in Samuel's estate. There is no mention of his wife
Kitty. I'm wanting to know what cemetery Samuel was buried in as well as
the birth & death dates for Kitty & any of the children except Henry C.
Thanks in advance for any help in my search.
Ed Jones New Palestine, In.
