Hello Ripley County researchers,
It's been quite awhile since I last posted my search. I'm looking for
any data concerning my gr gr grandfather Samuel JONES. He marr.
Catherine (KITTY) VanPelt 1808 in Fayette County, Ky. They came to
Ripley County about 1820. They had children: Eliza, Samuel, Joseph,
Henrietta & Henry C. who was born 1830 in Ripley County. Samuel died
1834 in Ripley County. The estate sale was published in "The Patterland
Press". I have never found any record of this publication. Eliza marr. a
James WILSON in Fayette County, Ky. Henry C. marr. Amanda Elizabeth
JONES 1/10/1851 in Jennings County, In. Amanda was the dau. of James
JONES & Rebecca COLEMAN.
I need to find the parents for Samuel & his birth date. I believe he may
have been born 1780/1790 in Maryland.
I would like to hear from anyone having information regarding this
family. Thanks in advance for your help.
Ed Jones New Palestine, In.
