Hello Ripley County Researchers,
I'm seeking information concerning my JONES ancestors who were: Samuel
JONES & wife Catherine (Kitty) VanPelt. They came to Ripley County about
1820 from Fayette County, Ky. They lived near Cross Plains. They had
children: 1. Samuel jr. 2. Joseph 3. Eliza 4. Henrietta 5.
henry C. Henry C. was my gr grandfather who was born 5/2/1830 in
Ripley County. Ripley County Court records have the estate settlement
for Samuel who died 11/4/1834. Eliza took her siblings & went back to
Ky. except for Samuel Jr. Did Samuel Jr. get married & stay in Ripley
County? Did Kitty die before Samuel? Where are Samuel Sr. & Kitty
buried?
I'm trying to trace this JONES line back to the ones who came to
America. I would like to hear from anyone who might be able to help in
my search.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Edwin L. Jones ejones1(a)indy.net
