I am hoping to find anyone researching members of this family unit in USor UK.
The following information was discovered on IGI Family Group Sheets submittedby an unknown
LDS person years ago.
THOMAS JONES (b 1787) + ELINOR HARRIS (b 1791) - born in Michaelchurch,Eskley, Hereford,
married 1809 Dorstone, Hereford
Known Children who were born/christened in Michaelchurch, Hereford areas follows:
Son WILLIAM (b 1813 christened 12 OCT 1817);
Dau SARAH (Christened 26OCT1819)
Son SEPTIMUS (Christened 24JUN1821)
Dau ELIZABETH (Christened 26JUN1825)
Known Children who were born/christened in Little Mill
Dau PHOEBE (Christened 02APR1826)
Dau Thomas (Christened 09MAR1828)
Dau MARY ANN (Christened 29OCT1831)
Thomas, Elinor and Mary Ann appear in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales 1851 UK Census
PHOEBE and her sister MARY ANN are the only of these JONES children known to have
emigrated to the US (Phoebe to Chicago, Mary Ann to Pittsburgh)
PHOEBE, my great-great-grandmother, named some of her children: Thomas,William, Sarah,
Elizabeth. (She married a THOMAS JONES in Monmouthshire, moved to Scotland to have her
older children, then to the US where she had her younger children. She lived most of her
life in Chicago IL USA; I've researched all of her children and discovered descendants
of some.)
MARY ANN married a English potter DEAKIN in Pittsburgh and lived mostly in Pittsburgh, PA
USA; I've researched some of her children but only uncovered a descendant of one for
sure, and possible a second.
What happened to Septimus, Elizabeth and Thomas Jr is unknown.
(Did they remain in England/Wales?. Did anymarry and have descendants? Did they
emigrate?)
Ralph from Chicago

days, so be patient if you don't get an immediate reply.
