Message Board Post:
Greetings Welsh cousins! I am looking for information on the family of my great-great
grandfather, David Francis Jones who was reportedly born on May 2, 1842 in Towyn,
Merionethshire, Wales. All I know is that he emigrated to the United States and settled
in Bridgewater, New York (Oneida County) "at a young age". He worked as a farmer
all his life.
In addition to seeking some sort of documented reference of David Francis Jones's
birth, I am looking to know who his parents and/ or other family members were. I am not
yet familiar with the online databases that contain information from Wales during this
time period, but if anyone would like to recommend any good databases to search, I'd
appreciate it.
Interestingly, David's daughter, Anna A. Jones, was married to William Reese Pugh
(Pughe), 1868-1928, who also emigrated from Towyn in about 1887 (at age 19). I am
wondering if These Jones's and Pughes families knew each other in Wales or did they
meet in America.
Thanks,
Teri
