Hello Everyone!
It would be a joy to connect with anyone who is currently doing research
on any of the following family lines:
Rees JONES ( born 1798 or 1794 in or around Swansea) and his wife Mary
DEER (born 1798 in or around
Swansea). They had 8 children all born in or around Swansea: William
R. Jones (1822- 1895), Aynon R. Jones (1825 -
1889), David R. Jones (1827-1888), Catherine, Hannah, Jennett/Janet,
John, Thomas. About 1851 the family emigrated
to America, stopping briefly in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and then made
their final home in Alton, Madison County, Illinois.
Rees & Mary Jones, David & Gwennefred (nee Jenkins), William & Ann (nee
???), Catherine & Thomas Solomon are all
buried in Godfrey, Madison County, Illinois. I have reason to believe
that Mary DEER might have been the oldest
daughter of Enyon/Eynon DEER & Catherine MORGAN.
