BLOUNT - (African-American) Help will be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have so far. I am looking for information on Ida Blount born in 1874 from Clinton, Jones County, Georgia. Her grandfather is Hilliard Blount born around 1835. Information on either of these individuals would be great. Who is Ida's parents (mom & dad). Here is some of the information I found so far.
1870 Census - Whites, Jones, GA (this is
the Clinton area)
Hilliard Blount is married to Eliza Blount
children listed - Thomas, Georgia, Mary,
Nancy, Henry, James, Willie
-----------
1880 Census - District 299, Jones, GA
Hilliard Blount is married to Eliza Blount
children listed - Nancy, Jim, Willie
grandkids listed - Ida, Mathis, Ebby (this
is the Ida that Im seeking)
-------------
1900 Census - Clinton, Jones, GA
Hilliard is widowed and boarding with a
family named John Smith
----------
1910 Census - Clinton, Jones, GA
Hilliard Blount is widowed and still boarding
with a family named John Smith
Ida (his grandaughter) lived a couple of
houses away
-----------
1910 Census - Clinton, Jones, GA
Ida Blount born 1875
children listed - Bessie, Willie May, &
Sonny Boy
(lived a couple of houses away from Hilliard)
-------
I would like to mention that three of Hilliard's
other kids named their daughter Ida also but these are not the Ida that
Im looking for.
This is what makes it so confusing.
Thomas Blount married Charity and had daughter
Ida born 1899
James Blount married Jennie and had daughter
Ida born 1893
Willie Blount married Clarisy and had daughter
Ida born 1900
All in all, Hilliard had 4 granddaughters named Ida. The Ida that I'm looking for is the oldest born in 1874. This is my great grandmother. I don't know who her parents were. Which of Hilliard's kids? This would answer a lot of questions. And also, who fathered Ida's kids - Willie May, Bessie, & Sonny Boy?
I know this is a lot of info. I have
been researching this for about 3 years now. Any help in this is
greatly appreciated.

BOLTON - William wife Mary Ann Dixon I am searching for information regarding William and his son, Matthew Harrison BOLTON who lived in the area in the late 1700's to early 1800's. I am putting a family book together and would love to have any little pieces of info. If anyone has any knowledge of the BOLTON's or could direct me to a source, I would be forever grateful.

BRADDY/HARRISON - Many of the Braddy family ancestors lived in Jones County, Georgia from the early 1800's until some moved into adjacent Jasper Co. in the mid-1870's. The Sardis Methodist Episcopal Church records, the U.S. Census and Ancestry.com provided a lot of help in finding some excellent information but there are still plenty of gaps. I am researching Eli Braddy (B:1818), who married Elizabeth Jane Fennel in 1839 and later, married Sarah Jane Harrison (B:1842) in 1867. I believe that Eli Braddy and Sarah J. were the parents of William E. Braddy, my great grandfather. When Eli died abt 1874, church records indicate that Sarah and her family left the church and apparently Jones County. Infomation or direction to more sources would be most appreciated for William E. Braddy (sometimes spelled Brady) Sarah Jane Harrison Braddy, and Eli Braddy of Jones County. Since I plan to visit Jones County within the next six months, coming from Nebraska, would the Jones County Courthouse be recommended as a good source for research? Larry Braddy 07/14/2010
BULLINGTON - I am searching for any information from an obituary for Richard H. Bullington. Buried in the Bullington Family Cemetery 1898. He had at least seven children and I am trying to find all their names. Please help if you can!! Ann Bullington 9/26/2010.. /3-14-2012 - Thank You!!

What an awesome and interesting search, and if only I had the 1890 census I could have done so much more!! Ann.
BULLINGTON - I am looking for the parents of my great grand father Homer Johnson Bullington Sr. He was Born Dec 30 1893 in Haddock GA, Jones Co. I do not know when or why he left Jones Co. but he eventually settled in Baltimore Maryland by 1924 (birth year of my grandfather) and was a firefighter for the city of Baltimore. I have interviewed my grandfather Homer Jr and he could not tell me about his grand parents on his fathers side. Please help me if you can. My web research so far has turned up some possible relations but can not be confirmed: Brothers Claude, Sam and Vernor. Father: Joseph or Richard Bullington Mother: Alice Lane. Thank you. Allan Bullington 6/20/2010
BURNETT- I’m looking for the parents and family of Washington Burnett born in 1808 or 1807 in Jones County. He received Indian lottery land in what is now Taylor County, GA in 1827; married Elizabeth Carmichael in 1838 (?); later married Palatiah Jordan in the 1840’s and had James and Marium before moving to Taylor County.
It appears that a John Burnett and Mariun Burnett appear on the 1816 tax list. They could be his parents. Also, “probably” Susan Burnett Bryant was in Jones County about the same time Washington was and also moved to Taylor county and married a Bryant. Her death records indicate her parents were from South Carolina. If Susan is the sister of Washington, then his parents are from South Carolina.
I would appreciate any help on this as possible. Len Moore 3/13/2010
CARY, John Adam - I'm looking for any available information for JOHN ADAM CARY. I think he is misidentified in one of the histories of Jones County as John CASEY.

Also, his wife is my other brick wall. Her name was Francis A. Stewart Marshall. They married in Jan 1823 in Jones County, GA. Their daughter Margaret Louisa Marshall was born in Jones County, GA in 1824. There may also have been a boy and girl born in Jones County, GA.
My problem is: I do not have parents for either one of these people. If anyone has a clue, please let me know. Mary 5/13/2009
MESSER - Noah Messer - I have a copy of his will which does not mention his wife's name but find a will for Sarah Messer that mention's the children so I assume that Noah's wife was Sarah. What was her maiden name and any other info on this couple who is my maternal grandfather's mother's grandparents. Elizabeth Messina 4/6/2012
MITCHELL - Warren Anderson Mitchell of Jones County, Georgia, is my maternal great, great grandfather. He is my brick wall as far as his regiment and company during the Civil War. He is a descendant of Henry Mitchell, RS, and Sarah Maderis Mitchell (there are variant spellings of Sarah's maiden name) of Jones County, Georgia. According to the Confederate Widow's Pension of Warren's spouse, Lucinda Christian Mitchell, Warren Anderson Mitchell was with Georgia troops at Camp Watts, near Notasulga, Alabama. Camp Watts was also called Camp Number One of Instruction. He died of pneumonia on November 20, 1862, while on duty in the recruiting office at Camp Watts. He was returned to his old home in Jones County, Georgia, and buried there. Some of the information in this pension was given to my grand aunt in a handwritten letter by Mrs. Lillian Henderson. Any Georgia troop information about regiment and company? Terri A. Hastings 5/18/2009
MITCHELL, James – I have been searching for my ancestor, James Mitchell (possibly J.W. Mitchell) in Jones County for some time. He appears in the Hancock County 1820 Census, and in 1826 his daughter’s wedding announcement is made in Jones County. I can only conclude that the family moved from Hancock to Jones between 1820 and 1826. He may appear in the 1827 Jones County Georgia Land Lottery and the 1833 Jones County Gold Lottery. He married Elizabeth Jordan in 1798 in Oglethrope County. Any information about him or his daughter Sarah T. Mitchell who married Swepson Taylor and died in Clinton in 1830 would be much appreciated by many of his descendents.

PRICE, Whitmore. - The earliest documentary proof of him is his marriage to Sarah SPURLIN 10 Dec 1818 (Georgia Marriages Index) followed by the 1820 census (Weetamore Price - Corrected on Ancestry.com to Whitmore) with wife and son. There is no known census information on them for the 1830 census anywhere and they are in Lawrenceville, Henry County, Alabama on the 1840 census. There is a Richard PRICE shown on the 1830 Jones County census - relationship unknown.
There is a possibility that Whitmore is related to Irvin PRICE; b: abt 1800, who marries Susannah SPURLIN 1826 in this county and is found in Henry County, Alabama next door to Whitmore later. Irvin/Ervin is noted on the 1830 Houston County census with wife and two children and it is believed he may have been born in this area, which was Indian Territory at the time, but may be part of the Twiggs County family. Additionally, there is a Thomas Price listed on the 1830 Houston County census who is also recently married with wife and two children who is also suspected as being a relative of both these men.
I have posted similar information on both the Twiggs and Houston county sites.
My connection with Whitmore is through my paternal grandmother, Norma Ethel PRICE, who was born in Henry County, Alabama and is where she and my grandfather were married. William G. Bates. 9/4/2011
SMITH - I'm looking for info on my gr gr gr grandfather, Joseph Smith's family. Joseph's name could possibly be Samuel Joseph Smith, as a son of his, Joseph C. Smith, has father's name listed on his death certificate as Sam Smith instead of Joseph Smith. He left Jones Co., Ga. and went to Harris Co., GA. and then to Macon Co., Al. and Tallapoosa Co., Al. He married a Ann W. ? I'm assuming in Jones Co., Ga. since he was living there and there oldest daughter was born there. I found a WILL for a Samuel Smith who had a son named Samuel Smith and a grandson named Samuel Smith. The grandson could possibly be my Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith br. bet 1800-1810 and at one time owned slaves. In this Samuel Smith's WILL, he owned slaves too. Mother listed on the will as "Elizabeth." Joseph Smith is on the 1830 and 1840 Census for Harris Co., Ga. Just trying to find which Smiths of Jones Co., GA. are related to my Joseph Smith or Samuel Joseph Smith. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank You, Wanda Yates 9/2/2010
STALLWORTH – I am searching for information on parents or siblings of George Joseph Stallworth, born abt 1846 in Georgia and he was a mulatto. I found a male child listed on the 1850 Slave Census that fits the description owned by Joseph Stallworth, in Jones County, Georgia. George Joseph Stallworth relocated to Alabama and eventually moved to Mississippi. His wife’s name was Lydia and their children were Joseph, Luddie, Mattie, Lucille, and Roxie. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Shirley 5/20/2012

WHEELER - I am searching for information on parents or siblings of Allen Obediah Wheeler, born 1807 in Putnam County. He lived most of his life in Jones County, but so many connected branches of the family tree are centered in Milledgeville, I feel there must be some Wheelers there who are closely related.
Family lore has it that we are kin to General Joseph Wheeler. From his picture and a picture of my great-grandfather, there HAS to be a connection. Tracy Spencer 6/16/2010
WILLIAMSON - Looking for information about J M Williamson. He was born Feb 22, 188(6?) and died Nov 11, 1912. He is buried in T J Mitchell Cemetery. Louise Hendrix 4/16/2011

WILLIAMSON - Would like to have information on my grandfather William Green Williamson. Louise Hendrix 12/7/2010
WILLIS - looking for information on my ancestor, Joel Willis, Sr. He migrated from Craven County, NC to Jones County. He passed away in Jones in 1822. I found some information on him on the listing of Churches on this site. He was a member of the presbytery of the Caney Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Jones County in 1813. I am wondering if one of the unmarked graves in that cemetery belongs to him. His wife was Sarah Gwaltney Willis. Since Joel fought in the Revolutionary War, she was eligible to participate in the land lottery. I think it was the one in 1827. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Kathie Willis Martin 12/27/2011
