Jones Family

Col. William Jones of Hertford Co, NC

Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Jones was born the youngest son of an aristocratic Northeastern North Carolina family. His father, William Jones, was a Colonel in the Hertford County, NC militia and served in the North Carolina House of Representatives from 1811 - 1816. Col. William Jones was the youngest son of James Jones, who served as a adjunct in the Hertford County militia during the Revolutionary War. (Descendants quality for membership in Daughters of the American Revolution based on James Jones' military service.) William Jones inherited the plantation next to the property inherited by his older brother, also named James Jones. They continued their life in the tradition of their father, who purchased the North Carolina property in the early 1700's. Aspects of their life have been well documented by the descendants who continued to live on the younger James Jones' land throughout the years. Following is an account of the 1803 marriage of Col. William Jones' niece:

From Moore's "History of North Carolina, p. 440: "....It was a grand affair in the estimation of the participants. Edenton and Norfolk assisted Murfreesboro in furnishing the viands and finery seen on the occasion. At nightfall of a beautiful day, cavalcades of visiting friends poured in from every side. Most of the guests came in their double gigs; General Wynns with his company in four. The house swarmed with visitors from Hertford and Bertie. The (servants) from Mr. Jones' different farms, well nigh all on hand showing the utmost alacrity in treating of vehicles and horses. The great fireplaces in the house blazed with warmth and welcome to the incoming guests. The gracious mistress of the mansion took charge of the ladies in one wing of the building while her courtly husband presided in another. Huge tubs of apple toddy ?? there and so enticing was the beverage that even Parson Wright did not disdain to test its qualities....The ...fiddlers had been discoursing loud if not eloquent music during the progress of the supper. At last came the opening of the ball. Mr. James Jones and his brother, Colonel William Jones, General Wynns and Mr. Robert Montgomery all participated in the opening minuet and then during the entire night with flying feet the revel rolled on. The young people danced and courted, but the more sedate of both sexes retired to different rooms and formed quiet parties of whist....."

Life in this area of North Carolina revolved around family and many ended up marrying some distant or close cousin. The families of Col. William Jones & his wife tie together in many ways. Sarah Eason's mother, Mary Walton, was the sister of Col. William Jones' sister-in-law, Ann Walton. Sarah Eason's sister Rachael married her 1st cousin, Jacob Garrett, the son of Rachael Walton. The relationships go on and on.

The area is very beautiful and the fields are still fertile in 2000. I feel a tremendous draw to the area and visit the site, 1 1/2 hours south of my home, as often as possible. The ruins of Col William Jones' plantation house still exist. Our North Carolina relatives remember the house well from their youth. Pictures are available for view at Sally's Family Place. It was a large 2 story house, which began as one wing. Another identical wing, which made the house then take the shape of an L, was added as the family grew larger. The house site sits on a grassy knoll overlooking gorgeous cotton fields, with woods to the rear. Woods also separate the plantation site from that of his brother James S. Jones. The family eventually grew to 13, 8 boys & 5 girls, before Colonel William Jones' death in 1828. Times were then changing in North Carolina. Col. William Jones' brother James had made some bad financial investments, lost much of his vast wealth, and soon thereafter died. James Jones' sons moved to Alabama and many of the area relatives were taking advantages of the North Carolina land grants in the newly opened lands of Tennessee. (North Carolina Revolutionary War veterans were given Tennessee land as their bounty for military service.) For whatever reason, the widow Sarah and her children decided to leave their ancestral North Carolina homeland and head to the frontier of Western Tennessee. Sarah buried Col. William Jones in an elaborate single tomb family cemetery. A tall wrought iron fence surrounded the single grave, a very large monument inscribed with Col. William Jones' family history, and a beautiful flowering bush. The tomb sat very near a curve in the road, which led to brother James Jones' plantation. Sarah then sold the plantation to the Sessoms family with their pledge to care for her deceased husband's grave. The entire family then moved to Haywood County, Tennessee.

Our North Carolina cousins, who grew up on the land next door, remember Col. William Jones' monument very well. Julia Moore remembers that she could stand on the base of the tombstone, wrap her arms around the obelisk that came from the top, and taunt her younger sister and friends, who were not allowed on the tombstone. Julia & Sally, her younger sister, both remember the flowering bush being one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. Neither know exactly when the tombstone & fence disappeared. Sally remembers the day she first noticed it was gone as being about the time her older brother was elected Chairman of the Hertford County, NC Republican Party. The County then paved the road and straightened the curve. Tenants who lived in a small house in the cotton field, remember seeing the county throw something large in the Sessoms family cemetery around that period of time. But a search of the Sessoms Cemetery, which is in a great state of disrepair and covered with a thick layer of vines and weeds, did not turn up a large tombstone. The size would have made it rather prohibitive to move. Another North Carolina cousin, in his mid-40's, doesn't remember the tombstone at all. Therefore the likely disappearance time could be estimated as mid-1950's to mid 1960's.

Today the house is gone; but clumps of brick and tin still exist, covered by thick layers of vine. One can imagine the house being there. The area has a very strong draw for me. The fields are meticulously farmed and there are posted signs which indicate a Hunting Club leases the wooded areas. The site is just south of the present town of Ahoskie, North Carolina, sitting only a few hundred yards inside Hertford County. Many family members, including the Eason's, lived in adjoining Bertie County.

What was probably the 2nd son, Dr. James Cherry Jones, may have been the first to move to Brownsville, TN. Long time Brownsville residents remember Dr. James Jones as a brilliant doctor but an alcoholic. He is found on Haywood County's 1st census, that of 1830. Based on the ages in his household, he probably had a number of his brothers living with his newly formed family. Sarah is not to be found on the 1830 census. By 1840 our immediate family has split, with most of our Frank Jones' siblings having married and formed their own households. By that year Frank's older brother Eason Jones had begun serving as Haywood Co, TN's sheriff and his other family members were prominent citizens of the young county. Sarah was living in the household of her son Jacob Jones, along with her youngest children, our Frank Jones & his 2 spinster sisters Eliza & Louvenia. Son Abner Jones moved to Alabama, not too far from the Greene Co, AL home of oldest daughter Nancy, who married her 1st cousin Dr. William Jones. Abner Jones also was a sheriff and a prominent politician in the Selma (Dallas Co), Alabama area. Two sons are unknown and must have died without having had children. One would have been the oldest son and probably died before the family left North Carolina. The rest of the children all lived and died in the Brownsville, TN area, except our Frank who eventually moved to White Co, AR.

Sarah Eason, widow of Col. William Jones, left a will in Brownsville, TN which details the children with the exception of the two unknown sons. Her children were: James, Willie, Eason, Abner, Jacob, Benjamin Franklin, Nancy, Mary, Sarah, Eliza & Louvenia. Oddly daughter Sarah married Henry A. Bass, the brother of Macklin Bass Johnson's grandmother Nancy W. Bass Hale. Therefore I can only speculate that the family may have been well acquainted long before Sarah Eason Jones & Macklin Bass Johnson courted and married in White Co, AR. One day I will uncover that secret.

How can we be sure there were two additional sons? There was a wonderful letter written by our Frank Jones' brother Abner Jones in 1886. He was ill and living in Autauga Co, AL at the time. He wrote the letter to his nephew Napoleon Bonaparte Jones of Greene Co, AL. Napoleon Bonaparte Jones was the son of Col. William Jones' oldest daughter Nancy and Col. William's brother, James Jones' son Dr. William Jones. Abner Jones, in his letter, is answering Napoleon's questions about the history of the family. He indicates that his father Col. William Jones & mother, Sarah Eason, had 13 children, 8 boys & 5 girls. A detailed check of the family's 1800-1820 Hertford Co, NC census records confirms this through the age groupings of the children. By the 1820 census the oldest son had disappeared. Abner Jones' 1886 letter indicates that he, Jacob, Eliza & Louvenia were the only ones still living. This confirms the diary of Mary Garland Johnson Swann (as transcribed for me by one of her descendants), which indicated that her grandfather Frank Jones died in her father's house July 1885. The 1880 White Co, AR census shows him living with the Macklin Bass Johnson family as early as that time.

Why did Frank & Mary Garland Goodwin Jones move to Arkansas? One can only assume that after the 1852 death of Frank's mother, he might have been looking for new, cheaper land to make another family fortune.

Letter from Abner Jones of Jones Switch, Autauga, AL, September 25, 1886, to Napoleon Bonaparte Jones.
Dear Nephew:
Your letter of inquiry received some days since, and in answer to the same, my recollection is that my Grandfather and his brother came to the U.S. from England or Wales. My grandfather, James Jones, settled in Hertford County, North Carolina and his brother Thomas W. Jones settled somewhere in Virginia. My grandfather had four children: James, your grandfather, and William, my father, and two daughters, Sally, who married a man named Raby, and Mary, who married one Thomas Wiggins. The families of Raby and Wiggins I know nothing of since I left North Carolina. Your grandfather, James Jones, married a Miss Walton, and had five or six children among whom was your father, William Jones, James S., and Thomas W. Jones and two or three daughters. My father, William Jones, married a Miss Sarah Eason, by whom he had thirteen children, eight sons and five daughters. After the death of my father, my mother and family moved from North Carolina to Tennessee and settled in Haywood County, where all that are now living reside except myself. Your mother was the second oldest child of the family, the balance of them all dead except Jacob, Eliza, and Lavenia. Your father's branch of the family, which was left in North Carolina, I know nothing about for a long series of years. If there is anything in the history of the family subsequent to the events that I have named that you wish to know, write me, and I will furnish it as far as I know. My family are all well except myself. I am afflicted very badly with abdominal hernia and diabetes that renders me unfit for any business. If your inquirities as to the history of our families are of any importance, you had best come and see me about it, or appoint a time and I will meet you in Selma. Kindest regards to your family.
Your affectionate Uncle,
Abner Jones
