January 16, 1826 in Putnam County, Georgia, d. March 1, 1912, i. with wife in Paris Cemetery, and whose parents, we think (proximity of grave-markers) were George (b. 1790, d.

Above progeny of Thomas and Martha Ashurst Jones has been fitted together cross-word-puzzlelike from deed-information compiled by Leslie Vernon Hagan, Jr. (unfortunately recently deceased), of Austerlitz, Kentucky, from cemetery gravestones, from newspaper clippings, from numerous Bible entries supplied by Mrs. William B. Ardery of Paris, Kentucky, and from vital records of our own gathering.
