John Jones Sr. Family=1794-1876
Not
very much is know of John and his family. Some descendants into the 1900s are
known. Most of what is known of the family comes from census records, lettrs and
notes from a few John Jones descendants (Some of these are maintained by descendants
of Isaiah Jones) and other miscellaneous records.John appears to have been in
Lee County, Virginia before the 1820 census, but probably didn't marry until sometime
around 1830. Tax records indicate that he had left home by 1811.The family was
very active in the Civil War with all five boys of John and Lavina seeing extensive
action.John was lissted as a farmer in the 1850 census. At this time the family
had a single mother and son living with them. The single mother's name was Emarantha
Wampler, age 27 and her son, Alfred F., age 5.The ages of the children are based
on the 1850 cebnsus records.In 1870, Russell and his family were living with John
and Lavina. In 1880, Lavina was living alone next door to her son, William and
his family. John's farm was supposedly not far from the farm of his brother, Isaiah.William
Jones was listed as being sick at White Sulphur Springs during the Civil War on
October 1, 1861. John Jones Jr. was disciplined for some unknown reason on August
21, 1861. They were both in Co. H, 50th Regiment, Virginia Infantry.
