JONES

I am seeking information on Elias JONES, born in North Carolina. There is an Elias JONES listed in the 1850 Bedford County Census. His son, James Alexander, born June 21, 1840, Marshall County, Tennessee was my great grandfather. Elias may have also lived in Marshall County. Elias was listed to be 52 years of age in 1850 and James A. 8 years. James was actually 10 at the time. I have more information and will share if the right Elias is found.
