Hi Linda,

Sorry to get back to you so late. We have two sons (with another one on the way any day now) and all four of us play some form of ball from April through the end of October. With work, the two of them in school now, and everything else going on, we aren’t home very much, so I haven’t had much of a chance to do genealogy lately, but I still try to read on here every now and then and happen to see your post.

I went back through your other posts and emails that you sent me and I don’t see our Jones lines connecting. The Jones surname is very common and widespread. Unless it would be prior to 1812 when my 3GGrandfather, Harvey Jones, was born, in that case, he is my brick wall and I haven’t been able to get further back than that. My line went from Dinwiddie/Greensville Counties in Virginia to Greene County, Ohio (around the late 1830’s).

Also, and I apologize in advance as this may be pregnancy hormones talking, but please don’t say that “I have in the past sent her mail through this forum and I have never had a reply.” I did respond to one of your private messages back on 5-2-06 at 1:04PM. I still have it saved it you need me to re-send it to you.

You had also asked me about the Miami in the Joneses. I can tell you that oral histories from my relatives in Ohio were told Cherokee. I don’t believe this to be correct because of the area of Virginia (VA/NC border) my Joneses were from and the other families that they lived near, which is also how I came to the Saponi forum. Cherokee just seemed to be “safe” and most prevalent one to pass on. In regards to the Miami, my great-aunt is the one that told the family this. Her mom was a Jones, but died when my grandma was only 6 years-old. Since my grandma was so young when her mother died she didn’t get a chance to ask many questions about her side of the family and had to rely on what my aunt (her sister, who was 22 at the time) told her. I don’t believe the Miami to be correct either. I think my aunt said this just to appease the ones that were asking because the Miami were local to our area. She was born in Ohio, but didn’t come to Indiana until around 1903. My family settled 20 – 25 miles south of Peru, which is where the Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana (see http://www.miamiindians.org) are located.

For Miami records, I don’t know what or if anything exists, but you might try some of these links…

Thanks Linda. It’s a boy. Had him on Tuesday. There is a temporary picture of him on the hospitals website. You can’t tell with his hat on, but he has lots of black hair. 🙂
