My mistake. I know we had talked some months back about the half dozen names and I remembered Corn as one of them, though I see now it was later discounted in the conversation. I also remembered you saying that the Jeffries name was not one of those few directly referred to as Saponi. Those were the conversations I was referring to.
Bill Childs>> F.Y.I., Stacey, there is a “J. Jones”, F.P.C., on the 1840 Greene Co., Oh census for Xenia Twp., pg. 267 (image 57 of ancestry.com’s census online), but he doesn’t appear to be old enough for Harvey’s father. In your search for Harvey & Martha’s parents, I wouldn’t rule out their origins as just across the border in NC, or moving back and forth between NC & Va.
I have found possible parents for my Harvey Jones in Burwell/Burrell/Burl Jones and Lydia/Letta/Lettie Unknown. Their family were the only mulatto Joneses (besides Harvey’s family) born in Virginia listed in the 1850 Greene County census. In 1840, they lived in Greene County, but were listed as white. In 1830, Burwell and his family were living in Sussex County, Virginia and were all listed as F.P.C. Sussex County is only about 20 miles from Petersburg, Virginia, which is where Harvey’s death record said he was born. According to census records, Burwell and Letta had at least ten children: Daughter#1 (born 1806 – 1820), Son#1 (born 1806 – 1820), Daughter#2 (born 1820 -1830), Daughter#3 (born 1820 -1830), Son#2 (born 1820 – 1830), Parthena (born abt. 1823), George W. (born 1828), Wesley W. (born abt. 1831), Tamlin (born abt. 1834), and Mary (born abt. 1836).
Harvey (born 1812) fits the age of “Son#1” born between 1806 and 1820.
There was a Bloxsom Jones that married Mary Jane Studevant 1843 in Greene County, Ohio. Bloxsom (born abt. 1822) fits the age of “Son#2” born between 1820 and 1830.
I also think that the Eliza Studevant that married William “Riley” Jeffries in 1851 in Greene County, Ohio could have been from this Jones family and a widow of Winfield Studevant. Winfield died between 1842 – 1850. That would make Winfield a brother-in-law to Harvey and could that be the reason he proved the age(s) on Harvey and Martha’s marriage record. Am I way of base here? Is anybody researching this particular Jeffries family?
I am fairly familiar with Indiana and Ohio records that are available, but I am new to looking up Virginia items. Where (besides tax lists – I am trying to get some through inter-library loan) would be a good place to start looking? I am looking mainly for Petersburg, Greensville, and Sussex areas. I thought that I read some where that quite a bit of the records in these areas were burned.
