NOTE:  I know very little about the Jones family.  This info came from other websites/other people.  All I know is that my 3rd great grandmother was Sarah Bird Jones, who may or may not be Cherokee, married Isaac Jett and she is buried in the Howell Cemetery in Wills Point, Texas.  If you cannot trace your family to this webpage, I cannot help you.  I will be happy to update this webpage with your information - Paul Ridenour

Jeremiah Jones born ca. 1770 and died ca. 1861. His estate was settled in Blount County, Alabama. Jeremiah married Eliza Brown born ca. 1778 (5th great grandparents), daughter of William Brown and Sarah Elizabeth Barton. (Information about the Brown family from DAR files)

Children of Jeremiah Jones and Eliza Brown: (not necessarily in birth order) (Children's names from court records of estate settlement.)

I. Michael S. Jones ca. 1790 married ?
II. James Jones born 1796 married Jane (?Baker) born in 1802. (There is a James Jones marriage to Jane Baker 12 September 1821 in Morgan County, Alabama.) James Jones was dead by the final estate settlement in 1864.(Information from 1850 Blount County, Al, census and the court records of estate settlement of Jeremiah Jones.)(4th great grandparents)
Children of James and Jane:

1) Jesse S. Jones born 1832
2) J. F. Marion Jones born 1834
3) Thomas J. L. Jones born 1838
4) Jeremiah L. P. Jones (8/28/1837 - 10/9 or 19/1890) (Co. C. 1 Reg. Of Alabama Calvary, Civil War - He hid out under bluffs to escape service in the Civil War) married #1 Amanda Filylend Speegle (12/26/1834 -5/30/1887) married #2 Bettie Ann Speegle (5/25/1864 - 6/24/1891) Children: Jeremiah L. Jones (2/18/1891 - 6/19/1891). Jeremiah L. P. Jones is buried in Brushy Creek Cemetery in Cullman Co., AL
5) Sarah Bird Jones born 19 February 1826 married Isaac Jett (my 3rd great grandparents and parents of Mary Susan (Jett) Joines (See JOINES) (my 2nd great grandparents)

Note: On 12/30/2002,  I received an email from Will Brown's son Robert Brown who said that his father told him that Sarah Bird Jones was a full-blood Cherokee and was on the Trail of Tears.  I also received an email from Jim Jett who also said his father and many Jett relatives said that Sarah Bird (Jones) Jett was a full-blood Cherokee.  There is a Bird Jones and Sarah Jones on the Dawes/Miller Rolls.  One huge problem, Sarah Bird (Jones) Jett was born and lived in Alabama, which means she would not have been on the Trail of Tears.

Also in this household, was a girl from the poor house - Susan Barber Nelson - 1834

Sarah Bird (Jones) Jett

Sarah Bird (Jones) Jett

Sarah Bird (Jones) Jett (sitting in the middle) with Susan (Jett) and Seaton Joines. Behind them are Henry and Rosie (with baby) (Joines) Haptonstall. Next to Rosie (Joines) are sisters Ura, Bertia, and May Joines. The rest of the people are Haptonstalls. However, some family members have told me that Henry Haptonstall had the only camera and he probably took this picture. The family does not have very many pictures of Henry since he took most of them. Therefore, the man in the back with the mustache may not be Henry. In fact, he looks more like my great grandfather Clint Joines.
