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

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)
James was also a private in the War of

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.

Joines on right. 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.
