You can pm me if you like. I don't live far from there now and have to do a kid switch every so often. The ex lives in Louisville and I still have friends there. Link to comment
Snowmom Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 and Lori, we have spring here now. What I'm looking for is information on the Jones family. Yes, I did say Jones. I am wondering if you could find anything on a Horace Lee Jones. I can PM you with more information too, I do for your offer. I think it would be great if anyone who is willing to help with finding genealogy for someone would also post in here. Again, Spring is here. Link to comment
Nett Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Horace Lee Jones? I know a Jones. She was a grade behind me in school. Her father died in the past 5 years or so. PM me more info and I can see what I can do. Link to comment

Snowmom Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 , I was the one who put in that on the Jones family with Horace and Thomas Benton. But, what I'm looking for is on his parents and other relatives. You see, he and 3 brothers tried to swim the Ohio River and we don't know who the brothers were or anything more about them. We have the information on Horace and Thomas Benton, I don't know who Charles Minor was, but maybe related to Horace. So, I'm trying to find the parents of Horace. We do know there was an uncle who had owned slaves too, and we don't know his name. We don't know if this was on the Jones side or the mothers side. all for looking. Link to comment
Snowmom Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Once again, you are something else. Again, if anyone else is willing to do some leg work for anyone, please let us know here. Link to comment

Snowmom Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 As far as we know only one drowned, and the others made it, but they must have each gone their own way. Link to comment
Nett Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Sorry was unable to locate anything. Link to comment
Snowmom Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 for trying. I'm just thinking this will be a loss cause. Or, it will take a lot more time to find the answers. again. Link to comment
Karen Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Ok ladies, I need something to help fill my hours of the day. I'm not being allowed to work and a lot of chores needing to be done I'm physically unable to do. I live in S.C. if anyone needs me to look up info. I live in the middle of a wagon wheel of towns. To the north is Spartanburg- they have a Big geneology room at their main library, the courthouse has weddings, wills and probate back to 1910. To the east is Union, great courthouse, newspaper office will let me dig in their microfil collection back to 1900. To the south west is Laurens, great library room(has a book with a list of ALL soldiers who ever served in a war for the USA), marriage licenses are easy access also(got my in-laws marriage licsence(SP) and paperwork they filled out to apply!) In a pinch will be willing to drive 90 miles north east to Charlotte, NC because I need to go do some searching for me too. One of these days I'm going to drive to the state capitol in Columbia and get a motel room and spend a day or two in the main archives. Link to comment
rootdiggr Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Karen (and anybody else interested). If you have some spare time, there is a great indexing project going on that needs volunteers. I have been putting in about 1 hour a day indexing the 1900 Missouri census. You can work at your own speed, and on your schedule. And since this is an LDS project, the results will be available at no charge to the public. So you are helping who knows how many in the future. Go to the link below to register. http://www.familysearchindexing.org/en/index.jsp Link to comment
Snowmom Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Karen and Rootdiggr. These are things that some could do if they had the time. Right now this month is full and I won't even be in here as much as I have been. With the grandsons here and our DD and more grandkids coming soon. again. Link to comment
rootdiggr Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Snowmom, Absolutly, not everybody has the same time to do everything that they would like to. My involuntary unemployment has allowed me the time to do things that I have wanted to for some time. I remember years ago being able to put 40-50 hours a week into special genealogy projects, such as a family history for a family reunion. Of course, since I started working outside the home full time, I have been lucky to find the odd hour here and there to do some research. So I am going to enjoy this time while I have it, knowing that it will not last. Enjoy the time with the grandchildren! These opportunities will never happen again. Link to comment
Becca_Anne Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Snowmom you know there has to be a connection between us. Since my line has a Frank Benton Jones, descended from Charles Minor Jones Amazing!! I can't get the Mrs S link to load. It is possible some of my info could help you, if it wasn't already linked in the previous post I can't open LOL. http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op...280&ti=5519 Link to comment
