I have been told that my two male lines from my grandfather's was Scotch-Irish. I am trying to find their lines back to Northern Ireland.

I guess this is the right way to keep posting. Let me know if it is not?

I would also like more information on one of my English lines. I have traced my Jones line back to Richard Jones b. about 1608 and Anne Jefferies and the Manor of Ley, in Devonshire. I discovered most of my genealogy information online under my grandmother Anne Jeffries name.

I have not found anymore information on them in England. There was a bookstore owner in London named Richard Jones who invested with others in theater productions where Shakespeare put on his plays. I do not know if the Richard Jones is related to my Jones or is my Jones. I wonder if he is? Also, I read that Richard Jones' family did railroad work. I wonder if that is true and if that was my family occupation before coming to America?

Thanks Rabbit B. I don't see many researchers from the U.S. yet, so I wonder if I'm a lone searcher.

Not sure they are her family because of grandmother and grandfather's children's names.

W. H. (could have been Willis, but also could have been William-gg-grandfather Roland could have been William) b. 19 Jan. 1867. They say that normally the first son is named after the father's father. (d, 16 Mar. 1867)

James Jefferson (Jim) b. 17 Feb. 1868 d. 24 Oct. 1951

Susan Rosetta E. (called Susan, but my gg-grandmother on my father's side was Susan) b. 18 Apr. 1869 d. unknown

John Wesley b. 11 Feb. 1872 d. 23 Jul. 1938

George Washington b. 20 Feb. 1873 d. unknown

R. (probably Robert) Wiley b. 30 Jan. 1874 d. 15 Sept. 1881

Mary E. (Marietta) b. 20 Jun. 1876 d. 15 Jan. 1916

Tursie A. b. 13 Jan. 1878 d. 16 May 1936

Tillman b. 16 Aug. 1880 d. 15 Apr. 1888

Alex Z. b. 19 Sept. 1882 d. unknown

Thomas Emory (Tom) b. 20 Oct. 1884 d. 2 Mar. 1960

Indina b. 22 Jun. 1886 d. 22 Dec. 1886

D. Cora b. 15 Jul. 1888 d. unknown

I have most of the places of births and deaths on the children. Most or all, of the children were born in Hall County, Ga. My grandparents also lived in Walton County about 1900. Then they moved to Chambers County, Alabama and were supposed to have owned property there. My g-grandmother Mary Elizabeth Pursley (called
Betsy) had been living in Chambers Co. when she died in 1916. I also heard that she moved to north Georgia and died there. So, I am confused on that issue. She is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Lanett, Alabama.
