Can't get the "shrink link" to work today!

Jon I can't understand the writing much, but it does seem to be you found a will of his. Very interesting. I have tried to zoom in and read what all of it says.

Hi Jon, yes it does too  baffled completely.

1880 also says John born Wales
Sharon, Mercer, Pennsylvania
John Jones 68 born Wales
Mary Jones Grand ch 8 Pennsylvania

It also says that Johns parents were both born in Wales.
It gives Mary's birth as PA but her father was born Wales and her mother bn PA

Sorry by Mary I meant the grandchild not Johns wife

I have seen many genealogical instances of UK  immigrants to the USA, who never had nor ever used a middle name in England yet suddenly sprouted one in the form of a middle initial in the USA. Often found to be the maiden name of a mother.

I saw the John Jones you mentioned in the place you mentioned in PA, as then discuused above.. wanted to clarify that.

As research Rootschat friends, we're concerned to establish you are tracing the right people.  Could I ask, who is the descendant of John and Mary - a child or grandchild perhaps, of whom you are 110% percent sure? Name, birth, married, locations?

Cheers

That doesn't help the rest of us that are trying to help you though unless you PM all of us.

Have found John, Mary and Susannah in 1870 in Sharon, Mercer, PA - transcribed on ancestry as 'Juers' rather than Jones.

This says that both John and Mary were born in Wales.   You refer to a record re. Mary that mentioned Bradshaw and Turner - what is this record please?   So birthplaces quoted for both re. Oswestry and Walesby are both clearly wrong.
