Feb. 1797. The land was located on the southside of "West Poverty",
and on the northside of Sheeppen Branch. Thomas made his will on 2 Nov. 1798,
and names his wife, Mary Jones; sons, Isaac & Purnel Jones; daughters,
Elizabeth, Naomi, Nancy, & Hannah Jones. He named as executor his wife, Mary
Jones, and witnessess to the will were Wingate Jones, Scarb [Scarborough] Jones,

and Mary, his wife late Mary Jones.102 Mary may have been a Short as Isaac and
Purnel were names used in the Short family.103 The estate records also show that

13. Ebenezer5 Jones,
(Thomas4, Ebenezer3,
Thomas2, William A-1), b 3 Jan 1745/46 Worcester Co., MD; d 26 Dec
1796 Blount Co., TN. Ann Rogers b ca 1748/49 Worcester Co., MD d ca 1803/4
Blount Co., TN dau of John Rogers and Comfort Prettyman. Ebenezer was baptised
at St. Georges's Protestant Episcopal Church which on the church records is
listed Ebenezer of Thomas Jones b. Jan 3, 1746/47. The next record of Ebenezer
is also in the St. George Chruch records which lists his son's birth and baptism
as Prettyman son of Ebenezer and Ann Jones b. Feb 22, 1772 and baptised Dec 6,
1772.
On Mar 16, 1776 Ebenezer was granted 100 acres of land on the north side of Sheeppen Branch in Sussex County, PA (DE). The 100 acres was call "Jones First Choice", and adjoined a tract of land he lived on. On Jan 19 1780 Ebenezer purchased for 30 pound 70 acres from Robert Ingram, and Jan 20, 1780 he purchased 76 acres of "Good Hope" from his father for 50 pounds.
It is apparent that Ebenezer and his family moved from Sussex County prior to 1784 as his daughter, Comfort, was married at her fathers house in Augusta Co., VA in 1784 On Feb 4 1786 Ebenezer of Sussex, DE, Planter, sold to John Darby 76 acres of land call "Good Hope" and 100 acres of "Jones First Choice" on the north side of Sheeppen Branch for 200 pounds. Also on the same day Ebenezer and Ann his wife sold to John Darby for 50 pounds the 70 acres he had purchased from Robert Ingram. Another indication that he moved in 1786 is that he is on the 1784 and 1785 Tax lists of Dasborough Hd, Sussex Co, but he is not on the 1787 Tax List which is the next surviving list.
We do not know why Ebenezer moved from Sussex County,. but it is only reasonable to assume that he moved to acquire better land and to improved his family's economic conditions. One writer wrote that, "most Delawareans felt that the end of the Revolutionary War with Great Britian would bring prosperity. Instead they encountered frustarations, disappointments, and hardships. Paper money declined in value in relation to specie until 1785, when the state called in the paper money issued in the past and redeemed it at the rate of seventy-five to one in new bills. Clashes between political parties intensified, resulting in both verbal and physical abuse."
Between 1786 and 1796 the only references to Ebenezer are found in August
Co., VA. At this period of time the classic migration pattern from Delaware to
the present states of GA, KY, North &South Carolina, and TN was to go north
to Pennsylvania and 
down the Valley of VA. Augusta Co. is in the Valley of VA
and would have been a logical stopping place on the way South. Ebenezer is found
on the 1787 Tax list in Augusta Co. VA with no white males between ages of
16-21, two horses, and two cattle. His listed on Jan 21 1789 List of Insolvent
for Taxes of 1787 as Ebinezer Jones gone to Kentucky and owning two horses. Also
on this list were Jobe Ingram, Samuel Gillaspy, Henry Null, and Abraham Ingram.
He is also on the Mar 18 1790 Insolvents list for 1788, and is listed as
Ebenezer Jones moved to Carolinana with 1 slave and 7 horses. Other names on the
list were Abram, Job, and Uriah Ingram.
Ebenezer moved from Augusta County, Virginia, and we next find
him in North Carolina. Comfort Jones Harvey states she lived in Surry and Stokes
Co., NC in 1785 to 1790. Stokes County was formed from Surry County in 1789, and
Ebenezer probably lived in that part of Surry that became Stokes. Ebenezer is
listed in the 1790 tax list of Stokes County, NC as Ebenezer James with one
black poll in Captain Shous District. Also in this district was John Harvey.
Elizabeth Cast Jones states that she first met her
husband, Ebenezer, and his
family including John Harvey and Comfort when she was about nine years old which
would be in 1790 that Jones family moved to Iredell County. When she was fifteen
(1796) the Jones and Harvey families moved to Blount County, Tennesssee. It
certainly appears that Ebenezer had lived in Surry County. As on Friday 16th
____ 1792 in Surry County; he was a witness for John Thos Longino in the suit of
Matthew Brooks, and proved he traveled 40 miles and one day. Again on Thursday
14th Aug 1794; he was witness for Longino, and proved 80 miles and
four days. He was witness again for Longino on Wednesday 12 November 1794, and
proved 40 miles and one day. At that time the southern border of Surry County
was also the northern border of Iredell County. From the deeds it is apparent
that Ebenezer lived in the northern part of Iredell County. On 9 July 1794 in
Iredell County; Ebinezer gives to Pretteman Jones one negro man, James 33 years
of age and rest of movable estate as horse, cattle and other livestock.11a
Witnesses to this deed were James Campbell, James Rily and Richard Cast. Then on
9 August 1794 Ebinezer Jones gives to Prateman Jones and Ebinezer Jones, Jr 200
acres of land on fork of Hunting Creek adjoining John Little, James Riley and
Thomas Young.11b Witness to the deed was Elisha Cast. Then
on 23 September 1794 William Young deeded to Prettyman Jones for 120 pounds 300
acres of land on south side of Hunting Creek adjoining Creek Martin & Butter’s
line. Witness to the deed were Andrew Carson and James McCord.
In the Blount County,TN Court Minutes we see an inquest was held about the
death of Ebenezer Jones. He was found dead on Dec 26, 1796, and having with him.
a gun and an ax. He died having a claim of 320 acres of land, a house, six head
of cattle, and other property. It is probable that Ebenezer and his family moved
to Tennessee for land. At the Treaty of Dumplin Creek in 1785
the
Cherokee's agreed that the boundary between the Whites and the Indians would be
the ridge dividing the water of Little River and the Tennessee River, and agreed
to the cession of all the lands south of the French Broad and Holston Rivers,
east of that ridge. The Dumplin Creek Treaty along with the great land grab of
the 1780's by North Carolina's Legislators combined to open large areas of good
rich land at very cheap prices to settlers. This opportunity for cheap land was
a magnet drawing people into the area that would later be Tennessee. It was
especially easy for settlers to move by way of the valley system that extended
from Pennsylvania through Virginia into present day Tennessee. This was a much
easier and more natural route into Tennessee that crossing the mountains while
traveling from East to West. Blount Co. TN was at this time still a frontier
area. Peace with the neighboring Indians was achieved only a few months before
Tennessee achieved statehood in 1796. Consistent with the frontier conditions is
that homes in the area were of log construction, and that our Joneses were
farmers.
Ann left few records. There were many possibilities for her surname including Ingram and Prettyman. The conclusion is Rogers. John Rogers in his will of Oct 6, 1794 mentions "my well beloved children that are married and left me heare after mentioned I gave and bequeathe Eatch of them one shilling sterling and no more that is to say Ann Jones & Comfort Fisher& Rachel Warren & Polla Marvel, Thomas Rodney, and William Rodney. The witnesses to the will were David Marvel, Thomas Rodney, and William Rodney. The were all neighbors of John Rogers and the Joneses. There was one farm between John Rogers and the Joneses, and it is only logical in that period of time that Ebenezer would marry the daughter of a neighbor. Another point indicating Ann was the daughter of John Rogers is that two of her sons named their first born sons John R. Jones. This is even more important when we consider that three other daughters of John Rodgers named sons John. Orpha Marvel names a son, John Rogers Marvel; Leah Marvel had a son, John R. Marvel; and Levina marvel named her first child, John Marvel.
There is another mention of Ann Jones in the records. On April 26, 1798
"Annis Joans and part of her family" was issued a passport "to
pass and Repass unmolested to her former place of Residence over the Indian Line
on Purpose of Taking away her Stock and taking care of the Grain now a Growing
on Said place." We believe this is a misspelling of her name because as we
later see her sons, Ebenezer, Prettyman and Zachariah, also had been removed
from Indian lands. Children of Ebenezer Jones and Ann Rogers:

1796. Daughter, Anna, married in 1812 in Blount Co., TN, then moved to forks of
Cumberland (present day ?Celina, TN then in Jackson Co., TN for six years.
Anna then moved to Wayne Co., KY for ten years, and then moved to Montgomery
Co., IN. Comfort in 1848 had lived with Anna for 20 years. She had son, two
brothers and sister in Tennessee. A. M. Crane found that one brother died of
Cholera before 1832 and the sister had moved to Texas and not heard from again.
On 11 Oct 1849 Comfort was moving to Jackson Co., TN. In When she applied for
penion in 1848 she was living in Crawfordville, Montgomery Co., IN.

Prettyman is the only Prettyman Jones found in the Sussex Co., DE records. He is
the only Prettyman Jones found in any record before 1820. Revolutionary War
Pension application of Comfort Jones Harvey. She was living in Augusta Co., VA
when she married. Ebenezer Jones, White Co., TN gave affidavit that he was
present at marriage at home of her father Ebenezer Jones
and that he was her younger brother. Ebenezer Jones Sr deeded land to Prettyman
Jones and Ebenezer Jones, Jr. Ebenezer Sr also deeded to
Prettyman a slave and livestock. Ebenezer Jones, Jr is found in Blount Co., TN
records, sold land in Blount Co while living in White Co., TN, and in 1850
census of White Co listed his state of birth as DE. Ebenezer, Jr signed as
witness deed of land from Prettyman to Zachariah Jones, and Ebenezer had
Prettyman's power of attorney in Blount Co. Ebenezer, Prettyman, and Zachariah
all living on Indian lands in Blount Co., TN as was their mother, Ann. Prettyman
and Zachariah stole horses together. Prettyman granted land in Buffalo Valley on
which Zachariah had made an improvement. James R. Jones is on 1815 Tax List of
White Co. in Zachariah Jones' Militia Company, and was a survey chain carrier
for Zachariah in 1815. On Prettyman's two surveys in White Co., TN; Thomas was
chain carrier on one, and Zachariah on the other. Ebenezer, Prettyman, and
Zachariah all had sons named James and two of them were James R's. James R.
Jones married in Greene Co., GA where his Jones, Knowles and Marvel cousins
lived. Thomas traveled to Jackson Co. to join the same War of 1812 Militia
Company as Prettyman. Purchasers at Zachariah's estate sale were sons and
sons-in-law of Prettyman who traveled the long and difficult distance from
Buffalo Valley for the sale. Thomas had a grandson, Prettyman Jones, and I
believe he also had a son Prettyman. The naming patterns within the families
reflect a common ancestry. Later their descendants were Unionists during the
Civil War. See also Burns, Inez, "History of Blount Co., TN",
Nashville, TN Historical Committee, 1957, pgs 35 & 36.
83. WINGATE5 JONES, (Zachariah4, Ebenezer3, Thomas2,
WilliamA-1), b ca 1754 Worcester Co., MD d after 1815 ?GA m unknown.
Phillip Wingate in his Worcester County, Maryland, will made on 19 November 1757
and probated 8 March 1759 gave "to grandsons Wingate Cannon
and Wingate Jones 5 shillings each."7
In Sussex County, Delaware, he was a witness to many wills including Margaret
Newbold’s on 4 May 1787, Joseph Robinson’s on 21 October 1791 and his Uncle’s,
Thomas Jones, on 2 November 1798. He was the administrator of his father’s
estate and also the estate of his brother, Ephraim. Wingate sold, on 27 November
1791, the 139 acres of land he inherited from his father to Anthony Vickers.8
We feel that he moved to Greene County, Georgia, about 1801/2 as he is found on
the 1805 and 1807 Georgia Land Lottery in Greene County.9 He had to have been in
Georgia in 1802 as a requirement to participate in the land lottery was you had
to be a resident of Georgia for three years. He obviously moved to Geene County
to join his brother, Zachariah, the Knowles’, the Marvel’s and probably
James R. Jones was also there. On 6 December 1806 Wingate with Armistead Flippin
witnessed the will of William Ballard in Greene County.10
Wingate is on the 1815 Georgia Tax Digest still in Greene County.11 There is no
further record of Wingate after 1815 and he is not on the 1816 and 1817 Tax
Digest’s. We have no record of the name of Wingate’s wife, and since she did
not sign the 1801 deed she must have been dead or he never married. The 1800
census for Sussex County, Delaware,
lists Wingate as age 45 and up indicating he was born before 1755. We have
listed the following children based on 1800 census: Possible children:
0000. (i) FEMALE6 JONES b 1774-1784.
0000. (ii) MALE6 JONES b 1784-1790.
0000. (iii) FEMALE6 JONES b 1784-1790.
86. ZACHARIAH5 JONES, (Zachariah4,
Ebenezer3, Thomas2, WilliamA-1), b ca 1763 Worcester, Co.,
MD d by 7 Dec 1827 Greene Co., GA m Margaret ______. On 27 Oct 1788 Zachariah
reacquired from the administrator of John Darby the 300 acres he inherited from
his fathers estate which he and Margaret had sold to John Darby.12
The last reference to Zachariah in Sussex County, Delaware, is that he is on the
1796 Sussex County Tax List. We feel that he probably moved to Greene County,
Georgia, in 1796 as he appears on the 1797, 1801, 1809, and 1815 Georgia Tax
Digest in Greene County. In Greene County he moved with or
joined Edmund, James, Richard and Zachariah Knowles and Eli, Elisha and
Prettyman Marvel in Greene County. We have no associations of Jones family with
Knowles or Marvel family in Greene County, but they were near neighbors in
Sussex County. Edmond Knowles and his wife, Patience Prettyman daughter of
Thomas Prettyman, lived on Shoulder Bone Creek where Zachariah Jones lived in
Greene County, Georgia. Patience Prettyman Knowles daughter, Patience Knowles,
married Cader Carter and the lived in Tallapoosa County, Alabama where sons of
Zachariah Jones lived. Plus Prettyman Marvel married Lavina Rogers daughter of
John Rogers and Comfort Prettyman. Prettyman Marvel was therefore the
brother-in-law of Ebenezer Jones father of James R. Jones and Prettyman Jones.
James Knowles married first Patience Marvel and Richard Knowles married Prudence
Marvel. Patience, Prettyman and Prudence Marvel were children of David Marvel
and ___Prettyman. James and Richard Knowles’ brother, Edmund, married Patience
Prettyman. Comfort, and Patience Prettyman were daughters of Thomas Prettyman.
John Rogers and Comfort Prettyman’s daughters Leah and Orpha also married Marvel’s. So the Marvel, Knowles and Jones family were related
and had close associations in Sussex County, Delaware.
In Greene County, Georgia, Zachariah Jones purchased 200 acres of land on 14
November 1796 from James Bealey, 32 acres of land on 4 April 1800 from John
Smith all on waters of Beaver Dam of Richland Creek.13
He also purchased on 18 October 1809 
199 acres of land in Greene County on the Onoconee River and on 5 April 1814 192 ½ acres from Mathew Harris on water of
Shoulder Bone Creek. The latter tract of land bordered the land of Zachariah,
David Harris and Matthew Harris.14
On 5 April 1817 he purchased another 15 acres of land on Shoulder Bone Creek
from Robert Astin.15 On 5
April 1817 Zachariah sold to Ephraim Jones 177 7/10 acres of land on Shoulder
Bone Creek.16 He had sold
land on waters of Beaverdam of Richland Creek to William White on 13 September
1813.
We do not know what the surname of Zachariah’s wife Margaret was, but our
best guess is that it was Dickinson. There was a tradition in Sussex County,
Delaware, of naming son with wife’s surname, and
Zachariah and Margaret had a son Dickinson. We do have evidence of the surviving
children of Zachariah in two Greene County deeds. On 7 December 1827 Ephraim
Jones; John Wright and wife Nancy; James Harris and wife Lucretia; William P.
Newell and wife Priscilla; Seaborn Jones; Isaac Jones and Zachariah Jones sold
to Dickinson Jones their interest in land on Shoulderbone Creek being tract of
land whereon Zachariah Jones deceased resided at time of his death. The deed
identified the dower of widow, and for daughters identified them as formerly
Joneses.18 On 6 December 1827
Ephraim Jones, John Wright; James Harris; Seaborn H. Jones; William P. Newell;
Isaac Jones; Zachariah Jones, Clemmen Jones and Margaret Jones legatees of
estate of Zachariah Jones deceased sold land to Dickinson Jones.19 This was land
in 16th District formerly Henry County [GA], 5th District
formerly Henry County [GA], and 15th District of Monroe County [GA}
now Upson County, Georgia. Clemmen Jones signed the deed as resident of Troup
County, Georgia. Children:

listed on the 1830 Troup County, Georgia, census with two white males 20-30; one
white male 30-40; one white female 5-10; one white female 20-30 and one white
female 60-70. He may have been the Clement Jones listed on 1840 Pike County,
Georgia, census with one male and one female aged 40-50 and was family number
44. Family number 40 was a Seaborn Jones.
