I am curious though about the Hawkins family that you list as an associated surname. Thomas and Winifred Jones named their first child Chola Hawkins Jones and it appears that there were Hawkins in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, so I assume as it often happened that the middle name of Hawkins was the last name of a beloved relative. I was unable to find information on the Hawkins family on your site and would appreciate your telling me how to find them. <br />Thanks,<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013504526338970882.post-35694955084814535492014-08-11T14:07:29.026-07:002014-08-11T14:07:29.026-07:00This is my third attempt to thank you for your pro...This is my third attempt to thank you for your prompt reply and wonderful suggestion to post on the new blog.

Thomas was born on Jan. 3, 1775 in MD (parents unknown) and Winifred was born in 1776 in either VA. or MD. Her father was Benjamin Thorn and her mother was Amelia Artis Swann.<br /><br />Thomas and Winnie married in Prince George's County on December 26, 1789 and 6 months later Winifred gave birth to a girl on July 28, 1790. They also had a son Thomas born around 1791 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA<br /><br />Young Thomas, a tailor by trade, enlisted in the army on October 14, 1813 in Providence, R.I. He served at Fort Edgecomb, Maine until his honorable discharge on May 4, 1815 in Wiscasset, Maine. On October 6, 1817, he was issued one of the earliest bounty land warrants which he signed over to his father Thomas. <br /><br />Thomas, Jr. went to Ohio where he became the father of at least four children - Thomas b. 1822, James b. 1823, Dennis b. 1824 and Pattee b. 1833. We assume that Thomas Jr. and his wife died sometime between 1833 and 1840 when their children are found living with his parents in Milford, Knox, Ohio. The grandchildren were all living near Thomas and Winnie in Milford on the 1850 census too. The were living near a Lemuel Jones from MD for that ten year period, so I assume they were related.<br /><br />The entire family moved to bounty land in Warren County, IL. Thomas, Sr. died in 1855 and Winifred in 1858 with both being buried in the Green Bush cemetery in Warren County, Illinois.<br /><br />Any information that would fill in the blanks would be most welcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013504526338970882.post-42084771476197550912013-11-29T13:37:47.459-08:002013-11-29T13:37:47.459-08:00What dates are your Thomas Jones?What dates are your Thomas Jones?The Jones Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384328568699198104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013504526338970882.post-25544494067069658242013-11-27T10:55:50.837-08:002013-11-27T10:55:50.837-08:00Hello,

By DNA testing William Lewis who was in Loudoun Co Va and moved to Washington Co., Va is my ancestor. We match with others from Washington Co., Va. I have Thomas John Jr and Thomas John Sr in Loudoun as my grandfather's too. They died in 1769 and 1770 in that location. I think this group at the New Valley Baptist Church in Loudoun might be from PA as Pennsylvanians settled Loudoun County, Va. We think our Lewis line is Welsh but the Welsh naming pattern is difficult to follow. William Lewis was most likely a descendant of the Welsh that came to America and settled in Pa. The 1771 will of William Jones and a short history of The New Valley Baptist Church seems to be the first that shows connections. I wish I knew more but have had problems in going back another generation. Thomas John has a record of his daughter marrying Henry Reynolds in Chester Co Pa but I also have a record of him being in Cecil Co., MD buying his first piece of land in Prince William Co., Va Fairfax was formed from that and Loudoun was formed from Fairfax. <br />This is all I know right now but wish I knew more about all that was living around William Lewis.<br /><br />MarianneMariannenoreply@blogger.com
