The indications are that he was born and died in the community of Ethel, but we have reported only the county, having no more definite documentation. Bob was the son of William Foote Jones (1808-after 1880) and Mary Emily Leverett (Apr 1842-Aft 1910. Mary had been previously married to Benz Schmidt/Smith from Prussia, who died after the 1860 census. Mary and Bob married about 1868. Their first son, William Foote Jones, was born 12 November 1869. Bob died between the 1910 and 1920 censuses. It appears to be soon after 1901, since the last child was Robert Franklin Jones, born 13 November 1910. Family sources report he was buried in the private family cemetery on the Rowland-Jones family farm on Belleview Road in Ethel. The cemetery was started with the death of the first owner in this family line, Bedford Forrest Rowland. Bedford and his wife Maggie Ella McSwain lived in a house in the woods on the property. Bedford was buried in the field at the edge of that woods. Maggie's brothers later built a new house for her. The cemetery lies between the two houses. The farm is now owned by a McSwain family member. Robert's wife Ciscela Ola Holden later moved to Dallas, Texas, with her don Robert Franklin Jones. They both died and are buried in Dallas.

"The really interesting Texas Jones descendants of Russell Sr. came down through Russell Jr., who married Sophia Harris and died suddenly of illness in San Felipe, Texas, in 1841. His son Augustus Harris, who arrived in Mexican Texas in 1835, escaped death at Goliad and the Alamo because he was off in the States raising money on Fannin's behalf for the Texian cause. Gus Jr., a cowman turn-of-the-century mayor of San Antonio, joined two other cattlemen to build the Saint Anthony, still a luxury hotel there. William Early Jones, a jurist who was hauled off to Mexico City in 1842 by General Woll while holding a commissioners court in San Antonio, became first editor of the San Antonio Express after distinguishing himself as an editor in Augusta, Georgia." -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, Aug 30, 2017 "Another name in the will [of Drury Christian] jumped out at me: Joel T. Haley, related somehow to Margaret Connally Jones, married Thomas Jones's daughter Frances. Their great niece Lucy Cline wrote a stunning description (in RootsWeb entry for Russell T. Jones Sr.) of the glory that once was the Thomas Jones home, with seven large fireplaces and chimneys, by Fort Lamar on Athens Road, Georgia Hwy 106, outside Danielsville, Madison County, Georgia. Joel carved his 1802 birth date on top of the mantel in the front parlor. There was a Joel T. Haley Jr., then the Third. The family made it big in the grocery business in Chattanooga." -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 14 January 2018 "Mary Polly, one of Thomas's sisters, married Gen. Allen Daniel. This northern portion of Madison was once part of Franklin County, when Thomas's father, Russell T. Jones Sr., originally settled there. During the Revolution, when he was in the NC Light Dragoons, the family lived in Wilkes County, North Carolina, after their original home in Albemarle County, Virginia, in the vicinity of Monticello and Charlottesville, became overrun with the British. Russell was a bricklayer and building contractor as well as farmer. Jefferson biographer Dumas Malone said Jones boys were clients of young attorney Thomas Jefferson but neglected to say which ones and why they needed legal representation." -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 20 January 2018

There is a North Carolina Marriage Bond record that matches Tom and Margaret, but the date is very late. Ther must be another couple with similar names who married in 1845. Our Thomas and Margaret married about 1805. North Carolina, Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Thomas J Jones Spouse Margaret A Connolly Bond Date 1 Feb 1845 Bond #000016301 Record # 01 159 Caswell County Bondsman Thomas H Mile "I have documentation for my third great grandfather, Russell T. Jones Sr., who was in the Continental North Carolina Light Dragoons. His daughter-in-law, my second great grandmother, was Margaret Connally, wife of Col Thomas Jones, War of 1812. Margaret is actually my Rev. War tie-in to the Connally's. One of Russell Sr.'s daughters married General Daniel. Did Price Daniel descend from him, I wonder?" -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 28 August 2017 "Another name in the will [of Drury Christian] jumped out at me: Joel T. Haley, related somehow to Margaret Connally Jones, married Thomas Jones's daughter Frances. Their great niece Lucy Cline wrote a stunning description (in RootsWeb entry for Russell T. Jones Sr.) of the glory that once was the Thomas Jones home, with seven large fireplaces and chimneys, by Fort Lamar on Athens Road, Georgia Hwy 106, outside Danielsville, Madison County, Georgia. Joel carved his 1802 birth date on top of the mantel in the front parlor. There was a Joel T. Haley Jr., then the Third. The family made it big in the grocery business in Chattanooga." -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 14 January 2018 "In the original Ancestry packet it is Image 573, "A Return of the Estate of Drury B. Christian dcd." Besides Joel T. Haley, names include Permelia [Thomasina Jones] Attaway, Thomas Jones's youngest sister; Thomas Jones, Charles Jones, Samuel Connally, William L. Connally, William L. Connally, and Mary Christian." -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 21 January 2018 "Mary Polly, one of Thomas's sisters, married Gen. Allen Daniel. This northern portion of Madison was once part of Franklin County, when Thomas's father, Russell T. Jones Sr., originally settled there. During the Revolution, when he was in the NC Light Dragoons, the family lived in Wilkes County, North Carolina, after their original home in Albemarle County, Virginia, in the vicinity of Monticello and Charlottesville, became overrun with the British. Russell was a bricklayer and building contractor as well as farmer. Jefferson biographer Dumas Malone said Jones boys were clients of young attorney Thomas Jefferson but neglected to say which ones and why they needed legal representation." -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 20 January 2018

A newspaper (unidentified in clipping I read) reports that his body was found in Hurricane Bayou of the White River Chute of the Arkansas River near Ethel, Arkansas County, Arkansas. Thomas Earl was buried in a family cemetery in Ethel, according to the newspaper story. Here is a short exerpt of the story: "The body of Thomas Earl Jones, 24, was found in the White River Chute last Friday about three quarters of a mile below the head of Hurricane Bayou. ... No marks of violence could be detected on the body, which was thoroughly examined by a coroner's jury. ...The Jones boy was buried Friday night in a family cemetery near Ethel." This story says the body was found on Friday and buried that night. I thought that was a short time to get the body out of the river, get it into town, perform the autopsy, have the coroner's inquest, and finish the legal investigation the same calendar day. However, I found that the Arkansas Death Index reports his date of death as 22 January 1938. This date was a Saturday. Here is the official date of death from the Arkansas Death Index.
