"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?"

"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."

"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."

"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."
