Rev. Rowland Jones, of Bruton Parish - Children - descent

Erica, it was so nice to read your analysis. My focus so far is Rowland1608, Rowland1644 and down the line of Orlando, so so far I cannot comment on the other but I would like to add some my findings.

NOTE: Because of so many of the same given name I am attaching the birth year to the end of the given name.

There are 2 Williams associated with Lane Jones, one born 1723 and one born 1746. If 1723 is real he would have been born when Lane was 16 and without any records of a marriage. One source is "A Concise History of the Introduction of Protestantism Into Mississippi and the Southwest" by Rev John Griffing Jones. Rev Jones is the great grandson of William1723.

Rev Jones, in the above book, describes his descendants back to and including William1723 and his wife Phoebe Courtney adding that they were of Welsh descent. There are no descendants earlier than William provided.

The Henly bible, per W&M Quarterly, only speaks of William1769, Lane's first and oldest child. I don't doubt that W&M is correct. But what about William1723? But I also believe there is a Lane child b1723, but only have circumstantial evidence of same. I have evidence that W&M has made errors, but have not found Rev John G to have done so. I have not yet read for myself what W&M Quarterly says but am ordering some issues, but many have said that this Jones line goes back through Sir Thomas Jones Knight and Dame Jane per W&M. This I know to be incorrect as a book written in England by English author John Rowland, indicates the Jones (Johns) line to stop ca1847.

Be of good cheer, stay in touch
