Brunswick Co., NC

∙ My ancestor: Tabitha Jones (c1810-1860s) and Cornelius Davis

∙ Notes: I have not yet researched all early Jones families in Brunswick, only those that lived in the north western section of the county primarily in the section that became Columbus County in the 1870s who are potentially related to mine. I’ve made note of the other early ones in Brunswick that I’ve come across.

∙ A. B. Jones (1765/1784-aft 1810) on 1810 census in Brunswick. Residing alone.

∙ Allen Jones (c1803/15-aft 1840). Near Cornelius Davis in 1840.

∙ Benjamin A. Jones (1819-1902) and Sarah Herndon of Brunswick, Columbus and New Hanover Co., NC.

∙ Benjamin A. Jones (c1821-aft 1880) and Elizabeth — of Brunswick and Columbus Co., NC. Benjamin’s age fluctuates from census to census 22 in 1860 (c1838), 51 in 1870 (c1819) and 59 in 1880 (c1821). Those last two are close enough together.

Is listed on 1850 census in Waccamaw District, Brunswick County apparently widowed, with Benjamin Simmons (c1779 SC) and Mary (c1780 NC), her parents or grandparents perhaps? Had son James P. Jones (1848-1914). Helen is in Columbus in 1860, not found in 1870, in Columbus with son James in 1880 and 1900.

∙ Joseph Jones (d 1804) resident of town of Smithville. Left a Will (1804) naming wife Mary, sons Joseph Jones, Augustin Jones, Martin Jones and Bartholomew Jones. None of those appeared on the 1790, 1800 or 1810 census in Brunswick Co., NC so must have lived elsewhere. Joseph possibly moved to Brunswick shortly before dying there.

∙ Mary Jones (c1781-aft 1850) an apparent widow listed in Brunswick in 1840 and 1850 in Smithville. I don’t know who her husband was. She had a son with her in 1840 aged 15-19 (born 1820/1825) who might be Lewis Jones (c1820) who was near her in 1850.
