Individual Details

The family of William Jones as given here is based on the assumption the William Jones, son of Charles Jones, is the same William Jones found later in Dade Co MO. Given the close association with the Poindexter family both in Kentucky and Missouri it seems he could not be anyone else.

A booklet "A History of Antioch Church" written by Erma R. Bishop and found in the Dade Co Library states the following: The history of Dade County could not well be written without placing the Antioch Church well in the front. Events will show that in 1844 five families had settled in this part of Dade County, coming mostly from Kentucky and Tennessee. And among those who were most prominent in the first organization are the following names: Willis, Mallory, Farris, SCOTT, Cox, JONES, COBLE, POINDEXTER, Gambill, LOLLAR, Hudspeth and Merrick.

That this William Jones moved to Dade Co MO is supported by the censuses of 1850 and 1860:
1850 Dade Co MO, p.294, household 454:
William Jones, age 65, born VA
Sarah, age 63, born VA
In household 456 is Rebecca Scott, believed to be a daughter. She has children Henry age 3 and Sarah age 2, both born in MO.

1860 Dade Co MO, Polk Twp, p.44, household #296
William Jones, age 76, b. VA
Rebecca Scott, age 37, b. KY
Henry P., age 13, b. MO
Sarah M., age 10, b. MO

June Term 1869
June 9, p.418 Now at this day comes Joseph G. Payne, administrator of the estate of William Jones, deceased, and makes his first annual settlement. Said administration appears to owe estate $109.31.

This deed would also seem to be part of the settlement of William Jones' estate:
