Hi again,
I have a correction on the information from yesterday. I said that John JONES, s/o Swan and Elizabeth ( LEE ) JONES, died by 1750, this was wrong, sorry about that. From the same ref. Robert JONES, Fleet's Bay, under Taylor and Jones Families, and Bell, Jones, Lee notes, pg. 219-22.
Capt. John JONES, of Orange Co., will date 31 May 1758, probated same year., mentions 2 children underage, ' Loving Wife Mary JONES, and her two brothers Maj. John BELL and Mr. Thomas BELL, of Prince William Co., and Mr. Zachary TAYLOR, of Orange Co. ' also ' My Loving Sister Elizabeth TAYLOR ', witns; James BELL and Elizabeth TAYLOR ( the 1/2 sister ). Elizabeth ( LEE/ JONES ) TAYLOR, died about 1750, his mother.
Mary JONES was granted adm'n with Zachary TAYLOR, as securtiy, Test: George TAYLOR Clk. ( Zachary's brother ). Inventory w/out appraisment was made 08 Aug. 1758, a partial inventory w/ appr., made on 03 Dec. 1759, by Richard BEALE, JAMES COLEMAN, Junr. and James SUGGETT, states ' we the subscibers met and assigned the above articles to Mr. Zachary BURNLEY, who married the widow of Capt. John JONES, dec'd. '
The marriage of John JONES and Mary BELL, was on 02 Nov. 1750, in Lancaster Co., I can't find a record for Mary ( BELL ) JONES marriage to Zachary/Zachariah BURNLEY. Also the Maj. John BELL, mentioned in Capt. John JONES will, was probably dead by 24 Jan. 1761, Leanna ( JONES ) LEE's will, doesn't mention him. Another thing I have noticed that there are two Capt. Thomas BELL's of Orange Co., poss. both with Gist and Grayson command. The DAR records also show interchanging information from both, one of them died in 1791 and the other died in 1795. I think the Capt. Thomas BELL who died in 1795, was connected to Roger BELL, he also I think had a wife named Elizabeth!
Hope this helps, I know it's confusing!!!
