Catherine Jones Diamond Grigg
Hello, I'm trying to get the right parents for Catherine Jones Diamond who first married Samuel T. Diamond and then Richardson Grigg. Her children are, Jane, Emaline, Robert, George, Samuel; then by Richardson: Daniel and William.
I've been told Isa's book gives Pleasant Jones and Sarah Osburn as her parents.Info from Glenn Diamond I believe.Does anyone know the documentation of this information??
Someone told me the ancestry file on www.familysearch.org of Pleasant Jones/Sarah Osburn does
not list the name Catherine as one of their children. Around the time Catherine was born (July 11, 1819) they have listed two other children with births about the same time.It would be a pretty tight squeeze to get Catherine into the family!
I've also been told the printout on William Jones/Polly Haw from the ancestry file of the LDS
site shows a daughter Catharine, born about the time our Catherine was born.
In case you don't have this file it says:
William Jones, b. abt. 1787, Sumner County, TN, married Polly Haw July 15,
1808 in Sumner County, TN.Polly was born about 1791 in Sumner County, TN.
She was the daughter of James Haw and Catherine Thomas.
Their children were:James Jones, b. abt. 1809, Granville Jones, b. about
1811, Minerva Jones, b. abt. 1813, Samuel Jones, b. abt. 1815, Catherine
Jones, b. about 1819, Uriah Jones, b. abt. 1820, Edwin Jones, b. abt. 1821,
Nancy Jones, born abt. 1823.
I've been told the William Jones family may have come to Bond County, Illinois because Mary
Minerva Jones, their third child listed above, came to Illinois because she
married James McCracken in Greenville, IL.This hasn't been followed up yet however.
One problem: The 1880 census, Catherine Grigg said her parents were born in Georgia.
Georgia borders Tennessee, I understand Sumner County is not near the Georgia line
right now - may be back then? In about 1787 and 1791 when William and
Polly were born?
Pleasant and Sarah were born in Tennessee too I think.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michelle Stanga
