It is said that Abraham was from Scotland, immigrated to the US about 1740 or 1741. However, the trail to Scotland so far leads to nowhere. It is possible that the family history and old tales are in error. This particular line of the Jones family is prominent in the history of Georgia. The descendents of Abraham were judges, teachers, soldiers and preachers. They founded schools, churches and communities.
I have found one old note dated 2001 on the Jones boards that refers to an Abraham from Virginia that had a son Abraham II that moved to NC, that had three sons that match (Abraham III, John and James). The poster has disappeared and I cannot find any additional information.
Abraham is my maternal 6th Great Grandfather.
