Thomas Jones family in Linn County, Missouri
I am trying to break through to the parents of Thomas Crockett Jones.Many in our line have tried but failed to go beyond Thomas.We know he was born February 14, 1812 and died April 22, 1897.The census reports he was born in Virginia and some say Tazewell County, Va.One census reports Tennessee and we know his wife's family was in Tazewell, Claiborne, Tennessee before going to Missouri. His wife is Elizabeth H. Moss, daughter of Reubin and Sara Moss, marriage date around 1836. The first concrete information we have is the 1850 Missouri, Purdin, Linn County census.He lived in Linn County until his death.There are reports from later relatives that his mother's name was Harriet (not verified).Some say he was taken in by a caring family.His wife's brother Robert Burton Moss married the daughter of Andrew Crockett and because his middle name is Crockett we surmise he is connected in some way to a Crockett family. Please give me anything you might have.
