Note: this line not completely verified in generations preceding NICHOLAS JONES b 1761. Comments appreciated.
The surnames ASHTON, LANCELOT/LAUNCELOT, MAINWARING/MANWARING and PIERCE which show up as first names in this family {not to mention Charles and John, which were used again & again}; all these surnames have deep & long associations with Westmoreland Co VA. More research to come!
NATHANIEL JONES of MACHODICK b abt 1630 England? Wales? VA? m JUDITH Unknown, settled in Northumberland Co VA which part became Westmoreland Co VA, as per will written June 1662, probated Aug 1662, which mentions wife, JUDITH JONES; Mary Mathe, Judith Eastaff, others; mentions children, but does not name them.

CHARLES JONES I b 1690s-1700 Westmoreland Co VA m KATHERINE/CATHERINE unknown (possibly LANCELOT/LAUNCELOT?); Charles & his sons were in Bertie Co NC records as early as 1728. He died 1748 Bertie Co VA; will mentioned wife KATHERINE, children SARAH JONES who married Outree/Oughtree/Autrey?, CHARLES JONES II, LANCELOT JONES, and JOHN JONES, below.
JOHN JONES b bef 1728 prob Westmoreland Co VA, m unknown Pierce; possibly moved from Bertie Co NC to Granville Co NC after marriage? Wife's maiden name unverified, but NICHOLAS JONES my ancestor & PIERCE JONES (who married Sarah GRAVES, daughter of Robert GRAVES) were both married in Granville Co NC at about the same time, and both were present in the 1800 Pulaski Co KY census, along with an unplaced ROBERT JONES; they were the only Jones' listed for that census year in Pulaski Co KY.
NICHOLAS JONES b abt 1761 VA? NC? d aft 1821 near Fayetteville, Lincoln Co TN; m Martha"Patsy" MOORE, daughter of Arthur MOORE & Elizabeth STANLEY. Arthur MOORE owned land in Orange Co NC adjacent to land that was given to PIERCE JONES by his father-in-law Robert GRAVES. Arthur MOORE was also co-listed in 1757 census Bertie Co NC with his likely father BENTON MOORE, and CHARLES JONES Jr. NICHOLAS JONES & Martha Patsy MOORE had many children, but I have only been able to trace two of them: JOHN JONES who witnessed the 1821 will of Arthur Moore, his grandfather, in Rutherford TN, and ELIZABETH JONES, see below.
ELIZABETH JONES b abt 1782 prob Granville Co NC m Thomas SCOTT; died around 1840 in McNairy Co TN; Thomas SCOTT migrated late in life to Greene Co MO with many of his children, and many of his descendants lived in Greene, Taney, & Christian Co MO.
