David,
This is a long shot, but stranger things have occurred.I have a petition for land sale dated 1858 on a Mark Jones (dec) of Stanly County, NC.In this petition many heirs are listed.One such heir is an unknown Shields and wife Kitty and it states that they are non residents of North Carolina.In this peition Mark Jones is leaving his estate to his nieces and nephews, thus the assumption that Kitty might be a Jones.
Now Kitty is sometimes a nickname for Catherine or Kathrine.You have a Catherine Jones listed in your post.In addition, it is know that several of the Jones "girls" left NC for TN and IL (whereabouts unknown).
Perchance would you happen to know any further information on your Catherine Jones (i.e. her place of birth)?
Like I said, a long shot, but can be hopeful.Any info gladly shared would be helpful.Please post or e-mail direct.Thanks,
Mary R. Holley
