Notes for WILLIAM JONES:
Morgan County, KY Vital Statistics show:
William Jones, age 66, son of Ambrose and martha Jones, died of consumption on May 14, 1852 in Morgan County, kentucky, widower, born Virginia, residence Morgan, Carter County, Kentucky. (To me, this is confusing. This says he died in both Morgan and Carter Counties.)
The 1850 census shows William living with his son Isaac and family in Morgan County.
Much information on William was given to me by Mac Webb on September 10, 2001

4. PRISCILLA³ JONES (AMBROSE², THOMAS¹) was born February 18, 1787 in Southwestern Virginia, and died 1805 in Morgan County, Kentucky. She married ISAAC NICKELL 1800 in Virginia, son of JOSEPH NICKELL and ELIZABETH FOWLER. He was born 1775 in Greenbrier River, Augusta County, Virginia, and died February 20, 1850 in Matthew, Morgan County, Kentucky.

Notes for ISAAC NICKELL:
Isaac was reared in Bourbon County, Kentucky. About 1810 he settled near White Oak creek in the southeastern part of what is now Morgan County, Kentucky, and about 20 miles east of where his brother John lived on Red River. He purchased this home of about 600 acres from the Floyd County Seminary Association. Of this land he gave ground for the first church in Morgn County, founded by his nephew Preacher Joe Nickell at White Oak in 1832. He and his third wife Isabelle Montgomery Cole Nickell were two of the original eight members of this church.
In 1824, Isaac sued Uriah Cottle, accusing Uriah of getting Isaac's daughter Martha pregnant. He sued for $5000 but settled for $50 and costs. It is believed that Uriah raised the child which was born about 1824/1825. Witnesses for Isaac were: Amnbrose Jones, Ben Wells, William Dyer, William Adams, James Brown, Richard Ferguson and wife, William McClintock Sr., Hezekiah McClintock, and Richard Jones.
Isaac's sons William P. and Greenup, were sued by Samuel Keeton for breaking into "three or four of his houses and carrying away boards, roofs, and such, breaking windows and exposing his wife, who is in a very dangerous situation and jeopardized by exposure." He settled for $40 damages. Many Nickells were witnesses for Keeton, but there were no witnesses for Isaac and his sons.
Isaac was one of the first to promote the lumber industry in the county, and at one time had 30,000 acres under lease according to the old Morgan County tax rolls.

Notes for MARTHA A. JONES:
Martha is not listed in ""A MONTGOMERY AND COLE RECORD BOOK" as being a child of John and Sarah. I made my entry early in my research, and have no notes as to a source or reference. But for the time being, I am leaving her listed.
Don Nickell shows that John and Sarah had a daughter Mary Jones born abaout 1852. Perhaps one of us has the name wrong, so I'll leave it as Martha, but include this note.
