My "Jones-Jolly" and "Burden-Brain" Lines.

I am researching the Ancestors and Descendants of John Jones and Sarah "Sally" Jolly on my Father's side of the family. This includes the Davis, Chancellor, Draper, Horn and Box lines.

I am also researching the Ancestors and Descendants of James Burden and Mary Brain on my Mother's side of the family. This includes the Lindsey, Daugherty, Phelps and Evans lines.

I want to acknowledge the research done by my Aunt, Cledith "Tedi" Jones Doster. Her research is incorporated into my research and gave me a place to start.

I must also give special thanks to my sister, Juanita Catherine Jones and my first Cousin, Billy Ray Jones for all of the help they have given with this research. Without their help and the help of the many "Cousins", previously unknown to me,who have contacted me with additional information, I could not have gathered this much data.

Note:Due to a software glitch, I recently lost all source references from my computer. I do have hard copies and am in the process of rebuilding this source information on all files. Please bear with me while I do this. It may take a while. If you need a particular source reference, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please remember, this is a work in progress. I have verified as much information as possible at this time but there is still a lot of information I have not verified. Any corrections or contributions will be appreciated.
