When I get back from business travel, I'm going to pursue the microfilm loan route through the Family History Library for some of the other early Jefferson County records that are only available on microfilm. I also want to look again at the land grants filed in North Carolina for the area that became Jefferson County. This will add some time, but I think will uncover the remaining links to verify this is my Thomas Jones line.Patrick Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017739832967378472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534357130899503662.post-13383777660729624252013-04-03T00:00:18.210-04:002013-04-03T00:00:18.210-04:00That's quite a challenge to find records befor...That's quite a challenge to find records before 1797 in Tennessee! Looking forward to hearing more on your progress, Patrick. My only question: how will you demonstrate that that is <i>your</i> Thomas Jones? Do you have plat maps for the area? Or is the role of overseer independent from contiguous land ownership?Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.com
