SONES FAMILY HISTORY FOREWORD FROM THE AUTHOR / EDITOR I reluctantly use the designation "author" when referring to my roll in publishing the Sones Genealogical Project; I "authored" very little. Far more than 90% of what's contained in these pages came word-for-word from another source. The only two exceptions to that is when I personally visited a cemetery and discovered previously untapped information. The other portion I authored are my hypotheses and theories when not verifiable by a reasonable collection of data. I have made every effort to tell the reader where I am making my own determinations based on what I consider a reasonable assumption. Of course, what is reasonable to me may be ludicrous to someone else. Weigh your own ideas and research against my suggestions or the contradictions given by others (There are many). I've spent decades of time, thousands of dollars in expenses, and thousands of miles of travel to accumulate what I've recorded. My hope is that researchers will use what I've put forth to prove or disprove my data. My information is no better than my sources. Some information came from memories-of-the-elderly who may not have the details quite as orderly as years before. Such was the case with the first edition, from which I made many corrections based on improved information. Feel free to email me with your ideas, leads and suggestions. I'm in my fifties now and not researching to the extent I did only a few years ago. I beg your forgiveness and happy to hand the torch of my research to those who are younger or fired-up to continue the work. - Ivan Lewis The SONES lineage in Marion County Mississippi runs directly to Henry SOANE, JR - a Burgess in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1652-1661 and Speaker of the House of Burgesses in 1660-1661. Thomas JEFFERSON, SR was born in 1653 in Curles, James River, Henrico, Virginia. He died in 1697 in Henrico Co., VA. He married Mary BRANCH in 1677 in Curles, James River, Henrico, Virginia. Mary BRANCH was born about 1660 in Henrico County, Virginia. She died after Nov 1700 in Henrico County, Virginia. Their children were Thomas JEFFERSON, JR who was born in 1677 and died on 18 Feb 1731; Martha JEFFERSON was born about 1679 in Henrico, Virginia; Mary JEFFERSON was born in 1679 in Henrico, Virginia. Of special interest to the SONES researcher, Colonel Peter JEFFERSON (1708-1757), son of Captain Thomas JEFFERSON, JR (1677-18 Feb 1731) and Mary FIELD (1680-1715) married Jane RANDOLPH (1720-1776). They were the parents of Thomas JEFFERSON (1743-1826), who became the third President of the United States. Thomas JEFFERSON's Great-Great Grandparents were Henry and Judith (FULLER) SOANE. The Marion County, Mississippi Sones families are relatives of, but not descendents of President Thomas JEFFERSON. Thomas JEFFERSON was one of five delegates to the second Continental Congress charged with documenting the reasons for the colonies' break with Britain. With little modification, this would become the Declaration of Independence. Later, his love for architecture, philosophy, and education would come together when he would found the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. To better understand the connection, among Henry and Judith SOANE's decendants, Judith SOANE (1646-1703), first married Henry RANDOLPH (1623-1673) and secondly (marr 21 Oct 1678 Chickahominy, VA) to Peter FIELD (1647-1707). Mary FIELD (1679-1715), their daughter married Thomas JEFFERSON, JR (1679-1730), Sheriff of Henrico County, Virginia and son of Thomas JEFFERSON, SR (died 1697) and Mary (Martha) BRANCH. One of JEFFERSON's descendants, Dabney N. McLEAN, has published a book recounting the JEFFERSON ancestry in The English Ancestry of Thomas JEFFERSON - available from Clearfied Publishing Co, 200 East Eager Street, Baltimore, MD 21202. According to the epitaph that he wrote for his tombstone, President Thomas JEFFERSON's desire was to be remembered as the "author of the Declaration of Independence (and) of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia." Descendants of Sally HEMINGS, JEFFERSON's slave, wish to be remembered as JEFFERSON's progeny. In January 2000 the foundation that owns Monticello, JEFFERSON's home, acknowledged what DNA tests have suggested, that JEFFERSON fathered one, if not all six, of Sally HENNING's children. The Thomas JEFFERSON Memorial Foundation is made up of descendants of Thomas JEFFERSON (1743-1826) and his wife Martha (WAYLES) SKELTON (1748-1782) whom he married in 1772. From his marriage to Martha WAYLES, JEFFERSON fathered six children, two of whom survived and had offspring, Martha (1772-1836) and Maria (1778-1804). Martha married Thomas Mann RANDOLPH in 1790 and Maria married John Wayles EPPES in 1797. JEFFERSON's wife, on her deathbed, asked her husband to never marry after her death. Rumors of an intimate relationship between JEFFERSON and Sally HEMINGS began in 1802, a year after JEFFERSON was elected President. No record exists of his admitting or denying the relationship. Sally HEMINGS was the half-sister of JEFFERSON's wife, Martha WAYLES, being the mulatto daughter of a slave and John WAYLES - Martha WAYLES' father.

"The long-established idea that all English land was held by the Crown also governed distribution of land in colonial Virginia, first through the Virginia Company of London under its royal charter (1607-1624) and then through the king’s officials in the colonial government (1624 forward). The year 1624 marked the revocation of the charter of the Virginia Company and the beginning of royal administration of the colony. The patent was the instrument by which land was transferred from the Crown to an individual. (The same principle governed the distribution of federal land from the United States government to private owners from the late eighteenth century forward.) During the early colonial period, Virginia settlers qualified for patents under basically two systems: headrights and treasury rights. In the seventeenth century, most of the patents were issued under the headright system. The London Company and then the Crown allowed persons who paid their own passage to the colony to obtain fifty acres each and an additional fifty acres for each person whose way they paid. For example, in November 1651, Henry SOANE received a patent for 297 acres in James City County for transporting six persons: himself, Henry SOANE Jr., Judith (sic) SOANE Sr., Judith SOANE Jr., John SOANE, and Eliza. (sic) SOANE (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Vol 1:222). This abstract sends up a red flag for the genealogist to investigate the possibility or likelihood that these persons were Henry’s wife and children. These headright claims could be held for months or years before being used or could be transferred to another individual, or assignee. In the example above, therefore, we cannot know from this source alone when Henry SOANE first arrived in the colony or how long he waited to make his claim.” 6 children of Henry JR & Judith SOANE: 1) (Captain) Henry SOANE, III born 1644 Litlington, East Sussex, ENG died 1714 James City County, VA married twice married first: 1665 ENG sp #1) Rebecca HUBBARD born 1640 ENG sp #2) Sarah __________ (sister of Elizabeth __________ BALLARD) Children of Henry JR & Judith SOANE continue: 2) (Captain) John SOANE born 1645 Litlington, East Sussex, ENG died 1695 James City County, VA Children of Henry JR & Judith SOANE continue: 3) Judith SOANE born 1646 Litlington, East Sussex, ENG died 1703 Henrico County, VA married twice married first: 12 Dec 1661 Henrico County, VA sp #1) Henry RANDOLPH, SR born 27 Nov 1623 Haughton, Northamptonshire, ENG died bef 1678 Henry RANDOLPH SR - the son of William RANDOLPH & Dorothy LANE.

Peter Jefferson owned a thousand-acre tract in what is now Albemarle County, Virginia. He acquired an additional 100 acres of adjoining land from William Randolph for "a consideration of Henry Weatherbourne's biggest bowl of arrack punch." A house was built on the site in 1737, which was named "Shadwell" after the parish in London where Peter Jefferson's wife was born. Thomas Jefferson, son of Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph Jefferson, was born at Shadwell. He lived there between 1743-1745 and 1752-1770 and moved to Monticello after the house was destroyed by fire in 1770. Thomas Jefferson has these marriages: first marriage: 1 Jan 1772 Charles City County, VA sp #1) Martha WAYLES born 30 Oct 1748 Charles City, Chester, VA died 6 Sep 1782 Richmond, Chesterfield, VA buried Monticello, Albermarle County, VA 6 children of Thomas & Martha JEFFERSON: 1) Martha JEFFERSON (Patsy) born 27 Sep 1772 died 10 Oct 1836 2) Jane Randolph JEFFERSON born 3 Apr 1774 Monticello, Albemarle County, VA died __ Sep 1775 Monticello, Albemarle County, VA 3) __________ JEFFERSON (son) born 28 May 1777 Monticello, Albemarle County, VA died 14 Jun 1777 Monticello, Albemarle County, VA 4) Mary Maria JEFFERSON (Polly) born 1 Aug 1778 died 17 Apr 1804 5) Lucy Elizabeth JEFFERSON born 30 Nov 1780 died 15 Apr 1781 6) Lucy Elizabeth JEFFERSON, II born 8 May 1782 Richmond, Chesterfield County, VA died 13 Oct 1784 Monticello, Albemarle County, VA Thomas JEFFERSON married second (mistress; not married): sp #2) Elizabeth MOORE born abt 1752 'Chelsea', King William County, VA died 1809 An early controversy of Thomas Jefferson concerned his relationship with Elizabeth Walker, his neighbor's wife. When General John WALKER went off on a military campaign, he asked Thomas JEFFERSON to take care of his wife, which he did. When WALKER returned in 1768, he discovered that his wife had been sleeping with JEFFERSON. According to Jefferson Historian Fawn BRODIE, John WALKER challenged Jefferson to a duel, but JEFFERSON refused. Later, WALKER tried to make amends with Jefferson but JEFFERSON refused to come see him. Thomas JEFFERSON married third (mistress; not married): sp #3) Maria HADFIELD born 1759 Florence, Italy died 1838 Maria was an accomplished artist, but best remembered as the mistress of Thomas Jefferson. There’s an abundance of exchanged love letters that verifies the love affair. But to her surprise, she found herself no longer a consort after he started his relationship with Sally Hemings. Maria's brother George Hadfield was a famous architect who is best known for designing the Arlington House in Virginia. Thomas JEFFERSON married fourth (mistress; not married): __ Apr 1789 Paris, France sp #4) Sally HEMINGS born 1773 Shadwell, Albermarle County, VA died 1835 Charlottesville, VA The date of 6 April 1789 for the "marriage" is used because the evidence seems to indicate that this was the time where the relationship moved into intimacy. JEFFERSON’s account book records that on April 6, 1789 he spent 96 francs on "clothes for Sally". Then, on April 16, 1789, he spent 72 francs on more clothes for Sally. Then on April 26, 1789 he spend 23 francs on "making clothes for servants." Finally on May 25, 1789 he "paid making clothes for Sally 25 francs." 6 children of Thomas Jefferson & Sally Hemings: 1) Harriett HEMINGS born 5 Oct 1795 Monticello, Albermarle County, VA died 7 Dec 1797 Monticello, Albermarle County, VA 2) Beverley HEMINGS born 1 Apr 1798 Monticello, Albermarle County, VA Beverley is the ancestor of Dr. Edward Graham JEFFERSON, retired Chairman of DuPont Chemical Corp.

SCHUMAN & Elizabeth SOANE: 1) John SOANE born 1672 died 1732 Bertie County, NC sp) Hannah HOLLIDAY Since the resulting child did not take his biological father’s name, I can only assume that there was never a marriage.

A. S. Thweatt, Chief Clerk, Dept. Agriculture, Insurance, Statistics and History, State of Texas: "James Thweatt, Prince George Co., Va., the earliest known Thweatt in America, was born in 1643. He had a son, James, who, in 1701, married Judith Soane in Henrico County, Virginia. From this marriage the following children were born John, Drury, Edward, Miles, James, David, Elizabeth, Edith, Frankie and Henry. Henry married Hannah, daughter of Edward Stanley of Henrico Co. Thos. G. Thweatt's first wife, Susanna Barksdale, Prince Edwards Co., Va. His second wife, Jane Coleman. Henry Thweatt: Sons, Thos. G. and Giles Thweatt. Giles married Sally Barksdale. Thos. G.

Belling Warehouse, departed this life on Friday, Feb. 26, 1790. The last named son, Henry, is said to be the father of Capt. Thos. G. Thweatt who served in the Revolutionary War. Thomas was born about 1752 and died in 1812. Thomas (Thwaite) Thweatt -- Va, Captain 14th Va. 2nd Dec. 1776. Taken prisoner at Germantown, 4th Oct. 1777; Paroled 27th March, 1778.

James Thweat arrived in Virginia forty eight years previous to 1707 or about 1659 .Born in England, grandson of Michaell Thweat in 1643. Age at time of arrival in Virginia was 16 . He had known the territory, from around 1648. His age at time of affidavit was 64. James Thweatt's birth year was 1643 .James Thweatt received a grant of 600 acres in 1670.

"William Soane, who came in the ship “Georg” in 1621 on transportation paid by John Southerne. To recap… Here we resume with the record of Elizabeth SOANE - the 5th child of Henry JR & Judith SOANE from a few pages prior. 5) Elizabeth Immigrant SOANE born 1650 Henrico County, VA died 1710 VA A child was born from a union with: Child by: William W SCHUMAN born 1651 VA died __ Jan 1715 Henrico County, VA Children of William SCHUMAN & Elizabeth SOANE include: 1) John SOANE born 1672 died 1732 Bertie County, NC sp) Hannah HOLLIDAY John may have had another marriage to an Ann BANISTER. 4 children of John & Hannah SOANE: 1) Holliday SOANE 2) Elizabeth SOANE 3) Anna SOANE 4) William SOANE born 1714 died before April 1774 Tyrrell County, NC sp) Sarah __________ William & Sarah SOANE lived in Tyrrell County, NC at the time of the 1755 tax list for that county. The name of Sarah is missing from most records; I found it in a book listing "deeds of sale of 1762" in the FHL in Salt Lake City. William's Will was proved in April 1774 in Martin County. They lived contemporary with his relative President Thomas JEFFERSON. 8 proposed children of William & Sarah SOANE (order unknown; dates estimated): 1) John SOANE born 1735 John lived in Martin County, North Carolina at the time of the state census of 1787 and the Federal censuses of 1790, 1800 and 1810. In the census of 1790, he was living with two other males - all over the age of 16, and no females or slaves. This seems to indicate that he was unmarried at 1790 and the other two males living with him in the Halifax District of Martin County were brothers, as they were all over the age of sixteen; although the possibility of an earlier marriage and two sons is by all means feasible. John died in Martin County, in 1814/5. At the time of the Federal census of 1800, John was married and had two sons and four daughters at home. John's will was executed by his nephew - Henry Hale SONES SR. Children of William & Sarah SOANE continue: 2) Henry B. SOANE* born abt 1737 *My connecting of Henry B. and Benjamin (#6 below) to this family is circumstantial and could potentially be error. These two men are among a handfull of Soanes in North and South Carolina. All others (to the best of my knowledge) were of one family - children of William and Sarah. To place Henry and Benjamin in this family is easy based on circumstantial evidence. The main ingredient against placing Henry therein is that he was alive at the death of William but not named in the Will. Such occurrences aren't uncommon, but are dissapointing to the genealogical researcher. A reason why a child is not named can have many explanations, including estrangement or perhaps his portion as heir was taken care of outside the provisions of the published Will. Benjamin may have died prior to the death of (father) William. Henry Hale SONES, SR's who follows in the next generation is circumstantially determined to be the son of Henry B SOANES; Benjamin, if a member of this family is also a potential father of Henry. Henry H.'s father was surely a brother to John - the son of William. Both Henry and Benjamin are names that follow in generations of Henry Hale SONES, SR's descendents. Extensive record of Henry begins below; remember that Henry B's connection is based on circumstantial evidence. Children of William & Sarah SOANE continue: 3) Francis SOANE (Census indicates female but spelling suggests male; other sources verify male.) 4) George SOANE George lived in STOKES County, North Carolina at the time of the 1800 Federal census with his wife and one son and one daughter. Children of William & Sarah SOANE continue: 5) Elizabeth SOANE 6) Benjamin SOANE* Benjamin served as a Matross (an antiquated term referring to a very low classification of artillery gunner) in South Carolina's Fourth Regiment during the Revolutionary War. See note above under Henry B. SOANE. Children of William & Sarah SOANE continue: 7) Stephen SOANE (or Steven) Stephen lived alone in Bertie County, North Carolina at the time of the 1800 Federal census where his name is given as Steven. Children of William & Sarah SOANE conclude: 8) Phereby SOANE born 1750 MY PERSONAL GUESS concerning Henry B. and Benjamin SOANE. I've suggested the hypothesis that one of these two men fathered Henry Hale SONES and that both are children of William. I believe Henry's middle name is Benjamin; these two men are one and the same. Unless evidence to the contrary arises, I believe this to be a reasonable working theory. Henry Hale SONES JR was the first of the SONES family to move southwest to Marion County Mississippi. He was moved by 1812, and made the trip with Francis Barnes LENOIR. A little later, John TYNER and William BRADFORD SONES made the move. Finally, Henry Hale SONES SR came about 1817. Henry SR remained in South Carolina until after 1815 to handle the estate of John SONES. Child 2 above: 2) Henry B. SONES born abt 1737 died after 1800 Probably Brunswick County, NC. married before 1761 (per Will of John Winn in Camden District, SC) sp) Naomi Clader VAUGHAN born 1736 Brunswick County, Virginia died 8 Jul 1819 High Hills, Santee on Rafting Creek, Sumter County, SC (age 83) Will probated 5 Feb 1821 Sumter, SC Details concerning Naomi Clader VAUGHAN continues below. This Henry B. SONES - the hypothetical father of Henry Hale SONES is recorded in the Federal Censuses of 1800 where we find TWO Henry SONES in the Southeastern United States. The one presumed to be the elder is found in Brunswick County, North Carolina. Possible brothers John (Martin County), George (Stokes County), and Steven (Bertie County) are also found in North Carolina. The other Henry - presumed to be the son of the elder Henry - is the only Sones found in the 1800 Federal Census in South Carolina: Reports include the following: Page 39 Brunswick County, NC (based on seeing the census page): Henry SONES: 1 male 26-45 1 male 45-up 2 females 26-45 1 female 45-up 4 slaves Page 573 Stokes County, NC (based on published index) George SONES: 1 male under 10 1 male 26-45 1 female 26-45 1 female over 45 Page 408 Martin County, NC (based on published index) John SONES: 1 male under 10 1 male 10-16 1 male 26-45 2 females under 10 1 female 10-16 1 female 16-26 1 female 26-45 Page 78 Bertie County, NC (based on published index) Steven SONES: 1 male 26-45 Page 887 Claremont County, SC (based on published index) Henry SONES: 1 male under 10 1 male 10-16 1 male 26-45 1 female under 10 2 females 10-16 1 female 16-26 Naomi Clader VAUGHAN is by: FATHER: Vinson VAUGHAN (the son of John VAUGHAN) born 1680 died 28 Jun 1748 Northampton District, NC MOTHER: Frances WADDILL born 2 May 1706 St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, VA died __________ NC Frances was daughter of William WADDILL, SR and Susannah __________.

This family had 4 children. Next he married a lady usually referred to as the sister of his first wife - Mary, from whom all remaining children were born. A third marriage has been spoken of but not confirmed and not probable according to my extensive research. See note concerning this matter (below) under John Horren SONES and second wife Martha Feraby EDWARDS. I would suggest that unless some evidence rises to indicate there was a third marriage, the possibility should be dropped entirely. I mention it here very reluctantly, and only because the first edition of this work (regrettably) spoke of it as a fact.

Follow this road for about 1 1/2 miles then Y to the left. Continue another 1.8 miles to a bridge, then 0.15 mile past the bridge, and turn RT onto paved road. Go 1.0 mile to a gas pipeline and turn LF. Proceed NE along the gas pipeline for about 0.2 mile to a fence with a "POSTED" sign. Cross fence, and by foot continue along pipeline for 85 paces, then enter the woods to the right (marked with a flagging tape in 1988 so very possibly missing. Angle RT into the woods about a 45 degree angle, and head east for 90 paces through the woods. Where the pine woods ends, the woods become very open, and just beyond this transition is the Cemetery. Fence is missing but 2 remaining fence posts suggest cemetery was about 50 ft long in the North-South direction and its width about the same. BLACKBURN CEMETERY according to Marion County Mississippi Cemeteries book by Stanley W. Arnold Jr and Louise Anderson. A very old cemetery, now totally destroyed. The only indication of its existence is a large oak tree which was planted at the head of the grave of the revolutionary soldier Tyner. LOCATION: NW 1/4 SI T4N R19W, south of Goss. Directions: From Highway 35 intersection, proceed north on Highway 13 for 4.1 miles, and turn right onto a dirt road (there is a stop sign for traffic coming off this dirt road and it directly opposite old Highway 13; if you pass Buckley Rd on the right, you've gone 0.1 mile too far).

His father: John LOTT Arthur LOTT served as a private in Mississippi's 13th Regiment - War of 1812. This makes a date closer to 1794 for Arthur LOTT's birth a probability. No children were born of Sarah & Arthur LOTT After the death of Sarah, Arthur married Harriot WHIDDON on 6 Jun 1831. After Arthur's death Harriot married a Pliny BLACK in Limestone County, TX. Arthur was no longer found on a Limestone County Tax List after 1846. Arthur's children with Harriot were: 1) Stephen F. LOTT born abt 1834 TX sp) M.

HARRIS born 1790 S.C. died 15 Dec 1831 Clinton, Hinds County, MS buried Private family cemetery of former MS Governor Leake, Clinton, Hinds, MS Occupation - Overseer. 1 known child born Harriet married second: 20 Jul 1834 Hinds County, MS sp #2) Hillery MOSELEY born 1798 VA died 1877 Hinds County, MS buried Clinton Cemetery, Hinds County, MS Hillery’s father: Francis Frank MOSELEY Third child born to Henry Hale SONES, SR & second wife – Mary: 7) John Horren SONES (farmer) born 1809 Sumter District, SC died About 1865 Rosefield, Catahoula, LA buried Lambert Cemetery, Rosefield area, Catahoula, LA The oldest son of John Horren and Martha Feraby SONES was John Benjamin, all buried in Lambert Cemetery. No other member of John Benjamin SONES' marriage family was buried in Lambert Cemetery. They are buried in Little Star Cemetery, in Holum, of Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, and this includes his wife – Emily Victoria METHVIN. Most of Lambert today is in shambles as it has not been kept up in years, and it is heavily hunted and timber cut. Few headstones are intact. We uncovered John Benjamin's headstone in a secluded area of the cemetery. Only one headstone was next to his, only inches away, and the indication is that they were placed together purposely. This other headstone is destroyed, but the base is much larger than John Benjamin's, which is more typical in size - estimated about 1-2 inches thick/ 18-24 inches wide/ 24-36 inches high. This accompanying headstone has a much larger base, indicative that this person next to him was of great significance. Another space next to that one is missing its headstone completely. It is reasonable to assume that these two are the graves of John Horren and Martha Feraby SONES. At least one child of Feraby’s first marriage is also buried in this old cemetery. I excavated the entire area around the grave looking for the headstone and found nothing of significant size by which to make a positive id. Another side note, I've chosen Horren as the middle name over the more conventional "Haren" or "Harren" because "Horren" is the spelling used by his father - Henry Hale SONES - in his Last Will & Testament, and if that's what his father wrote, it is a good bet that this is the correct and appropriate spelling, despite the probability that it is pronounced as with a strong southrn drawl "Haw-ren", and as the more nasal-Mississippi dialects took over from South Carolina-drawls it changed to "Har-ren." John Horren SONES married twice / first: 17 Jun 1834 Monticello, Lawrence County, MS sp #1) Hester FARRIS abt 1815 MS Her Father: Thomas FARRIS 2 known children born John Herron SONES married second: 23 Aug 1849 Methodist Episcopal Church - South Hinds County, MS Administered by Minister of the Gospel of said Church - L.S. SCOTT having been bonded by John Byrum on 20 Aug 1849. sp #2) Martha Feraby EDWARDS (Feraby) born 1818 AL buried Lambert Cemetery, Rosefield area, Catahoula Parish, LA 5 known children born Martha Feraby Edwards had two prior marriages First marriage: sp #1) Ervin HARRELSON. Hinds County Marriage Record indicates her name as Ferabey HARROLSON (misspelled). Feraby’s second marriage: 7 July 1849 Hinds County, MS sp #2) John C. O'NEAL Administered by William H. DEEN, Justice of the Peace. having been bonded by James B. Jordan on 7 Jul 1849. In the marriage to O'NEAL, her name is written Feraby Harralson (misspelled). It should be noted that prior to moving to Louisiana with John H. SONES, she was always referred to as Feraby (variant sp), and after the move is only called Martha or Martha Perilla ("Feraby" horribly mispelled by census taker). The time from the execution of her marriage to O'NEAL and the subsequent beginning of her marriage to SONES was an astonishing 48 days. Not only that, but she is called by the first married name - HARRELSON - in each of her subsequent marriages, giving no consideration to her second legal union. The marriages to O'NEAL and SONES were both bonded, performed, and turned in as executed and recorded. The information comes from Hinds County Marriage Records - Book 3, and are so close that they are numbers 81 and 85 respectively. Did O'NEAL die? I have the feeling that the John C. O’Neal living in the adjoining county of Simpson just a few miles south of Jackson (Hinds County where the marriage took place) during the 1860 Census – born abt 1818 is a reasonable match for the same man. Was the marriage annuled? There is no indication from my research through court records that anything of the sort happened. Is this a case of bigomy? Was this a major issue in the mid 19th Century? Times have certainly changed our discretionary actions in the past century in other areas of life and law. All questions and no answers from my end. I merely submit the data and the questions left over, and if anyone comes up with a substantiated resolution I'd like to use it in any subsequent edition of this work, should one be made. I'd like to bring up a related subject here to the name "Feraby." I think it is possible that the name "Feraby" is the source for the rumor among the Louisiana SONES descendents of John Horren that his mother - Henry Hale SONES wife - was named "Fabia" or some variant thereof. The names are quite similar, but there is no substantiating whatsoever in my research that Henry had any acquaintance or matrimonial bond with a woman named Fabia. Interesting fact: July 30, 1860 Lawrence County, MS Census - Monticello Post Office: Dwelling 269 - Family 270 SONES, J.H. (no age) male - alone Aug 13, 1860 Catahoula Parish Census, LA - Pine Woods; Rosefield Post Office: Dwelling 591 - Family 577 SONES, J.H. (50) male - SC - Planter Perilla (42) female - AL Sarah (16) female – MS J.B. (8) male - LA Laurence (6) - male - LA Martha (3) - female - LA HARRELSON, Charles (18) - male - MS Just conjecture on my part, but more than likely John's wife just gave the Census taker the information on the family whether the individuals were at home or not. John appears to be the only SONES in the earliest days of the family in southern Mississippi to have ties in Lawrence County. In the 1830 Federal Census he is found there as Head of Household of a Single Family Dwelling (living alone). Four years later (1834) he was still living there, and married his first wife - Hester FARRIS. Noteworthy in the Catahoula Parish 1860 census, is that Charles HARRELSON is the only child left at home from her first marriage to Ervin HARRELSON. The older brothers - John Ervin & George Washington have moved out. Sarah is from John Horren's first marriage to Hester FARRIS, and her older brother Andrew Sidney has moved out. He is found at: Wallace Ridge; Trinity Post Office; Catahoula Parish Dwelling 260 Family 250: SONES, Sidney (25) male - MS - Laborer Sarah (17) female - LA Mary (4) female - LA In the 1870 Catahoula Federal Census, Sydney has remarried Eliza GUILFORD and is still found working for the CAGLE family four houses down from where Eliza lives in Trinity Community as follows: Dwelling 1 Family 1: SONES, A.S. 35 Farmer born MS CAGLE, William 43 Farmer born MS CAGLE, Nancy 35 Keeping house CAGLE, Kesiah 15 (dau) CAGLE, Susan 13 (dau) CAGLE, R.E. 11 (dau) CAGLE, M.

SONES married 22 Jul 1841 Marion County, MS sp) Elizabeth FLETCHER The situation in Marion and adjoining counties in Mississippi is reversed from most all areas of the United States. During the early 1800s the Sones family dominated the area and Jones were a minority, making the mispelling of Sones for Jones a common occurance.

The second marriage took place on 29 Oct 1896 at her home near Rosefield in Catahoula Parish, LA. Her new spouse was Arthur B. PRUDHOMME, born in May, 1833 LA. Arthur's father was an immigrant from France & his mother from LA. This was a very short marriage. I do not know if it ended in divorce or permanent separation, but by 1900 Emily lived separately with Willis & Iler. (Ella & Maggie had taken husbands the year earlier).The 1900 Census reports that Emily had given birth to 4 children - all alive. In 1901 Emily gave birth to Meg SONES who died soon after, for the 1910 census records her as having given birth to 5 children - 4 alive. By 1900, Emily had taken back her deceased husband's name and the census reports her as a widow. Her headstone also gives her name as Emily V. SONES. Who Meg SONES' father was is unknown.

I have a copy of the marriage certificate and in one place the initial is clearly a "Y", and in the other two places is a "Y" completely above the line of the signature, which gives the impression it is a strange "G". If this family shows up in any other place herein as the head being W.G. mayfield, it is an uncorrected mistake. 1 child of WY & Jane MAYFIELD: 1) John Routon MAYFIELD (Routon; pronounced Rouwtin) born 1895 Catahoula Parish, LA Routon is found living with the Jefferson Davis SONES family in the 1910 Census, and no record of either parent from my search. He was not with Jeff SONES in 1900, so it is probable that both parents died between 1900-1910. John continued living with the SONES family for the 1920 census. He is believed to have died in WWI.

Thanks for all your work. When my Uncle Harry died, his widow gave me a box of geanological material he was working on, presuming that I would be the person to carry on his work. I have researched a little here and there....New York Public Library, some graveyards in England,.....but never had the time to give from a busy medical practice, so I was very happy a few years ago to find you had done what I always intended to do.
