I am trying to find my line of Joneses. My gg grandfather John Henry Jones was said to be born in Georgia and moved to Mississippi around the 1830's. I am trying to find out who his parents were and if he had any previous marriages. There was quite an age difference between him and my gg grandmother so earlier marriages are possible. Here's what we have so far:

John Henry Jones born August 1809, GA
died October 22, 1901 MS
Married
Mary Eleanor Sheehorn (Shehorn)
born Jan. 22, 1835
died October 1908
they married around 1850 Lafayette Springs, Lafayette County, MS and both are buried at Liberty Hill Cemetery in Lafayette Co., MS

Children of John Henry Jones
(not sure if all of these are by Mary Eleanor Shehorn)

Louisia married Mack Morgan
Jo Ella married Jack Mayhew
Jenny married Mamon Jones
Eliza married Henry Lawhorn
Francis Lafayette (Dr) b March 26, 1851 Lafayette Co, Oxford, MS married Julie Aldridge
Mary Montie born November 11, 1853, Lafayette Co., Oxford, MS married Isaac S Brown
Thomas Newton born 1858 died as an infant
John Henry Jones born June 20, 1860 Lafayette County, Oxford, MS married Julie Brevard and moved to Texas
Ada Lenora (twin) born June 3, 1872 Lafayette Co, Oxford, MS died as a teenager
Amos Kendel (twin) born June 3, 1872 Lafayette Co. Oxford, MS married first to Elizabeth Cordelia Goolsby December 22, 1896 at Liberty Hill and married 2nd to her sister Etta Annalee Goolsby December 31, 1929. Elizabeth is buried with Amos Kendel Jones at Liberty Hill Cemetery and Etta is buried at Cyprus Creek Cemetery, Lafayette Co., MS.

Would appreciate any info on this line of Joneses.
