Hi Sue,
My James Jones was born abt 1760-65 and his wife was Charity, b. 1775. Their first 7 children were born in NC, then they moved to Warren Co. Tenn sometime between 1808 and 1811 and stayed there . My Joneses are still there. I haven't been able to find where in NC they came from. The children were Arick(Eurica), Bethina, Sarah(Sally), Isaac, matthew, Alsey(my GGG-GF), Mark, John C., Zachariah, and William B. They were and still are members of the Church of Christ in Tenn. Alsey married Melvina(Vinnie) Gillimoore (Moore). I think the Jones, Gillimore, Mullican and Lewis families may have moved to Tenn together. Do any of these names sound familiar to you?

THE MIGRATION OF THE PEOPLES
Inhabitants flock in here daily, mostly from Pensilvania and other parts of America, who are overstocked with people and some directly from Europe, they commonly seat themselves towards the West, and have got near the mountains.
GABRIEL JOHNSTON, Governor of North Carolina, to the Secretary of the Board of Trade, February 15, 1751. "AT the opening of the eighteenth century the tide of population had swept inland to the "fall line," the westward boundary of the established settlements. The actual frontier had been advanced by the more aggressive pioneers to within fifty miles of the Blue Ridge. So rapid was the settlement in North Carolina that in the interval 1717/32 the population quadrupled in numbers. A map of the colonial settlements in 1725 reveals a narrow strip of populated land along the Atlantic coast, of irregular indentation, with occasional isolated nuclei of settlements further in the interior. The civilization thus established continued to maintain a close and unbroken communication with England and the Continent."......................."In the year 1746 I was up in the country that is now Anson, Orange and Rowan Counties, there was not then above one hundred fighting men there is now at least three thousand for the most part Irish Protestants and Germans and dailey increasing. " " MATTHEW ROWAN, President of the North Carolina Council, to the Board of Trade, June 28, 1753. " THE conquest of the West is usually attributed to the ready initiative, the stern selfreliance, and the libertarian instinct of the expert backwoodsmen. These bold, nomadic spirits were animated by an unquenchable desire to plunge into the wilderness in search of an El Dorado at the outer verge of civilization, free of taxation, quitrents, and the law's restraint. They longed to build homes for themselves and their descendants in a limitless, free domain; or else to fare deeper and deeper into the trackless forests in search of adventure. "
"THE two streams of Ulstermen, the greater through Philadelphia, the lesser through Charleston, which poured into the Carolinas toward the middle of the century, quickly flooded the back country. The former occupied the Yadkin Valley and the region to the westward, the latter the Waxhaws and the Anson County region to the northwest"
Far from the bustle of the world, they live in the most delightful climate, and richest soil imaginable; they are everywhere surrounded with beautiful prospects and sylvan scenes; lofty mountains, transparent streams, falls of water, rich valleys, and majestic woods; the whole interspersed with an infinite variety of flowering shrubs, constitute the landscape surrounding them; they are subject to few diseases; are generally robust; and live in perfect liberty; they are ignorant of want and acquainted with but few vices. Their inexperience of the elegancies of life precludes any regret that they possess not the means of enjoying them, but they possess what many princes would give half their dominion for, health, content, and tranquillity of mind.
