In Drewry Brewer's Will, (father-in-law) it states:
9th Item. I give unto my daughter Hetty, wife of Thomas Jones one negro man named Elijah, one negro woman named Judy as her share of my estate.
Thomas' mother moved to Illinois where her daughter had moved - they were the first settlers of Marion County, IL. Thomas rode all the way back to Georgia to get his bride. A minister with a wonderful singing voice. Died when he or someone cutting a tree, it fell on him.
(He may not be buried in the Old Jones Cemetery but new sources say that he was buried with his Mother, Mary Whaley Jones, in Marion County IL.) That cemetery is so old and overgrown that it is hard to get to and some of the stones have sunken into the ground. His Son and Daughter-in-Law are buried here. The cemetery used to be next to a Baptist Church which is long gone. It's fenced off with barbed wire and the pasture around it had Brahama bulls when we went to see it.)
