Possible good resource -- "Keepin' Up With The Joneses," pub. 1989 by Mrs. Kathleen Rollins, Wickliffe, KY. Perhaps you can locate a copy via your reference librarian.

Per authoress, William B. Jones married Miss Emily Wharton on 10 Aug 1830 in Garrard Co. KY. Because the Jones name is so very common, tracing specific ancestors can present enormous problems for the genealogist. However, per review in "The Genealogical Helper" magazine, this book "does a fine job of tracing their descendants to some 18 other states, from Michigan to California. There are many photographs, a great deal of family information and some fine profiles of individual family members."

Some collateral surnames include Falk, Schmidt, Hunt, Karesh, Laird, Rollins, and Slaughter.

Hope this "snippet" provides just the right clue to a Jones researcher.
