I descend from a line of Joseph McAfee Jaynes, the earliest being born in Mississippi around 1825. I was unable to find his previous ancestors until stumbling upon Robert Lowry's History of Mississippi (coincidentally, another one of my ancestors) who claims that Joseph Jayne and his brother William descend from Anselm Jayne, one of the founders of Mississippi. However, after further research I have come across several sites and family trees that name William McAfee Jayne as the only child from the marriage of Anselm H. Jayne and Elizabeth McAfee, causing some confusion.
Has anyone come across any information on this line of Joseph M. Jaynes? Is this connection accurate?
