Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH] Most Wanted: John Wilburn JONES
My great-great-grandfather John Wilburn JONES,(b.1834 KY) was married in 1857 in
Solano Co CA to Louisa Jane W BLACK. He apparently came to CA without any
family. He was born in KY and in census records listed his parents as born in
SC. I have no information at all on his family. He named his sons John Jr. and
Charles Edwin (after his wife's brother). They moved to Tulare Co by 1880. They
had seven children (Amanda, Stacia Emma, Dora, Charles Edwin, John Wilburn Jr.,
Dardie L, and May L). I have checked Solano Co census records and he is not
related to any of the Jones' there. No relatives in Tulare Co either. Can anyone
help? I have a lot of info on Louisa's family. Her father was Andrew W Black
(b.1812 VA) who came to CA after 1850 via KY and MO. Cheri Astrahan
