Hi, I think the Eleanor Jones listed below might be Shadrick's wife:

Coshocton County, Ohio Marriage and Will Records, compiled by Helen Meredith.

pg 357
JONES, John Dated Aug. 22, 1828, Perry Twp.
Wife Patty "my messuage house and the farm, "also my first wife's saddle." To Robert Jones. "--my wife's dau. Elenor Jones Lemcox (Simcox?) To John Jones' heirs, John Jones, Robert Jones and Samuel Jones. Dau. Hannah Kincaid. To Sally Leiper. To Patty McCready. Grson, John Jones McVey. To Elizabeth Jones McVey, dau. of Henry "When she comes of age." Children: Hannah Kincaid, Sally Leiper, Elizabeth McConahay, Polly McVey and Patty McCready.
Execs. wife Patty Jones and Henry McVey
Wts. J. W. Pigman, Henry Divan and Jacob Thrake
Prob. Nov. 29, 1829

John Jones resided in Cross Creek, Washington County, PA 1800-1810, where Shadrick and Eleanor can be found also, at least up until 1806 or so. I guess my main question is who's daughter was she? Robert's or John's? The way the will is worded it almost sounds like John married his brother Robert's wife. I did find a Robert and John Jones in Chester County, 1790, living very near each other, which is where Shadrick and Eleanor were married.

John Jones also had a son, John Jr. who lived "next door" to him in 1810. On October 12, 1812, one of these John's along with a Joseph Jones (my husband's 3rd gen ggrandfather) purchased land in Perry Twp, Coshocton County, OH (range 9 township 5 section 19). The Henry McVey mentioned above also settled there.

Just to muddy the waters a bit more, 1820 Perry Twp, Coshocton County census shows Joseph (born 1783/MD) and family residing alongside a Robert Jones, age 45 and up, another male age 45 and up and 1 female age 26 and under 45. No sign of John, unless he's the unknown male.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone researching along these lines.

Diane
