Hi,

Regarding Samuel Fones and Hannah Briggs, I don't know anything of their background. The only references I have found locate them in North Kingston Rhode Island in 1760 when they apparently married. I do know my ggg grandparents William Fones and Dorcas Sherman settled in New York. Do you have any details of where Samuel and Hannah may have lived or anything about their children?

Many thanks
Karen Kestigian

G'day,

My ggg grandparents were William Fones and Dorcas Sherman.
I would like to verify the parents of William Fones and his wife Dorcas Sherman.

William Fones was born 1764 Rhode Island possibly Nth Kingston. He married Dorcas Sherman about 1789 in Easton, New York and died Wales Center 1839.

I have narrowed the possibilities of his parents to: Samuel Fones and Hannah Briggs and/or
Daniel Fones and Mercy Remmington.
Can anyone please assist me in identifying who his parents were?

I have not been able to identify Dorcas Sherman's parents. One reference stated she was Irish - I have not been able to verify this information.

Many thanks for this opportunity and the time you have given in reading my email. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards from the Land DownUnder

William Fones & Dorcas Sherman

karkestigian — 2009-05-24 22:19:07Z

Good-Day Everyone,
I am trying to solve the riddle of who is who!!

My ggg grandparents were William Fones and Dorcas Sherman.

William Fones
born: 1764 North Kingston Rhode Island
married: Dorcas Sherman 1789 Easton, New York
died: 1839 Wales Center, New York

I would like to verify the parents of William Fones and his wife, Dorcas Sherman.

For William I have narrowed the possibilities to:
Samuel Fones and Hannah Briggs - married 1760 Rhode Island and/or
Daniel Fones and Mercy Remmington - I have no date for their marriage.

The only information I have for Dorcas Sherman is that she may have been Irish??

Many thanks for this opportunity and the time you have given in reading my email. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards from DownUnder

I have a Joseph Edgar 'Ed' Fones who may be part of your family. His birth was either Nov 1876 or 30 October 1877. These dates have appeared in many places. However, he is buried in Council Grove, Kansas. Story is that he was born there too but one census states Missouri. Joseph married Emma Edith Hickman and she is from my family.

F. Emily FONES b 1849 VA [W5,A6,7]

I have organized a Family Tree for the FONES I found in Richmond and Westmoreland Co, VA, and it looks to me like the only place this James M FONES b 1817 would "fit" is in this family:

Charles FONES, Jr b c1780; m 10 Feb 1807 Westmoreland Co, VA Elinor MUSE b 1775-83

I don't know what happened to them after 1829 - did they move to Fauquier or Alexandria?

A. male b 1804-10 [R12]
B. female b 1804-10 [R12]
C. male b 1810-20 [R2]
D. female b 1810-20 [R2]
E. male b 1810-20 [R2] - this would be James M b 1817
F. female b 1810-20 [R2]

The above Charles FONES is son of Charles FONES c1740-1809 and Bathsheba BARTLETT

I am looking for the children of Joseph Fones and Emma Edith Hickman. I have a very very large family tree for decendents going back to 1731 in this country. This is through Emma Hickman.

Linda Doile Morris

Joseph Edgar Fones

Conib1049 — 2006-05-27 05:06:42Z

I think Joseph was born in Missouri. Do not know that. He did however marry Edith Emma Hickman in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas and their first child, Mamie was bron in Council Grove. The family had five children born in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. I am looking very very hard for all of them but the timing was wrong for much on the census. By 1910 their second son Theodore had custody of the three youngest children and the parents were presumed dead. That was in Council Grove also. Please if you know of any of the following children, please write to me. I have a tree through their mother that goes back to 1731 in this country. I would love to give it to them.
Mamie b. 1898
Thedore Edgar b. 1902
Earnest b. 1907
Elsie b. 1910
Marvel 1907

Now the dates vary by which census you look at so these are only guesses.

Thank you very very much.

Hi,

I just came across you query about the Cole and Fones family connections. My ggggrandfather was William Fones born in Nth Kingston RI - he fought in the Revolutionary War and his friend and neighbour was John Fones. After the war they left RI and went to Erie Co NY. William Fones married Dorcas Sherman and two of their daughters married Cole boys. One of those boys was Benjamin Cole. If you want more precise information I can send you what I have on the marriages etc. I think we might have a match!

Kindest regards Karen Kestigian

PS: William Fones is buried in Wales Centre Cemetery along with John Fones - they are the only two Revolutionary soldiers there.

Re: WILLIAM FONES and DORCAS SHERMAN

karkestigian — 2008-06-27 13:21:36Z

Hi Melissa,

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me which of the children your grandmother descended from, please? That would help with the family tree I am putting together. So far I have managed to find a descendants from the following children of William and Dorcas - John, Dewey and Lyman Fones (Lyman is my gggrandfather). Does the research you have contain who the children married? I can help you with that information. William Fones is buried in Wales Centre NY. I also have his war records.

My email address is: mkkestigian@beyondtech.net

I live in Australia - Lyman's son Samuel (my ggrandfather) ran away to sea at an early age - he was on the whaling ships. He jumped ship in Australia in 1843, eventually married and had a family. Then around 1898 he returned to his brother James K Fones in Kansas and later died in the US but I have not been able to find him as yet!

All the very best wishes from DownUnder.

Regards Karen

parents for quite sometime now and also any siblings he may have??!! It was a stab in the dark for me regarding Samuel Fones and Hannah Briggs - I would appreciate any assistance you can offer. I received another report for (my) William Fones that his parents were Daniel Fones and Mercy Remmington but have never been able to reconcile this with any real verification. Again thank you for contacting me and I look forward to exchanges information with you. Warm Regards from DownUnder

Seeking further information on John FONES. According to the 1900 Cook County, Thornton Township, City of Harvey, John was born April 1840 in New York & so were his parents. He died before 1910. He married Mary Adeline MINNIUM CHAPMAN about 1899. She was born May 20, 1852 in Brown County, Illinois. She died Dec. 10, 1926 in Auburn, Sangamon County, IL. She was buried in the Auburn Cemetery, Auburn, IL. I believe beside her husband John. It is unknown if they had children.
Mary Adeline's parents were John A. and Hannah HETRICK MINNIUM. They were both born in PA. Mary's first husband was Samuel V. CHAPMAN 1846-1887. They had 5 children: May, Cora, Arvilla, Artilla, Wallace. It is unknown what happened to the children except Artilla married Jacob H. FOSTER in 1892 Cass Co. IL.
Mary Adeline's mother was later married to Pleasant W. REDDICK.
If any of this sounds remotely familiar please reply.
Thanks,
Judi

I saw your message you posted quiet awhile ago and can help you out a bit on the Fones family line. I am not sure if you need this info still or not.

William Fones born September 18th 1764 at North Kingston, R.I., is the son of Samuel Fones born December 17th 1739 died Jan. 5th 1789, his mother was Hannah Briggs. I know they were married April 26th 1760.

Re: WILLIAM FONES and DORCAS SHERMAN

melchatterson — 2008-06-26 20:12:49Z

Hello,

I wish I could be of more help. I can tell you that the names of William and Dorcas' children do match with the list of names that I have as well. So it would make sense that Samuel Fones and Hannah Brigss to be the correct names you were looking for. Unfortunately, I just got all of this information yesterday from my grandparents house and the research ended at Sameul and Hannah. If I come across anymore information I will pass it along for you. My grandmother did this research many years ago trying to prove lineage to the Revolutionary War.

Best Wishes,

Thanks for replying. My father was Reginald Thomas Byrne Fone who married Abbie Maria Tice in the US.His father George Rowland Thomas Fone, m.

Various records as I imagine you know, trace the Fone.Fones/ Fownes family back almost to the Conqueror gping back to the presumed first "Fone" William Fone of Saxby or Saphy mentioned in Suffolk Manorial Families and in the Somerville Pedigree in is it Burke's or Debretts "Landed Gentry." While I can therefore find presumptive ancestors in the late 17th century--a Thomas Fone/ Fownes in Plymouth for example c 1620-- the link I cannot locate is the father of Thomas Fone of Bristol, and his father so as to connect them with the well docuemnted earlier bearers of the name.

Re: Fones (Fownes) Family Web Site - Bartlett FONES

jimbartlett1 — 2009-03-16 19:47:24Z

Charles FONES m c1758 Bathsheba BARTLETT b c1740. Bathsheba was the daugher of Thomas BARTLETT c1705-1783 of Richmond Co, VA. The earliest of Thomas's children were born to Thomas & Elizabeth BARTLETT in the 1720s, per the North Farnham Parish Register. When Thomas wrote his will in 1767 he listed his wife as Catherine. The first 5 children of Thomas, at least up through Thomas Jr in 1732, all named a daughter and had granddaughters named Elizabeth, and NONE named Catherine. The last child, Elisha BARTLETT, probably born about 1844 named a daugher Catherine. So I think Catherine may have been the mother of the last few children of Thomas - I think the last four are Mary b c1736 m Thomas SCOTT; Bathsheba b c1740 m Charles FONES; Sarah b c1742 m Joseph SCATES and finally Elisha b c1744. So Bathsheba is on the borderline - and she had no children named either Elizabeth or Catherine to give us a clue. Neither can I find a granddaugher named Elizabeth or Catherine.

I am trying to trace a female line back to Bathsheba and her mother (Elizabeth or Catherine), but on the FONES website there are only sons and Letty... (if we can trace a female line we can use an mtDNA test of a living person which would be the same mtDNA as Bathsheba and her mother; and I'm also trying to do the same thing on the Sarah BARTLETT SCATES line)

In my records I have a Bartlett FONES (female) b 1784-94; m 7 Oct 1807 Westmoreland Co, VA Thomas SANDERS. I don't see Bartlett FONES on the FONES Website. Have you ever seen any info on a Bartlett FONES? There are 2 Thomas SANDERS in Richmond Co, VA records - hard to trace - but by 1850 Thomas SANDERS has a different wife... Some of Bathsheba's other children married in Westmoreland Co, VA, too. Do you think Bartlett FONES is part of your FONES?

Thanks again for a great website.

Hi Judi,

I am writing to you from Australia. I am also a descendant of the Fones Family. In reading your posting I thought we might have a
connection as members of my family were in New York and went to Illinois and surrounding states.

There is a John Fones included in this group. Do you have any information on grand parents and g grandparents of your John Fones - we might find the connection there. My ggggrandfather was William fones born in Nth Kingston RI - who left with his wife and settled in New York - his eldest son was John Fones.

Look forward top hearing from you
Kindest regards from DownUnder

Some Fones Family moved from the United Kingdom to South America. My great grandfather arrived to Buenos Aires, Argentina, from Stourport. His name was Guy Walter Fones Martin and was married to Clara Stone. They belong to the fones fanily of Birmingham.
I want to find my UK ancestors

You might want to look at Bruce Fones' website at http://www.fones.org/. He has a lot of information.

Hope this helps!
