1. Amy Winstead <eawinsted@earthlink.net> reports that Enoch moved to Texas after his father died.
2. Richard Jones writes the following:
James Pinkey Dumas, had surveyed a little town called Dallas. When finished he was asked if he wanted to be paid in money or in lots in the new town. He said he would take the money because he didn't think the little town would amount to anything.
He was a partner in cattle ranching with Enoch Madison Jones, my great great grandfather. They had a 1000 head of cattle and 100 horses before the Civil War. I guess the war took everything. Enoch Madison Jones was married to Margaret Ann Thompson. Margaret was born in Tennessee and had a brother named John S. Thompson who married Nancy Jones the sister of Enoch M. Jones. Their parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Jones, both born in South Carolina. Another daughter of Robert Thompson, Elenor J. Thompson married Thomas Jones, Jr. and they lived in Rusk County, Texas.
I know they had 2539 acres of land in Tarrant County, Texas together. Also Elizabeth Jones gave both a piece of property in Grayson County, Texas. It seems like both had a lot of land together and a lot by themselves.
J. P. Dumas also started a seed company to sell Osage Orange tree seeds, using them for fence posts. Not sure what happened to that company. Enoch had a Livery Stable and home in Sherman, Texas. It burned down when a fire was started in a general store next to it 24 Aug 1856. He must have built it back because the Overland Stage Coach Company used the Jones stable in 1858.3. Enoch, his wife Margaret, children William T., Nancy, and his mother Elizabeth were enrolled in Robertson Colony Texas February 16, 1836.
4. Enoch was wounded while chasing an Indian raiding party following the Morgan Massacre near Marlin, Texas.
5. Enoch was a farmer/rancher and businessman. He was a very large land owner. He served in Sterling C. Robertson's Co Rangers in 1836 in the War With Mexico.

7. Enoch was a member of the Texas Minute Men, TX Co "K" 22nd Cav. and held rank of Captain at the time of his death near Bean's Creek, East of Jacksboro, Texas, at the hands of a band of (32) Indians who also murdered one of his sons [Probably William G.], and two negroes. [There surely had to be a survivor to have related this information]
8. 17 Dec 1850 Census...shows both Enoch & Margaret 36 years old...thus 1814 would be her birth year also.
9. 20 Jun 1860 Census...Shows Enoch's age 46...Margaret's 48, which would make her born in 1812.
10. 20 Jul 1870 Census...Shows Margaret 46 or born in 1824. (?)
11. The 6 Oct 1866 Dallas Herald Newspaper relates death of Enoch, a son, and two negroes at Beans Creek, some 11 miles East of Jacksboro, Jack County, Texas. No burial information available.
12. Enoch (Eneck) was a member of Lodge No 117 of Sherman, Texas.
13. Much information from McLean Papers...Robertson's Colony in Texas.
14. Greatful thanks to Kathleen R. Clark and her fine research.
15. Enoch lived 52 years, 4 months, & 21 days.
16. Enoch Madison Jones was the Great Great Grandfather of this writer, Earl L. Jones.
17. The date of death may be 6 Sep 1866
1. Peggy apparently was not formally educated because she signed all documents with her "X".
2. Another source shows her year of birth as 1812...in Illinois or Tennessee. [There was a surveying dispute between Kentucky and Tennessee about the 36th degree 30' line and Kentucky finally accepted the Walker line of todays maps in 1820...this may be why Eleanor and Margaret Thompson are shown to have been born in Tennessee. See maps that explain the 1790, 1800, & 1810 boundries.]
3. Just a thought....Could Wm. Stinson have married "Peggy" after Enoch's death? He sure shows up a lot in the censuses around her. He was also involved in the petition for letters of Administrations (1867), Mary A. Jones vs Estate of E. M. Jones.
1. Nancy probably died young.
1. Alternate year of birth: 1831 or 1832
1. Alternate spelling last name..."COCKRUM"...
2. 1850 Census shows Henry was born in Missouri...
3. June 1900 Census of Indian Territory, Chickasaw Nation, shows that Henry may have been born in or at least was from Kentucky.
4. According to the account in the book by Richard B. McCaslin: "TAINTED BREEZE", Henry was hanged in The Great Hanging at Gainesville, Texas 1862.
1. Obituary in the Ada Evening News of 12 Apr 1906 stated she was 99 years old...If that is true she was born in 1807.
2. She was either born in or was from Illinois or Kentucky.
3. Alternate Source of Information from Ruth Sheppard shows birth date of 6 Mar 1820 in TN or KY.
1. This writer has a question as to the actual names & births of Sidney & Lucinda, since Ruth Sheppard sent this information to Clarence McCurry and it was then forwarded on to Richard Jones who then sent it to me, Earl L.Jones.
2. (Maybe they are the same person)
1. Information from records of Kathleen Rose Clark, Norman, Oklahoma, Microfiche records for Jones in Illinois, of the Genealogical Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints...Will & Probate...
2. Thomas & Elizabeth came to Christian County, Ky. in 1799 where they lived on Blue Lick off East Fork of Pond River until 1815 when the family moved to Crawford County, Illinois, territory they were listed in 1820 Crawford County, Illinois Census 047 Page of Microfilm, no TWP listed...[Fort Lamotte...now Palestine] Later moved to Edgar County and lived at or near Grandview.
3. He later sold the Kentucky land to William Bonner.
4. He was a farmer.
5. He was member of Christ Church at Charleston, S.C. One record shows him from Duplin, N.C. He moved to Texas, settling near Mt. Enterprise in Rusk County. [When Daniel Parker established the Pilgrim Chruch & went to Texas, the whole congegation went also] They went down to Detroit Trace to Kaskaska, crossed the river then went down the old military road (US 67) to Louisiana (probably Claiborne Parish) where Morgan Morgan passed away. These people crossed over into Texas at or near present day Logansport, Louisiana. From there they scattered all over, later moved to Christian County, Kentucky, and even later moved to Edgar County, Illinois where Thomas died in 1829. After his death most of the family moved to Texas.
6. Richard Jones has dug up information that looks like the father of Thomas Jones II, was Thomas Jones I, the son of Enoch Jones who's wife was Mary. Enoch & Mary had at least four children: Thomas I, Cadwaladar, Asa, & James.
1. Signed in Rusk County, Texas on 28 May 1851 Property Deed Book "A" , 1845-1857, Panola County, Texas Elizabeth sold some land to Aliza Allred.
2. She turned her land over to Enoch and Dumas in 1852.
1. Robert currently lives in Katy, Texas.
