JONES posted by Ken Jones on Saturday, February 14, 1998

I am trying to locate the parents of James Riley JONES, my great-grandfather. He enlisted in the Civil War from Jackson, MI. He was born April 15, 1845, his parents were of English and Welsh descent. His early Civil War papers list him as being born in Geauga Co. His Pension papers list him as being born in Painesville, Ohio which I understand is in Lake Cty. However, Lake Cty has no record of him in their census reports. I believe his father was a James Jones B. 1818 from England but am not sure. Any help or leads would be appreciated. Thank you.
