Chamber
of Commerce - Jones County History
"I reside a mile north of Gray in Jones County, and will be happy to answer questions about Gray and the community of Jones County. I'm not a historian though. Gray is 16 miles north of Macon on US 129. It's about 18 miles southwest of Milledgeville. Our Probate Judge is Mike Green and his office is located in the Jones County Courthouse (There is also a Jones County Government Center 1 mile north of Gray on GA Hwy 11 that holds other government offices).

JARRELL
PLANTATION
The B&B on the Jarrell Plantation site
is wonderful. Phillip and Amelia Haynes are the caretakers and live in
the home and have great hospitality. They really enjoy genealogy and the
Plantation staff can really assist those in search of Jones County history
... The home is the site of our annual Jarrell Family Reunion in the fall
... Meredith Plantation about 15 - 20 miles from Gray but still in Jones
County.
PIEDMONT
NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE
We stayed in Macon and it was a very short
trip to Gray. In the library [Washington Memorial] in Macon, we looked
at maps of the area. It did have [land] lot numbers but it was difficult
to pinpoint a particular area. The people there were very patient and helpful.
A beautiful city to boot.
