Now I want to walk to that graveyard myself, well, with Poppy, and read Amos Jones headstone, if we can find it . Poppy said that several of the stones have fallen over. Thank you for looking at ancestry.com and leaving me another comment. I've been grocery shopping and did not take time to look at anything this morning.

Amos Jones, was a magistrate, a local preacher, a farm... He was a very original character; followed his own convictions decidedly and independently; was strong in physical constitution and in mind. Yet in his nature he was very passionate. . . weeping often in his preaching. He lived seventy-five years and died within three feet of the spot where he was born, in Franklin county, N.C." There's no telling if this is the right Rev. Amos Jones, but the facts support what little I know from your post. It's taken from a book. His son moved to Tennessee and this information was part of an entry about the son, Rev. A. W. Jones. Perhaps the tombstone is for yet another Rev. Amos Jones who lived before these two men.Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309987428045299558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-11621473778158933562015-05-06T03:46:18.078-07:002015-05-06T03:46:18.078-07:00That's funny about Ben watching wildlife shows...That's funny about Ben watching wildlife shows.

We've taken pictures at lots of cemeteries. If you did a rubbing of the headstones, I bet a lot of the writing would show up. I love to look around at the old tombstones every time I'm in a cemetery. Even when I go to put flowers on my parents' graves, I have to take a walk and look at stones.
