David Jones (son of Robert Jones III and Martha Riley) was born January 25, 1761 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died February 07, 1838 in Cooper County, Missouri. He married Jane Ruble on 1779.
Burial: William Reed Cemetery, Cooper, Missouri
GSF#851647 lists him as signing bond for Lavinah's marriage in Madison Co, KY. I assume he is her father. The other kids listed are people named Jones, married in Madison Co, KY about the same time as Lavinah, with David listed on marriage record. GSF#8126 taxpayer lists shows him every year from 1797 to 1811. There are two in 1807. There is a male between 16 and 21 from 1804 to 1808. 1810 census, Madison, KY lists male 10 to 16 and male over 45. Two females under 10, two females 10 to 16, one female 16 to 26, one 26 to 45, and one over 45. 1850 census, Cooper, MO lists what appear to be several kids or grandkids including Elizabeth Turley, David, Abram, 70 NC, Jacob, 45 KY, John, 30 MO. also some other Turleys. 1830 Census lists him near Wyatt Jones 20-30, David Jones 30-40, Abraham Jones 40-50, Nancy Jones 50-60, Lewis Jones 40-50, Steven Turley, and several Reeds. He is not on 1840 census, but there are several Jones's in Cooper CO, MO including L.L 20-30, James 30-40, Henry 40-50, Hayden 50-60, Abraham 50-60, Jabez 30-40, Abram 20-30, David 40-50, Nancy 50-60, and Lester 20-30. AF lists David Jones married to Jane Ruble with kids, but not Lavinah, Anne, or David. Marriage date was 1789 or 1790 in Madison, KY, but this is apparently incorrect. The book Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Missouri, printed 1966, also has this date and place. I can find no record of the marriage, but there is a marriage of David Jones and Rebecca Rutherford on 4 Feb 1790 in Nelson, KY. William Scoggins has a copy of a letter from David's son Jesse stating that his parents were married when 16 and 18 years of age or 1779. This is consistent with the birth dates of the children. There is a Land grant for David Jones in KY in 1781 GSF#7811, but there are other David Jones and it seems a little early for him if Eliza was really born in VA.
