Sketches Of Tennessee's Pioneer Baptist Preachers LAYMAN JONES(pages 265 - 266)lists the following: Layman Jones was born October 1, 1803, in Sevier County, Tenn. He was a son of John Jones. His mother was a Layman, sister of "old Daniel Layman," for whom the nephew was named. From the family Bible we get this additional information: He was married to Rebecca Henry, November 25, 1824. After preaching four years he was "ordained a minister of the gospel, November 14, 1830; died August 8, 1845." I am looking for this Bible of Layman Jones to see if his children are listed therein. Could this be the father of my David V. Jones (12 Nov 1831-22 May 1904) who married Barbara Altemire Brimer (3 Sep 1835-28 Jul 1891) on 3 Nov 1853? Is there mention of another child Ira H. Jones (b. 11 May 1838-11 Apr 1914)? If you have any information at all, I would love to hear from you Thank You. Chris Lewis joannelewis2@msn.com
