Documentation:
* On the 1850 Georgia Muscogee Census a Mrs. JONES is listed "next door" to Jesse NELSON. She is 55 and there is no record of birth place for her or her sons David, Ebenezer and John W. They are of military age.
* I found a David JONES and Ebenezer JONES in the 20th Georgia Infantry, which did muster out of Muscogee with other counties in the military district. This David was captured and joined the US forces. Ebenezer did not leave a paper trail. Both were in Company I and joined on the same date.
* John W NELSON may have served in CSA 7th Regiment, Confederate Cavalry (Claiborne's Partisan Rangers Regiment. There are other soldiers in Company I with the surname of Jones.
* The second thing I noticed was that in church records for the NELSON and WALL families, there was a note that Mary JONES, a member of Mt Gilead Baptist Church in Muscogee County died in 1864. Polly or Mary Nelson JONES was a Baptist, joined Mt. Paron Primitive Baptist Church of Crawford County, Georgia 06/07/1829 by letter from Mt. Zion Church in Jones County and lettered out 09/02/1831. On the Mt. Paron Church roll there is the following notes: Jones, Jesse Brother joined 1829-06-07 by Letter and left 1831-12-31 by Letter and his wife's name was Mary.
* I have not found the sons on another census.
