Notes - !NOTES:Marty Grant's 4th Great Grand Mother;
!NOTES:Possibly a daughter of James Jones who owned land on Livingston Creek, or of his probable son Henry Jones, both of whom vanished after 1810.
!NOTES:Maiden name Tibitha Jones per D/C of daughter Dorothy. Informant was Joe Bordeaux, Dorothy's son.
- I once *speculated* that Tabitha was a Wallace based only on the fact that she was born in SC and a Henry Wallace, also born SC, was her neighbor. This information is "out there" now, but it was highly speculative. We have a source for Jones, so I've changed her maiden name to that from Wallace.
!NOTES ON BIRTHPLACE:Contradictory sources, all but one lists NC. Outlier is SC.

1860 Census SC
1870 Census deceased
1880 Census entry for her known children list their mother's birth place as -
William NC

Tabitha NC
1900 Census entry for her known children list their mother's birth place as -

Tabitha NC
* Based on the above, I conclude Tabitha was born in NC. If she's a child of Henry or James, then she was born right in the same region (Livingston Creek) where she lived and died.;
!NOTES:Ivey Jones (c1819 NC) just 12 households from the Davis family in 1850. Ivey and wife Elizabeth (c1820) and several children. Could be related to Tabitha.;
!NOTES:David Jones (c1818 NC) just 6 houses away in 1860. He was listed as mulatto living with another family.;
!NOTES:James Jones (c1811 NC) just 17 housesholds away in 1860. Could be related.;
