White Jones Family Tree
The Jones core family, generation by generation: Capt. Lewellen Jones and Mary Anderson (married 22 Oct 1792, Louisa Co., VA) through the John N.S. Jones and Alexander P. Jones lines, with the Haywood, Perkins, and Donnell marriages that connect them. Elizabeth, Evelina, Ann, and Shandy — manumitted by legislative act in December 1820 — appear as named individuals, not footnotes. Generations read left to right, earliest first. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan, click any person for dates, sources, and notes. Click the ▾ badge on a person to collapse or expand their branch.
Reading rule: every link carries a confidence level. confirmed_primary (read from the manuscript) and confirmed_secondary are citable; lead and unresolved are hypotheses, not facts — never display them as fact. The red dotted do_not_merge link marks the Bedford County Lewellen Jones as a different person from the Madison County Avalon founder. Where the record is thin, the tree says so.
