Mary Whaley Jones
of
Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois
Mary "Polly" “Widow Mary” WHALEY, born 1 Mar 1771, Virginia, daughter of William and Hannah (BREWTON) WHALEY (See Whaley Family, Chapter 3). May died 25 Dec 1847, Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois. Burial in Sandy Branch Cemetery, Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois. (Note: Some people swear that Hannah was a ROUND and others a BREWTON. I've not researched it to make an opinion on that a of yet.)
Mary married James JONES circa 1792, Georgia. He was born bef. 1754, Granville County, North Carolina, son of Benjamin and Johannah (PERRY) JONES. James died 1803, Jackson County, Georgia. (Note: James married 1st Isabella WRIGHT 21 Dec 1778, Wilkes County, North Carolina, with Thomas JONES (Sr.) as bondsman and witnessed by Capt. William LENOIR (Marriage Bonds Wilkes County NC, p. 139).
On 22 Dec 1778, James JONES made an entry for 200 acres on Fishng Creek, Wilkes County, North Carolina (Land Entry Book, Wilkes County, NC 1778-1781, abstracted by Mrs. W. O. ABSHER, page 36). This property adjoined he brother's, Thomas', property.
On 7 Oct 1780, James JONES and his brothers, Thomas and William, as members of Captain William Lenoir's county militia, participated in the campaign that led to the famous Battle of King's Mountian, including the battle itself (The Patriots at King's Mountain, by Bobby G. Moss, 1990, p. 278, 286 and Pat Alderman, One Heroic Hour at King's Mountain, p. 61). (Note: The Battle of Kings Mountain was a decisive battle between the Patriot and Loyalist militias in the Southern campaign of the American Revolutionary War. The battle took place on October 7, 1780, nine miles south of the present-day town of Kings Mountain, North Carolina in rural York County, South Carolina, where the Patriot militia defeated the Loyalist militia commanded by British Major Patrick FERGUSON of the 71st Foot.)
On 23 Oct 1782, James JONES was issued a land grant for 219 acres on the West Fork of Fishing Creek adjoining Holden's line (Wilkes Co., NC DB-A-1, p. 236).
In mid 1780's, James JONES and brothers, Thomas JONES, Adam JONES and Samuel JONES, moved south to Wilkes County, Georgia, while their brother William JONES remained in Wilkes County, North Carolina.
In 1785, James JONES appears as #19 on Captain Newsom's tax list of Wilkes County, Georgia (Note: This became Warren County, Georgia in 1794). James was in that tax district through 1792.
In 1793, James JONES has moved to neighboring Greene County, Georgia and is on Capt. Reuben's tax list for the District of Greene County.
In 1793, Hancock County, Georgia was formed from part of Greene County.
In 1794, James JONES, Eli WHALEY (Mary's brother), and Samuel BETTS were in the Davis tax district, Hancock County, Georgia.
In 1797, James JONES is on the tax list of Capt. Aaron WOODS in Jackson County, Georgia.
In 1802, James JONES and Samuel BETTS are in the same tax district in Jackson County, Georgia.
In 1803, Mary "Polly" JONES was on the Jackson County, Georgia tax list for Captain Wood's district with 150 acres on Beech Creek, land originally granted to George BAGBY. This appears to be the land sold to James JONES by George and Miriam BAGBY on which the deed was not recorded until 1805. Also on the same tax list was Thomas JONES and Samuel BETTS.
On 25 Oct 1803, Mary JONES was ordered by the court of Jackson County, Georgia, to obtain letters of administration on the estate of James JONES. Another Mary JONES, was ordered the same thing for the estate of Thomas JONES. Researchers have alleged that the two brothers were killed in Indian Territory while returning from Alabama to Jackson County, Georgia. (Jackson County GA Early Court Records, 1796-1831, transcribed by Faye Stone Poss, p. 43)
On 19 Jul 1804, an inventory was taken of the estate of James JONES by George BAGBY, John BAGBY and William PENTECOST. James' estate was valued at $245.87 and 1/2 cent. Mary JONES precented an itemized list of all sale items and the prices they brought to the court clerk. It showed that she, listed as Polly JONES, bought everything, except two small items valued at less than one dollar, for a total of $247/36 and 1/2 cent. The two other buyers were William WHALEY and Joshua BETTS.
On 5 Jan 1808, on the petition of Mary JONES, the Jackson County court ordered that Benjamin CAMP, a neighbor to James and Mary, be joint administrator with Mary for James' estate.
On 2 Jan 1809, acting on the petition of Agrippa ATKINSON that Mary was preparing to leave the county, the court ordered that Mary appear and give proof of her security for administration of James JONES' estate. (Jackson County GA Early Court Recortds, 1796-1831, transcribed by Faye Stone Poss, p. 170) In Mar 1809 the court recognized Benjamin CAMP as responsible for Mary's security as administrator and held Mary in contempt for failing to appear before the court (Jackson County GA Early Court Recortds, 1796-1831, transcribed by Faye Stone Poss, p. 172).
On 29 Sep 1814, the Athens Gazette (Athens, Jackson County, Georgia) printed a notice of a November sheriff's sale in Jackson County of 1,150 acres owned by various named individuals, including Mary JONES, to satisfy debts to one William SPRUCE. This may have been the final disposal of the land once owned by James JONES.
(Note: I want to thank John Norvill JONES for most of the above information on James and Mary (WHALEY) JONES.)
In 1826, "Widow" Mary JONES moved to Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois from Georgia. Two of her children, James JONES and Rachel MORRIS had already moved to Illinois. Four of her children moved with her. They were Eli W., Joseph A., Elizabeth and Samuel Betts JONES. History of Marion and Clinton Counties, Illinois - 1881, (See following).
Soon after moving to Foster Township, Mary’s daughter, Elizabeth, married J. F. HOLT of Patoka Township. This was the first marriage for anyone in Foster or Patoka Townships.
In 1830, the census shows Joseph JONES living in Marion County, Illinois. In his household was 1 male age 20-29 (Joseph JONES, Mary's son); 1 female age 60-69 (Mary JONES); 1 male age 15-19 (Samuel Betts JONES, Mary's youngest child). Mary would have only been 59, so they had her in the wrong age bracket.
On 17 Jan 1837, Mary JONES purchased 80 acres in Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois. (S2NW - Section 15 - 4N 2E) The cost of $1.25 an acre, total of $100.00. Vol. 145, pg 134. This property is known as "The Mound" and is the highest point in Marion County. Mary was one of the first, if not the first, women to purchase property in Illinois.
The “Widow” Mary JONES Family was one of the first families of Clinton and Marion Counties, Illinois. Mary settled on Section 18 of what was later named Foster Township, in Marion County, Illinois in 1826. Her son James JONES and daughter Rachel JONES MORRIS had already moved up from Georgia to Clinton County before her. Mary, and the four children who moved with her, were the second family to settle in Foster Township. Her daughter, Mary JONES, married the first settler, Hardy FOSTER, for whom the township was later named.
(History of Marion and Clinton Counties, Illinois - 1881, Under the heading of Foster Township, Marion County, Page 251, Section 1, Paragraph 6, "The next settlement was made by Mrs. JONES and family of four children on section eighteen in 1826. When she came here her children were about grown. Her sons were Eli W., Joseph A. and Samuel B. Her daughwer Elizabeth married soon afthey they settled her to John F. HOLT, eldest son of Harmon HOLT, the first settler of Patoka Township. This was the first marriage in the two township. HOLT settled down to farming near his father's, but subsequently moved to this township, and in company with Joseph A. JONES, his brother-in-law, entered the first piece of land, eight acres, January 4th, 1830, on the east half of the south-west quartwer of section ten." Page 251, Section 1, Paragraph 7, "J. A. JONES settlewd on sectin fifteen, where he lived until his death in 1844, leaving a widow and six young children." Page 251, Section 1, Paragraph 8, "Eli W. JONES also married, soon after his mother settled here, to Miss Louvisa PURSLEY, daughter of Wm. PURSLEY, of Tonti Township. He settled near his mother's where he improved a small place, and lived there until about 1836. He then entered land that year in section 28, where he improved a farm. He was twice married, and raised a family of eleven children. In 1858, he moved to Texas, where he died about ten years ago." Page 251, Section 2, Paragraph 1, "Samuel B. JONES, the youngest of the family, made an improvement on section 11 in 1832, where he lived until 1873. He now resides in Fosterburg. He was justice of the peace many years, is jovial old gentleman, and delights in talking of the early times here. He has a fair education and a good memory, and is very accurate on the early history of the county. He has raised a family of twelve children." Page 251, Section 2, Paragraph 2, "James JONES, the oldest son of the widow JONES, was born in Georgia in 1795. For some time he was in the employ of the government, in the capacity of guard, guarding the surveyors when the State was surveyed. He married Miss Laura LLEWELLYN, of Clinton county, Illinois, in 1824. Three years later he came to this settlement, and located on section six, where he remained several years. He then went to Missouri, and after one year he returned and settled permanently on section nine, this being in 1832, where he continued to reside until the time of his death in 1865. Part of his old residece still stands. His aged wife survived him, and is now the oldest lady in the township. She lives with her children. They raised a family of eleven children, six yet living -- three sons and three daughters."

Two years ago you made me a new one which is as near perfect as an artificial leg can be. I walk with perfect ease. The main objection I made against your system was the absence of the ankle joint.
