As I mentioned, I have not thoroughly researched this line yet. I do have a copy of a disapproved pension claim on the service of Joseph F. Jones written by his sister Rebecca who was claiming their other sister Cassandra (who is consistently listed as an invalid) as Joseph's dependent. Joseph served in the Civil War and died as a result of injuries sustained in the War, in 1862. I also have Return J. Burnham's (Elizabeth's husband) pension file. I believe that all of them were buried in Ballston Spa. I would have to dig further into my notes for more specifics. However, they seem to have followed a similar migration route, so I thought there might be a connection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641105711412662630.post-27122369273206310992011-10-22T16:06:43.252-07:002011-10-22T16:06:43.252-07:00Hi Susi,

It is one of my unresearched lines, so I do not have a lot of information yet.<br /><br />Aaron Jones lived in Schoharie County, NY, in the 1830 federal census. They moved to Saratoga County, specifically Ballston Spa. Aaron died before 1850, when his widow Paulina lived in Ballston with children Joseph F. Jones and Cassandra Jones. Another daughter Elizabeth (my ancestor) married Return J. (called "Jay") Burnham. Daughter Rebecca remained unmarried throughout her life, and is rather notorious in Ballston Spa, known as as "Silent Becky." Her portrait hangs in the Saratoga County Historical Society (Brookside Museum).<br /><br />Any connection between your Joneses and my Aaron Jones?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
