    Generation No. 6.
    9. ZACHARIAH6 JONES (EBENEZER5 , WILLIAM THOMAS JR.4 , EBENEZER3 , THOMAS2 , WILLIAM1 ) was born Abt. 1781 in Sussex Co., DE, and died July 11, 1835 in White Co., TN. He married REBECCA HITCHCOCK July 25, 1803 in Blount Co., TN, daughter of JOHN HITCHCOCK. She was born Abt. 1783, and died Aft. 1860 in White Co., TN. Notes for ZACHARIAH JONES: In 1797 the Hawkins line was surveyed to determine the boundary between Tennessee and the Cherokees. It appears, using present day locations, that the Hawkins line ran south of Maryville and north of Friendsville in Blount County, and northeast of Kingston in Roane County, Tennessee. After the line was completed it was discovered that several white families were living south of the line on Indian lands. By Octobert 1797 the Federal government had removed these families from the Indian lands. We know that Zachariah was in the families removed from the Indian lands because on 7 April 1798 Governor John Sevier issued a : "Passport into Indian lands Prettyman Jones, Zachariah Jones, John Hackney, David Styrhete, Joshua Parsons David Oatts, John Ore, Christopher Huzey, Alexander Ford, Joseph Gomry for the purpose of removing their cattle and stock from the Indian lands and to care for their growing grain. Also living on the Indian lands was Annis Joans [Ann Jones] Zachariah’s mother. Further activity by Zachariah with his brother Prettyman occurred in Blount County area. The Indian Agent Return J. Meigs reported on 31December 1801: "That three horses were stolen from the Cherokees on or about the 5th day of October last [1801]. Two horses were stolen from Granny Maw, widow of the Cherokee Chief Hanging Maw, and one horse was stolen from the Cherokee Deer Biter. From circumstances of the most convincing nature, all the horses were stolen by Prettyman Jones, Zachariah Jones, and Edward Stone, all of the County of Blount in the State ofTennessee."

    Zachariah served in the War of 1812 from 13 November 1814 to 13 March 1815 as an Ensign in Captain Danie Newman’s Company, 3rd Regiment Tennessee Militia under General Carroll. His unit was in the Battle of New Orleans. For more details on battle see Chapter Four on his brother Prettyman Jones. [4]

BRIEF HISTORY: Part of Major General William Carroll's division at the battles for New Orleans, this regiment suffered casualties during the skirmish of 28th December 1814 and had two of the handful of fatalities on the famous 8 January 1815 battle. General Carroll's report of the battle tells that Captains Elijah Haynie and Matthew Neal "had the honor of receiving and repelling the attacks of the British forces." After the war, James Raulston became a prominent member of the state legislature of Alabama. [5]

    Biography

    Ebenezer Jones was born in January 1746, in Worcester County, Maryland on land that became Sussex Co., Delaware after the Mason-Dixon Line survey. He was the son of Thomas Jones and his wife, Elizabeth (Prettyman) Jones. His mother was the daughter of [[Prettyman-86 | John Prettyman III], making Ebenezer a cousin of the large Prettyman family of Sussex County.
    "Ebenezer, [son] of Thomas Jones," was baptized January 3, 1747, at St. Georges' Protestant Episcopal Church, near Lewes, Delaware.[1] He grew up on a farm just one mile from that of John & Comfort (Prettyman) Rogers, who had a daughter Ann, born ca. 1756. Ebenezer Jones and Ann Rogers were married in 1771 in Indian River Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware.

    They had the following children:[2]

    Research Notes

    D.Mitchell Jones' Writings on Ebenezer Jones: NOTE: D. Mitchell Jones died in 2006; in May 2014, his family removed his genealogical web site from the Internet, thereby removing his research and writings from public view. Mitch always allowed other family genealogists to copy his material; several pieces of his web site thus "live on" on Rootsweb and WikiTree and Ancestry. These writings on Ebenezer Jones were transcribed on: Watson-Stubbs Family Tree - Ebenezer Jones and placed here by Chet Snow. Please do NOT remove without consultation. Oct. 13, 2015.

    "Ebenezer5 Jones, (Thomas4, Ebenezer3, Thomas2, William A-1), b 3 Jan 1745/46 Worcester Co., MD; d 26 Dec 1796, Blount Co., TN. Ann Rogers b ca 1748/49 Worcester Co., MD d ca. 1803/4 Blount Co., TN dau. of John Rogers and Comfort Prettyman. Ebenezer was baptized at St. Georges' Protestant Episcopal Church which on the church records is listed "Ebenezer of Thomas Jones" b. Jan 3, 1746/47. The next record of Ebenezer is also in the St. George Church records which lists his son's birth and baptism as "Prettyman son of Ebenezer and Ann Jones," b. Feb 22, 1772 and baptized Dec 6, 1772."

    "On Mar 16, 1776 Ebenezer was granted 100 acres of land on the north side of Sheep-pen Branch in Sussex County, PA (DE). The 100 acres was called "Jones First Choice", and adjoined a tract of land he lived on. On Jan 19 1780 Ebenezer purchased for 30 pound 70 acres from Robert Ingram, and on Jan 20, 1780 he purchased 76 acres of "Good Hope" from his father for 50 pounds."

    "It is apparent that Ebenezer and his family moved from Sussex County in 1786 for in that year he sold all his land. On Feb 4 1786 Ebenezer of Sussex, DE, Planter, sold to John Darby 76 acres of land called "Good Hope" and 100 acres of "Jones First Choice" on the north side of Sheep-pen Branch for 200 pounds. Also on the same day Ebenezer and Ann his wife sold to John Darby for 50 pounds the 70 acres he had purchased from Robert Ingram. Another indication that he moved in 1786 is that he is on the 1784 and 1785 Tax lists of Dasborough Hd, Sussex Co, but he is not on the 1787 Tax List which is the next surviving list."

    "We do not know why Ebenezer moved from Sussex Co. but it is only reasonable to assume that he moved to acquire better land and to improved his family's economic conditions. One writer wrote that, "most Delawareans felt that the end of the Revolutionary War with Great Britain would bring prosperity. Instead they encountered frustrations, disappointments, and hardships. Paper money declined in value in relation to specie until 1785, when the state called in the paper money issued in the past and redeemed it at the rate of seventy-five to one in new bills. Clashes between political parties intensified, resulting in both verbal and physical abuse."

    "Between 1786 and 1796 the only references to Ebenezer are found in August County, Virginia. At this period of time the classic migration pattern from Delaware to the present states of Georgia, Kentucky, North & South Carolina, and Tennessee was to go north to Pennsylvania and down the Valley of Virginia. Augusta County is in the Valley of Virginia and would have been a logical stopping place on the way South. Ebenezer is found on the 1787 Tax list in Augusta County, Virginia with no white males between ages of 16-21, two horses, and two cattle. He is listed on Jan 21 1789 List of Insolvent for Taxes of 1787 as Ebinezer Jones gone to Kentucky and owning two horses. Also on this list were Jobe Ingram, Samuel Gillaspy, Henry Null, and Abraham Ingram. He is also on the Mar 18 1790 Insolvents list for 1788, and is listed as Ebenezer Jones moved to Carolina with 1 slave and 7 horses. Other names on the list were Abram, Job, and Uriah Ingram."

    "In the Blount County, Tennessee Court Minutes we see an inquest was held about the death of Ebenezer Jones. He was found dead on Dec 26, 1796, and having with him. a gun and an ax. He died having a claim of 320 acres of land, a house, six head of cattle, and other property."

    "It is probable that Ebenezer and his family moved to Tennessee from Augusta County, Virginia. At the Treaty of Dumplin Creek in 1785, the Cherokee's agreed that the boundary between the Whites and the Indians would be the ridge dividing the water of Little River and the Tennessee River, and agreed to the cession of all the lands south of the French Broad and Holston Rivers, east of that ridge. The Dumplin Creek Treaty along with the great land grab of the 1780's by North Carolina's Legislators combined to open large areas of good rich land at very cheap prices to settlers. This opportunity for cheap land was a magnet drawing people into the area that would later be Tennessee. It was especially easy for settlers to move by way of the valley system that extended from Pennsylvania through Virginia into present day Tennessee. This was a much easier and more natural route into Tennessee that crossing the mountains while traveling from East to West. Blount County, Tennessee was at this time still a frontier area. Peace with the neighboring Indians was achieved only a few months before Tennessee achieved statehood in 1796. Consistent with the frontier conditions is that homes in the area were of log construction, and that our Joneses were farmers."

    Research Notes
    Sources

    We believe that Thomas only had one wife, and that was Elizabeth (Betty) Prettyman. We have only found three references to her. The first is in the will of her father, John Prettyman, on 21 April 1745. In that will she is listed as Elizabeth Prettyman, and she must have married shortly after the will was made. The lifestyle of Thomas and Elizabeth was probably very much like that of Thomas's parents in that they lived on a farm, and all of their food would have been raised on the farm. They would have had cattle and hogs for their meat, and probably grew corn and wheat for their bread. They would have had a garden in which they grew a variety of vegetables. They would have had sheep for wool clothing, and would have grown flax for linen. Since Thomas owned slaves, and Elizabeth had inherited two female slaves from her father; they would have had the slaves to help with the farm and household chores. Elizabeth or the slaves would have spun the wool and flax to make thread for cloth. Then she or the female slaves would have made all the clothing for the family. It is obvious from Thomas's will that he owned a horse to ride, and his wife had a horse to ride as she owned a side saddle. Notes for ELIZABETH PRETTYMAN: b.

Notes for NANCY JONES: b bet 1755-1774 Worcester Co., MD. Notes for WILLIAM THOMAS JR. JONES: Thomas appears to have been born and lived all his life on the family farm "Peppers Choice" located on Sheeppen Branch. We first find him on the 1740 tax list of Somerset County, Maryland. The next record of him is when his son, Ebenezer, was baptised at St. Georges Protestant Episopal Chapel, and the church records list Ebenezer as born 3 January 1746/7. We do not know when the Joneses first started attending St. Georges, but they may have been attending for several years, as Thomas's father's first cousin, Parker Aliff, did attend. The Prettyman family had a long association with St. George's. St. George's is located in the Angola Neck area and Love Branch area in Sussex County, and is presently about seven miles northwest of Millsboro between Millsboro and Lewes. Land for St. George's was donated in 1706, and a log church was built that year. The church is still in existence, with a modern brick building surrounded by the gravestones of Burtons, Prettymans, etc. The oldest tombstone at St. George's is the tombstone of Thomas Prettyman, Esquire, brother of Elizabeth Prettyman Jones. Thomas Jones was a farmer, and was sometimes described as a "Planter" in the records. "Planter" at this time meant the owner of a plantation, but we should not confuse this plantation with the large southern type plantation. The term "Planter" seemed to imply that his landholdings put him in a social class above that of the small farmer or "Yeoman" farmer. By his landholdings Thomas would seem to qualify for the title "Planter".
