Note: Hi Betty,
Note:
I was on the Thomas Jones reservation today. Since I didn't have my map
with me, I don't know exactly where it was. Talked to a man who will
show me where all the springs are in the area. With my map and his
knowledge of the area I can probably pin point with a great deal of
accuracy where Thomas Jones lived. The reservations were given with the
place where the person lived in as near the center [of the reservation]
as possible. Of course the person lived near a spring because who wanted
to carry water for any great distance. This is in a valley called Kings
Cove after William King who bought the reservation from his
father-in-law, William Gains, who bought it from Thomas Jones. There is
a Jones Creek in Kings Cove. The man I met today said there was a spring
at the head of Jones Creek. I suspect that is where Thomas Jones lived
... at this spring. This man, and I've forgotten his name, only is at
his house on the weekends. He lives in Chattanooga but was raised in
this area. This will be his retirement home. It is at the deadend of a
gravel road in Tanyard Hollow [Holler] off Kings Cove. This is a
beautiful place and so clean looking. I told him it would probably be
fall after the snakes went in before I came back. I will have my
camera. I'm very excited about this.
Note:
I know where Thomas and William Jones reservations were. All I know
about James Jones reservation is that it lay right next to the Tennessee
River but where I don't know. It is not on the maps. But I would guess
it was near Thomas and William. Now Drury Jones reservation appears to
be in Marion Co, TN. I just thought about this today after going up
Kings Cove. The head of Kings Cove is in Marion Co, TN. So, I'm
wondering if his reservation was there. It may have also been elsewhere
in Marion Co, TN. There is a big mountain on one side of Kings Cove that
pretty much separates AL from TN. It is a wide mountain too.
Note:
Thanks for the pulling together of evidence. Some of it I didn't exactly
remember that I knew. Let me get some of it clear in my mind and add to
what you sent.
