Our
Story
Get to Know Us. I AM
In approximately 1840, in Montogomery, Alabama one of Clinton's slave women (Thatch) became Pregnant. She gave birth to a boy and named him Henry Jones. We acquired the name Jones from the slave owner Clinton Jones. Thatch is our organ legacy. Unfortunately, she was poisoned and died. Clinton moved his family along with his slaves and baby Henry to Ebenezer Mississippi. Henry had 6 Children. Newman, Sally, Louis, Henry II, Lucy, and Mary. Newman had 7 children, Edward, Walter, Samuel, Porter, Johnnie, Lemuel and Lois.
We come from Johnnie he had 12 children.
We will have a Family History book available for purchase giving the geneology of our history. Starting from Thatch to the youngest child born in 2024. Making it 9 generations.
We will also, be listing all family businesses in the book. Please be sure to pass your business card or information concerning your business, to your representative.
