Sarah Jones

Aft 1735 - 1808  (72 years)

• Name	Sarah Jones  [1, 2]
  Birth	Aft 1735	Virginia   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Death	10 Mar 1808	Warren County, North Carolina   [1]
  Notes	Said to be the daughter of Sugar JONES. (James L. McLemore, III, p 44). Mark Freeman instead shows her as the daughter of Edward JONES and Abigail SUGARS. Jack White emailed, in September 2016, that: Sarah Jones received a very large land grant on Lee's Branch in Granville Co in 1762 (700 acres). Atkins McLemore (as Adkins McKlemore) received a grant on Lee'a Branch, a tributary of Shocco Creek in that same year, showing Sarah Jones as the adjacent property owner. He believes this Sarah Jones was nee Sarah Franklin, the widow of Capt. Shugan "Sugar" Jones, who had died in 1761, and that it was this "Sarah Jones" who married Atkins McLemore around 1762. He also noted that he had "also located the 1761 will of Sugar Jones and a 1774 division of his estate. There is no mention in either of a daughter, Sarah. Atkins McLemore was one of the executors of that will, along with Sugar's unnamed wife. That, together with the fact that Sarah Jones and Atkins McLemore in 1761 were listed as neighbors in their respective land grants, leads me to believe that McLemore married the widow of his neighbor, Sugar Jones. I've attached the will transcript and the division records." He later added that "she might well have been Sugar's sister, as many researchers believe. The will and estate papers of Sugar Jones, however, make it pretty clear that he did not have a daughter named Sarah, so I think that possibility can be dismissed." (Research): Transcript of Sugar JONES will, courtesy of Jack White Jones, Sugar of Gr. Co Will, date July 15, 1761; prob. Aug 11, 1761 "Unto my son Edmund JONES all my lands that lies on the West Side of Linches Creek', stock there, and Negro woman Lucy and her 5 children; (2) 'all the remainder of my lands not before given' to be div. Bet. 3 son, Drewry (JONES), Samuel (JONES) and James (JONES) (3) to daughter. Nanny, Negro girl 'Rose' (4) to daughter. Molly, Negro girl 'Sall' (5) to son, Drewry, Negro boy 'Bob" (6) To son Samuel, Negro boy 'Tony' (7) to son James, Negro girl 'Fillis' (8) to the child my wife is now big with 'Negro girl' not exceeding 16 years of age to be bought out of the income of his est., and if this child should be a boy then a piece of land is to be bought for him; and (9) rest of est. to wife (name not given), for life.
