Above is a screen shot of some of my results from searching today. Searching for Hugh Jones in Alabama, I found a family history book that gives a complete genealogy of my second great grandmother Gennetta Woolley. This included detailed information about her family along with a history of the settlement of Bibb and Chilton counties of Alabama. I can use this information to fine tune the date that Hugh's father moved from Georgia to Alabama.
Quite a find!!!!
Happy ancestor hunting.
