CHARLES AND SALLIE (CHRISTIAN) JONES Charles, a Jones from Madison Co., Georgia whom the people tried to “keep up with,” was born 8 May 1808, died 4 April 1882, Cass County, Texas. His grandfather was Col. Russell Jones (1738-1814), who was a Revolutionary Soldier. He owned a huge plantation in Georgia. His son, Thomas, who married Margaret Connally, built a home near Ft. Lamar in 1816, which Charles lived as a young boy. The bricks on and around this home were made by slaves. (Great-Great-Great Grandchildren in Cass County and elsewhere are proud owners of some of these bricks. The old home still stands and is occupied today.
