The Indiana Territory begins its story 1803 - 1805. However, what was to become the state of Indiana was not formed until 1816. The earliest records appear to be dated from 1801 in Clark County Wills & Executor's Records 1801 - 1833. Here it is recorded that the will of George Jones was dated August 13, 1806. His wife was Jane Jones, and sister was listed as Polly Jones. A Jones family it must have been before 1806. The will was proved by Davis Floyd, along with a number of other Floyd being listed. The will was probated 9 January 1808. Any folks out there related?
The documentation is given: Jones Journeys, Vol. 14, 1986 - 1987, p.1273.
