Field notes
The chronology also records Jones's unpaid upkeep of New Jerusalem and Gilmer cemeteries, a 1993 leadership award, and a 2010 historical marker on Old Pike Road. The site credits Carlton A. James as a nephew and grandson and names sources including the Montgomery Advertiser and Barnett Reunion Historical Archives. Contributors are offered a choice of full name, first name, or no name; the page says recordings remain private until a volume is released.
