*this family is sheer conjecture on my part. I'm still hoping to find confirming records. Anyone with information on these folks should please contact me.

We are very unsure about this connection. It is a sheer guess on my part. This should be considered only a beginning for a long investigation.

1820 - Greenville Co., SC census [United States Archives]
We still don't know which of the Moon family was the father of Mary Elizabeth Moon. According to the way I read the record she could be the child of John or Robert D. Moon. Assuming that she was at least 16 years old in 1832 she would have to be about 12 years old in 1820.

1832- Benjamin Jones marries Mary Elizabeth Moon of Newberry, South Carolina.

1850 - US Census records show him in Laurens Co., S. C:
Benjamin Jones 40 m farmer $500 born in S.C. is here with the above listed children plus what appears to be a nephew, Silas Jones 18m, a farmer. [Laurens Co. p.318]
