• Notes

  "Combination Atlas Map of Grant Co, IN" by Kingman Bros. 1877, in an article written about Enoch P. Jones, M.D., of Marion, Grant Co, IN states this about his ancestor, "Richard Bright Jones emigrated from Wales to America, settling in OpA." (possibly also known as Opeccin or Opecking, near Cape Fear) "...he married Miriam, daugher of Aaron Coppock."
