Read Full Research Report Here - Report Overview: There are 3 other men with similar names who also lived in Georgia and Alabama but do not appear to be our Merrit Jones from Randolph County, Georgia and Coffee County, Alabama. They may or may not be related, though it is likely so. We spent over a year researching each of these other families just to sort this out. Their names are W.A.M. Jones (William Andrew Monroe Jones from Georgia to Chambers, Alabama, to Collin, Texas), Merritt Warren Jones (lived all his life in Stewart, Georgia), and William M. Jones (William Marhsall from Bibb County, Georgia to Tallapoosa, Alabama, to Montgomery, Alabama).
