     Following are some of the Adam Joneses researched in Georgia and South Carolina. These are only 5 of the Adams found. Three of these have Seaborns as sons or grandsons. The name Lerisey/Levicie/etc. appears several times. I have not found the parents of Adam of Laurens Co., Georgia.

The many Seaborn Joneses are reflected in a biography of Seaborn Jones of Halifax County, North Carolina and Augusta, Georgia. “Seaborn was greatly admired and his brothers and cousins named sons “Seaborn.” So many “Seaborn Jones” were in the family that they gave them nicknames to distinguish them.”

Laurens County., Georgia
Adam Jones of Laurens Co., GA, had a wife named Lerisey, and children as follows: Jane, Lydia, Delia, Ellenor, Margaret, Queen Ann, Susan, Seaborn, Holly Ann, Laura, and John (from his will).

Adam died in March, 1829. I have found no census records for Adam in Laurens Co., but Lerisey is enumerated in Laurens in 1830 (Levice), 1840 (Luricie), and in Pulaski in 1850 (Levicey).

In the 1830 Laurens Co. census, Lerisey is enumerated right after Richard Barlow. This is evidence that her daughter, Ellenor, is the Ellen/Nellie who married James Barlow (between 1830 and 1835), son of Richard (mentioned in Richard’s will as ‘my daughter in law, Nellie Barlow’. In 1840 James is enumerated 4 lines from Luricie. In census records, Ellen is called Ellen (1850-1870) and Nellie in 1880).

Pulaski County, Georgia
By 1850, Lerisey is in Pulaski Co. and the only child living with her is Seaborn (Seabron). Son, Seaborn, was b. 19 Sep 1818 in Georgia. Seaborn married Susan F. Hall (1832-1883) in 1850 in Pulaski Co. Seaborn and Susan had a son, Adam Hall and a daughter, Siddy (Seaborn had a sister named Lydia/Siddy). Siddy married William R. McNair and they had a daughter, Queen Ann (one of Seaborn’s sisters was named Queen Ann). Seaborn died in 1898 and is buried in Bleckley Co., GA (formed 1912 from Pulaski).

Washington, Wilkinson, and Laurens counties, Georgia
Seaborn, b. c1812-1813, married Nancy Powell in Washington Co. in1845. They were enumerated there in 1850. In 1860, they were in Wilkinson Co., and in Laurens Co. in 1870 and 1880. He died 12 Jul 1892 and is buried in Marie Baptist Church Cemetery in Laurens Co.

Wilkinson County, Georgia
Adam (b. c1770-75-d. 1845?) married Susannah Clark (?). His will, 1845, names his wife, Susannah, and children, Daniel, Sallie Ward, Frances Ryle, Patsy Pittman, and Patience Gibson.Georgia Probate Records, 1742-1990 Wilkinson Accounts 1841-1850, p. 612. No Seaborn here.

St Paul Parish, Richmond, Columbia, Morgan, and Pike counties, Georgia
Another family of interest, because of similar names is that of Adam Jones, a Revolutionary War soldier. Adam married Nancy Harrison in Virginia. They had a son Richard (will of Richard Harrison). Was Isaac also a son? See EN>Isaac Jones Bible. Adam died in 1826.

Isaac married Malinda Clayton and they moved to Morgan Co. where Seaborn was born in 1810. This Seaborn was also known as Greene Seaborn and Seaborn G. Isaac died in Morgan Co. in 1821. Malinda moved to Pike Co. circa 1823, with Seaborn. Seaborn married Nancy Wadsworth in 1845 and they had Lovisa/Lovicey. Seaborn continued in Pike Co. He died there in 1895 and both are buried in Wadsworth Cemetery in Lamar Co. (formerly Pike Co.)

Warren County, Georgia
Benjamin Jones and Johannar Perry(?) had a son, Adam (Sr.) in Virginia. They moved to Warren Co. ca 1794, where Adam, Sr. m. Susannah Denmark(?) in 1815 and where Adam, Jr. was born. Adam, Sr. m. Nancy Baxley in 1821, and died in 1830. Adam, Jr. was married to Mary unk, who died in1858. He then m. Eliphar unk before the 1860 census. He died in 1885.

Halifax County, North Carolina/Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia
Seaborn (1759-1815) was a Revolutionary War soldier, and then a politician and attorney in Georgia. His parents are possibly Abraham Jones, Jr. and Martha Patsey Jones.

Colleton District/County, South Carolina
The marriage record (A. H. Jones and Levicy) attributed to Adam and Lerisey by many researchers, turned out to be the marriage of Andrew H. Jones. Subsequent newspaper items: in the obituary of one of his children, it uses the names Andrew H. and Levicy; in his obituary, Andrew H. of Colleton Co. The obituary of Mrs. Levicy Jones has her birth15 Dec 1796, Colleton; death18 Sep 1873, Salkehatchie (Colleton) Death and Obituary Notices.

Abbeville and Laurens counties, South Carolina
Adam Crane Jones, Sr., Jr., and III lived in these counties. They died, respectively, in Abbeville (1807), Abbeville (1815), and Laurens Co., South Carolina (after 1880). So they are not to be confused with the Adam in Lauren Co., Georgia.^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13}
