Notes
a. Note:   William Chamberlayne Jones has a distinguished lineage researched by his great-grand daughter, Nita Johnson Picket, reaching back to some of the earlist Virginia colonists and from them to several of the barons who were Magna Charta Sureties and other notable personages in the Middle Ages. He is descended also from several knights of the Most Royal Order of the Garter, one of them one of the original twenty-five Knights Companions chosen by King Edward III for this, still, the most prestigious order in Great Britain. William Chamberlayne Jones (called Cham) was the son of Benjamin B. Jones of Lawrence County, Alabama, and his wife, Martha Haywood. He graduated from La Grange College in Alabama with a B.A. degree. His father was a trustee of this Methodist College, which was destroyed by Union troops in the War Between the States. Cham also attended Harvard University Law School. In 1852, he came to Texas and settled in Fannin County at or near the mouth of Bios d' Arc twenty or thirty miles north of Honey Grove at a place called Monkstown. After the War Between the States, he attended Tulane University Medical School in New Orleans, sold the plantation on Red River and bought the farm at Grove Hill.
