INTERESTING READING
Edmond William Jones
    The following story was taken from the Gadsden Times Newspaper Sesquicentennial edition, Sunday, October 6,
1996. One of the most dramatic pioneer stories was that of Edmond Jones, who was born in 1777 in South Carolina. In 1782, when a small boy of five, he was traveling with his family and a party of settlers heading for West Florida, as Mississippi and Louisiana were then called.    
They stopped to rest at a large spring in this area and while they slept, the party was attacked by Creek Indians.
Edmond was the only survivor of the massacre. He was found by some white people and taken to Georgia, where he grew up, although there are no details about those years.    
According to a descendant, retired Etowah County Tax Assessor Jerry Jones, in 1996: "We lost track of Edmond until about 1807, when he married. The years before that are lost." What is known, however, is that some time between 1812 and 1818, Edmond and his wife Nancy (Croxton) packed their belongings in a large trunk and trudged alongside and oxcart from Athens, Ga., to St. Clair County, Ala., and from there, to the place where his parents had been killed.    
Edmond first bought land from the Indians, title to which was later disputed. The original Jones homestead was in the present Clubview area. He bought land from the government, and his holdings increased to 3,000 acres.    
The couple built a family home located at what on today's maps is the southwest corner of Rainbow Drive and Alabama 77. In 1821, in gratitude for his survival of the massacre, Edmond gave the land for Harmony MeetingHouse, later called Harmony Baptist Church,
according to "The History of Etowah County," published in 1968.    
The original church building has been replaced, but the adjoining cemetery
has graves going back to the beginning of the settlement. Edmond and
Nancy, parents of 13 children, have more than 5,000 descendants around
the world.    
Jerry Jones is their great great grandson; his grandparents were George Walter Jones
and Lela Jerusha Gilliland Jones. His parents were Henry Clay Jones and Nell Blythe Jones.
The family name lives on in John S. Jones Elementary school.
Edmond William Jones
     I have not
found positive proof that William Jones was the father of Edmond Clayton
Jones. I have used circumstantial evidence to reach my conclusion.
Jerry B. Jones. 4 June 1804 Hannah Croxton, widow of John Croxton,
appeared before the land committee of Clarke County, Georgia and applied
for four hundred acres of land in Georgia in which she used an old
warrant of William Jones to obtain the, land. . From the Tax Digest of
Clarke County, Georgia for the year 1808. James Croxton, Hannah's
stepson, assessed 400 acres for Hannah Croxton on and Edmond Jones. The
property was evidently sold as I do not find it assessed to Hannah,
Edmond Jones, or James Croxton. That same year Edmond was assessing 100
acres on McNutt Creek adjoining Cahoon. He had this same property the
year before, 1807, and appears to be the first property he had owned in
Clarke County. This is also the year that it appears that he married
Nancy Croxton, the daughter of John Croxton who had married his mother
Hannah.     The first child of Edmond and Nancy Croxton Jones was
named William Hiram Jones. Since we know that Nancy's father was John,
it is assumed that this first son was named for Edmond's deceased
father.     The above items, were given to me by
Jerry B. Jones 10 September 1993. In an interview by me with Willie
May Cunningham on 2 September 1993 Mrs. Cunningham said two of her
aunts, Aunt Cath (Catherine Jones) and Aunt Nanny (Nancy Jones) said
Edmond Clayton Jones, Sr.'s father's name was Edmond William Jones.

ARTICLE WRITTEN BY WILL I. MARTIN AND APPEARED IN
THE GADSDEN TIMES 1948    
JONES GAVE LAND FOR OLD HARMONY CHURCH     One of
the oldest and most interesting churches in Etowah County is located on
Rainbow Drive, a few miles south of Gadsden, and is known as "Old
Harmony Church". Originally it was called "Harmony Meeting House" and
is so described in the deed which was signed by Edmond Jones on August
20, 1841. The first building was erected before that and was given to
the Baptists with the stipulation that the Methodists and Presbyterians
could use it in the event they decided to do so. For more than 107
years, therefore this church has been used by various denominations as a
matter of right.     The Primitive Baptist have been holding regular
services there for several years. The adjoining cemetery on the three
acre tract donated by Mr. Jones has been freely used by all
denominations, and some of the finest of the old families of the county
have members buried there.     The original frame building was burned a few
years ago and was replaced by concrete block structure.     There is a
legend that when the parent of Edmond Jones emigrated to Alabama, along
with others, they were attacked by Indians and all were killed except a
five year old boy who was picked up by white people in the neighborhood
of where the Harmony Church was later built. That little boy was Edmond
Jones. When he grew into manhood he acquired land there and from sheer
gratitude he decided to establish a church, open to all. He was not the
Edmond C. Jones that later became a most prosperous farmer and who owned
much land near where is now known as Clubview Heights, although he might
have been a kinsman.     At least, that is the story told by old timers of
that section. When the church was built back in the forties it was in
St. Clair County and remained in it until 1866 when a part of St. Clair
County was sliced off to form Etowah County.     The deed to the church
property is an interesting document. It reads:     STATE OF ALABAMA OST.
CLAIR COUNTY         Be it remembered that I Edmond Jones of the State and
County aforesaid, from various considerations and divers good purposes
do make this deed of gift in fee simple for the use of the gospel. That
is to say three acres of land situated and lying in the county aforesaid
and including the meeting house known by the name of Harmony Meeting
House; which ground I do by these presents bequeath namely for the use
of the church or churches as the case may be to witt. To the Baptist
Church that is now imbodied there; also to the Methodists and
Presbyterians should they form churches at that place. Said meeting
house being built on a republican plan; and said land is donated on the
same principle, which land I do warrant and forever defend to the said
churches against myself, my heirs executors and administrators or any
other person lawfully claiming or to claim. Signed with my hand and
Sealed with my seal this 21 day of August one thousand eight hundred &
forty one.    In the presence of:     James Lister     James Lister Jr,
