I have the SHANKS ancestry documented back three more generations and thousands to present. “Green” Jones POB and parentage remains unknown to me. His eldest son’s D/C (Henry Clay Jones, from whom I descend) lists his father’s POB as “Withersville, WVA”; another descendant of this family cites an oral history as Tazewell Co., VA, but not documentation. “Withersville” does not exist; research in Wytheville (Wythe Co., Western VA) did not show results. Since Mary Jane SHANKS ancestors originally came from Greenbrier Co. in what is now WVA to Hawkins Co. in 1803, there may be a link there; a “Betsy Jones” also shows up in a will: Green’s mother?
