Jones family.
Plantation records, 1777-1906. 4 boxes
George Noble Jones (born 1811), the son of Noble W. Jones and Sarah Campbell (married
1808), was directly descended from Noble Jones, an original colonist, who settled Wormsloe
Plantation near Savannah, Georgia. In 1840, he married Mary Savage Nuttall, the widow of
William B. Nuttall of Florida. They had four children: George Fenwick Jones (married Anna
Wylly Habersham); Wallace Savage Jones; Sarah Campbell Jones; and Noble Winberly Jones.
The collection consists of plantation records of the Florida and Georgia plantations of the
Noble Jones family, and additional family correspondence and records. Records stem from the
years prior to and after the Civil War, and thus document both pre-war slavery and postwar
tenant farming on the Southern plantation. Specific materials include overseer’s reports and
journals from the Chemonie Plantation in Florida; overseer's reports and journals, and
photographs, 1847-1856, and tenants' account books, 1866-1869, from the El Destino Plantation
in Florida; and overseer's reports, 1852-1897, from the Georgia Plantation. Also includes papers
regarding the Georgia estates of the Jones family, 1777-1897; family correspondence, 1841-
1897; and assorted accounts and bills. Papers were published in Ulrich Bonnell Phillips and
James David Glunt, editors, Florida Plantation Records from the Papers of George Noble Jones
(St. Louis: Missouri Historical Society, 1927) (Missouri History Museum Library call number:
