I've been exploring the family of James Wynne JONES as I read Your Guide to Cemetery Research. While I haven't yet found a bible or a bible transcription, I may indeed have found a bible that was owned by a relative of James Wynne JONES:

JONES Family; Holy Bible; 830 pp.; printed 1824 by E. Gardner, London, England; entirely in Welsh; was the personal Bible of Lewis JONES (no family data); found in Cincinnati, Ohio on 30 Dec 1995. {Returned to family}

Thanks to www.fordnagle.com for their work in reuniting records to their owners or I would never have seen this reference.

If you have additional information about this family of Welsh immigrants to Cincinnati in the mid-1850s, I'd love to hear from you. The JONES family is a collateral line but I've been intrigued by their monument at Spring Grove Cemetery. My 2nd great-grandaunt, Mary Elizabeth MOREHOUSE married James Wynne JONES.

BACKGROUND: James Wynne JONES(1834-1892) m1) Mary Elizabeth MOREHOUSE (1838-1863) on 7 Jan 1857 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio. He m2) Catherine E. ERRICKSON (1845-1893) probably in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mary Elizabeth (MOREHOUSE) JONES died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
