The Jones Family Bible is in the possession of Ronald Jones. My e-mail address is ronjones43@surewest.net.
The Jones Family Bible was presented to Edward N. Jones "E. N. Jones" by his mother Hannah (Johnson) Jones of Pompton Plains, New Jersey on September 1, 1847. The Bible was handed down to various family members. Four different styles of handwriting appear in the Bible.
E. N. Jones moved his family from New York, in about 1849, to Rutland, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a farm. The value of the farm as stated on the 1850 Federal census was $800.00. After "E. N. Jones died in 1900, the Bible moved with the family members, first to Seattle, Washington and then to Portland, Oregon.

Hi Joyce,
There isn’t anything in the Bible about the migration of the families in the Bible. I have followed them through census records and the following is what I found:
Olive (Jones) Slade and Clarence Slade moved to Clinton,
Indiana about 1899, they are listed in the 1900 census.
Jennie (Jones) Gilbert and Elmer E. Gilbert moved to
Kirkland, Washington before the 1900 census. He is listed as owning a Hotel.
Morris Jones moved to Elmira, New York and was a Mason.
Edward N. Jones moved to the Seattle area before September
of 1907, at that time Edward N. Jr. was born.
Their Mother
Julia M. (Beach) Jones died in Seattle 2 Apr 1907.
This was after her husband James A. Jones died in NY 24 Feb 1905.
The Slade’s moved to Seattle, from Clinton, Indiana,
before the 1910 census.
Sarah Francis (Jones) Benson died 4 Feb 1930 in Redmond,
Washington. This was after her husband, John H. Benson died in Pennsylvania
in 1925.
I hope this has helped you with the migration.
If you have any questions, just ask.
Ron
