Jane 'Jan' (McCullough) Cones

Jane 'Jan' (McCullough) Cones

Birth  1760
USA
Death  Jan. 24, 1831
Cold Spring,
Campbell County,
Kentucky


Jane McCullough is the daughter of William Robert McCullough and unknown mother. She was born 1760 in Lancaster Co., and passed away Jan. 24, 1831 in Campbell Co., Kentucky.

Jane married Jacob Cones in Campbell Co., Kentucky in 1785. To this union there were 10 children; William Washington; John Gregg; Agnes Cones; James C.; Elizabeth Rachel; Robert McCullough; Samuel Joseph; Florinoy (Flernoi); Jane McCullough (Jan); and JOSEPH Cones.

--- Please Note: ---http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SPILMAN/1997-03/0857865925
To this date, Jane and Jacob's final resting place is unknown. Confirmed resources note that the cemetery where Jacob and his wife were located - has been covered over by the neighboring Baptist church parking lot.

Descendants of the Cones Family arriving at the location of the old cemetery, asked the Head members of the church if they could help in this research. It was declined and later remarked that they moved the graves of all who remained in the Old Baptist Cemetery, so they could pave way for a bigger parking lot. Understandable.

When asked about the locations of the remains or why their headstones were not with their graves but tossed over in to the woods beside the old cemetery, the reply was declined and those asking were asked to remove them self from the premises.
Sources since this first finding, raise questions that concerned descendants of the Cones Family.

- If this is true, why were the remains moved and buried in unmarked, undisclosed graves?
-Where are the graves? It was noted that they were in a local cemetery near by, however, there is no record or confirmation to the remains being removed and reburied. Any further questions were unanswered and declined.
 
With out jumping to conclusion, our final findings with most others, is believed that the Old Baptist Cemetery is still the last known location of the remains for those who were buried in the old cemetery. Since their is no evidence at this time to conclude or verify the removal or the final location of the remains after their removal.

--- To be fair, it is important to note that each state has different laws in tact that disclose how cemeteries are protected - if any protection is rendered by that state. At the time of the search by various descendants, there was no known laws of protection for the Old Baptist Cemetery or any other known cemetery in the state of Kentucky. Since then some laws have changed and some remain the same. ---

Jacob Riley Cones

Jacob Riley Cones

Birth  1760
Lancaster County,
Virginia, USA

Death  May 5, 1832
Cold Spring,
Campbell County,
Kentucky, USA

Jacob Riley Cones was the son of Christian and unknown (Grant) Cones. He was born in 1760 in Lancaster County, Virginia and he passed away on May 5, 1832 in Cold Springs, Alexandria, Campbell Co., Kentucky.



--- About Jacob and his father ---
Jacob Cones from age 4 was raised by an English woman who's last name was thought to be Grant.(Grant could be his mother's last name too since his uncle was John Grant who lived in Grants Lick, KY) Jacob tried to find his mother and sisters among the Great Lake tribes and down the Mississippi river. Jacob and his sons were skilled carpenters and loggers.

Jacob's father Christian Cones was believed to be of Holland and the first of the family to come to the American Colonies. He spoke only the Germanic language and settled near Germantown,PA. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War and served in the Germanic regiment and rose to the rank of Sergeant during his enlistment which was usually only 90 days. He drowned while crossing the river during the Battle of Brandywine (this battle was forbidden by George Washington but ordered by the PA officers).


Christian left behind a wife, two daughters and Jacob. His wife remarried and her second husband was killed by Indians, she and the two girls were captured by Indians and never seen again.

Jacob Cones bought a farm near where Ft. Thomas, Ky. That now stands on Old Lexington Pike in Campbell Co., Kentucky, purchasing it at $1.25 acre.

Jacob married Jane McCullough in Campbell Co., Kentucky in 1785. To this union there were 10 children; William Washington; John Gregg; Agnes Cones; James C.; Elizabeth Rachel; Robert McCullough; Samuel Joseph; Florinoy (Flernoi); Jane McCullough (Jan); and JOSEPH Cones.

To this date, Jacob and Jane's final resting place is unknown. Confirmed resources note that the cemetery where Jacob and his wife were located - has been covered over by the neighboring Baptist church parking lot.

Descendants of the Cones Family arriving at the location of the old cemetery, asked the Head members of the church if they could help in this research. It was declined and later remarked that they moved the graves of all who remained in the Old Baptist Cemetery, so they could pave way for a bigger parking lot. Understandable.

When asked about the locations of the remains or why their headstones were not with their graves but tossed over in to the woods beside the old cemetery, the reply was declined and those asking were asked to remove them self from the premises.
Sources since this first finding, raise questions that concerned descendants of the Cones Family.

-Where are the graves? It was noted that they were in a local cemetery near by, however, there is no record or confirmation to the remains being removed and reburied. Any further questions were unanswered and declined.

With out jumping to conclusion, our final findings with most others, is believed that the Old Baptist Cemetery is still the last known location of the remains for those who were buried in the old cemetery. Since their is no evidence at this time to conclude or verify the removal or the final location of the remains after their removal.

 --- In all fairness, I think it is important to note every state has different laws that disclose how all cemeteries are protected. (If there is any protection from the state). During that time of the noted search made by various descendants, there were NO known laws of protection for the Old Baptist Cemetery. I should note there also were no laws of protection to any other  cemeteries  in the state of Kentucky.
Since this information surfaced there have been some law changes enforcing protection of some cemeteries. Meanwhile, other laws remain the same and some cemeteries are not protected. ---

Merging F.A.G Continues

Merging Continues


Just a reminder that our Find A Grave pages are being merged to this site and placed in a tab where they will be easily located at the side of this site. You will find all F.A.G Memorials located in the tab labeled Our F.A.G Memorial Merge

Since the F.A.G site is currently working on their updates, some memorials that are duplicated are being merged. Due to the merging of memorials on their site, since we do hold a few duplicates on our F.A.G page. We will begin the merging process to here.

Duplicated memorials mostly exist because the individual maintaining the pages is either no longer managing their memorials or just not responding to changes people are submitting. When you try to contact F.A.G about the issue and try to get the updates added well let me just say it is a pain in the rear. This is why we are merging our memorials so we can keep access and maintain the updates we find. We will also continue to update our memorials at F.A.G.   

At any rate due to the updates we are merging all of our Find A Grave memorials with all the updated information to this website. So this site will hold a lot of valuable resources we hope by the time we get everything added. (If you could see the filing cabinet full you would understand why it is taking so long, that and along with the process of exhausting leads that my FIL wants to get finished up before his passing - which we hope is not anytime soon. He is in good health but getting up their in age.) 

Remember that all maiden names will be highlighted (blue).

I will be working as much as I can this weekend on the merging process and continue the updates to the book. I have a little extra time on my hands being in bed most of the week sick. Lol! So I am able to get some work done. I have received some new emails from new kin, I am so happy to be able to meet new people and really happy to be able to get this blog going and updated to help with your searching.

Until my next updated post - Happy hunting! Feel free to leave us a comment any time or email. I will do my best to update you all I can as quickly as I can. The digital book is coming and I hope to be able to announce soon the date. This will only be the revision of Chester Wallace Cones book as we have way to many leads going on right now to add the complete revision. So there will be an other book once I can get these leads narrowed down. I have a few emails out I am hoping to hear back from shortly. I mentioned in a previous post about the books I am hunting.

------>>>> Please, Please, Please! Get with us if you are currently holding a copy to any of these books. I recently corresponded with a descendant to Emma Cones Reicherter who wrote the 12 Diary/Journals. They were going to see if they could locate any but at this moment it is uncertain where any of these journals could be. If you are descendant to Emma Cones Reicherter and you possibly know where these diaries are please message us.

Thanks again in advance.

Christian Cones

F.A.G Merging:  (Maiden) names will be in BLUE


Christian Cones

Birth abt 1740,
Netherlands
Death Sep. 11, 1777
Brandywine, York County,
Pennsylvania, USA


Christian Cones is believed to be born abt 1740 in Holland, Germany; or Netherlands area.

He is believed to of died in the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777; drowning while crossing in Brandywine. Unfortunately, his final resting place is unknown. It is believed by some in the Cones family, that his remains may of returned to Lancaster County, Virginia, however, that has not been confirmed to this date.

There are several versions about Christian through out the Cones Family. While little is known or confirmed to date, we do know that he was married to a Grant and had a son named Jacob Riley Cones and 2 daughters.

It is believed that Christian had 2 possibly 3 brothers, yet to be confirmed by the sources we were given. Two possible names were noted as David and Peter, located in North Hampton County, Pennsylvania area. However both of their birth years are noted as 1750, yet to be confirmed. Another yet to be confirmed source notes that there is a brother in Kentucky and then of course Christians death in Brandywine.

--- Christian's son Jacob Cones from age 4 was raised by an English woman who's last name was thought to be Grant.
(Grant is said to be Jacob's mother's last name, since his uncle was John Grant who lived in Grants Lick, KY).

Christian Cones was believed to be of Holland and the first of the family to come to the American Colonies. He spoke only the Germanic language and settled near Germantown, PA. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War and served in the Germanic regiment and rose to the rank of Sergeant during his enlistment which was usually only 90 days.  He drowned while crossing the river during the Battle of Brandywine (this battle was forbidden by George Washington, but ordered by the PA officers). Christian left behind a wife, two daughters and Jacob. His wife remarried and her second husband was killed by Indians, she and the two girls were captured by Indians and never seen again.  ---

Find A Grave Memorials

Due to FAG merging duplicated memorials - we are merging our memorials here to keep track of the updates. We understand their concern for duplicated memorials, however, when it is family requesting the rights to update the information with the accurate information on the memorials as well as requesting the rights to maintain their loved ones memorials and the person holding possession of the memorial is more concerned about his stats then the family of the deceased, so he denies the updates or transfers, well it is no wonder their are so many duplicated memorials.

So with all of the issues and fuss we are going to begin merging our memorials we hold possession of to this blog and our ancestrial blog. We are family to all of the memorials we hold and we will continue to update these memorials with the most accurate to our knowledge information that has been verified before updating. We do not care about stats to how many deceased memorials we hold. We care about our deceased loved ones no matter where they are related to us and we give them the respect they deserve as well as their families. 

So please be advised we are beginning the merging process over the next few weeks.

** Please note, we will always credit the original source on our blog. If there was an original bio in one of our memorials we will credit that bio author. If there is no bio author credited then the original bio was created by me. Thanks for your understanding. **

Thanks in advance for your understanding.
