I believe the connection of Thomas T. Jones to Edward and Clarissa (Offutt) Jones to be a very slim one indeed. There are at least two other stronger possibilities. I have never been able to find anything other than a marriage record for Edward and Clarissa. I believe this information came from Ovel Odes Jones many years ago. I spoke with him several times only about a year before his death, and at that time he told me no one knew who Thomas T.'s parents were. Since he was otherwise extremely helpful, sending me photos and information, even calling me long-distance, I doubt that he would have withheld that important piece of information if he still believed it to be true. He had a deceased cousin Raymond who submitted information to LDS that indicated --I believe -- a Joseph and Margaret Jones, also without strong evidence. When I questioned Odes about this, he said Raymond "had a lot of information, most of it wrong". If anyone has any solid evidence that David and Clarissa are Thomas T. Jones' parents, I would be most interested in hearing from them. Till that time, I think it would be prudent not to perpetuate this possible error, or at least clarify that this is an unproven relationship.

there are other trees that show his parents as David Thompson Jones b abt 1763 in VA and Jane Porter. This record shows Thomas T. (Thompson?) to be born in Fincaste, Botetourt Co, Virginia.
