Ebenezer may have lived on the Indian lands in Blount County, Tennessee wi th his mother Ann and brothers Prettyman and Zachariah, as he was issued a passport to enter the Indian lands on 2 June 1798. Others that were issued a passport at the same time were James Heuston; John Hueston; John Edwards; John Simons; Thos Simons; Tho Telford; Mathew Hueston his wife a nd negro girl; James Gillispie his wife & small girl, Wm Small; and Alex Gillispie.1
Ebenezer performed jury duty in Blount County. On 28 August 1804 Prettyman JONES gave his power of attorney to Ebenezer.2 I believe that Prettyman and Zachariah moved from Blount County to Buffalo Valley, JACKSON County, Tennessee at this time. I believe Ebenezer moved directly to White County from Blount County. He is in court minutes of Blount County on 24 May 1806 and 27 August 1808.2 On 23 May 1810 by grant number 1281 Ebenezer was granted 217 ¼ acres of land in Blount by right of occupancy.3 The land was also surveyed on 13 June 1807 and was on a branch of Sinking Creek. As Ebenezer JONES of White County, Tennessee he sold this land on 4 November 1817 to ALEXANDER Wilson.4 The deed states the land was on waters of Cloyd?s Creek, and adjoined John Woody, Samuel Dixon, James Curry and John Simons. Witnesses to the deed were JACOB JONES, Ruben Casada and Joseph Duncan.
Ebenezer was in White County, Tennessee, by 20 January 1810, as he was one of the witnesses to a deed from Prettyman JONES to Zachariah JONES.5 He was appointed as a road Commissioner on 13 May 1811.6 He lived in the Glade Creek area of northern White County. In White County he had 23 acres of land surveyed on 10 Aug 1814 7 and 1508 acres surveyed on 11 Aug 1814. These two tracts of land were on Glade Creek of the Caney Fork River. The survey chain carrier for the two tracts of land were HENRY Williams, William Kerr, Ruben Cassady and William Ward. The 150 acre tract bordered William Ray and John Howard. On the 3rd and 6th of October 1818, he had two more tracts of land surveyed on Glade Creek in White County. One survey was for 10 acres of land on west boundary of James Pearce9, and the other tract was also for 10 acres of land including a cabin below Ebenezer.10 The survey chain carriers for both surveys were William JONES and Reuben Cassady. His final land survey was on 11 May 1827 for 50 acres on Glade Creek.11 The lands beginning point was the Northeast corner of Ebenezer?s 20 acre survey. The land bordered William B. JONES and Kerr. The survey chain carriers were Charles Certain and Thomas JONES. Ebenezer purchased 50 acres of land on Glade Creek on 7 October 1830 from William B. JONES. This land begin on the Southwest corner of Ebenezer?s 10 acres. In the same deed William B. JONES also conveyed his right in two 10 acre tracts of land entered by Ebenezer and conditionally sold by Ebenezer to William B.12 The witnesses to this deed were John T. Goodwin and Thomas JONES. On 12 August 1839 Ebenezer sold land on Glade Creek to Stephen C. Pistole, and Thomas Fitch and Riley JONES witnessed the deed.13 As Ebenezer JONES, Sr he sold his 150 acres of land to Henderson M. JONES, and Thomas Fitch and Riley JONES witnessed the deed.14 The 1828 and 1829 White County Tax Lists show that Ebenezer owned one slave.
We have no record that names any of the children of Ebenezer, but from the associations with each other, tax lists and census records we have a good idea of some of his children. On 1829 tax list of William B and James R. JONES. In 1836 and 1837 William B. and Riley are listed with him, but this is apparently the estate of William B. as he was dead by October 1 835 In 1838 Ebenezer is listed in District ?7 or 8 with William B., Zachariah, Riley, Ebenezer and Richard JONES. Henderson M., DOUGLAS, Madison F. and James R are listed together in District 7 in 1847, 1848, 1849 and 1850. The 1850 census of White County, Tennessee, District 7, shows Ebenezer with Elizabeth as family number 1266 age 76 born in Delaware. Next door to Ebenezer as number 1267 was Richard J. JONES. Number 1268 was Henderson M. JONES, and number 1269 was Madison JONES. James R. JONES was list ed as family number 1255 in District 7. In the 1860 census of Warren County, Tennessee, Ebenezer is living in McMinnville with Ebenezer JONES age 44 blacksmith. There are associations in Warren County of Ebenezer JONES the blacksmith and Henderson M. JONES. There was a common support among what we feel were his sons for the Union during the Civil War. Descendants of Barnabas JONES that now live in Peeled Chestnut area of White County claim they are related to Hugh JONES and Ralph JONES. Ralph JONES and Nell JONES both state they are related to Berry (Barnabas) H. JONES of Baxter, Tennessee as told by their family, but do not know how they are related. In the 1830 census of White County Ebenezer is listed with six white males under age 10; three white males age 10 to 16; one male over age 45; one female under age 5; one female age 16 to 26; one female age 26 to 45 and four males slaves age 14 to 26. The 1830 census of White County has lis ted with Ebenezer one male under age 5; two males age 5 to 10; three males age 10 to 15; three males age 15 to 20; one male 50 to 60 and one female age 40 to 50. On the 1840 census of White County Ebenezer is listed with one male age 10 to 15; two males age 15 to 20; one male age 20 to 30; one male age 70 to 80 and one female age 70 to 80.
In the pension application of Ebenezer?s sister, Comfort, Elizabeth JONES states she first met Ebenezer and his family when she was nine years old (1790) in Iredell County, North Carolina and that the JONES and HARVEY families moved to Blount County, Tennessee in 1796 when she was fifteen. In 1799 Ebenezer returned to Iredell County and married her. Children:
