Nathan Jones enlisted in Duplin County NC and died in Bladen County about 1829
Additional affidavit of Wiley Hall, Cumberland County, NC
Wiley Hall of Bladen County appeared before a Justice of the Peace and 
declared that Jane was the wife of Nathaniel Jones and that he was previously 
married to another woman and had children by both women and after his death 
they all had equal shares in his property and that Jane had a dower of land on 
the estate of her husband and that she now owns a slave that belonged to her 
husband and that her husband could not obtain a pension because he had more 
property that the Act of Congress would allow. I have heard him speak of Col. 
Anderson and Captain Mills, Lieutenant Slade and heard him and Sander Simmons 
and Jeremiah Simmons talk together and say that they were all in the service 
together in the state of South Carolina on Ashley River at Ashley Hill in the 
years 1780 and 81 and I have been personally acquainted with the claimant Jane 
Jones for the last thirty years.
