Subject: Nancy Golding

I am writing to you in connection to your page about the Goldings. I believe that my family connects to yours at Nancy Golding.

In Grayson county, Minitree Powell Jones (b. 2/6/1792) married Nancy Golden (b. 3/6/1795). I believe that this is your Nancy Golding who you have listed as born 1794. My notes show that Nancy Golden had a brother William (as does your Nancy Golding), and that her father was William Golden married to S. Burnes (similar to your William Golding married to Sarah Burnes). I believe these are the same Nancy.

These years in Virginia were given to western expansion and counties were being formed quickly.
- 1776 Montgomery county was created, from Bototot and Fincastle
- 1789 Wythe county was created, breaking off from Montgomery
- 1792 Grayson county was created, taking parts of Montgovery and Patrick

The Jones family had also originated from England. Minitree Powell Jones's father, Minitree Jones owned a substantial amount of land along New River in what then (in 1792) Grayson county, and was one of the few slaveholders at the time.

Minitree Powell Jones and Nancy Golden(ing), had (at least) 2 daughters: Elizabeth Jones and Sally Jones.
- Sally married John Isom and their son, Minitree Jones Isom was Captain in Georgia Battery B (1/31/1864) CSA
- Elizabeth married Alfred Hale, and their daughter Nancy married Minitree Jones Isom (her 1st cousin)
