QRYTEXT: Is the William JONES listed in the Russell County, Virginia property tax lists for 1796-1800, the same William JONES that migrated to Franklin County, Indiana in the early 1800's? Note: Elizabeth ALLEY whom married Squire OSBORN migrated to Franklin County in 1810. Squire accidentally drowned during their first venture west in 1808/9. Curious if this William JONES is the same due to the others that migrated and families do sometimes tend to stick together. Two children are Isaac JONES and probably Rebecca JONES.

QRYTEXT: Francois Pierre DE TUBEUF fled France in 1791. With a loan from the state of Virginia for 600 pounds, he purchased land in Russell Cty, VA to organize a French colony on the banks of the Clinch River. De Tubeuf along with Louisa DUCHESNE, Charles DE SPADA (my ancestor), Cesar LEFEBRE, Eusebe DELAPLANCHE, and Simon PERCHET executed the bond for the loan. The settlement was called Sainte Marie on the Clinch. DE TUBEUF was murdered in 1795 and the settlement must have folded when his sons went back to France about 1803. I know that my gggggrandfather, Charles DE SPADA, had a child who was in Baltimore in the 1820s. Does anyone know what happened to the these French immigrants and where they went. I'm particularly interested in Louisa Duchesne -- maybe she became my gggggrandmother. Any information would be most appreciated.
