Hello,
I am so sorry that this reponse was so delayed.I never got an email saying that a response was posted and I just discovered this response today.
Below you will find a document that was sent to me by the Canisteo, NY Historical Society.This is the town where the "swale" is located in Steuben, NY.
I just sent you an email (I think).I would love to hear any additional information you might have on Charles son Joshua Jones.I want to confirm he had a son named Simeon Jones.I am looking for the Simeon Phineas Jones who is my great great great grandfather.I am starting to wonder if my Simeon was the son of Charles or the Son of Charles' son Joshua as I originally thought.Any information you might have would be great.
Thanks for your help!
