Kentucky Kindred Genealogy 
This should be Rachel Jones Who married John Jones, There is record of a court case extant in the Kentucky State Archives that tells of Mr Jones return to Bath County Kentucky from Ohio. In October of 1832, too ill to continue his journey, Mr Jones stopped in at the home of John Gorrell, who was married to Anna Green sister to Rachel Green Jones. Here in that month, John Jones died. A lengthy court battle ensued between John Gorrell and the heirs of John Jones to recover the costs of the care of John Jones and his children up to his death and burial.
Thank you. I have made the correction.
