Aaron Jones is listed in the 1850 US Census in Pike County, Georgia, in the household of Seaborn Jones, the son of Isaac, as being 69 years of age. This places his birth around 1781.  It is likely, though not proven, that this Aaron Jones, of Pike County, is identical to the Aaron Jones who married Dicey Willoughby in Warren County, Georgia on February 14, 1800. While this would place his marriage at a time when he was approximately 19, a very young age, there are a number of reasons for believing that they are indeed the same man. 

1)      Pheby Jones, the daughter of Aaron Jones of Pike County, married Solomon Willoughby. While the relationship between Solomon Willoughby and Dicey Willoughby is not certainly nailed down, it is very likely that they were siblings. "Aron Willoby" appears in the 1805 Warren County, Georgia tax list on the same page as Aaron Jones.

2)      Zillerann (or Zilla Ann) Jones, the daughter of Aaron Jones of Pike County, named one of her daughters, by James Oliver Perry Weathers, Dicey Ann Elizabeth Weathers (She was born in 1843 in Barnesville, Georgia.).

3) The Jones and Willoughby families moved freely across the shared Columbia/Warren county line (which then existed) and which was less than five miles from the Isaac Jones home on Little River. In fact, Aaron Willoughby married Sarah Benson in Columbia County on July 25, 1800. Dicy Willoughby married Aaron Jones in February of that same year in Warren County.

Aaron Jones died in Pike County, Georgia in 1853. In his will he listed his five daughters, but no sons. While he may have omitted sons who were dead, or “well off”, it is most likely that he had no sons who survived to have children. In his will, Aaron Jones mentioned two men with close connections to Isaac Jones. 1) John B. Jones was John Barney Jones, the son of Isaac Jones, and 2) John Wadsworth, whose daughter Mary married Isaac's son Aaron Francis Flounoy Jones. Also, Aaron Jones' will was witnessed by William R. Jones, who was Isaac's son, William Riley Jones. 

In 1850, Aaron, who was a widower, was living in the household of Isaac's son, Seaborn Jones.

Aaron Willoughby appears (at age 85) in the 1850 US Census for Pike County, Georgia, living near Solomon Willoughby.   [Note: William Willoughby b. 1759, a Rev. War veteran, was living in Richmond Co., GA by 1790 when he married Jerusha (Jerusalem) Jones, a daughter of Thomas Jones of Green County, Georgia.  Thomas Jones died in Columbia County, Georgia in 1804 listing his children in his will as: William, Thomas, Robert, Ellis James, Jerusalem, Mary, Sarah, and Ann.  While William Willoughby was not the father of Aaron, he might have been related. William Willoughby was from Virginia.] [Note: Wrial Willoughby b. 1808 in Wilson County, North Carolina, the son of Cader/Kader Willoughby and Susannah Moody, of Johnston Co., N.C was married 1st to a Elizabeth Watts and they had 11 children: Pinkney, Richard, Solomon, Martha, Susan, John, William, James, Aaron, Andrew, and Anthony.

While Isaac Jones was registered in the 1805 land lottery in Columbia County, Georgia, no Aaron Jones was listed. Two Aaron Joneses were, however, registered in Warren County, Georgia. One of these was a married man with children (since he received two draws) as Aaron Jones of Pike County was at the time. The other, the son of the Rev. Adam Jones of the Long Creek area was single.  Adam Jones was a Baptist preacher at the Long Creek Baptist Church in  Warren County, Georgia. He was born, probably in Virginia, in about 1755 and died in  Warren County on October 1, 1830. Adam was the son of Benjamin Jones and Joanna who had migrated from Virginia to Butte County, North Carolina by 1771. Three of Benjamin’s sons, Thomas Jones, James Jones, and Adam Jones migrated to Baldwin County, Georgia after the Revolutionary War (in an area that would become Warren County).  Benjamin died in Butte County, NC. In 1821, Aaron Jones, son of Adam, was awarded Lot 139 in District 17 of Henry County, Georgia. However, he was declared "incompetent" or "insane" in court at Warren County and his father bought the land at auction. In 1824 his brother Adam Jr., was named as his guardian. When Elijah Jones, son of Adam died he referred to Aaron Jones in his will as his "half brother" and expressed a desire for his brother Thomas to support him. This description of Aaron, son of Adam Jones of Warren County is inconsistent with Aaron Jones of Pike County, Georgia and eliminates Adam as the father of Aaron Jones of Pike County. 

Since the Aaron Willoughby family was in Warren County by the 1805 time frame, this adds support to the idea that the two families were connected.  In the 1805 Tax List for Columbia County, Georgia, Isaac is listed, as a single man, living on 125 acres adjacent to Nathan Jones on the Little River.

On June 26, 1806, The Second (1807) Lottery of Georgia, Act of Legislature was passed.  Five new counties were made out of parts of Baldwin and Wilkinson Counties:  Morgan, Randolph (later to become Jasper County), Jones, Putnam, and Telfair.  Baldwin County's boundary was moved southward a few miles into Wilkinson County.

By 1807, Aaron Jones was living in Baldwin County, Georgia (district 2) and he drew land lot 195, District 13 in Wilkinson County, Georgia.

By 1812, Aaron Jones appears in Morgan County on the Tax List in Captain Malone’s District along with James Shadrick (Shaddix), Isaac Jones, William Shadric (Shaddix), James Aikens, William Aikens, George Jeffreys, John Swanson, Nathan Jones, and Andrew Patrick.

Benjamin's son Adam had sons named Nathan Jones and Seaborn Jones.
