Jones County
Jones County, Georgia was created in 1807 and named for Hon. James Jones, who
was born in 1769 in Maryland, but came to Georgia as a boy in the care of his
uncle, Col. Marbury.
Jones Co was formed by an act of the Legislature December 10, 1807 from original
Baldwin County which was formed May 11, 1803. Jones County was laid out in 1807;
part added from Putnam in 1810; a five mile slice given to Bibb in 1822, and since
then county boundaries have remained stationary.
