Andrew Jones was born in Hardeman County, Tennessee, the son of William Andrew Jones and Rebecca Box Jones.
Andrew and Mary Ann Jones' children: William T., Mary Jane, Jesse, John Marion, Martha Adeline, Dickey, Alice and Louella E.
According to some Jones family researchers, the Jones Family moved from Mississippi to Amity in 1848 or 1849 and lived in a log house near the present-day Jones Cemetery. Jones Cemetery might have started as a family cemetery for the Jones', as Andrew and Mary Ann's son, Dickey Jones, who died in 1866, is one of the oldest graves in the cemetery.
During the Civil War, many men in Amity and Alpine, including Andrew Jolly Jones, first joined the Confederacy, sometimes against their will, but later escaped from the Confederate Army and made their way home, and then on to Benton where they joined the Union Army and served the remainder of the War in the 4th Arkansas Cavalry for the Union.
