Way back in time there was a Benjamin Major in Camden or Fairfield =
area... I don't have anything on him but Leonardo did a paper on Major =
in SC and he is on that... Try LDS records... It sounds like your family =
may descend from him.

Is the above Jonas the father of  Benjamin who according to family  =

 died in Bibb Co., AL in 1846.  He married Polley (maiden name unknown). =

Ireland.

I find that a son of Benjamin (1773-1846) named a son Jonas Major.  =
Would like to investigate a possible connection.  Would like input  from =
anyone who has information on the above Jonas and his children Benjamin, =
Major, Jonas, grandson Robin Griffen and dau. Jennet Brewton.  Does =
