Jeffery Jones 1830-1911

Jeffery Jones is my 3rd great grandfather. He was born 25 Oct 1830 in Ohio. He was a farmer.

1850 Federal Census Record for Clinton, Indiana

In 1840-1850 he lived in Owen,Clinton, Indiana. With his parents. Samuel and Mary Jones. Samuel was 68 years old. Which puts his birth abt 1782 in New Jersey. Mary was 57. Born abt 1793 in Virginia. He had 3 brother James born abt 1835 in Ohio, Jacob born 1839 in Ohio and Isaac born 1834 born in Ohio.

I am hoping to find where in Ohio they were born at. The hard part in research is that they had a very common name "Jones" I am hoping that my DNA results would leading to the right group of Jones in Ohio and New Jersey. I am hoping to find a marriage record for Jeffery mother and father. Were they married in Ohio?
