Jones appointed Town of Southport Historian [August 2007]
Elmira, New York - J. Kelsey Jones was appointed to the position of
Historian by the Town of Southport Board at a meeting held on July 10,
2007. He has been involved in the community in the preservation of historical
and genealogical records for many years. He was a founding board member
of the Southport Historical Society and is currently President of the Board
of Trustees of the Bradford County Historical Society in Towanda, Pennsylvania.
Jones stated, "When I could first drive at age sixteen I would make
trips to historical societies, courthouses, and cemeteries. No one really
took a sixteen-year old very serious about their interest in their pursuit
of their ancestry."
Well acquainted with former historians Nelda COOK Holton and Virginia
WHEELER McElroy he hopes to continue their legacy of gathering further
records of Southport and assist members of the community with questions
relating to the history of the Town of Southport.
