John A. B. Jones was a son of John G. and Jane A. Jones. He, like his father,
was a Methodist minister. The book filmed here is a text book (1852–1864),
in which is regularly recorded the passages of scripture ever preached
from by John A. B. Jones from the time of his first attempt at Mount Carmel,
Coles Creek Circuit, Mississippi Conference, October 10, 1852. The texts
are numbered and the time and place when each was preached from is given.
This book reveals the names of a number of obscure Methodist churches in
Mississippi, some of which no longer exist.
