Was it a young DeGarmo Jones who participated in the War of 1812 as a drummer boy too?
Mr. Jones was on a list of Detroit's wealthy elite here.
This excerpt illustrates DeGarmo Jones doing business, as wealthy businessmen do:
"In the year 1841, the first mill was erected for working the gypsum deposits, by Warren Granger and Daniel Ball near the place where Plaster Creek crosses the old Grandville road (now Chicago Drive). The land was owned by Mr. Degarmo Jones of Detroit, who had secured 80 acres of this land before 1838, and these men paid Jones rent in plaster delivered by water at Detroit."
From this website, a sale of property by DeGarmo Jones, et al:
DeGarmo Jones sold the NE quarter of the SE quarter of Section 34 T3 R1E containing 40 acres more or less for $100 to Alexander Hamilton Willard Jr 7 Nov 1843 in Iowa County, Wisconsin Territory.
