Elizabeth is supposed to have named each of her sons with the last name of his father.
There were several Jones families in Chatham Co on the 1830 census.
Elizabeth's father is on p429. The closest Joneses are Nazareth on p427 and Edmund on p424.
There is a Penny Jones on p432, but her oldest son is 5-10. Technically that son could be Jones' father, but it's unlikely.
