I am not sure in respond to your statement. However, in the same Biography of Alexander W. Jones. The statement was made
on the 4th of October 1886, A. W. Jones and associates became the purchasers, at public sale at Selma, Ala. of the New Oreans, with its present western terminus at Martin's Station. After the sale, a new corporation was formed under the name of Birminghan, Selma & New Orleans Railway Company,
with A. W. Jones as president, and he is having the road put in fine condition, preparatory to extening it to a western connection, which when opened, will give it a short line to New Orleans. Besides being president of this company, he is also one of the directors of the City National Bank of Selma, the strongest and most sucessful bank in the State.

This is all I have... So do you have any more to add.

Thank you.
