JONES (JOANES).
.
1. ROBERT, one of the early planters of Hing. was the ancestor of nearly all the families who have borne the surname Jones in this town. Richard and Thomas Jones received grants of land here in 1637 and 1638, but neither of these appear to have been residents of the town. A Richard Jones of Dor. d. in 1642; and a Thomas Jones d. there in 1667. There were Thomas Joneses also among the very early settlers of Charlestown, Concord, Newbury, Gloucester, Taunton, Springfield, Boston, and other places. Abraham Jones of Hull, 1657, was the fa. of seven sons, viz. : Benjamin, Thomas, Abraham, Josiah, Joseph, John, and Ephraim. But how any of the foregoing were connected with our Hing. fam. of Jones, if at all, is not clear. At the time the new meeting-house was built in Hing., 1680-81, there were but three persons of the surname Jones upon the tax-lists, viz. : Robert,
387
Jones.
Joseph, Sr., and Joseph, Jr .; i. e., father, son, and grandson. The re- corded wills and conveyances in Suffolk County, as well as the facts furnished by our local records and tax-lists, will throw much light upon the subject to those who seek further information relating thereto.
Robert Jones, according to the Genealogical Dictionary prepared by Mr. Savage, removed from here to Rehoboth ab. 1644, but soon re- turned again to Hing. He prob. was twice m .; but the name of his first w. is unk. to the writer. The chris. name of his sec. w. was Elizabeth. She outlived him, and d. in Hing. 25 Sept. 1712. He d. 17 Nov. 1691. In his will, dated at Hing. 20 Apr. 1688, he gives vari- ous small sums in shillings and pence "to sons Joseph, John, and Benjamin the elder; also to daughters Sarah Belknap, and Jane Col- lyer (Collier), and to my grand children which are the children of my son Robert Jones, deceased ; all of which sums of money are to be paid them at my now dwelling-house in Hingham. To my wife Eliz- abeth all my whole estate of houses, lands, and orchards, and all my meadows and shares in the commons and commonage which I possess either by gift or purchase or exchange; . . . and because my estate is but small I do hereby give my said wife full power to sell some of the said land to supply her immediate necessities," etc. He also be- queaths "to my son Benjamin Jones the younger, which the said Elizabeth my wife bear unto me, all my said estate after the death of his mother." Witnesses, James Hawke, Theophilus Cushing, Daniel Cushing. "Farmer; " or, as he calls himself in his will, "planter." Resided at Hing. Centre, "over the river."
Ch., by his first w., were -
i. ROBERT, prob. b. in Eng., m. Anna, dau. of John and Sibill Bibble. Resided . at Hull, and had issue. He d. before his fa.

With the exception of Thomas (perh. s. of Thomas the " tailor "), a non-resident, who m. in Hing. Dec. 29, 1673, Elizabeth Pitts, there is no further mention of this surname upon the early rec's of the town.
