JONES, JOHN 5 (Abraham,4 John, Abraham,2 Thomas 1), b. March 23, 1744; m. Abigail Cheney, Dec. 9, 1762; cer. by Rev. A. Frost. She was a dr. of William Cheney, jun., and Joanna (Thayer), his wf., b. Nov. 20, 1743. Their chn. were, -

If I correctly understand the ch. records, the fr., mr., and older chn. of this family were dismissed to a ch. being embodied in Wardsborough, Vt., about the yr. 1791. I therefore conclude that the whole family removed to and set. in that town about that time. So I trace them no further.

It seems that this family, too, emigrated to Wardsborough, Vt., not long after the preceding; for the ch. records say that Abraham Jones, jun., and wf. Olive were dismissed to the ch. in Wardsborough, Vt., June 22, 1795. Likewise Whitney Jones and Elizabeth (Hazeltine), his wf. Daniel Hazeltine had been dismissed to the same ch., Dec. 2, 1792; and May 26, 1793, his wf., Susanna (Jones) Hazeltine, received a like dismission. I therefore trace this family no further.

In a conversation with the late venerable Jared Rawson, then over 90 yrs. old, whose mr. was sister to Ruth (Nelson) Jones, he extolled his aunt Ruth as one of the noblest women ever raised in this vicinity, but gave her hus. a very different character. From his statements it appeared that he caused his aged fr. and his own family considerable trouble by his untoward habits of life. His fr. set. him handsomely with himself on his homestead, but afterwards on a large farm in Bungay, so called, which at length he sold to Daniel Hunt. Later he came back, on some terms, to the old homestead. Whatever were his faults, he and his wf. reared up a large, talented, and enterprising family, several of whom made a notable mark in the world. Alexander, the oldest, went into mercantile life at the South, and d. wealthy in Providence, R.I. Others of them won considerable distinction in the pursuits of life. The fr. d., as nearly as I can ascertain, during 1799, and his wid. perhaps 1805.

This family emigrated, and, if my impressions are correct, set. somewhere in Vt. Be this as it may, I cannot trace them further.

JONES FAMILIES.
JONES, TIMOTHY5 (Joseph,4 John,8 Abraham,2 Thomas 1), b. in the Dale, April 25, 1751; m. Ann Scammell, dr. of Dr. Samuel Leslie and Jane (Lib- bey) Scammell, bap. May 13, 1750; cer. Dec. 3, 1771, by Rev. Joseph Wil- lard. She was a sister of Gen. Alex. Scammell. Their chn. :-

JOHN SULLIVAN, bap. Aug. 4, 1776.
MARY WHITNEY, bap. March 1, 1778.
Must have emigrated. Cannot trace them further.
JONES, ASA6 (John,5 Abraham,4 John,3 Abraham,2 Thomas1), b. Nov. 20, 1763; m. Hannah Nelson, a twin dr. of Dea. Seth and Silence (Cheney) Nelson, b. Aug. 2, 1763; cer. Feb. 13, 1783, by Rev. A. Frost. Only a single child recorded here, -
SETH, bap. Nov. 25, 1785.
I infer from the ch. records that this family emigrated to Wardsborough, Vt., just previous to 1793; for it was voted, May 26th of that yr., to dismiss Hannah, the wf., and recommend her to the ch. in that place. No further traced.
JONES, DAVID, Esq.6 (Joseph,5 Joseph,4 John,& Abraham,2 Thomas 1), b. March 24, 1767; m., 1st, Polly Strong of Williamsburg, Pa., parentage not ascertained; published in Mil., Dec. 25, 1790; cer. prob. in Jan., 1791. Their chn. : -

NATHANIEL, b. Jan. 29, 1799; d. young.
DAVID NELSON, b. April 4, 1803; our well-known ice-cream caterer for sev- eral yrs.
David Jones, the hus. and fr., was a man of good intellectual powers, well informed by books, travel, and observation, a fluent and entertaining conver- sationist, a pleasing letter-writer, and a gentleman of much enterprise. He was for many yrs. an active citizen of his native place, and subsequently pros- ecuted his fortunes in other States for a considerable time. He lost his first wf., and I think most of his chn., in 179S and dates not ascertained. At length he returned hither to spend his declining days. Meantime he m., 2d, Mary Chapin, dr. of Adams and Olive (Sumner) Chapin, b. Aug, 28, 1793; cer. took place, I suppose, in Boston, 1833, prob. in October, but by whom I have not ascertained. He d. here, Sept. 29, 1841; and I ministered at his funeral. This date is according to my record, but his gravestone says Oct. 20. There is an error between the two; I think my record must be correct. His worthy wid. d. Sept. 17, 1866. His son David N. Jones, famous for his flowers and ice-cream, d. Oct. 20, 1861, a. 52 yrs. I am not critically informed in the details of his personal and domestic history, but infer that he left no descendants.
Another lineage of Joneses came into our territory from Holl. I know not what relationship, if any, the Holl. ancestor sustained to our Eld. John. His name was Thomas, and in Sherborn he was at one time its heaviest tax-payer. He had a son Jonathan; and he a son Jonathan. This grandson of Thomas owned a farm in Braggville, lying mostly in Holl., where his oldest chn. were b. He sold that farm to Aaron Pond. He then came up into our Centre, in 1767,

and bought out Phinehas Lovett, who owned 86 acres of land, with what were then considered respectable buildings. This was afterwards known as the Col. Godfrey place and tavern-stand, or was at least the nucleus thereof. Lovett had been for some time a licensed retailer of spirituous liquors there, and Jones presently fitted up the premises for a tavern. The Worcester records show that he forthwith took out a regular innholder's license. He kept this establish- ment with success for several yrs., and at length sold it out to John Robinson, a son of the Ichabod Robinson who opened our first inn, some yrs. earlier. Just how Jonathan Jones disposed of himself after he sold out to Robinson, I have not learned, but have been told that he removed with his family to Orange, set. there, spent the remainder of his days comfortably, and has left behind him a numerous posterity. Concerning his descendants, out of this town, I know nothing. He appears to have been a man of much executive ability and enter- prise, and to have stood well, both in the church and general society, together with his wf. and family. In his day it was no scandal to piety for a man to be a licensed rumseller. I suppose that he and his wf. d. in Orange. I tabulate the family thus : -

Capt. Ezekiel dwelt on or near what is now called Congress St. He was an honest, peaccable, laborious citizen. Our elderly and middle-aged inhabitants will remember him as a trustworthy marketman and common carrier, in ante- railroad days, even down to old age, driving that covered horse-wagon every week regularly to Boston, carrying and fetching many good things for his towns- men, and often wearily trudging on foot to favor his laden horse. His wf. d. June 1, 1829; and he d. Aug. 13, 1845, a. 87 yr's.

JONES, JOHN WILLARD, promised to post me on his family record, and that of his relatives in Orange; but I received nothing from him, and must send this to press without further information concerning this lineage.
Another different race of Joneses has been represented among our inhabit- ants, and still is. These descended from John Jones, first of Boston, and after- wards of Hop. I can ascertain no family relationship between this John of Boston and our Eld. John of Hull; though it is possible they may have been of the same stock. This JOHN 1 from Boston m.

The parents appear to have res. in Framingham a few yrs., and then in that part of Hop. now Ashland. The fr. was a talented and influential man in his day, -colonel of militia, just. peace, leading town-officer, a widely employed land-surveyor, arbitrator of legal controversies, wealthy landholder, and withal the holder of several negro slaves. It was he who was called hither by our Easterly Precinct, with four other referees, April 13, 1743, to "state " the spot on which their meeting-house should stand. See Chap. V. He d. Feb. 7, 1773, a. 82.
