(VIII) Lucien E., only son of William and Elisabeth M. (Mann) Jones, was born May 26. 1834, in Claremont, New Hampshire, and remained on the parental homestead where he died January 3, 1891. He was married, May 26, 1869, to Ellen Jor- dan McLoughlin, widow of Francis Chase Mc- Loughlin, and daughter of Charles P. Jordan, of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. She survives and resides with her youngest son, on the homestead. where three generations have lived their entire lives.

(VIII) Helen Elisabeth, youngest child of Wil- liam and Elisabeth M. (Mann) Jones, was born Au- gust 29, 1838, in Claremont, New Hampshire, and was married, August 9, 1865, to George Franklin Davis, of Windsor, Vermont. He was a son of Daniel Davis, who was born in Springfield. Ver- mont, a son of John and Elizabeth (Herrick) Da- vis, Chelmsford, Massachusetts. His mother, Alice Morgan, was born in Wethersfield, Vermont, a daugh- ter of Colonel Samuel and Sybil (Huntington) Morgan, of Windham, Connecticut. The last named was a daughter of Eliphalet Huntington, who was born April 24, 1737, and died in Windham. Con- necticut, June 15, 1799. Mr. Davis died in Windsor, Vermont, May 18, 1900. He was a very active busi- ness man all his life, and · dropped dead at eight o'clock in the morning, while directing his men about some farm work. He was a breeder of fine stock, for which, he found a ready market in Illinois and Mis- souri, at whose fairs he received numerous prem- iums. He spent the summers of 1869-70-71-72 in Kansas and Missouri, buying up large quantities of wool which he shipped to the Boston market. His first trip to the west was made at the age of six- teen years. In 1856-57 he resided in Springfield, Illinois, where his eldest child was born. After the death of his father he settled on the paternal acres in Windsor. At one time lie had forty choice colts of his own breeding. He traveled much in New England and Canada, and was a noted story-teller. As he left his door for the last time, he turned back to relate a pleasing anecdote. Of his three children only one is living, namely :

1866, in Springfield, Illinois. He resides with his mother, on the estate of his father in Windsor, one of the old landmarks of that town. It includes five hundred acres lying on the west bank of the Con- necticut river, and extending to Mount Ascutney. (Third Family.)

JONES This name is very numerously repre- sented in New Hampshire and has borne no inconsiderable part in the de- velopment of the state and its best interests. Its representatives have been modest and have made few claims to public attention, but the name has always carried with it respectability, faithfulness to duty and a firm standing in behalf of principle.

(I) Robert Jones is supposed to have been born about 1633. It is quite possible that he was a son of Thomas Jones, who was at Newbury in 1637, and Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1650. Robert Jones was granted a "township" in Amesbury, Massachu- setts, in 1666, and the next year received "chil- dren's land" for his son. He appears of record as a commoner and holder of a meeting house seat in 1667. and in the same year "Goodwife Jones" had a seat. He served under Captain Turner in King Philip's war, and participated in the Falls Fight in 1686. He signed a petition in 1630, and the records show himself and wife to have been living in 1686. He is referred to as Robert Jones Senior, in 1710. This is the last record of him, and his death does not appear. He was married about 1658 to Joanna Osgood, daughter of William and Elizabeth Os- good, pioneer residents of Salisbury, Massachusetts. She was born about 1638. Their children were : William, Robert, Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary, Hannah, Samuel and Jonathan.

(II) Joseph, third son and fourth child of Rob- ert and Joanna (Osgood) Jones, was born October 7, 1664, in Salisbury, and resided in Amesbury. The inventory of his estate was made in 1689, indicating that he was at that time deceased. He was mar- ried before 1689 to Mary Gould, daughter of Na- than and Elizabeth Gould. of Amesbury. She was born June 24, 1661, and 'lived at some time in the service of George Carr, of Amesbury. She sur- vived her husband, and was still living in 1714. Their children were: John, Damaris, Hannah and Mary.

(III) John, eldest child and only son of Joseph and Mary (Gould) Jones, resided in Amesbury. The record of his birth does not appear. He was married (first), April 27, 1706, in Amesbury, to Hannah "Hoege" of that town. His second wife was Susanna Fowler (intention of marriage pub- lished April 28, 1711, at Amesbury), daughter of Samuel and Hannah (Worthen) Fowler, grand- daughter of Samuel Fowler, and great-granddaugh- ter of Philip Fowler, of Ipswich, who was born before 1600, and died in 1678. She was born March 10, 1679, in Salisbury, and was still living in 1727. The will of Joseph Jones was made January 16, 1750, and proved June 25 following, which indicates the time of his death. His children were: Ebene- zer (or Eleanor), Hannah, Abigail, Mary, Ann, Nathan, Lydia, Joseph, John, Susanna, Abner and Ezekiel. (Joseph and descendants receive mention in this article).

(IV) Nathan, eldest son and sixth child of John Jones and son of his second wife Susanna Fowler, was born, 1717, in Amesbury and settled in Kings- ton. New Hampshire. His wife's name was "Allas" and they were identified with the first church of Kingston.

(V) Jonathan, son of Nathan and Allas Jones, was born September 2, 1756. in Kingston, and set-

tled in Danville, New Hampshire. His wife's name, as appears on the vital records of New Hampshire, was Nanney. He must have had two wives, as the records of South Hampton show his marriage, Ali- gust 23, 1781, to Judith Jones, whose maiden name may or may not have been Jones. The records show the births of the following children: Jacob, Daniel, Jonathan, Ezekiel, and perhaps others.

(VI) Ezekiel, son of Jonathan and Nanney Jones, was born January 19, 1790, in Danville and died in Lakeport, 1874, aged eighty-four years. He settled first in Lakeport, and later was engaged in farming in Center Harbor. In politics lie was a Republican, and in religious faith a Baptist. He married (first), Louise Timothy, and (second), Cynthia Clark, who was born in Moultonborough, July 1, 1817, and died in Lakeport, November 17, 1898, aged eiglity-one years. By his second wife he had two children: Samuel Robinson and Eben Clark.

(VII) Samuel Robinson, elder of the two sons of Ezekiel and Cynthia (Clark) Jones, was born in Center Harbor, August 13, 1834, and died January 13, 1901. He attended the common schools, and then served as a locomotive fireman on the Boston, Concord & Montreal railroad, running principally between Concord and Woodsville, New Hamp- shire. Later he was promoted to engineer and ran an engine while he remained in the service. He then became a mechanic in the employ of the Con- cord & Montreal Railroad Company, and for twenty-seven years worked in their shops at Lake- port. Subsequently he engaged in the grocery busi- ness at Lakeport, where he did a profitable busi- ness. In 1879 he opened a branch store at Gilford, and carried on the two until 1898. He married Sarah Jane Durgin (deceased), who was born in Sanbornton. June 26, 1837, and they had one child, Herbert A., the subject of the next paragraph.

(VIII) Herbert Almon, son of Samuel R. and Sarah Jane (Durgin) Jones, was born in Lakeport, April 18, 1861, and attended the common schools of his native village and the Tilton Seminary, taking a commercial course at the latter institution. At the close of his school attendance he entered his father's store at Gilford, where he was employed as a clerk until 1898, when he bought out both his father's stores, and has since conducted them as sole owner. Mr. Jones is one of the leading mer- chants of his town, and has the confidence and re- spect of his townsmen. In politics he is a Repub- lican. He was assistant postmaster nineteen years ; trustee of the town library three terms, and town clerk since 1894. He married, June 24, 1883. Lizzie Emma Hunter, who was born in Gilford, Septem- ber II, 1861, daughter of Heman and Mary Jane (Folsom) Hunter. They have three children : Gardner Hunter, born in Gilford, June 3, 1888; Helen May, born July 27, 1890; and Carrie Maud, born October 10, 1897.

(IV) Joseph (2) second son and eighth child of John Jones, by his second wife, Susanna Fowler, was born 1722, in Amesbury, and settled in Kingston, New Hampshire, where he was married. January II, 1744, to Abigail Flanders. Their children were : Philip, Richard, Johanna, Joseph and James.

(V) Richard, second son and child of Joseph (2) and Abigail (Flanders) Jones, was born February 19, 1750, in Kingston. He was a resident for many years in that part of Gilmanton, New Hampshire, which is now Belmont. He was married there, September 12, 1774, to Anna Weed, who bore him four children : James, Nicholas, Anna and Susan. After 1760 he removed to the wilderness of

Carroll county and settled in Wolfboro, where he cleared up land and established a home. He was a devout member of the Society of Friends, and was one of the four persons who formed a meeting of Friends in Gilmanton about the year 1780. He was an upright and modest man, and gave his attention to making a home for himself and family, paying no attention to political affairs. As a consequence very little is found of him in the records.

(VI) James, son of Richard and Anna (Weed) Jones, was born August 31, 1775, in Gilmanton, now Belmont, New Hampshire. He was faithful to the religious instruction of his parents and all his life walked honestly as a consistent member of the So- ciety of Friends. In the same manner lived Nicholas, his brother, who appears to have shared with James the fortunes of life during his earlier years. James Jones was both a tiller of the soil, and a manufac- turer of linseed oil at Jones Mills, Gilmanton, New Hampshire, and as a Friend probably took small interest in the affairs of the town in which he lived. James Jones married Ruth Hanson of Franconia, New Hampshire, and had four sons, Richard, Amos, James and William Jones.

(VII) Amos, second of the four sons of James and Ruth (Hanson) Jones, was born at Jones Mill, at Gilmanton, New Hampshire, May 18, 1816, and died there April 16, 1849. He too was a Friend, and married in that faith. In 1848 he moved with his father's family to Dover, New Hampshire, He mar- ried Hannah Bean Bassett of Wolfboro. She was born there March 18, 1816, and died March 13, 1889. Their children were John Gurney, Daniel Wheeler, Charles Amos, James Edward and George Wash- ington Jones. The latter died in infancy.

(VIII) Charles Amos, third child and son of Amos and Hannah Bean (Bassett) Jones, was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, March 31, 1844, and was four years old when his father died. As a boy he attended the public schools at Gilmanton and Weare. He lived in the family of his grandparents in Gilmanton until old enough to begin work on his own account. When fourteen years old he went to Weare and found employment in the woolen mills. He was quick to learn, faithful in the perfor- mance of every duty given to him and in the course of a short time became well acquainted with the de- tails of the work in the several departments of the factory. In one capacity and another Mr. Jones con- tinued his connection with the mills in Weare more than twenty years, and during that time formed an excellent acquaintance with the people of the town and became interested in various local institutions. He is one of the charter members of Mt. William Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and still is in good standing with that organization. For several years he served as member of the school board and in 1879 represented Weare in the lower house of the state legislature. In 1879 he was offered and accepted the position of superintendent of the Contoocook Mills at Hillsborough, New Hampshire, and soon afterward moved to that town. There, as in Weare, he has become identified with the best interests of the locality. He is a member of the Congregational Society of Hillsborough and has held the office of treasurer of that society more than twenty-five years.

On October 2, 1867, Mr. Jones married Anna Maria Sawyer of Weare, who was born May 3, 1847. She is a daughter of the late Allen Sawyer, born August, 1803, and died March 15, 1867, and Mary B. (Peaslee) Sawyer, born in Henniker, New Hampshire, December 26, 1819, and died February 26, 1882. The children of Charles Amos and Anna

Maria (Sawyer) Jones are Helen Mabel, born Sep- tember 16, 1878; Anna Alice, born April 7, 1871, and died June 7, 1871; and Chauncey Giles, a son by adoption, born December 7, 1875.

(Fourth Family.)

This surname undoubtedly has been JONES handed down from the Welsh of a period within the twelfth or thirteenth century, and while perhaps the name prevailed among that people for centuries, it eventually spread throughout England with the emigration of the seventeenth and eigliteenth centuries found num- erous representatives in America. The name itself is only one of the many derivations of the simple root John. In England there are known at least seventy-three distinct families of the surname Jones, each with its own coat-of-arms, and from these English and Welsh Joneses have sprung the later numerous families of that name in America, now more numerous beyond all question than in any other country of the earth. It cannot be said, there- fore, that all the Joneses of America are descended from a common ancestor, or from one of the prov- erbial "three brothers." There are extant today at least half a dozen Jones family genealogies, each traced to the separate American ancestor of Welsh or English origin, and in no way related to each other except in name, while scores and possibly hundreds of other Jones families of no kin what- ever to one another are scattered throughout the United States. Each of these has its own immi- grant ancestor, and from each has sprung in later generations a numerous line of descendants until the Jones surname ranks second only to that of Smith in number of representatives.

In New England the surname Jones has been known for at least two and a quarter centuries, and repre- sents probably a dozen families not related, and each traces descent from a distinct head, although in many instances the line of descent from the ancestor to the present generation of his representatives is broken by imperfect family and parish records and the wide separation of the branches of the parent tree during the period of colonization and settle- ment of regions remote from the seat of the ancestor. One of the notable Jones families of New England was that seated in Woburn, Massachusetts, during the first half of the eighteenth century, and whose de- scendants are now scattered throughout the land; but little is known of them or the family history except that they were settled in Wilmington about the time mentioned.

(I) Hugh Jones, the first of the family known in America, was born about 1635, and was located in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1650. He died there in 1688. A deposition on record shows that he came from Wincanton, a small parish in Somersetshire, England. He was apprenticed to Robert Gutch, with whom he came across the water at the age of fifteen years. After the expiration of his appren- ticeship he was employed for some time by Thomas Gardner. About the time of his marriage he received from the town a homestead grant of three acres. This he sold to William Robinson, April 22, 1673. On April 13, of the following year he purchased from Thomas Gardner five acres in the "North Neck." He was a small farmer and is described in the records as a planter. It is evident that he had a hard struggle in life in rearing his large family, but he left a race of hardy descendants who have been noted as farmers and blacksmiths, conspicuous for their vigor and long lives. A large number of his descendants have been very active in the military service. The inventory of his estate was

made in 1688, and an additional inventory was filed in 1690. In 1692 Elizabeth Booth testified that the ghost of Hugh Jones appeared to her, and said Miss Elizabeth Proctor had killed him for a "poght of syder." About 1794 his widow and some of their children removed to the northern part of Woburn. On May 7th of that year, William Butters and Sam- uel Snow, Jr., gave bonds in the sum of one hundred and fifty pounds to indemnify the town of Woburn against the risk of supporting Mary, John, Sarah, Rachel and Hugh Jones. These men had married daughters of Hugh Jones, the elder, and were this interested in behalf of the family. Hugh (1) Jones was married (first), June 26, 1660, to Hannah, daughter of John and Margaret Tompkins, of Salem. She was born February 20, 1641, and died May 10, 1672. He was married (second). December 31, 1672, to Mary, daughter of John and Martha (Tompkins) Foster, a cousin of his first wife. She was baptized March 29, 1650, and died in Woburn, May 29, 1717. There were eight children of the first wife, namely : Hannah (died young). Sarah (died young), Sarah (died young), Elizabeth, Mary, John, Deborah and Samuel. The children of the second wife were: Rebecca, Abigail, Hannah, Rachel, Sarah, Hugh and Lydia.

(II) Samuel, second son of Hugh Jones and youngest child of his first wife Hannah, was born April 30, 1672, in Salem, Massachusetts, and was twenty years of age when he removed with his family to Woburn. He resided there throughout his life, and died in 1753, aged over eighty years. As a prudent and foreseeing man, he had made his will October 18, 1733, and this was proved December 24, 1753. He was a successful farmer. He was married about 1695 to Abigail, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Wilson) Snow. She was born April 4, 1677. Their. children were : Samuel, Ebenezer, Jonathan, Abigail and Joshua. The second son was a captain of the colonial troops, and was killed in the French and Indian war in 1758.

(III) Lieutenant Jonathan, third son and child of Samuel and Abigail (Snow) Jones, was born July 26, 1702, in Woburn, and resided in the northern part of what is now Wilmington in 1730. He died there May 24, 1753. He was a farmer and a man of enter- prise, and became an extensive land holder in Wil- mington, and in Monson, New Hampshire. He served as a lieutenant in the militia. His will was made the day before his death. He was married August 7, 1721, in Woburn, to Elizabeth, daughter of William and Ruth (Richardson) Russell of Salem Village. She was a granddaughter of William Rus- sell, of Salem, whose wife Elizabeth Nourse, was a daughter of Rebecca Nourse, 'a victim of the witch- craft delusion in 1692. Lieutenant Jonathan Jones's children were: Elizabeth (died young), Jonathan, William, Caleb, Martha, Mary (died young), Joshua, Josiah, Samuel (died young), James, David, Eliza- beth, Samuel (died young), Mary, Samuel (died young), and Samuel. (Mention of Josiah and de- scendants appears in this article).

(IV) William, second son and third child of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Russell) Jones, was born August 23, 1724, in Woburn, Massachusetts, and was a very early resident of Hillsboro, New Hampshire. His name appears in the early records, and he is mentioned as a soldier of the Revolution, and prob- ably came to Hillsboro before 1775. He was married March 25, 1745, to Rebecca Jenkins, probably of Woburn and they had four sons and five daughters. (V) James, fourth son of William and Rebecca (Jenkins) Jones, was probably born in Woburn, but no record of his birth appears in either Woburn or

Hillsboro. He died in the last mentioned town, July 18, 1839. For some time after his marriage he re- sided in Billerica, Massachusetts and came thence to Hillsboro, where he was engaged in farming. He was married in Hillsboro about 1778, to Anna Coolidge, who was born August 5, 1757, in Weston, Massachusetts, daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Parker) Coolidge. She survived her husband nearly four years, and died in Hillsboro, March 30, 1841, having borne him twelve children : Jonathan, born September 3, 1778, died March 5, ISI0; Anna, February 18, 1780, March 18, 1829; James, December 9, 1782; Silas, March 6, 1784, October 6, 1832; Cool- edge, February 4, 1786, February 9, 1856; Sarah, March 22, 1788, July 3, 1788; Nathaniel, May 3, 1789, August 19, 1867; Ebenezer, February 7, 1892, Decem- ber 1, 1864; Parker, February 13, 1794, May 28, 1861; Solomon, born February 7, 1796, died August 23, 1842; Warren, born February 3, 1798, March 21, 1868; Silas P., June 7, 1801, November 3, 1844.

(VI) Ebenezer, eighth child and sixth son of James and Anna (Coolidge) Jones, was born in Billerica, Massachusetts, February 7, 1792, and before settling permanently in Hillsborough lived for sev- eral years in Unity, New Hampshire, where he was a farmer. Subsequently he returned to Hillsborough and bought the Nathaniel Johnson farm, where he lived until the time of his death, December 1, 1864. He married, October 6, 1816, Mary Turner Carr, daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth (Smith) Carr of Deering, New Hampshire. She was born in the town of Windham, New Hampshire, February 9, 1793, and died in Hillsborough, January, 1867.

He was a farmer by occupation and lived many years on the old home farm. He married, December 11, 1856, Malvina Shedd, who was born January 27, 1834, daughter of Levi and Jane (Hosley) Shedd. Mr. and Mrs. Jones had two children : James Harvey Jones, born November 25, 1860, and Parker Jones, born October 22, 1864. Parker Jones married Jennie Green of Lowell, Massachusetts, and is a farmer of Hillsborough.

(VIII) James Harvey, elder son and child of Ebenezer (2) and Malvina (Shedd) Jones, was born in the town of Hillsborough, November 25, 1860. As a boy he was given a good education in the public schools of the town, and at home was brought up to work on the farm. After marriage he started out for himself, and soon came to be recognized as one of the best farmers in the town; and Hillsborough for many years has been noted for the substantial character of its farming popula- tion. His lands are extensive, thoroughly cultivated and hence productive, well stocked, and provided

with buildings which are an ornament to the county. His cattle at times as many as a hundred head, are sleek and show good keeping; and in addition to his general farming and dairying interests Mr. Jones deals considerably in live stock. Mr. Jones is counted among the most substantial farmers of Hills- borough, and while he takes a deep interest in the welfare of the town as a citizen and large taxpayer, he has no inclination for political office. He is a thoroughly reliable Republican, and a member of Valley Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, of Hills- borough. He married, December 14, 1887, Edith Luella Steele of Stoneham, Massachusetts. She was born April 20, 1864, daughter of John and Mary Ann (Wiley) Stecle, both of Stoneham. Mr. Steele was born September 29, 1818, and his wife was born January 26, 1823.

He was married, November 22, 1794, to Me- hitable Goodwin, who was born November 22, 1772, in Londonderry, and died February 9, 1863, in Weare, New Hampshire. She was a daughter of David and Mehitable (Jackson) Goodwin, born respectively in 1744 and 1741, both dying in 1822. David Goodwin was a son of David Goodwin. Me- hitable Jackson was born in Rowley, Massachusetts. (VI) David, son of Jonathan (2) and Mehitable (Goodwin) Jones, was born October 9, 1804, in Weare, where he grew up, receiving a common school education. He became a farmer and lumber dealer, and was among the most active citizens of the town of Merrimack in his day. In 1839 he kept a hotel at Merrimack, and in 1845 and 1846 cleared by con- tract a large tract of land near Reed's Ferry, known as the Parker Lot. He also maintained lumber yards at Thornton Ferry, and was a very influential citi- zen of the town. He was a member of the Con- gregational Church at Merrimack, and served as selectman and representative of the town in the state legislature. He was married, March 11, 1830, to Dorothy Tewksbury, who was born January 28, 1808, in New Boston, and died July 24, 1836 in Merri- mack.
