Among the early residents of Greene township, Beaver county, Penn- sylvania, was Alexander Allison, who was a son of James Allison, who had children, as follows : William, Alexander, Samuel, John, James, Jane. The occupation of Alexander Allison was that of farmer, and in its pur- suit he spent his entire life. He married and among his children were James, of whom further; William, a carpenter of West Virginia, died as a result of injuries sustained in a fall while working at his trade; John, died in the west, whither he had gone to make his home; Alexander, de- ceased, a soldier in the Union army during the Civil War; Joseph, a cooper of East Liverpool, where he died; Jane, married a Mr. Hawthorne, and died in West Virginia ; Mary.
(II) James Allison, son of Alexander Allison, was born in Beaver county, Pennsylvania, April 13, 1813, died in the same county, December 26, 1857. He attended the local schools, and was his father's farm as- sistant until he attained his majority. He moved to Hanover township and purchased land near Harshaville, which he only cultivated for a short time before he abandoned agricultural pursuits and became operator of McCausland's Mill on Kings Creek. While engaged in this business, milling being a trade he had learned in his youth, he met with an accident that proved fatal, bringing his life to an untimely close at the age of forty- four years. He was a Democrat in politics, and with his wife was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, of which he was at one time a trustee.
He married (first) Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Miller. Samuel Miller had been a soldier in the Continental army in the war for inde- pendence. He married (second) June 26, 1849, Margaret Nickle, born June 12, 1826, died in May, 1887.

township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, married Ella Andrews. Margaret Nickle was the daughter of David and Mary (Murray) Nickle, both natives of Scotland, where they were married. They left the land of their birth in 1823 and came to the United States, settling in Hanover township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania. Farming was the occupation he had fol- lowed in Scotland, and upon his arrival in Hanover township he invested part of his scanty resources in a farm, now the property of the heirs of J. H. Nickle. He lived in a simple and frugal manner, working with busy industry upon his farm, with gratifying success. With the returns from his agricultural operations he invested in more land in that locality, and at his death was one of the most prosperous men of the neighborhood, owning many of the surrounding farms, the result of self-denial and energetic labor. Both were members of the United Presbyterian Church, he belonging to the session of that organization. Mrs. Nickle died about 1859, surviving her husband by many years.

His education was obtained in the public schools and under the capable instruction of the masters at Frankfort and Hookstown academies. Becoming a farmer, he was employed for two years on the farm of his uncle in Hanover township, in 1878 purchasing a farm of about one hundred acres in the same township. This he im- proved with a new dwelling and barn, in 1893 replacing the house he had first erected with one even more substantial and commodious. He does not specialize in any one department of agriculture, but conducts general operations upon his large and fertile tract. Although his political prefer- ences incline toward the Democratic party, most of his political action is taken without regard to party or faction, and he has several times been the choice of his neighbors for local office. With his wife he belongs to the United Presbyterian Church.

Tracing three generations of this branch of the Jones family JONES leads to residence in three states, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the first settlement in the latter state being made at East Mckeesport by Thomas Jefferson Jones, now a prosperous dairy farmer of Brighton township, Beaver county.

In Ohio he first worked a rented farm, prospered, later buying a farm at Long Bottom, which he cultivated until his death. His life was one of toil, but he gave fully of his time to the public service, was a captain of militia and aided in raising troops during the war between the states, his sympathies being with the Union.

The name of Jones is of Welsh origin, being in the posses-
JONES sive case, so to speak, and is derived from the Christian name John. The Welsh distinguished themselves one from another by employing the Welsh preposition "ap" which, literally rendered, means "the son of," and if a Welshman named John had a son named Thomas, the son was called, for distinction, "Thomas ap John," or, Thomas, the son of John. Later an "s" was added, also an "e" inserted, for the sake of euphony, and the "h" dropped-Johns, Johnes, Jones. The great warrior and crusader, Sir Hugh Johnys, or Jones, derived his name in this way.
(I) - Jones was a native of Wales and emigrated to the United States with his wife. He was drowned in the Ohio river before the birth of his child. His wife, who was a Miss McKee, died at Mckees Rocks, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, shortly after the birth of her child, James.
(II) James Jones, son of the preceding, was born at McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, November 28, 1812. Thus early orphaned, he was reared and educated in the place of his birth, and became a coal boat pilot. He fell heir to a farm of about one hundred and twenty-five acres, where Woodlawn is now located, this having come to him from his great-grand- father, James McKee, who emigrated to America in 1834, lived at South Side, Pittsburgh, then went to Evansville, Indiana, where he and his wife died. Mr. Jones, upon the acquisition of this farm, became engaged in its cultivation, with which he was occupied until his death in 1887. He was a Republican in politics, and a member of the Lutheran Church. He mar- ried Hannah Baird, born in Germany, November 28, 1822, died in 1892 on her husband's farm. They had children: Margaret, born May 12, 1841, married D. A. McDonald, died March 20, 1866; Maria, born Jan- uary 21, 1843, died June 4, 1857; John B., born September 17, 1845, died April 25, 1880; James T., born February 19, 1849, died December 18, 1899; Alexander McKee, see forward; Thomas M., born April 15, 1857, died June 27, 1904; Thaddeus F., see forward; Charles Albert, born November 27, 1862, died December 24, 1865; Ulysses Grant, born March 3, 1865, died April 25, 1911.
(III) Thaddeus F. Jones, son of James and Hannah (Baird) Jones, was born in Logstown, now Aliquippa and Woodlawn, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, January 24, 1860. He attended the public schools of his district and his early years were passed on the homestead farm. He com- menced his business career as a pilot on the river, and was thus occupied for a number of years. He then became ferryman, and also rented pleasure boats to the people in general, and amassed a considerable fortune. He and his brothers sold the homestead farm to the Jones & Laughlin Steel Com- pany in 1907, and since that time Mr. Jones has lived retired from business affairs. He had a fine residence erected at Allegheny avenue and Sixth street, in which he is living at the present time. He is a staunch supporter of Republican principles, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His fraternal connections are with the following organizations :

He was reared on the homestead and was educated in the public schools, beginning early in life to prepare for his life work, farming. After the death of his father he managed the paternal estate, having received as his share the house and thirty acres of the surrounding land, cultivating the same until a favorable opportunity to sell the property presented itself, when he disposed of his possessions and moved to Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, where his death occurred. He was a Republican in politics, his allegiance to this party always being offered as a member of the rank and file, never as a public servant, and he worshipped in the Lutheran faith, his wife being a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
