JONES, JonN -- with his wife, whose maiden name was. Bar- bara Davis, were both from Montgomeryshire, Wales, from whence they emigrated in the last year of the 18th, century; bringing with them their sons, John and Richard, who were born in Liverpool, England, On their arrival in this country, they settled in Johnsburg, Warren County, N. Y. Mr. Jones was, by trade, a wooden manufacturer, and sought employment in that business; but at that early day there were. but few efforts made to establish that industry in this country, and he: under; took to clear up and cultivate a farm, with very little success, however, not having but little of the training or skill requisite to make a successful farmer. . A few years dragged along under privations and hardships incident to new settlers, until hearing that a woolen manufactory existed at Poultney, when he made his way hither, and obtained employment of Thomas Todd, who had a small mill a mile cast of East Poultney. He worked with Mr. Todd awhile, until Reuben Wheeler had built a mill half a mile further east, at what was afterwards known as the Guernsey place. Mr Wheeler offered Mr. Jones the position of superin- tendent, which was accepted. He discharged the duties of this position until 1812, when, on account of the war, manufactured goods became high, and greatly stimulated enterprises of this kind. The second year of the war (1813), Mr. Jones, in com- pany with Chauncey Guernsey, bought out Mr. Wheeler at war prices-the factory and some three hundred acres of land, After the close of the war, prices fell; but by an indomitable resolution, they carried themselves through, and paid for the property. Mr. Jones had born unto him after his arrival in this country, in addition to his sons born in England (John and Richard), Thomas, Edward and George, and two daughters,

Mary and Elizabeth; the latter died at the age of five years, In the year 1823, John Jones, Sr., removed to the State of Ohio, and died in Granville, in that State, about two years after; his wife survived him but five weeks. The character of Mr. Jones was one of unusual energy, activity and enterprize; he was in- flexibly honest, and devotedly religious-was long a deacon of the Baptist Church in Poultney.


Jones, John, Jr .- United with the Baptist Church in 1818, and succeeded his father in the office of deacon, and led the singing in that church for many years. He also succeeded his father in the manufacturing business, which he continued some years after his father left Poultney, when he removed to Roch- ester, N. Y., and engaged there in the same business. After a few years, he gave up that business, and established an express line from Buffalo to Lockport; in this business he was engaged until his decease.


Jones, Richard-Married Laura Webster, and moved to the State of Ohio. We have learned but little of the other mem- bers of the family, except George, who has made himself ex- tensively known.


Jones, George-Left Poultney when about 18 years old, and the next two or three years was a clerk in a dry goods house in Troy, N. Y .; afterwards in Rochester, about the same period of time. He went to New York in 1834, and in 1841, was with Henry J. Raymond a few months in the Tribune establishment, and there formed an intimate acquaintance with him. The same year he went to Albany, and engaged there in the book and news business; this he followed for some years. Closing up this business, he renewed his acquaintance with Mr. Raymond, who was then Speaker of the Assembly. During the winter, while both were at Albany, they revived a long talked of pro- jeet of starting a daily paper in New York. This resulted in the establishment of the New York Times, published daily, weekly and semi-weekly-the first number appearing on the 18th of September, 1851. Thus came into existence one of the ablest journals in the country, and one of the best. Mr. Jones has had the superintendence of the financial affairs of the con-

cern from the first. In that he has been successful. The origi- ual capital was $100,000, divided into one hundred shares, of which Mr. Jones now owns a majority. His last purchase was about two years ago, when he paid $96,000 for eight shares, or 812,000 per share. There has been but one sale since Mr. Jones' purchase, and that was one share abont a year ago, at the same price. The moral tone of the New York Times is well known; it has been consistent, independent, fearless, and is now, as it has ever been, a terror to rings, plunderers and all evil doers; and in its character, we recognize that of George Jones and his worthy parents.


JOSLIN -Lindsey Josselyn (as he spelled his name) was born August 12, 1749, in the Eastern part of Massachusetts (town not remembered). At the age of five years, his parents, with their children (Samnel, Jabez, Lindsey, Sarah and Joseph) anoved to Sheffield, Berkshire County, Mass. The Joslins were mostly iron mongers. Samuel and Lindsey were Bloomers, and soon after the close of the War of the Revolution, came to Poult- ney, and creeted a forge about a half mile east of the village of East Poultney, commonly called the " Todd place." Jabcz, who was a tailor, and Joseph, who was a blacksmith, soon followed. Jabez established himself near the present residence of L. E Thompson, 'Joseph remained single for several years; finally he married, and settled in Western New York, where some of his descendants remain in and around Batavia, blacksmiths, machinists, gunsmiths, etc.


Lindsey Joslin married for his first wife Susan Welsh, in the year 1773, by whom he had six children: Jabez, Abi, Sarah, Lindsey, Alvin and Susan. I think the first three were born in Sheffield, Mass., and the last three in Poultney. He was fre- quently called out during the Revolution in the defence of his country, and assisted in the capture of Burguoyne. Att he close of the war, as before stated, he came with his family to Poult- ney, where he continued to reside until his death, which occurred Angust 12, 1826, aged 77 years. His first wife, Susan, died in 1794, leaving an infant daughter named Susan.
