WILLIAM JONES' FAMILY
	"William Jones was born at Ellicott Mills, Maryland, in May 1763 and died in 
the latter part of March, 1862. He located in the neighborhood of Ginger Hill in 
Washington County, a few years before the Whiskey Insurrection, on a farm still owned 
by his son William. He was a blacksmith by trade.. When the U.S. Troops were sent 
out to disperse the insurgents, they halted near his farm, from whence they were 
ordered to return as the Insurrection was over. While in camp, he shod some of the 
Government horses. He was loyal to the government and took no part in the Insurrection.
By his first wife he had eleven children, five sons and six daughters,--viz., John, 
Elijah, Jesse, Samuel, and William--Rebecca, Delilah, Polly, Ruth, Rose and Ann. At 
an advanced age, he married Mrs. Jane Phillips. They had no children. John was the 
founder of Jonestown in Fallowfield Township where he lived most of his life. He was 
generally engaged in farming..."
