HUGH JONES OF SALEM, MASS., AND HIS DESCEND- 
 ANTS. 
 
 The surname Jones ranks first in number among the ftimily names 
 of Wales, one Welshman in seven bearing the name ; in England 
 it holds second place, being barely exceeded in frequency by Smith ; 
 and among the old family names of New England it is outnumbered 
 only by Smith, Brown, Johnson, Clark, White, Davis, and Williams. 
 
 Being of patronymic derivation, it came into use as a hereditary 
 family surname during the fifteenth century ; and being almost al- 
 ways of Welsh origin, it is found in England most frequently in 
 those counties nearest to Wales. 
 
 Over fifty colonists bearing the name, progenitors of families, set- 
 tled in New England before 1700, most of whom came from P^ngland, 
 although doubtless the majority were originally of Welsh descent. 
 
 1. HuGH^ JoxES, progenitor of. the particular .Tones family herein 
 treated, was born about 1635, came to New England about 1650, and set- 
 tled in Salem, Mass., where he resided the rest of his life, and died about 
 1688. The following deposition secured presumably to establish a claim to 
 some property in England, affords authentic particulars of his origin and 
 emigration : " These presents are to certifie unto whome it may concerne 
 that wee Thomas Cromwell and John Cromwell whoe have beene long in- 
 habitants here in the towne of Salem, in ye countie of Essex, heare in New 
 England, doe testitie that wee have known Hugh Joanes, as one coming 
 from England in ye same sliipp with us into the contry above thirty yeares 
 agoe (and as we undei-stood abord Mr. Stratton's ship) that he came from 
 Wincanton and was servant to Mr. Robert Gutch : and his sister and Eliza- 
 beth Due and Margaret White and James Abbott and John Viniug as wee 
 understood came from the same place : and the same Hugh Joanes that 
 came along with us into ye contry is now liveing. Taken upon the corpo- 
 rall oathes of ye sd Thomas and .John Cromwell in court at Salem the 27 
 of .June 1682. And alsoe ye sd Hugh .Toanes then personally appeared in 
 Court being in health. Attestes Hilliard Veren, Clerk." (Essex Co. 
 Deeds, voL vi, fol 28. ) 
 
 Wincanton is a small parish in Somersetshire, England, of which the 
 existing reeisters do not be£jin until 1636. 
 
 His " service " with Robert Gutch was perhaps as an apprentice ; and 
 after its expiration, it appears that he was for a while in the employ of 
 Thomas Gardner of Salem, as in June, 1660, he made a deposition in re- 
 gard to the estate of Joshua Conant beginning, " I Hugh .Tones doe witness 
 that while I lived with my master Mr. Gardner," etc. ; also, in Nov., 1661, 
 Husjh Jones, aired ih vears, testified in re<jard to a colt " formerly owned 
 by my master Mr. Gardner." (Essex Co. Court Files.) About this time 
 he married, and on Nov. 18, 1661, received from the town a homestead 
 grant of about three acres of land near the brook running down to the 
 mill. (Salem Town Records, Essex Institute Hist. Coll., vol. xl, p. 114.) 
 
This land " Hugh Jones, planter," sold to William Robinson of Salem, on 
 Apr. 22, 1673 (Essex Co. Deeds, vol. iv, fol. 63); and on Apr. 13, 1674, 
 he bought of Thomas Gardner, five acres in the " North Neck," formerly 
 the property of Henry Skerry. (Essex Co. Deeds, vol. iv, fol. 54). No 
 records are found of his possession of any other land. 
 
 Ilugh^ Jones appears to have been a farmer, and a man of small property 
 and humble position in the community ; and the struggle for existence must 
 have been a strenuous one in rearing his large family on his small estate. 
 His descendants for five generations lived mostly in Mid<llesex and Worces- 
 ter Counties, Mass., and Hillsborough County, N. H. They were a vigor- 
 ous, hardy, long-lived race of farmers and blacksmiths, reared large families, 
 were continually pioneers to new settlenlents on the advancing frontiers, and 
 most of them were at some period engaged in the military service. None 
 of them obtained a liberal education or acquired more than loc^il distinction. 
 The record of the decease of Hugh^ Jones has not been found, but it 
 may be surmised that he came to a mysterious end, as, during the Salem 
 witchcraft trials in 1692, Elizabeth Booth deposed that the uneasy ghosts 
 of four murdered persons appeared to her ; and that " the spectre of Hugh 
 Jones assured her that Mrs. Elizabeth Proctor killed him because he had 
 a poght of syder of her which he had not paid her for." (Essex Insti- 
 tute Hist. Coll., vol. ii. p. 198.) 
 
 About 1694, Mary, the widow of Hugh^ Jones, removed with most of 
 the children to the northern part of Woburn.* On May 7, 1694, William 
 "Butters and Samuel Snow, Jr., gave bonds to the amount of £150 to the 
 town of Woburn to secure the town against any expense for Mary Jones, 
 John Jones, Sarah Jones, Rachel Jones, and Plugh Jones, all formerly of 
 Salem, whom they had been entertaining. (Woburn Town Records, vol. 
 iv, p. !^6. ) It seems probable that Butters and Snow had married Rebecca 
 and Abigail Jones, to cause their interest in the rest of the family. 
 
 An inventory of the estate of Hugh^ Jones was returned in Dec, 1688, 
 with an additional inventory in Nov., 1690. (Essex Institute Hist. Coll.y 
 vol. iv, p. 175, and vol. v, p. 44.) 
 
 He married first, June 26, 1660, Hannah, born Feb. 21, 1640-1, died 
 May 10, 1672, daughter of John and Margaret Tompkins of Salem; and 
 married second, Dec. 31, 1G72, Mary, baptized Mar. 29, 1649-50, died in 
 Woburn, May 29, 1717, daughter of John and Martha (Tompkins) Foster 
 of Salem, who was a cousin of his first wife.

 2. JOHN^ JoNKS [ITagh^), born in Salem, Aug. 4, 16G7, lived there un- 
 
 til about 1705, and then* removed to Framingham. On Mar. 1, 
 1713-14, John Tarbell, Sr., of Salem, claimed two commoners 
 rights in the rights voted by the town in 1702 for his own house 
 and the house of John Jones on Humphrey's farm. (Salem Com- 
 moners Records, Essex Institute Hist. Coll., vol. xxxvi, p. 227); 
 and on Dec. 28, 1726, John Jones of Framingham, husbandman, 
 for £5 acknowledged conveyance to John Tarbel of all his rights in 
 the common lands of Salem, " being that right which was allowed for 
 my dwelling house in Salem in the middle precinct of said Town." 
 (Essex Co. Deeds, vol. xlvi, fol. 60.) 
 
 John^ Jones served in Sir William Phipps's unsuccessful expe- 
 dition against Quebec, in 1 690 ; and his name appears on a copy of 
 a list of petitioners, in 1737, for a grant of land for this service. 
 (Register, ante, vol. xxx, p. 192.) No settlement of his estate is 
 to be found. 
 
 He married, Jan. 7, 1696-7, Marah, or Mary, Knowlton of Read- 
 ing, who was admitted to the Framingham church, May 17, 1717. 
 
 Children :

 3. Samuel' Jones {HugJi^) was born in Salem, Apr. 30, 1672, and re- 
 
 moved to Woburn about 1694, where he passed the rest of his life 
 as a farmer, and died in 1753, over 80 years of age. But little infor- 
 mation has been found of him. His will, dated Oct. 18, 1733, pro- 
 bated Dec. 24, 1753, names wife Abigail, daughter Abigail Tay, 
 sons Samuel, Ebenezer, and Jonathan, and son Joshua who received 
 the homestead and was residuary legatee and executor. His mar- 
 riage is not recorded, but his wife, to whom he was married about 
 1695, was Abigail, born Apr, 4, 1677, daughter of Samuel and 
 Sarah (Wilson) Snow of Woburn, as appears by a deed in which 
 the eldest son, Samuel Jones, speaks of land formerly of " his grand- 
 father Samuel Snow." (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. xxxiii, fol. 1.)

 suitable maintenance for life, with remainder and reversion 
 to his "friend and kinsman" William Abbot of Woburn, ap- 
 pointed executor, who had married, in 1761, Elizabeth Tay, 
 niece of the testator; the account of the executor states that 
 after Sept. 20, 1796, the widow Abigail ceased to live with him, 
 but went to live Avith Jonathan Jones (a grand-nephew of her 
 husband, and son of Jonathan,* No. 21). (Middlesex Co. Probate.) 
 
 Hugh'^ Jones (ffugh^), born in Salem, in 1683, went to Woburn with 
 his mother, about 1694, and resided for nearly forty years in that 
 part of the town set off in 1730 as Wilmington; but on Apr. 18, 
 1733, he purchased of Gov. Belcher a farm of 187 acres in 
 Dracut, whither he removed, and died about 1770, as his son Hugh 
 was called " junior " up to 1769. (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. xxxvi, 
 fol. 252.) No record of his death or settlement of his estate has 
 been found. His marriage is not recorded, but his wife was Hannah, 
 born Dec. 24, 1688, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Pierce) 
 Wilson of Woburn. On Dec. 17, 1729, Hugh Jones of Woburn 
 et al, sons-in-law to Samuel Wilson, late of Woburn, conveyed to

 gained his chief distinction in the military service, the traditions
