PUBLISHER'S NOTE 
 
 The history contained in this volume is the re- 
 sult of many years of faithful and painstaking labor 
 on the part of the author. Spending most of 
 the evenings of an active business life, stealing time 
 also from his limited hours for rest in the summer 
 in collecting and recording most accurately what- 
 ever he found to be connected with the history and 
 growth of the Jones family tree since it was planted 
 in the soil of Long Island ; and tracing it in all its 
 branches down to the present time. That it did not 
 reach the perfection and finish intended by the 
 author is owing to his sudden illness and death. 
 Knowing that it was his wish that these records 
 should be made useful to the family and appre- 
 ciating their great value, to them, in the present as 
 well as the future, his friends have assisted in pub- 
 lishing this book, with the desire that it should be 
 a loving tribute to his memory.

 " By an exact and scrupulous diligence and observation 
 out of the monuments, names, words, proverbs, traditions, 
 private records, and evidences, fragments of stories, passages 
 of books that concern not story, and the like we do save 
 and recover somewhat from the deluge of Time." 
 
 How well this was understood and made an integral 
 part of the life-work of one of our collateral relatives is 
 plainly shown by the heritage he has left us in the shape 
 of family, and historical records (many of which were 
 unfortunately destroyed by fire just previous to his death), 
 from which the ground work of the one now before us 
 formed but a small part. 
 
 Some years before his death a friendship sprung up 
 between us that increased with time, during which in- 
 terval he gave me not only what was the nucleus of this 
 work, but many hours of historical instruction from a 
 mind well ripened by the observations and investigations 
 of one past three score years and ten, and for whose 
 scholarly learning so generously given, we are most deeply 
 indebted in the person of the late Mr. Charles B. Moore, a 
 charter member of the New York Genealogical and Bio- 
 graphical Society, and a long and well-known member of 
 the New York Bar. 
 
 This record of the Jones family, as we now have it, 
 is the result of investigations made by Mr. Moore and 
 myself after many years of labor. 
 
 All of the facts herein recorded pertaining to the 
 family ancestor. Major Thomas Jones (excepting as other- 
 wise specified), have been entirely compiled by me. Tliose 
 pertaining to the judicial career of David Jones (II. 2), 
 the first Judge; Thomas Jones (III. 3), the second Judge; 
 Samuel Jones (III. 8), the third Judge ; Samuel Jones 
 
lo PREFACE 
 
 (IV. 3), the Chancellor ; and David R. Floyd- Jones (7), 
 the Lieutenant-Governor, are mostly the work and views 
 entertained by Mr. Moore ; to which are added many facts 
 obtained from other sources. (J. H. J., VI. 76). 
 
 The history of this family of Long Island has never 
 been written as yet to any great extent. Numerous bio- 
 graphical accounts of individual members have from time 
 to time found their way into print, and local historians 
 have pursued it in a measure. Edward Floyd de Lancey, 
 the editor of "Thomas Jones History of New York during 
 the Revolutionary War," in his introduction to the same, 
 has given us a very fair and satisfactory account of the 
 family embracing the first three generations. William 
 Alfred Jones (V. 49), called the family historian, a writer 
 of some repute, has written a sketch of the family in his 
 "Memorial of the Hon. David S. Jones" (IV. 7), his 
 father; and Mrs. Wm. Sidney Smith, a daughter of Major 
 William Jones (IV., 4), has given us a similar account in 
 her "Golden Wedding Mementoes" of herself and hus- 
 band. 
 
 Thompson in his "History of Long Island" has given 
 us the earliest account we have in printed form, but he 
 as well as more recent historians were prone to record 
 fictitious and hearsay family matters, which when put in 
 form of history are hard to disprove. His biographical 
 sketch of the family was, we are told, in the main written 
 by the Hon. David S. Jones (IV. 7). 
 
 Concerning the orthography of the family name we 
 are told by William Alfred Jones that the "primitive 
 orthography, Johnes, retained by the latest translators of 
 Froissart, and to be found in this city, is undoubtedly the 
 correct way of spelling it. It is sometimes written Johns, 
 evidently a contraction of the former, and which again 
 softened appears as one of the standard names of the 
 Welsh." 
 
 Long Island, the exclusive home of this family, con- 
 tains the descendants of several distinct families bearing 
 the name of Jones and Johns whose ancestors are of such 
 an early date, and concerning whom we have such meagre 
 
PREFACE 
 
 1 1 
 
 records, that the existing kinship, if there is any, is 
 indefinable. 
 
 In the small village of Cold Spring Harbor we find 
 three distinct families of Jones with a similarity of 
 Christian names, that to a later day compiler would cause 
 much confusion. Thus in the Jolines family of Southamp- 
 ton, Suffolk Co., L. I., whose history has been written, we 
 find an evidence of this in the statement on page four, 
 that Rear- Admiral Melancton Smith married Mary Johnes, 
 daughter of Thomas Johnes, from which we would infer 
 that she was of that family, when in reality she was the 
 daughter of Thomas Jones (IV. 6) of this family. 
 
 In the matter of Armorial rights pertaining to this 
 family, there seems to be some diversity of opinion. So 
 far as can be learned the earlier generations did not use or 
 claim any coat-of-arms. Judge Thomas Jones (III. 3), 
 grandson of Major Thomas Jones (1. 1) appears to have 
 been the first of the family to use or have in his possession 
 a coat-of-arms. After his death in 1792 in England, his 
 widow became possessed of his seal ring which bore upon 
 its face the following device : 
 
 His widow being a daughter of Lieut. Gov. James de 
 Lancey, and leaving no issue, the ring descended to 
 certain members of that family, who at a very recent date 
 exhibited the same with the suggestion, that the coat-of- 
 arms was that of the Jones family.

 Another coat-of-arms, and one that has been in general 
 use by the family is shown by the following print : 
 
 The original print from which this is taken is now in 
 my possession, and which descended to me from Maj. 
 Walter Jones (III. 13) was formerly in the possession of 
 Samuel Jones (IV. 3), the Chief Justice and Chancellor, 
 and bears his name underneath the inscribed motto.

 ernal ancestor of the Jones family belonged, is as follows :

(I.i) MAJOR THOMAS JONE.5 
 
 Ancestor of the Jones Family of Long Island 
 
 There were other and earlier Joneses on Long Island, some 
 of whom for their day and generation gained considerable repute 
 and were in good standing with the early Dutch and English set- 
 tlers. 
 
 There were some bearing the same family Christian names 
 who were contemporaneous with our ancestral immigrant, and 
 who must have been known to him at least; but no clue can be 
 found from any records, either private or public, to show that he 
 was in any way related to a single individual bearing his name 
 in this country. 
 
 On this point he was singularly reticent; even history, which 
 generally professes or assumes to know something about such 
 matters, is painfully quiet, and has not a word to say as to who 
 his progenitors were. 
 
 He himself sums up his whole life previous to his immigration 
 in these few words: "From distant lands to this wild waste he 
 came," and bequeathed that only information to us in letters of 
 stone, it being a part of the epitaph he caused to be placed upon 
 his headstone. Further in the same epitaph he prays "that nj 
 ill fate his offspring e'er annoy." This, generally speaking, has 
 been granted him, for his descendants (barring those who died 
 in infancy) with but few exceptions have lived long and honor- 
 able lives ; in fact, the longevity of the family is one of its noted 
 characteristics. 
 
 This apparent reluctance on his part to give to posterity his 
 earlier history became the entering wedge for local historians to 
 write fictitious stories concerning him. If his children knew of 
 his antecedents, the knowledge lies buried with them, and it is 
 only from very limited sources that any authentic facts or records 
 concerning him, previous to his immigration, can be found. 
 
 Mr. Charles B. Moore, of whom we have spoken, and who 
 married a great granddaughter of Maj. Thomas Jones (I. i), en- 
 
14 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 deavored to trace his ancestors in England, but his efforts were in 
 a measure fruitless. 
 
 Knowing the course he pursued here, and of those under the 
 Crown who favored him in this country, he sought to find and 
 connect with him, if possible, those bearing his name in Eng- 
 land who might have acted his part. Acting on this assumption 
 he was of the opinion that he was descended from Edward Jones, 
 Bishop of Cloyne in Ireland, who later became Bishop of St. 
 Asaph's in England, a son of Sir Thomas Jones, Chief Justice 
 of the Court of Common Pleas of Westminster. 
 
 The only memoranda we have seen regarding Major Thos, 
 Jones's antecedents are as follows, and were recently found among 
 the papers left by Charles H. Jones (IV. 34 ), and bear the date 
 of 1833, but no signature: 
 
 "The heiress and daughter of an Irish ( ) was said to be 
 
 the mother of Maj. Thos. Jones, and that he was probably born 
 in Ireland, his father having been a William from some part of 
 Wales." 
 
 The other, in a different handwriting, recites: 
 
 "Thomas Jones came from Strabane, in Ireland, to Rhode 
 Island, where he married Ereelove, daughter of Thos. Townsend. 
 He fitted out a privateer and was absent three years, during which 
 time he made several captures. His father-in-law moved to Oyster 
 Bay with his wife (perhaps meaning Mrs. Jones), and on hi?, 
 return he came to Oyster Bay also and from there he went to 
 Fort Neck, on the south side of Long Island." (Dated Aug., 
 
 1833.) 
 
 There were many persons bearing the name of Thos. Jones 
 
 who came to this country from England previous to 1700, but no 
 
 records are extant to show that they were in any way related to 
 
 Maj. Thos. Jones. (See Hotton's "Original Lists of Persons of 
 
 Quality, &c., who came from Gt. Britain.") 
 
 An early Thos. Jones, who settled in Huntington, L. I., left 
 a will, proved at Southampton, 2 Mch, 1699, naming his wife 
 Katharine as executrix, with legacies to his children, Thomas, 
 John and Martha (Liber i, folio 72, N. Y. City). His widow 
 was living at Huntington in 1681 and conveyed land there to her 
 children. (Huntington Reeds, by C. R. Street, vol. i, p. 301.) 
 (For other early Joneses of L. L, see appendix.) 
 
 It is a matter of family tradition that Maj. Thomas Jones was 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 15 
 
 descended from an Irish family that intermarried with one from 
 Wales, supposed to have originated in Alerionetshire or Glamor- 
 ganshire. 
 
 The origin of the family is, beyond a doubt, Welsh ; not only 
 is the name indicative of this, but the traits and characteristics 
 of the Welsh race are very pronounced in all its leading members, 
 the transmission of which can be noted in the female lines in 
 many of its allied families. 
 
 To quote the words of Edward F. de Lancey, whose great 
 aunt, Anne Charlotte de Lancey, daughter of Gov. James de 
 Lancey, married Judge Thomas Jones (IIL 3), "The distinguish- 
 ing characteristics of the family are penetration, judgment, in- 
 dependence, resolution, clearness of intellect, strength of memory, 
 coolness, determination of action, and high honor, united with 
 a temperament sanguine and choleric, great fearlessness, and a dis- 
 position extremely social and hospitable." 
 
 Other characteristics of the family, those not based upon the 
 ideas of any one individual, are its longevity, the excellence of its 
 matrimonial alliances, the great eminence which many of its mem- 
 bers have obtained in legal jurisprudence, and the continuance of 
 the latter through successive generations. On this point the great 
 novelist, James Fenimore Cooper, in a letter to the Home Journal 
 under date of 6 May, 1848, wrote: "The Jones family has fur- 
 nished legislators and jurists to the colony and State for more 
 than a century." 
 
 To more fullv set forth the judicial calling of the family the 
 following resume will suffice: 
 
 Commencing with Maj. Thos. Jones (L i), we find him 
 shortly after his arrival on Long Island (about 1704) holding 
 the official position of High Sheriff, and in 17 10 was Justice of 
 the Peace for Queens Co. (Doc. Hist, of N. Y., Vol. III., p. 215). 
 After his decease his eldest son, David (11.2). became Judge 
 of Queens Co. in 1734, who in 1763 was 2d Justice of the Supreme 
 Court of N. Y., sitting for ten years, when he was succeeded by 
 his son Thomas (TIL 3), who was Recorder of the City of New 
 York and Judge of the Supreme Court, which latter office he 
 held until the close of the Revolutionary War, when for his ad- 
 herence to the Crown he was forced to leav2 the country for 
 England, where he wrote his history of "New York During the 
 Revolutionary War." 
 
i6 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Following him we have his cousin, Samuel Jones (III. 8), a 
 son of William Jones (II. 7), called the "father of the New York 
 Bar," who in 1789 was Recorder of the City of New York and 
 from 1797 to 1800 was Comptroller of the State of New York. 
 Next in order of succession we have his son, Samuel (IV. 3), 
 who in 1825 was Chancellor of the State of New York, and at 
 the age of 75 years was judge of the Supreme Court of the City 
 of New York, then judge of Court of Appeals, and later, after 
 his retirement from the Bench, practised law until his death in 
 1853, when he had attained the age of 85 years. Then Samuel 
 W. Jones (V. 13), son of Maj. William and nephew of Samuel 
 (IV. 3), who was County Judge, and Surrogate of Schenectady 
 Co. Then David S. (IV. 7), a brother of Samuel (IV. 3), and 
 lastly Samuel (V. 8), a son of Samuel (IV. 3), the seventh and 
 last judge of the family, who in 1892 was judge of the Supreme 
 Court of N. Y. City. 
 
 Thus for a period of nearly 200 years, embracing the time from 
 1700 to 1892, the Bar and Bench of the City and State of New 
 York have been represented by some member of the family and 
 almost without intermission. 
 
 The descendants of Maj. Thos. Jones, now at the close of the 
 19th century, are very numerous and widespread, and the families 
 of the earlier generations were large and generally attained great 
 age. 
 
 Maj. Thos. Jones left seven surviving children, who for the 
 third generation gave us thirty-five children. Beyond this we can 
 give no accurate estimate, as the records through the female lines 
 are somewhat incomplete. Of these thirty-five children, fifteen 
 were of the family of William Jones (II. 7), to whom we are 
 indebted for the preservation of the family name, as his elder 
 brother, Thomas (II. 4), never married, and the children of 
 David Jones (II. 2), his next oldest brother, left no male issue. 
 He, in all justice to his father, we might call the head of the fam- 
 ily. He was born in 1708, and died in the 72d year of his age, 
 leaving to posterity a record of fifteen children and ninety-five 
 grandchildren, eighty-five of whom were born previous to his de- 
 cease. His widow (daughter of the 2d Col. John Jackson), sur- 
 vived him twenty years and died at the age of 86, who previous 
 to her death stood a living testimonial of this large number of 
 
 grandchildren. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 17 
 
 Another characteristic of the family is its longevity. Maj. 
 Thos. Jones (I- i) attained the age of 60 years (this is conject- 
 ural) ; his son, David (II. 2), died at age of 76, and his youngest 
 son. William (II. 7), died in his 72d year. 
 
 Of the children of this William (II. 7), David (III. 7), died 
 at the age of 85 ; Samuel (III. 8), at 85 ; William (III. 9), at 84: 
 John (III. 12), at 65 ; Walter (III. 13), at 71 ; Richard (III. 14). 
 at 84; Jackson (III. 15), at 76; Margaret (III. 20), at 71 ; Free- 
 love (III. 16), at 79; Phebe (III. 19), at 83 ; and Sarah (III. 18), 
 at 84. 
 
 John (III. 12), son of William (II. 7), left a family of nine 
 children, of whom William H. (IV. 25), died at the age of 83; 
 John H. (IV. 27), at 74; Sarah (IV. 28), at 84; Walter R. (IV. 
 30), at 62; Phebe (IV. 31), at jy \ Elizabeth (IV. 32), at 71; 
 Joshua T. (IV. 33), at 54; and Charles H. (IV. 34), at 78. 
 
 Following in the line of John H. Jones (IV. 27), son cf 
 John (III. 12), whose children are of the 5th generation, we note 
 Frances, who died at age of 80 years ; Townsend, at 70 ; William 
 E., at 66 : John D., at 81 ; and Samuel A., at 82. 
 
 In the matter of religious belief we find a remarkable fact. 
 From Maj. Thos. Jones down to the present time all, with but 
 very few exceptions, have been members of the Episcopal Church. 
 and where these exceptions have occurred their religious calling 
 has been that of the Friends. 
 
 In view of the fact that Maj. Thos. Jones's wife was the 
 daughter of a noted Quaker (who was forced to leave Long 
 Island by the Dutch settlers), we consider this quite remarkable. 
 This adlierence to the Episcopal Church seems to have been be- 
 queathed to the family as an inheritance (if I may use the ex- 
 pression) from its ancestral immigrant, Maj. Thos. Jones; for 
 we find him very soon after his arrival here strongly supporting 
 the Church of England against all dissenters, and at the same time 
 his wife baptized into the faith by the Rev. Geo. Keith, 
 while she in her turn also watched over the spiritual welfare of 
 her children and had them baptized in that faith also. Curiouslx' 
 enough his earliest identification in an official way on Long Island 
 was his election by the freeholders of the town of Oyster Bay 
 to the office of Church Warden, and later, at the close of his life, 
 we find him naming his "beloved wife, Freelove," and his "loving 
 friend. John Thomas," executors of his will. This John Thomas 
 
i8 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 was the first and noted rector of St. George's Episcopal Church of 
 Hempstead, L. I. 
 
 In politics we find much diversity of opinion. The first three 
 generations generally supported the Court or Royal party, but 
 William Jones (II. 7), son of Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i), who to 
 all intents and purposes supported the Royal cause, yet at heart 
 was strongly in favor of the Congressional party, to which the 
 Jackson family (to which his wife belonged) vigorously adhered. 
 
 Matrimonial alliances and the prestige that in some cases fol- 
 lowed had much to do in shaping the political courses of the earlier 
 members. 
 
 Many during the Revolutionary War and after its close were 
 Whigs, but at the period of the Civil War (1861) those who 
 held positions in public life were mainly Democrats. Through- 
 out that war many supported the Republican party. 
 
 Some were in active service and took up arms in defence of 
 their country. Among the first were Lieut. David Jones (III. 5), 
 who lost his life in the French and English War, and Maj. Thomas 
 Jones (II. 4), a son of the first Major Thomas. Others, though 
 remaining passive throughout the Revolutionary War, received 
 at its close various military commissions. Of these Walter Jones 
 (III. 13), then living at South Oyster Bay, was commissioned 
 First Major of the Oyster Bay Militia in 1786. Of the later 
 ones we note Col. Delancey Floyd-Jones (16), who served with 
 distinction in the war with Mexico and also the Civil War. 
 
 As Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i), favored his posterity with no 
 account of himself previous to his immigration, various traditions 
 have descended to us concerning him. One of these represents 
 him to have been a pirate, in which vocation the same tradition 
 assures us "he amassed incredible wealth." 
 
 This alleged piracy we must refute, as no facts can be had 
 to sustain it. For this and other accusations of a like nature, we 
 have to thank Thompson, the Long Island historian, who no doubt 
 made up his story from an allusion to the same in William Smith's 
 History of N. Y„ or perhaps from Lieut. Gov. Colden's letter to his 
 son written in 1759 (now published in the N. Y. Hist. Soc, Pub- 
 lications for 1869, Vol. 2, p. 206) wherein he says, "While Colonel 
 Fletcher was Governor the inhabitants of New York carried on a 
 trade to Madagascar while that island was frequented by pirates, 
 and that many of the pirates came and dispersed on Long Island 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 19 
 
 and around Delaware Ray. It has often been remarked that none 
 of the pirates made any use of their money to any real advan- 
 tage excepting one Jones, who settled on the south side of Long 
 Island, and whose son made a remarkable figure as Speaker of 
 Assembly while Mr. Clinton was Governor; excepting this one 
 no remains of the others are to be discovered." 
 
 In refutation of this we will say that Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i) 
 was in action at the Battle of the Boyne, 1690, and as compensation 
 for services rendered King James II. granted him a commission 
 to cruise against Spanish property. If this constituted his so- 
 called piratical career it was a short one, for two years later he 
 was located at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, from whence in 1695 
 he removed to Long Island. Russel in his life of the noted pirate. 
 Dampier, and Esquemeling, in his history of the "Bucaniers of 
 America," printed in 1685, gives us many names of the pirates 
 of those times, but none bearing the name of Jones. Concerning 
 his movements during the period elapsed between his arrival in 
 Rhode Island and his removal to Oyster Bay on Long Island, 
 we know nothing. He then in all probability was engaged in the 
 privateering business, but that was far from being a pirate. 
 
 Privateers were private citizens, owners of vessels, whom the 
 government in times of war commissioned to proceed against the 
 enemy, who, if captured, the commission entitled them to be treat- 
 ed as prisoners of war. Todd, in his History of N. Y., states 
 that "these privateers sometimes returned to N. Y. and entered 
 their cargo in the Admiralty Court where it was sold ; others 
 would run to the island of Madagascar, where merchant ships 
 were to be found in waiting sent out by some firm in New York." 
 
 Privateering in those days was a legitimate business, and all 
 who could enter into it did so. Governor Fletcher openly granted 
 private captains licenses and shared their spoils ; for this he was 
 recalled. 
 
 From 1692 to 1698 (while Fletcher was Governor) Maj. Thos. 
 Jones was connected with the enterprising trader, Thomas Town- 
 send, of Rhode Island, who later became his father-in-law, and 
 who had interests on Long Island. Wilson, in his Hist, of N. Y.. 
 Vol. III., p. 31, states "even Quakers tolerated occasional visits 
 from pirates because they spent their money freely." (Thomas 
 Townsend was a Quaker.) 
 
 That Maj. Thos, Jones was charged with being a pirate was 
 
20 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 nothing- strange. Coming as he did to Oyster Bay when it was 
 the chief centre of the privateering business during Gov. 
 Fletcher's administration, and being on friendly terms with him, 
 as he was also with Matthias NicoU and Thos. Willett, members 
 of Fletcher's Council, who later were suspended by Gov. Bello- 
 mont for being involved in piracy, we are not surprised that Maj. 
 Thos. Jones soon gained the ill will of the latter governor. Gov. 
 Bellomont was a strong supporter of William as against James 
 11., and his hostile attitude against Maj. Thos. Jones may have 
 commenced during the struggles between those two monarchs. 
 
 To show the extent of his bitterness against Maj. Thos. Jones, 
 we cite a letter written by Gov. Bellomont in 1698 to the Lords 
 of Trade, in which he says "that Col. Wm. Willet concealed pirate 
 money from him, and that one Jones, formerly a pirate, endeavors 
 in his deposition to clear Wm. Willett, besides which his oath is 
 negative, and he is under a very ill character in the country, and 
 T cannot for my part give credit to his evidence." (Doc. Relating 
 to Col. Hist. N. Y., IV., p. 398.) 
 
 In another letter written by him to the same under date of 
 22 Oct., 1698, he states that Nicoll (whom he removed from the 
 Council) stated that "by discountenancing piracy I should im- 
 poverish the county," and further in his letter Bellomont adds 
 "that Jones, formerly a pirate, endeavors in his deposition to clear 
 Willett." (Doc. Relating to Coll. Hist. N. Y., IV., p. 398.) "This 
 deposition of Jones is bound up in MSS. No. 8, along with those 
 of Whitehead, Walters and Harrisons." This we have not seen. 
 
 In another letter from Bellomont to same, dated 14 Nov., 
 1698, he inclosed a letter from Jones which he states "will shew 
 what a madness the people are in, in this Province, because I 
 look sharp after pirates, etc." The letter is in Jones' own hand- 
 writing and refers to one Smith, a pirate, whose money was seized 
 last summer of £2,300." (Doc. Relating to Coll. Hist. N. Y., 
 IV., p. 432.) 
 
 The inhabitants of Long Island, especially in the vicinity of 
 Oyster Bay, were at a very early period engaged in trading, both 
 legal and otherwise In 1660 Gov. Stuyvesant complained to the 
 Directors of the West India Company that the people near Oyster 
 Bay exchanged their cattle, etc., for beaver skins, the latter of 
 which were exported through New England and on which no duty 
 was paid. (Doc. Rel. Coll. Hist. N. Y., XIV., p. 469.) Gov. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 21 
 
 Bellomont, speaking of this in 1699, complains of the private 
 trade carried on by the merchants of Oyster Bay and adds, "To 
 prevent this I have constituted one John Townsend a custom 
 house officer with a salary of £30 per annum." (Doc. Rel. to Coll. 
 Hist, of N. Y., IV., p. 516.) 
 
 This John Townsend (who was a brother-in-law of Maj. 
 Thos. Jones) soon resigned, saying "the people of his town were 
 mostly his relations, and had threatened his life." 
 
 In a letter from the Boards of Trade to Gov. Cranston, of 
 Rhode Island, dated 9 May, 1696, the Governor was warned that 
 piracy was not to be allowed in His Majesty's colonies, and that 
 complaints had been received charging one Wm. Mayse as a 
 pirate, who had fitted out at Rhode Island, and that Thomas Jones 
 was concerned in the "Old Bark" with Captain Want. The com- 
 plaint further alleges that Jones lives in Rhode Island, and that 
 Capt. Want gave up about three years ago. In reply to this, under 
 date of 8 May, 1698, the Governor informed the Boards of Trade 
 that "His Majestic had been misinformed in relation to the mat- 
 ter, and that Mayse had his clearance from the custom house 
 here, and as for Capt. Want we neither know the man or ever 
 had sight of his ship." (See J. Carter Brown MSS. cited in Col. 
 Records of Rhode Island, III., p. 322, 337.) 
 
 In a letter from Jeremiah Basse, Gov. of New Jersey, dated 
 London, 26 July, 1697, he speaks of one Ive, a pirate, that came 
 to Rhode Island and thence to New York, fitted out again and 
 carried with him one Want in a brigantine. Thev are said to have 
 since strengthened themselves by taking a vessel belonging to 
 merchants of New York, commanded by one Glover, and it is 
 reported they have made some remittances to the owners to make 
 some satisfaction for that depredation. (New Jersev Archives. 
 Vol. II., p. 158.) 
 
 From all this we can readily see that many false charges were 
 made, and all by persons who were directly connected with the 
 Crown, and in all probability personally interested themselves. 
 
 That some of the enterprising 17th century seafaring traders 
 occasionally picked up some Spanish trade we do not doubt, but 
 we must not confound such acts with the lawful captures of the 
 day and place them in the same category with Kidd and others. 
 
 When we consider that during the last quarter of the 17th 
 century there were more seafaring men, shipbuilding and the 
 
22 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 putting up of sea stores in New Amsterdam than any other part 
 of the country we can but claim that such men as Maj. Thos. 
 Jones, pirates or otherwise, had, and did play no little part in the 
 making of the New World. Their enterprises were widespread 
 and legitimate, but they were followed by a lawless set of sea 
 robbers, and early in 1700, when piracy reached its height, our 
 ancestor and his contemporaries were in their graves. 
 
 To further prove that Maj. Thos. Jones was a regularly com- 
 missioned privateer under King James IL, we have the following 
 remarkable record of the trial of a Thomas Jones and others in 
 England, for being pirates. The facts in this trial so tally with 
 the various family traditions, dates, and historical accounts handed 
 down to us concerning Maj. Thos. Jones there can be but little 
 doubt that it is one and the same person. The trial, which can 
 be read at length, is printed in the old English law reports en- 
 titled "State Trials," Vol. XII., paragraph 1269. 
 
 "Trial of Thomas Jones and others as pirates, though acting 
 under King James II. commission, 5 William and Mary, A. D. 
 1693— 
 
 " etc., since the commencement of King William's war 
 
 several privateers were taken and detained in prison acting by 
 King James II. commission." 
 
 On July, 1692, it was resolved by the Lords of the Privy 
 Council that they be tried as pirates having no commission from 
 Kings, and during that year Dr. Oldish was ordered to proceed 
 against them as pirates, but he declined and gave his opinion that 
 they were no pirates, etc., etc. He gave his reasons before the 
 Council that these men, viz., John Golding, Thomas Jones. John 
 Ryan, Darby Collins, Richard Shivers, Patrick Quidley, John 
 Slaughter and Constantine de Hartley showed a commission 
 signed J. R., dated at the Court of St. Germain, with articles of 
 instruction, etc., in the same form as privateers have, giving 
 caution and security to bring prizes into the Court of Admiralty, 
 etc. Dr. Oldish was removed as King's Advocate, and Dr. Lit- 
 tleton, who succeeded him, tried the case and condemned them. 
 All claimed that they were natives of Ireland and in actual ser- 
 vice of King James IL, and had acted under his commission from 
 the time the Prince of Orange invaded England to the surrender 
 of Limerick, etc., etc. After condemnation they petitioned the 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 23 
 
 House of Peers that they might be tried by juries and have coun- 
 sel assigned them. 
 
 Thomas Jones in his testimony stated "we accepted the King's 
 commission and acted under it, and for wliich we were con- 
 denmed as traitors, and we never received any protection from 
 King WilHam, but served all along as subjects to King James II., 
 etc., etc., and that after the surrender of Limerick we (and thou- 
 sands more) were conveyed as enemies into France with our 
 arms, brass guns and ammunition, and that being thus conveyed 
 to France continued to act under King James II. as our King, 
 and he all along, while we were in Ireland and after, commissioned 
 us as his subjects, and that the ship and goods we took by virtue 
 of a commission as privateers, etc., etc., and that therefore we 
 ought to be treated as only enemies and prisoners of war, etc. 
 Some of these men were executed, not all." 
 
 In the life of King James II., Vol II., p. 527, by the Rev. J. 
 S. Clarke, LL.B., it is stated that "these men were prosecuted by 
 order of the Prince of Orange as pirates, and although Mr. Oldish 
 declared it to be against all law and justice to repute those persons 
 as robbers in time of war who acted by commission from crowned 
 head, one Golding was judged as having no commission and was 
 hanged." 
 
 Prior to 1690 no trace of Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i) has been 
 discovered that can be fully relied upon. His family were early 
 in England, but undoubtedly were of Welsh extraction, and had 
 long lived in the north part of Ireland. He was born about 1665 
 in Strabane, Tyrone County, Ireland, and was actively engaged 
 in the civil war of his time. 
 
 "There were persons of his name born in Ireland who might 
 act his part, and one Thomas Jones, with others, including the 
 Clarendon family, who generally took the other side, followed 
 King James II. from England over to France and Ireland. This 
 one probably received a commission to serve in Ireland in his 
 support and was there in 1689. (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 King James arrived in Ireland in 1689 and called a Parlia- 
 ment in the following year. 
 
 "Many of the Protestant gentry of Ireland thought that tht 
 rights of the British Crown should not be forfeited because of the 
 religion or the political errors of the wearer of that crown for 
 the time being, and hence took up arms in defence." (Introduc- 
 
24 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 tion to Thos. Jones' Hist, of N. Y., by Edward F. de Lancey, Vol. 
 I., p. liv.) 
 
 'Xiving at the time, and in a country widely disturbed by the 
 political actions of James II., Maj. Thos. Jones actively supported 
 this idea, and was engaged in the battle of the Boyne, in 1690. 
 and remained there in service for a short time ; this is his earliest 
 identification, and although strongly supporting his royal master, 
 King James II., it is doubtful as to whether he was in action at 
 the battle of Aghrim ; but he may have been included in the capitu- 
 lation of Limerick in 1691." (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 By this defeat the Irish were obliged to sue for peace, and a 
 treaty was signed by which the Romanists were restored to the 
 enjoyment of those liberties in the exercise of their religion which 
 they possessed under Charles II., and the soldiers and others were 
 permitted to leave Ireland for any other country excepting Eng- 
 land and Scotland. (Hume's Eng., Vol. VII.). In consequence 
 of this over ten thousand persons who fought under James II. 
 went to France. This revolution of 1688 ended the Stuart power 
 and transferred the crown of England from James II to William 
 and Mary, (Green's English People.) 
 
 Maj. Thomas Jones sailed from Strabane in Ireland in 1692, 
 and landed at Port Royal in the island of Jamaica, where he was 
 at the time of the great earthquake in June of that year. Letters 
 of the rector of Port Royal and descriptive accounts appear in the 
 Gentlemen's Mag. for 1750, page 213. An armed vessel was 
 there called the Swan frigate, and another the Siam Merchant. 
 Morse in his Universal Geography (printed in 1796) has much 
 to say concerning the disaster and adds that the Swan frigate, 
 which lay in the dock, afforded a retreat to hundreds of people. 
 (See also Edward's West Indies.) 
 
 Tradition tells us one of these vessels was under the commanfl 
 of Maj. Thos. Jones, but there is nothing to verify it. 
 
 It is not known whether he possessed any distinguishing title 
 at the time of his arrival in Port Royal, but he was engaged there 
 in the privateering business under letters of marque from James 
 
 n. 
 
 On his arrival in Rhode Island in 1692, it is said he held a 
 commission as captain. Col. Fletcher was Governor of New 
 York from 1692 to 1698, and perhaps allowed him a commission 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 2$ 
 
 or recognized him as a captain to cruise against Spain while she 
 was at war with England. (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 In Rhode Island he became associated with Capt. Thomas 
 Townsend, an active trader, married his daughter Freelove, and 
 took part in his numerous enterprises. Capt. Thomas Townsend 
 was a son of John Townsend and his wife Elizabeth, who were 
 very early on Long Island (N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Rec, Vol. IV.. 
 p. 128). 
 
 Thompson's Hist, of L. I., Vol. II., p. 343, asserts that John 
 Townsend, with his brothers Henry and Richard, were in Boston 
 in 1637, from whence they removed to Flushing, L. I. He came 
 from Norwich, County of Norfolk, England, before 1645, as in 
 that year he had a patent, with others, from Gov. Kieft for the 
 town of Flushing. (Memorial Townsend Brothers, p. 121.) The 
 Townsends were Quakers and were soon at variance with the 
 Dutch authorities, both in politics and religion. John Townsend 
 was named by Gov. Stuyvesant as among those principal persons 
 who resist the Dutch mode of choosing sheriff, and who refuse 
 to contribute their share to the maintenance of Christian ministers, 
 and on Jan. 23, 1648, he with others were summoned to appear 
 before the Governor and Council at Fort Amsterdam. (Memo, of 
 Townsend Brothers.) 
 
 Capt. Townsend was baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church 
 of New York, having his uncle Henry Townsend (as spelled in 
 the record Hendrick Tousen), Rebecca Breton, and Claertje Ger- 
 rits as his sponsors, on 16 Dec, 1642. (N. Y. Gen. and Biog. 
 Rec. 5, p. 32.) From this we infer that his wife, Elizabeth, was 
 not of the Quaker faith. 
 
 Capt. Thomas Townsend was in Rhode Island after the Dutch 
 and English war, and was engaged in trading at that place, but 
 later returned to Hempstead Harbor and Oyster Bay, L. I. He 
 obtained land at the latter place and built a house there about 
 1673. 
 
 In 1677 he was named as a patentee, thereby securing his title 
 to land in Oyster Bay, and was next in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 
 in 1686, where he was chosen sheriff in 1696. (Col. Rec. Rhode 
 Island, III., p. 312.) 
 
 At a town meeting held at Portsmouth, 4 May, 1698, it was 
 voted "that whereas Thos. Townsend, late sheriff, did by his 
 neglect let Wm. Downs, a pirate, escape from jail, voted that said 
 
26 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Townsend be brot to trial for said act." (Col. Rec. R. I., III., p. 
 333.) Shortly after this he removed to Tiverton, as in a confirma- 
 tion of a deed dated July, 1702, to his daughter Sarah, now the 
 wife of Abraham Underbill, he calls himself "now living in Tiver- 
 ton, county of Bristol, Provmce of Mass." This deed, found among 
 the papers of Maj. Thomas Jones (I. i), was acknowledged before 
 Joseph Sheffield, assistant, on 6 July, 1702, at Portsmouth, R. I., 
 and witnessed by Christopher Almy, John Hoggeshall (or Cogge- 
 shall) and Isaac Lawton. 
 
 His first wife, the mother of his children, according to the 
 MSS. of Geo. W. Cox, of Glen Cove, L. I., was Sarah, daughter 
 of Robert Coles, of Rhode Island, and his wife Mary, daughter 
 of Samson Hawxhurst. 
 
 If this is correct (which his researches seem to prove), then 
 his father John Townsend's wife Elizabeth must have been other 
 than a daughter of this same Robert Coles, as has been asserted 
 by Savage, and also by Austin in his Gene. Dictionary of Rhode 
 Island, and further it is highly improbable that the father and son 
 should have married sisters. 
 
 The three brothers, John, Henry and Richard Townsend, were 
 in Oyster Bay about 1661, and married, according to Savage and 
 Austin, respectively Elizabeth, Ann and Deliverance Coles, daugh- 
 ters of Robert Coles, of Rhode Island. In this the Townsend 
 family records differ, and state that the elder brother, John, mar- 
 ried Elizabeth Montgomery. The Hawxhurst family records, re- 
 cently published in the N. Y. Gen. and Biog, Soc. Reeds., Vol. 
 XXXII., p. 173, name her as a daughter of Robert Coles and his 
 wife Mary, daughter of Samson Hawxhurst. This we doubt, as 
 stated before, and hold that Elizabeth Montgomery is possibly 
 more correct. 
 
 Robert Coles, the ancestor of the Coles family of L. I., came 
 with Winthrop to Ipswich, Mass., about 163 1. He married Mary, 
 daughter of Samson Hawxhurst, of Warwick Co., Eng, (N. Y. 
 Gen. and Biog. Soc. Rec, XXXIL, p. 173). Fuller's Hist, of 
 Warwick, Conn., states he had at least three children ; a son, John, 
 and two daughters, who married Richard and Henry Townsend, 
 of Oyster Bay. His great grandson, Thomas Coles, of Muskeeta 
 Cove. L. I., married Amelia, daughter of Divine Hewlett, of Cold 
 Spring Harbor, L. I., 15 Nov., 1808. 
 
 Capt. Thomas Townsend married as his second wife Mary, 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 27 
 
 widow of Col. Job Almy, and daughter of Christopher and Susan- 
 nah Unthank, of Warwick, R. I., by whom he had no issue. 
 (Austin Gene. Diet, of R. I.) 
 
 The children by his first wife were Temperance, Sylvanus, 
 Freelove, Sarah and John, of whom Freelove, the maternal an- 
 cestor of the Jones family, was born 29 Dec, 1674. He was a 
 man of "untiring energy and for many years took an active and 
 leading part in the early matters of Oyster Bay, and in the set- 
 tlement of the boundary disputes between the towns of Huntington 
 and Oyster Bay, and in the dealings between his townspeople and 
 the Indians the services of our trusty and beloved friend, Thos. 
 Townsend, were indispensable." 
 
 ITis title of captain was of military order, and during his so- 
 journ in Oyster Bay he held the offices of Constable, Recorder 
 and Justice. He appears there in an official way as late as 171 2, 
 when he returned to Rhode Island, where he died. His children, 
 as above named, were all born upon Long Island. In his official 
 position as Justice we find him performing the marriage ceremony, 
 and it has been thought he performed that rite between his daugh- 
 ter and Maj. Thos. Jones. 
 
 James Townsend (a brother of Capt. Thomas), whose grand- 
 daughter married into the Hewlett family of Long Island, and 
 died in 1697, married first Delivered, probably a daughter of Peter 
 Wright, of Oyster Bay, and secondly Jane Ruddick, 16 Oct.. 
 1677. ^6 ^v^s town surveyor and laid out the lands upon Unqua 
 and Lattius Neck on Long Island, which later became the property 
 of his brother-in-law, Maj. Thos. Jones. 
 
 Ruemourn Townsend, son of James, married Mary, daughter 
 of Capt. John Allen, of Great Neck, L. I. She survived him and 
 married Wm. Moyles, by whom she had no issue. By her first 
 husband, Ruemourn, she had Mary, Sarah and Restore. Mary, 
 the eldest, b. 5 Dec, 1729, married Wm. Willis, and had issue six 
 children, one of whom, Esther, b. 21 Sept., 1762, married Walter 
 Jones (III. 13) ; another, named Townsend, married Hannah 
 Bowne, whose daughter, Abigail, married Samuel Jones as his 
 second wife. Sarah Townsend, another daughter of Ruemourn, 
 b. 18 March, 1736, d 9 Sept., 1808, married John Hewlett, of East 
 Woods, L. I., son of John and Hannah, his wife, daughter of Col. 
 John Jackson, of Jerusalem, L. I. Hannah Hewlett, daughter of 
 
28 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 this John Hewlett, b. 4 Feb., 1762, d. 9 Dec, 1850, married John 
 Jones (III. 12), son of William (II. 7). 
 
 This Ruemourn Townsend was a posthumous child, and tra- 
 dition states "that his mother comparing the bitterness of her 
 grief to rue named him Ruemourn." 
 
 John Townsend, son of Capt. Thomas, married in Rhode 
 Island 28 April, 1692, Rebecca Almy, and removed to Oyster Bay, 
 where he was Supervisor and Justice, and for his services in sec- 
 tling the new allotments of land in the "New Purchase of Oyster 
 Bay," the owners presented him with a tract of land. His wife 
 d. 24 Feb., 1703, and he married secondly Rose, daughter of 
 Mary Townsend and John Wright, and widow of Nathaniel Coles, 
 Jr. He d. on 6 Nov., 1709 of the smallpox. He is called in the 
 records "Rhode Island John," and by his deeds and his formal 
 family record in the Town Clerk's office of Oyster Bay (Liber C. 
 folio 177) furnishes very substantial data for his brother-in-law, 
 Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i). 
 
 The early history of Maj. Thomas Jones (I. i) and his allied 
 family, the Townsends, is so interwoven with the early settle- 
 ments of the towns of Oyster Bay and Hempstead that some ac- 
 count of these places seems necessary. 
 
 Long Island was originally peopled by several tribes of In- 
 dians, of whom the Merrick (or Merikoke) tribe claimed all the 
 lands south of the middle of the island from Rockaway on the 
 west to the west line of the town of Oyster Bay on the east, and 
 were probably a part of the Massapequa tribe, whose principal set- 
 tlement was at Fort Neck, and north to the middle of the island. 
 The Matinecock tribe claimed all the lands east of Newtown to 
 Smithtown (possibly to Nesaquake River). They were a large 
 tribe and had settlements at Flushing, Glen Cove, Cold Spring, 
 and Huntington. 
 
 The island was very much coveted by the Dutch and English, 
 each claiming ownership on the grounds of prior discoveries, the 
 Dutch having settled on the west, and the English on the east 
 end of the island. They had traded largely with the Indians, and 
 found the beaver skins very profitable, the largest beaver dams 
 being in the middle of the island, near Southampton. Difficulties 
 soon arose between them, and some of the English settlements 
 that were within the jurisdiction of the Dutch were forced to 
 swear allegiance to the latter by Gov. Stuyvesant, even after the 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 29 
 
 boundaries had been settled by the commissioners, who met in 
 Hartford, Conn., on 15 Sept., 1650. 
 
 In 1640 the EngHsh attempted a settlement at Oyster Bay, but 
 the Dutch Gov. Keift drove them away. In 1644, Gov. Keift 
 granted a patent for Hempstead to John Fordham and other Eng- 
 lishmen, which extended from Hempstead Bay west to Matthew 
 Garetson's Bay, and extending southwardly to the South Sea ; this 
 included the present towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead. 
 In 1647 ^ division was made of this Patent between sixty-seven 
 proprietors. 
 
 "In the Dutch towns generally the lands were purchased by 
 the Governor, and by him granted out to individuals ; purchases 
 from the Indians and actual occupation being necessary to both 
 the Dutch and English for a good title. In the English towns on 
 Dutch territory the lands were bought directly from the Indian 
 chiefs." (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 The war of 1653-4 nearly destroyed the Hempstead settlement, 
 and many of the English went to Oyster Bay and Huntington. 
 
 In 1665 the English were in possession of the country, and 
 the first Provincial Assembly under British rule was held in that 
 year. The Dukes Laws "were passed, boundaries settled and 
 Long Island was divided into Ridings — what is now Suffolk Co. 
 constituted the East Riding, Newtown the West Riding, and the 
 remainder of Queens and what is now Nassau Co. the North 
 Riding ; also persons who had bought lands from the natives were 
 required to obtain patents of confirmation to establish their titles." 
 From 1672 to 1674 the Dutch were again in possession of the 
 colony, and orders were issued to the towns of Long Island to 
 send their commissioners to New^ York with powers to make their 
 submission to the Prince of Orange. Oyster Bay complied, but 
 Huntington refused. 
 
 In 1674 the government was again restored, and on 17 Oct., 
 1683, the first Colonial Legislature (consisting of Gov. Dongan 
 and members chosen by the people) assembled in New York and 
 elected Matthias Xicoll their Speaker. The Ridings were abol- 
 ished, some of the Dukes Laws were repealed, a Court of Sessions 
 established in each county, and a court in each town on Long 
 Island. 
 
 In 1693, by an Act of Assembly, the name of Long Island was 
 
30 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 changed to Nassau, and although never repealed soon became ob- 
 solete. 
 
 Acts were passed for settling and maintaining the ministry, 
 subject to the approval of the Governor (who favored Episco- 
 pacy), and Queens County was taxed £120 for their maintenance. 
 Much dissatisfaction ensued. Lord Cornbury came over as Gov- 
 ernor in 1702. He was a son of Henry Hide, second Earl of Clar- 
 endon, and a brother of Anne, wife of King James H. He was 
 also a cousin of Queen Ann, and was among the first to desert 
 the army of James H. He was a strong supporter of the Church 
 of England, and his zeal caused him to commit acts in Queens 
 Co. that brought out strong opposition from the dissenters, who 
 were mainly Presbyterians, and who were the popular party of 
 the day. 
 
 The town of Oyster Bay was, as before stated, long disturbed 
 by dissensions between its early settlers. Its settlement in some 
 respects was peculiar. It was claimed by the Dutch who had early 
 settled there on what is now called the Oyster Bay Cove Road, 
 extending from the village of Oyster Bay to Syosset and the 
 Hempstead Plains. Some Englishmen had also settled there as 
 early as 1640, probably on Hog Island (now Centre Island), but 
 were driven away by the Dutch. 
 
 By the boundary line of 1650 the English were to have all 
 the land on Long Island east of a line drawn from the west side 
 of Oyster Bay Harbor, "and so in a straight and direct line to 
 the sea," and the Dutch all the land to the west of this line. This 
 boundary line was never ratified or signed by the Governors, and 
 therefore never became a regular boundary of the town, but for 
 a long time was adhered to as the division line between the two 
 parties. (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 In 1654 some English again settled at Oyster Bay, but at a 
 meeting of the Council (Gov. Stuyvesant being absent) orders 
 were given the commissioners to visit the "new settlement at 
 Oyster Bay, and order the withdrawal of all Englishmen who 
 had settled there during 1654." (Doc. Rel. Col. Hist. N. Y., Vol. 
 XIV., p. 311.) 
 
 The large trading business carried on at Oyster Bay was a 
 source of much trouble, and customs duties were wholly evaded. 
 To prevent this the Directors in Holland ordered a block house 
 to be built "at our limits advanced to Oyster Bay," but as the 
 
LON Q 
 
 /SLA N :d 
 
 Sf«Le . 3M,.rt Tc .«, ;„7r~ A T L ;( ITTIC 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 31 
 
 boundaries were then in dispute, the house was never built (Doc 
 Rcl. Col. Hist. N. Y., XIV., p. 430.) 
 
 Gov. Stuyvesant, alluding to this block house, states in a letter 
 to the Directors under date of 21 April, 1660, "We cannot assure 
 yon that it will prevent the invasions of the English, etc.," and 
 "that the English under your jurisdiction here sell their cattle, etc., 
 for beavers, and take the latter overland to their villages, and ex- 
 change them for English goods imported there without inspec- 
 tion." 
 
 The disputes concerning the boundary line of 1650 can be 
 readily understood by reference to Gov. Stuyvesant's letter to the 
 Directors in 1659, wherein he remarks: "We have had but little 
 intercourse with our neighbors of New England, but we cannot 
 persuade them that they deviate from the boundary agreement of 
 1650. The only question is about the location of Oyster Bay ; the 
 oldest inliabitant of New Netherland places it two and a half 
 leagues farther east than the oldest inhabitant of New England. 
 The land comprised in these two and a half leagues is very poor, 
 but the convenient location of the bay is of greater consequence, 
 for if it remains in possession of and is settled by the English 
 it will be an open door for smugglers." 
 
 Speaking of the block house he adds : "If built according to the 
 statements of the Dutch, two and a half leagues further east, the 
 English village of Huntington would come within the limits of 
 New Netherlands, and we would meet with opposition." (Doc. 
 Rel. Col. Hist. N. Y. XIV., p. 440.) 
 
 The settlement of Oyster Bay began soon after the agreement 
 of 1650. The earliest conveyance for land there was from the 
 Matinecock sachem in 1653 to Peter Wright, Samuel Mayo, and 
 Wm. Leveridge. On 16 Sept., 1661, Henry Townsend had land 
 granted him there "on the west side thereof," for the purpose of 
 erecting a mill on the stream later called Mill River. 
 
 The scene now changed. The Westminster Treaty had been 
 signed in 1673, and by it all the New Netherlands was ceded to 
 the English. The Dutch power in America ended, and all those 
 who had been driven away began to return. y\ndros was made 
 Governor, and on 16 Sept., 1677, he issued a patent of confimia- 
 tion for the lands already purchased from the natives in the town 
 of Oyster Bay. 
 
 Many purchases of lands were now made from the Indians, 
 
32 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 and in 1695, when Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i) came upon the scene, 
 the Townsend family and others were firmly located there as free- 
 holders. 
 
 Capt. Thomas Townsend, and his son-in-law, Maj. Thos. 
 Jones, made many and large purchases of land from the Indians, 
 and their transactions in these matters show them to have been 
 on friendly terms with them. These purchases on the part of 
 Maj. Thos. Jones became very numerous, and at the time of his 
 death he was possessed of several thousand acres of land in the 
 town of Oyster Bay, a large part whereof is now {1900) in the 
 possession of his descendants. 
 
 From all this we can form some idea of the state of affairs 
 existing in Oyster Bay when Maj. Thos. Jones settled there in 
 '1695, with his young wife, then only twenty years of age. On 
 their arrival there her father gave them a house in which he had 
 formerly lived, and a lot of land on the easterly side of what was 
 called South Street. This house, now (1900) standing, is in a 
 good state of preservation, but somewhat changed in appearance 
 by the addition of two dormer windows, and is one of the oldest 
 houses in Ovster Bay. 
 
 Late in the year following ( 1696) they removed to Oyster 
 Bay "at the south," as it was called, where Maj. Thos. Jones had 
 erected a house on Fort Neck, on the easterly bank of Massapequa 
 River, which later became known as the "Old Brick House." This 
 river was sometimes called Brick House Creek, and Jones's Creek. 
 The house and lot of land first mentioned, in the "Town spot of 
 Oyster Bay," was built by Thomas Townsend in 1660. From 
 records left by Maj. Thos. Jones we learn that it was conveyed 
 by John Townsend, of Susum (now Jericho) to John Rogers on 
 14 Jan., 1686, and contained six acres of land. Rogers conveyed 
 to Ephraim Carpenter, Jr., 30 March, 1695, who on 9 June, 1696, 
 conveyed the same to Capt. Thos. Townsend (Liber B., folio 408, 
 Oyster Bay Reeds.) (Liber 4, foHo 118, Queens Co.) On 29 
 June, 1696, Capt. Thos. Townsend assigned his conveyance from 
 Carpenter to "Maj. Thos. Jones, of Rhode Island, my son-in-law, 
 and his wife Freelove, my daughter" (Liber B, folio 408, Oyster 
 Bay Reeds.), reserving the right to repurchase the same within 
 five years, for the sum of ^71. The deed from Carpenter embraced 
 several other small pieces of land. 
 
 We infer that Capt. Thos. Townsend lived there during his

 stay at Oyster Bay, or until 24 June, 1712, when Maj. Thos. Jones 
 sold the place to George Townsend for £80. (Liber 6, folio 496, 
 Queens Co.) 
 
 On 17 July, 1713, the surveyors of the town "laid out to Geo. 
 Townsend on ye right he bought of Thomas Jones" this house 
 lot, and by their report contained 7^2 acres of land. (Lib. D, 
 folio 2^, O. Bay.) From this time until about 1859 it remained out 
 of the possession of the Jones family, when they again became 
 possessed of some interest in it through Eleanor Burtis, daughter 
 of Elbert H. Jones (IV. 5), and wife of James M. Burtis, of 
 Oyster Bay. 
 
 The history of this house is interesting. We quote from an 
 article published in the Oyster Bay Pilot of 1896: 
 
 "Thos. Townsend and his wife lived there but a year or two, 
 when Joseph Weeks moved in. Joseph was a son of Francis, 
 owner of the land." (I have seen no such conveyance.) "John 
 Weeks, his son, married Rebecca Coles, and succeeded to the 
 homestead. Jane Summers, his daughter, lived there after her 
 parents, with her husband. Samuel S. Summers. In 1859 the place 
 was sold to Jane Summers' nephew, Townsend W. Burtis, when 
 it later came into possession of his son, James M. Burtis, who 
 with his wife Eleanor Jones lived there some years. 
 
 "A house more peculiarly constructed could not be found now. 
 It is bullet proof, although to look at it one might suppose a pin 
 might be thrust through its outer walls. Its exterior is covered 
 with shingles, then comes three inches of solid oak, behind which 
 are two inches of loam and sea weed. Wood covers this, and in 
 turn is covered with plaster, the whole making a wall seven or 
 eight inches in thickness. The house contains thirteen rooms, and 
 in some may be seen the portholes for rifles used in defending 
 the house against attack from the Indians." 
 
 Maj. Thos. Jones was now a freeholder, and this "Home Lot" 
 in the "Town Spot of Oyster Bay" gave him certain rights in the 
 common or undivided lands of the town, one of which was the 
 general herding of cattle in one large herd under the mutual pro- 
 tection of the freeholders. This necessitated marks of ownership, 
 called cattle marks, and each freeholder had one alloted to him 
 which was registered in the records of the town. In addition to 
 this, each town had its own mark, the town of Huntington being 
 the letter E, while that of Oyster Bay was F. These marks were 
 
34 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 branded upon the cattle, and furnished proof of ownership when 
 a pubHc division of them was made at the close of the season. 
 
 The original record of Maj. Thos. Jones' cattle mark is lost, 
 but his son William (II. 7), to whom it was assigned after his 
 father's death, caused it put on record in his name on 21 April, 
 1734. (Liber G, folio 19, Oyster Bay Conveyances.) This 
 record recites "it was his father's, Thomas Jones', mark." The 
 record is accompanied by the following diagram, and describes it 
 as " a swallow fork on ye right ear, and a half penny under ye 
 left ear." 
 
 Many of the earliest records of the town have been lost, some 
 of which were never recorded, and others were kept by the own- 
 ers and put on record several at a time long after the execution 
 of the papers, and even then, in many instances, only such ones as 
 the grantee or owner thought best. 
 
 The earliest and original book of records of the town (called 
 Vol. A), has long since disappeared and with it much early history. 
 The present Volume A is a copy in part of the old one, and was 
 transcribed by Samuel Underbill and Samuel Willis in 1742, who 
 were ordered to do so by the freeholders of the town, and who 
 at a town meeting held on 21 Jan., 1743, reported that they "had 
 transcribed 2d record into a new book, etc., etc., or so much 
 thereof as we convened to be any ways essential for the estab- 
 lishment of any title of land, etc., and such part of the old record 
 which we did not apprehend to be needful or worthy of memory, 
 which constitutes chiefly of Justice Courts, marriages, and such 
 like matter of small moment we have left blank." (Liber A, folio 
 I, Oyster Bay.) 
 
 In the following year the freeholders of the town were ordered 
 by David Seaman and Penn Townsend (Justices of the Peace) "to 
 assemble together at ye church or town house in order to viev/ 
 the book of records A, which is now transcribed." 
 
 Major Thomas Jones (I. i), as well as some of the early 
 members of the Townsend family, had much to do in laying out 
 the town lands, and as late as 28 Apl., 17 13 (only eight months 
 before his death), he was engaged in laying out land for the

 proprietors of the "New Purchase" of Oyster Bay, or Matinecock 
 lands, for which service rendered the town he and others were 
 granted eighteen acres of land in that purchase, at a town meeting 
 then held. 
 
 At this same meeting there were also granted him individually 
 37 acres of land lying upon the highway leading from Oyster 
 Bay to Cedar Swamp, "which land was laid out to Thomas Jones 
 in consideration of £21, which he paid for the proprietors of the 
 New Purchase in the law suit against Andrew Gibbs." (Liber 
 7, folio 45, Queens Co.) 
 
 Both families were noted for the active parts taken by them 
 in the development of the town, both politically and otherwise, 
 and at a later period, when some rivalry existed between them 
 as to political prestige, the warcry of the Townsend supporters 
 was. "The Joneses have the money, but the Townsends have the 
 brains." 
 
 On March 2, 1699, he was admitted (by deed under seal) as 
 associate freeholder under the original Patent of Oyster Bay, 
 granted by Gov. Andros on 29 Sept., 1677. This deed, executed 
 by Josias Latting and Maj. Thos. Jones' (I. i) father-in-law, 
 Thos. Townsend, recites "that at its date except themselves none 
 of the other patentees were left alive." 
 
 On 30 Dec, 1701, he and many other "Protestant subjects" 
 signed a petition to his Majesty King William III., begging to be 
 relieved of being unjustly accused of infamy, and of being un- 
 faithful subjects, and of being turned out of the government by 
 the late Earl of Bellomont (Doc. Rel. Col. Hist. N.Y., Vol. 4, p.- 
 937), and on 2d of Oct., 1702, he signed, with others, a petition 
 to Lord Cornbury declaring his "sincerity and fcrver of affection 
 to his Lordship." (Ibid., Vol. 4, p. 1008.) 
 
 Of the early settlers of the "Town Spot of Oyster Bay" — 
 those who were contemporaneous with him — we might say more. 
 The map on the preceding page will give some idea as to who 
 they were, and the relative situations of the "Home Lots," also 
 the boundary line established between the Dutch and English in 
 1650. The location of each "Home Lot," as indicated by dotted 
 lines, with the name of its owner, and those succeeding him, arc 
 mainly taken from the "Memorial of the Townsend Brothers." 
 
 Maj. Thos. Jones (L i) apparently never intended to reside 
 
36 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 permanently in Oyster Bay, yet he was always more or less iden- 
 tified with it and its immediate vicinity. 
 
 On 29 June, 1696, his father-in-law gave him a large tract 
 of land on Fort Neck, on the south side of Long Island, where 
 he built the "Old Brick House," and remained there until his 
 death in 1713. The deed embraces two pieces of land, consisting 
 of 300 acres, and shows in a remarkable way the cordial relations 
 existing between father and son-in-law, and other points of note.

 Thomas Townsend [L. S.l. 
 
 Before these purchases (as cited in this deed) were made of 
 the Indians, Capt. Thomas Townsend obtained a license from (jOv. 
 Andros, on 18 Oct., 1677, "to purchase lands of the Indian pro- 
 prietors adjoining their meadows on the south, and also on the 
 north, so much of their land called Matinecock." (Doc. Rel. Col. 
 Hist., Vol. 14, p. 731.) 
 
 This deed to Maj. Thos. Jones, with several later ones, gave 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 37 
 
 him possession of the whole of Fort Neck, embracing some 680 
 acres, which at his death he bequeathed to his son David (II. 2). 
 Of these latter mentioned deeds, the principal one was from the 
 Indians under date of 21 Apl., 1707, and conveyed all their lands 
 at Alassapequa, bounded on the south by the Salt Meadow, on the 
 north by Thomas Powell's and Thomas Whitson's land or pur- 
 chase, and on the west to West Neck, and on east to make a 
 north and south line from the east side of Latting's Neck, con- 
 taining in quantity more or less. Consideration, £5. 
 
 This deed embraced a large extent of country, and ]\Iaj. Thos. 
 Jones' brother-in-law, John Townsend, was a joint purchaser 
 in it with him, but on 15 Nov., 1707, the latter released all his 
 rights in this deed to Maj. Thos. Jones. 
 
 On June 4, 1707 (after this purchase from the Indians), a 
 town meeting was held at Oyster Bay and "there was granted to 
 Thomas Jones and John Townsend, by a free and unanimous vote, 
 all their rights which they have to all the land at the south which 
 the sd Thomas Jones and John Townsend bought or purchased 
 of the Indians, bearing date ye 21 April, 1707, etc., reserving to 
 ourselves all }e land we formerly bought and laid out on Uncoway 
 Neck." (Liber B, No. 2, folio 662, Queens Co.) By referring 
 to map on previous page it will be seen that this deed included 
 Unqua Neck (excepting such as reserved), and also Little Neck. 
 
 Thompson's L. I. (publication of 1839, page 338) speaking 
 of the deed of gift to Maj. Thos. Jones in 1695, remarks "He re- 
 ceived a valuable tract of land called Fort Neck, and where he 
 erected the first substantial dwelling house made of bricks burned 
 upon the place, in that part of Long Island, and which stood for 
 more than one hundred and fifty years, and familiarly known for 
 the last fifty years as the "Old Brick House." He further states 
 (Vol. I, p. 508) "That of the many traditions of this extraordinary 
 personage very little can be relied upon." 
 
 When Maj. Thos. Jones built this house there was not an- 
 other one standing within several miles of it. It was a wild and 
 desolate region, and the Massapequa meadows (whereon the 
 house stood) were bounded on the north by dense woodland, the 
 abiding place, perhaps, of hostile Indians, and on the south by 
 the "Great South Bay." 
 
 Touching this we quote from Denton's Hist, of N. Y. : "Ap- 
 proaching westerly through the island we meet with an ancient 
 
38 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 dwelling on Fort Neck, which a century ago or more was known 
 as the Haunted House, and had many strange and wonderful 
 stories connected with it, and a lonely grave marked by an old 
 tombstone some little distance from the house, on the banks of 
 a small stream; a most solitary spot surrounded by a low earth 
 wall." 
 
 An article in the New York Mirror (copied by Thompson) 
 states: "This venerable edifice is still standing though much di- 
 lapidated, and is an object of awe to all the people in the neigh- 
 borhood. The traveller cannot fail to be struck with its reverend 
 and crumbling ruins as his eye first falls upon it from the turn- 
 pike, and if he has heard the story he will experience a chilly 
 sensation and draw a long breath while he looks at the circular, 
 sashless windows in the gable end. Those windows have been 
 left open ever since the old man's death. His sons and grand- 
 sons used to try all manner of means in their power to close them 
 up. They put in sashes, and they boarded them up, and they 
 bricked them up, but all would not do ; so soon as night came their 
 work would be destroyed, strange sights would be seen and awful 
 voices heard." 
 
 Furman, in his Antiquities of L. I., has this to say of it : "Ap- 
 proaching westwardly through the island, we meet Fort Neck, 
 with an old-fashioned brick house which was many years ago 
 owned and occupied by a Captain Jones, who is reputed to have 
 been a pirate, and in it he died. Tradition (he adds) says that 
 at the time of his death a large black crow (which the people 
 supposed to be a demon) hovered over his bed, and when life was 
 extinct the crow made its exit through the west end of the house. 
 The story is still told by the oldest inhabitant as a fact, and further 
 that the hole through which the crow made his departure cannot 
 be stopped, and as often as it is closed it is opened by some un- 
 known means." 
 
 Furman tells us he saw the house in 1827, and it was then 
 a venerable looking building, "and was pointed out to me as the 
 Haunted House," and further he adds that Captain Jones was 
 buried not far from the house and his grave is to this day desig- 
 nated as the "Pirate's Grave." 
 
 This property of Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i), known as the Fort 
 Neck property, was at the confluence of the Massapequa River 
 with the Great South Bay, and nearly opposite an opening of the

 latter into the ocean, at a place called Jones' Inlet. The neck of 
 land lying- to the west of the Massapcqua River was called West 
 Neck, and adjoined land of the Seaman family, while that one to 
 the east of Fort Neck is called Unqua. On the east bank of the 
 Massapequa River, and but a short distance south of where the 
 highway now crosses it, stood the "Old Brick House," which 
 after withstanding the storms of one hundred and forty years was 
 taken down in 1837 by the Hon. David S. Jones (IV. 7). 
 
 Edward F. de Lancey in his introduction to Thomas Jones' 
 Hist, of N. Y. (Vol. I, p. Iv), describes it as "A large and heavy 
 building of two stories, with a wing on one side ; had a high roof, 
 windows in its gables, and walls of great thickness, which were 
 panelled inside with wood. The beams were moulded and cased 
 in the style of that day in England." (See also Thompson L. 
 I., Vol. i', p. 508.) 
 
 The Old Brick House was an object of much interest, and on 
 Feb. 7, 1867, at the first meeting of the Long Island Hist. Soc. 
 John Fowler, Jr., read a paper on the "Ancient Homestead of the 
 Jones Family of Queens Co." but no record of it appears to have 
 been kept by the society. 
 
 Respecting the so-called Indian forts on Fort Neck, which 
 were occupied by the Indians, and taken from them in 1653 by 
 Capt. John Underbill, under a commission from the English au- 
 thorities of Rhode Island "To go against the Dutch or any ene- 
 mies of the Commonwealth of England," Samuel Jones (III. 8) 
 addressed a letter to John Pintard, secretar}^ of the N. Y. Hist. 
 Soc, enclosing the following memoranda written by him in 1812: 
 
 "When this part of Long Island was first settled by the Euro- 
 peans they found two fortifications in the neighborhood upon a 
 neck of land ever since called Fort Neck ; one of which is nearly 
 square, each side of which is about thirty yards in length. The 
 breastwork or parapet is of earth, and there is a ditch on the 
 outside which appears to have been about six feet wide. The 
 other one was on the southernmost point of the salt meadow ad- 
 joining the bay, and consisted of palisadoes set in the meadow. 
 The tide has worn away the meadow where the fort stood, and 
 the place is now covered with water, but my father, Wm. Jones 
 (II. 7), has told me that in his memory part of the palisadoes were 
 standing." (N. Y. Hist. Soc. Col., Vol. III.) 
 
 See Furman's Antiquities of L. I., p. 95, respecting these forts. 
 
40 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 These necks of land were on their southern extremity cov- 
 ered with salt meadows, and were separated from another body 
 of salt meadows (lying to the south of them) by the Great South 
 Bay. These were considered by the early purchasers as part and 
 parcel of the whole, and in general terms were called by the In- 
 dians their Massapeage meadows. 
 
 As Maj. Thos. Jones and his sons in course of time became 
 possessed of the greater part of all these necks and meadows 
 lying between the town of Hempstead on the west and the town 
 of Huntington on the east, their early history may not be out of 
 place here. 
 
 While the Colony was much disturbed by the alternating su- 
 premacy of the Dutch and English, the inhabitants of the town 
 of Oyster Bay procured a release of them from the Indians on 
 17 March, 1658, and were described as "All our meadows at the 
 south side of this island, commonly called by the name of Mas- 
 sapeage meadows ; on the west side bounded with the river called 
 Warrasketuck, and on the east with the river called Arras- 
 quaugue." 
 
 On 29 Sept., 1677, Gov. Andros issued Letters Patent confirm- 
 ing these purchases (cited Vol. i, p. 238, Mend. Repts.) to Henry 
 Townsend, Thomas Townsend and others, as patentees (the sam.'i 
 who had received the Indian deed). 
 
 In the Indian deed no mention is made of the southerly bound- 
 ary, but in the Patent the south bounds are particularly described 
 as being the "South Sea." 
 
 In 1771 this "South Sea" bound became the source of a long 
 lawsuit between the town of Oyster Bay and the Jackson and 
 Jones families. The town claimed that the South Sea meant what 
 we now call the Great South Bay, and not the Atlantic Ocean as 
 claimed by the Jacksons and the Joneses, the former of whom 
 had a patent from Gov. Cornbury, on 12 Sept., 1708, for "Beach 
 and meadow land, bounded on the south by the sea on the south 
 side of the beach to low water mark, and on the north by the 
 Bay," extending from the town of Hempstead on the west to the 
 town of Huntington on the east. This was granted to John 
 Jackson, Sr., and John Jackson, Jr. The meadows in dispute were 
 those lying on the south side of the Great South Bay, and next 
 to the Atlantic Ocean (see map on preceding page). 
 
 The Jacksons were defended by Samuel Jones (III. 8), and 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 41 
 
 the suit was decided in their favor by the Supreme Court of the 
 Colony, Judge David Jones (II. 2) sitting. 
 
 William Jones (II. 7), a brother-in-law of the Jacksons, held 
 a two-fifths interest in these meadows, and was much interested. 
 See under William Jones (II. 7.) 
 
 The beaches and meadows thus granted were held by the 
 Jacksons in joint tenancy, and on the death of John Jackson, St., 
 his son John Jackson, Jr., had a lawful right to the whole, and at 
 his death bequeathed the whole equally between his sons John, 
 Samuel and Richard Jackson. These meadows were of but little 
 use in those days except to the Jacksons, who kept large herds 
 of cattle and horses there, and the property remained in their 
 hands until 19 Sept., 1762, when John, Samuel and Richard 
 Jackson sold a one-fourth interest in the whole to their brother- 
 in-law, William Jones (11. 7). 
 
 Shortly after this the Hempstead people began to cut grass on 
 the meadows and carry it away, which finally terminated, in 1769, 
 in a lawsuit against Charles Simonson as a trespasser, in the 
 Supreme Court, where judgment was rendered as just stated. 
 
 In order to consult what steps were necessary in this matter, 
 a special town meeting was called, and the freeholders of the town 
 of Oyster Bay assembled at the house of George Weeks, "Where 
 the elderly and most wise men of the town took a room upstairs 
 to consult upon proper measures, and in this cabinet it was agreed 
 that the town had no right to the beach and meadows southward 
 of the bay that divides the Massapeage meadows from the beach." 
 Notwithstanding this they agreed to assist Simonson in his suit, 
 and appointed Zebulon Seaman, Benjamin Townsend, and George 
 Townsend as his counsel, and the case went to the Supreme Court. 
 From this time until about the close of the Revolutionary Wa*- 
 the inhabitants did not attempt to trespass upon the meadows. 
 From its close until 1787 (during which time William Jones (II. 
 7) had died and the country was much disordered by the war) 
 the inhabitants frequently cut the grass from the meadows with- 
 out much interruption, and a movement was set on foot to put the 
 meadows under town regulations, and by that means make a 
 good title to the town. A town meeting was held, and it was 
 voted to raise the sum of i20O to go to law with the Jacksons. 
 After choosing their committee for that purpose, they were 
 informed by James Townsend, of Duck Pond (who had known 
 
42 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 the Jacksons for a long time, and was well informed about their 
 former suit), "That the town had no right in them premises," 
 and advised the town to purchase some rights under the Jacksons. 
 
 The committee acted in accordance with this advice, one of 
 whom, Isaac Smith, went to New York to purchase Thomas 
 Jones' (III. 3) confiscated rights of the commissioners of forfeited 
 estates, and the others went to Cold Spring to see if David Jones 
 (III. 7) would sell his right, which he finally did; and the town 
 thereby became tenants in common with the Jacksons and the 
 Joneses. 
 
 Just where the northerly limit of these necks of land was 
 considered to be by the early proprietors is difficult to say. In 
 1671 tlie owners professed to divide them into shares, and allotted 
 them in severalty, but this appears only to have applied to that 
 portion then covered by the salt meadows and adjoining the main- 
 land. 
 
 The earliest deed from the Indians (17 Mch., 1658) fails to 
 give any northerly boundary, but a later one from them, dated 
 20 Apl., 1690, to John Townsend, describes their extent "north- 
 ward to ye Great Plains." This deed was for the whole of West 
 Neck (exclusive of the salt meadows), of which no part came 
 into possession of the Jones family until after the death of Maj. 
 Thos. Jones (I. i), excepting such rights as the latter may have 
 had under the general assignment to him by Thomas Townsend on 
 II May, 171 1. These indefinite boundaries caused much trouble 
 later on. 
 
 On 18 of 8 month, 1695, the Indians executed a deed to 
 Thomas Powell, Sr., for a large tract of land in the central part 
 of the town of Oyster Bay, in which the bounds were fairly well 
 described. Of these the southerly boundary (as shown on the 
 map, opp. p. 31, and designated as Frost's and Jones' line), ap- 
 proximately gives us the northerly limits of these necks of land. 
 
 This places it a little south of the present village of Farming- 
 dale, and embraces an area of country extending into the interior 
 about four and one-half miles northerly, and two and one-half 
 miles east and west, or 7,000 acres of land. Deducting y^ from 
 this for the West Neck, we have 4,700 acres which was vested in 
 the children of Maj. Thomas Jones (I. i), which later became 
 the property of the Floyd- Jones family, and by actual survey 
 contained 4,792 acres. Of this, 1,138 acres is meadow land and 
 
THE JONES FAMILY QF LONG ISLAND 43 
 
 lies south of the "Old Indian Path" that formerly led across these 
 necks, and now known as the South Side Tumpike Road. 
 
 The deeds of gift to Maj. Thcs. Jones (before alluded to) have 
 been claimed by historians as embracing the whole of Fort Neck 
 and much of the surrounding country. I do not so construe them. 
 They embraced but a small part of this neck, possibly 300 acres, 
 but gave him control of that part between the "Old Indian Path" 
 and the "Great South Bay," and had for its western boundary th^r 
 Massapequa River. Prior small purchases had been made by the 
 freeholders, individual allotments made, and the Indians were 
 gradually forced into the interior. Many of these allotments or 
 rights were given up or forfeited, and were transferred to Capt. 
 Thomas Townsend in consideration of his assuming the rates 
 levied upon them, and by him conveyed to Maj. Thomas Jones 
 (I. i) in consideration of various sums of money. More than 
 one hundred of these deeds and assignments of rights are now 
 in possession of the family. 
 
 On the north of the Powell purchase was an extensive tract of 
 land lying between Bethpage and the high ridge of hills within 
 the limits of Syosset, East Woods, Woodbury and Cold Spring. 
 This was purchased of the Indians by Maj. Thomas Jones, Capt. 
 Thos. Townsend, Edward White, John Williams and Hope Will- 
 iams, on the 2d June, 1697, for i6 current money and one barrel 
 of good cider. (Liber 4, folio 3, Queens Co.) 
 
 This was heavily wooded and valuable, and many controversies 
 arose over its relative boundaries between the Williamses, who 
 owned the Great Plains on the south and west, and the Mayos, 
 who had very early rights on the north, and other inhabitants of 
 the town. 
 
 This piece was described as beginning "at ye edge of ye 
 Plains on ye south side ye old cart path that leadeth from Hemp- 
 stead to Huntington town by ye head of Cold Spring, to ye line 
 of division between ye town of Oyster Bay and ye town of Hunt- 
 ington north bounder, thence from ye sd cart path south by ye 
 line of division to ye land of Thomas Powell, at ye place called 
 Bethpage, from thence westward by ye sd lands of Thos. Powell 
 to ye edge of ye Great Plains, and from thence northward by ye 
 edge of ye sd Great Plains to ye above sd cart way," etc.. etc. 
 
 Subsequently Maj. Thos. Jones purchased other rights or 
 shares in this, but disposed of the greater part of tliem before his 
 
44 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 death, and bequeathed the remainder to his sons David and 
 William. 
 
 On the north of this purchase was a large tract of woodland 
 which he also owned in common with other people of the town, 
 mainly the Mayos and Wrights, the boundaries of which also dis- 
 turbed the people for several years, but was finally settled by ar- 
 bitrators in 170T, whose decision, signed by Peter Cortilieau, sur- 
 veyor, on 16 vSept. of that year, fixed its northerly boundary as 
 "Which line doth begin at a hole of water, ye head of Cold 
 Spring, or which is concluded to be ye head of ye sd spring, and 
 from thence west thirty-five degrees southerly to a point of trees 
 called Cantiague." 
 
 This was a long, narrow strip of land extending from Cold 
 Spring to Jericho and Hicksville, embracing the high ridge of 
 hills running between those places. Cantiague was within tlie 
 limits of Hicksville proper, and on line of division between the 
 towns of Oyster Bay and Hempstead. It was probably an Indian 
 settlement. 
 
 Maj. Thos. Jones' rights or allotments in this were mostly in 
 its eastern end, and extended westerly to "Round Swamp," now 
 a small pond just west of the village of Syosset. His interests 
 were large, as records show, but how he disposed of them is not 
 shown. 
 
 Some papers now extant show that Maj. Timothy Bagley 
 (who married his widow) obtained possession of some and dis- 
 posed of them later. His sons, Thomas and William Jones, ob- 
 tained some under his will. 
 
 On March 23, 1709, a Patent was issued by Queen Anne foi 
 3,000 acres of land in Orange Co., N. Y., to Rip Van Dam, 
 Adolph Phillipse, David Provoost, Jr., Lancaster Syms and 
 Thomas Jones. 
 
 It was situated about six miles west of Cornwall, and was 
 formerly a part of the land included in the Patent granted to 
 Capt. John Evans by Gov. Dongan in 1694. (Ruttenber's Hist. 
 Orange Co., p. 16.) 
 
 Evans' patent was annulled by an Act of Assembly in 1699, 
 and repatented at later dates. 
 
 On 21 Aug., 171 1, Maj. Thos. Jones conveyed one-half of his 
 interest in this to John Thomas, Rector of St. George Parish, 
 Hempstead, L. I. I do not find that he made any disposition of 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 45 
 
 his remaining interest, but on 2d Aug., 1721, his son David, "As 
 heir-at-law of Thomas Jones, late of Fort Neck on L. I., de- 
 ceased," conveyed his right in it, as did also the four surviving 
 patentees, to Vincent Mathews, of Ulster Co., for £1,000. (Liber 
 B, folio 284, Orange Co.) The considerations named in the 
 Patent were that the patentees should "pay every year from hence- 
 forth two shillings and sixpence for every 100 acres, reserving to 
 our heirs, etc., all trees of ye diameter of 24 inches in diameter, 
 as shall be fitt for our Royal Navy, and such other trees as shall 
 be fitt to make plank and knees for our Navy aforesaid, and also 
 all gold and silver mines, etc.

 Why Maj. Thos. Jones went to Rhode Island on his arrival 
 in this country is not known. He may have been known to the 
 Townsends before his advent here, and possibly had some busi- 
 ness relations with them. His religious convictions certainly 
 did not cause him to seek a home there, for he was a warm 
 supporter of the Church of England and would not have chosen 
 a place that was a refuge for all religious sects and where re- 
 ligious toleration worked little good for the Colony. As a pri- 
 vateersman he may have made use of the Rhode Island ports (as 
 many of his time did), but the records of the Colony contain no 
 records of him. 
 
 Shortly after his settling upon L. I. he was actively engaged 
 in Church matters, first at Oyster Bay and then at Hempstead 
 and Jamaica, where religious diflferences early commenced be- 
 tween the Church of England and the dissenters, who were of 
 the popular party, and who looked upon the Church of England, 
 or Court party, with distrust. 
 
 The Colonial Government was desirous that Episcopacy should 
 be established and that ministers of the Gospel be called and set- 
 tled in each town, to which it gave much the same offices and 
 form of government as the parish churches in England. The in- 
 habitants were compelled to contribute to their support by taxa- 
 tion, even though they difTered on points of religion. This to tlie 
 dissenters was obnoxious and was strongly opposed ; to them "the 
 libertv of all was the best guarantee for the liberty of each." This 
 
46 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 hostile feeling reached its culmination during the Revolutionary 
 War, when the Court party, who were all Episcopalians, were 
 roughly handled. 
 
 Had Maj. Thos. Jones lived later he would have suffered much 
 at the hands of his political and religious opponents, but he died 
 long before the struggle for independence began and never knew 
 the extent of the religious controversies in which Queens County 
 became involved. 
 
 Lord Cornbury was Governor in 1702, and was a great pro- 
 moter of the English Church, especially on Long Island, and Maj. 
 Thos. Jones was soon in his favor. 
 
 On Jan. 12, 1703, Maj. Thos. Jones (under a colonial law for 
 organizing parishes and church wardens), was elected at Oyster 
 Bay at a general town meeting as church warden, and Edmund 
 Wright, Isaac Doty, Samuel Dickinson, Richard Willis and Na- 
 thaniel Coles as vestrymen. (State Reeds. D, page 114.) (Queens 
 Co. in Olden Times, Onderdonk.) 
 
 June 14, 1707, he was elected, with Thos. Gildersleeve, by a 
 "major vote of the people of Hempstead, as church wardens, to 
 which office he was annually re-elected until 1709." (Hempstead 
 Records, Vol. i, p. 429, etc.) 
 
 The office of church warden had jurisdiction in civil as well 
 as ecclesiastical matters, the authority for its jurisdiction being 
 vested in an Act of Legislature passed Sept., 1693. Under this 
 act ten vestrymen and two church wardens were to be annually 
 elected by the freeholders of each county, and the tax to be raised 
 for the support of the ministers was to be levied by the vestrymen 
 and justices, and to be paid to the church wardens, who were re- 
 quired to give an account to the vestrymen of all receipts and 
 disbursements, and to pay to their respective ministers their sal- 
 ary. 
 
 Although Maj. Thos. Jones married into a Quaker family he 
 strongly adhered to the Episcopal Church, and, as we have stated, 
 caused his wife to be baptized into that faith. Further than this 
 he intrusted the early education of his children to his "loving 
 friend John Thomas" (the first Rector of St. George's Epis. 
 Church of Hempstead), who was inducted as its rector by order 
 of Lord Cornbury, 26 Dec, 1704. His return or Certificate of 
 Induction was signed by Wm. Vesey, Wm. Urquhart, Thomas 
 Jones and Thos. Gildersleeve, wardens, on 2.y Dec, 1704. It is 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 47 
 
 written in Latin (much abbreviated), and recorded in New York 
 Surrogate's Office, Liber 7, folio 227 of Wills.) 
 
 Very little of the parish work of the Rev. John Thomas has 
 been preserved to us. In his letter to the "Society for the Propa- 
 gation of the Gospil in Foreign Parts," he states that his parish 
 register was used by the justices and civil vestry acting as over- 
 seers of the poor. 
 
 This church was built in 1648, and much can be read concern- 
 ing it in the Rev. John Keith's Journal, who was then a mis- 
 sionary on Long Island. 
 
 (See also Hist, of St. George's Church, by Moore, and Doc. 
 History of New York, Vol. III.) 
 
 On 29 Jan., 1702-3, Governor Cornbury issued a commission 
 to "our loyal subjects" Thos. Willet, John Jackson and others, 
 authorizing them to administer the oath appointed by Act of 
 Parliament instead of the oath of allegiance, to all officers, civil 
 and military, that are or shall be commissioned by us, etc., in our 
 county called Queens, and the commissions to continue in force 
 during our will and pleasure. (Liber A, folio 214, Queens Co.) 
 
 On 12 March, 1702-3, this oath was administered to all of the 
 officers of the Queens Co. Regiment, and a certificate to that ef- 
 fect was recorded by them. (Liber A, folio 215, Queens Co.) 
 Of the Oyster Bay company there were named : John Dickinson, 
 captn. ; Isaac Doty, lieut., and Nathaniel Coles, Jr., ensign, of yi 
 one company, and Thomas Jones, captn. ; John Townsend, lieut., 
 and Samuel Dickinson, ensign, of ye other company. 
 
 On 14 Oct., 1704, Maj. Thos. Jones was appointed by Gov. 
 Cornbury as High Sheriff of Queens Co. (Commissions, Vol. 3, 
 p. 98, N. Y. State Library.) (Thompson's L. I., Vol. 2, p. 503.) 
 (Thomas Jones' Hist. N. Y., Vol. i, p. Iv.) 
 
 Thomas Jones, Commission as High Sheriff of Queens Co. : 
 
 "A commission to Thomas Jones to be High Sheriff of Queens Co. — 
 Anne, by the grace of God; of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland; 
 Queen defender of the Faith, to Thomas Jones, Esq. Greeting, \vc com- 
 mit unto you our county of Queens County to keep from the date of these 
 presents until the fourteenth day of October now next ensuing, 3'eilding 
 unto us, and our successors our dues, and other things to us belonging, 
 and we command all our loving subjects in our said county, that to you in 
 the execution of the office of High Sheriff, they be aiding, helping and 
 assisting. 
 
 In testimony whereof we have caused the great seal of our Province

 of New York to be hereunto affixed. Witness our Right Trusty, and well 
 beloved cousin, Edward, Viscount Cornbury, Captain General and Gover- 
 nor in Chief of the Province of New York, New Jersey, and of all the 
 Territories and Tracts of land depending thereon in America, and Vice 
 Admiral of all the same, &c., this fourteenth day of October, in the third 
 year of our Reigne. 
 
 On the 3d of April, 1706, he was appointed Major of the 
 Queens Co. Regiment of Militia. (Calendar of N. Y. Historical 
 MSS., page 352.) (N. Y. Colonial MSS., Vol. LIL, p. 13.) 
 
 On the 4th Sept., 1710, Governor Hunter appointed him as 
 Ranger General of the island of Nassau (now Long Island). 
 (Vol. 10, page 259 of Deeds, Secry. of State Office.) 
 
 Ranger General was a sworn officer of the Crown, to whom 
 was granted the royal rights or franchises of waifs, estrays, hunt- 
 ing, royal fish, forfeitures, etc. (Thos. Jones' Hist. N. Y., Vol. 
 I, p. Ivii.) 
 
 What rights and duties were conferred upon him under this 
 commission we are unable to say, but at a later period, during the 
 Revolutionary War, the duties of a Ranger "were arduous," and 
 no person was permitted to sell a horse or leave the Province 
 without being first viewed by the Ranger. 
 
 During Maj. Thos. Jones' time in all probability it had some 
 reference to a military watch against foreign attack. (MSS. C. 
 B. Moore.) 
 
 His original commission is now in possession of the family. 
 It is well preserved, and bears Gov. Hunter's seal of arms, and is 
 countersigned by George Clark, secretary. It is as follows : 
 
 Robert Hunter, Esq., Captain General and Commander in Chief of the 
 Provinces of New York, New Jersey, and Territories depending thereon 
 in America, and Vice Admiral of the same, &c. Major Thomas Jones, 
 greeting, be it known to all whom it may concern, that I, reposing special 
 trust and confidence in your ability, prudence and fidelity, have given and 
 granted, and by these presents do give and grant unto you, the said 
 Thomas Jones, the office of Ranger General of the island commonly called 
 Long Island, in the Province of New York, and I do hereby constitute 
 and appoint you, the said Thomas Jones, to be Ranger General, yourself, 
 your sufficient deputy or deputies in each respective county within the said 
 island, to have, hold, and exercise the said office of Ranger General, 
 together with all fees, salleries, profits, benefits, customs, tolls, perquisites 
 or advantages to ye said office, and place belonging, or which ought or 
 may in any ways belong or appertain, according to ye former usage and 
 custome of any of ye Rangers in her Majestie's Plantations in America;

 aign Lady Anne, by ye Grace of God, Queen of Gt. Brittain, France, and 
 Ireland, defender of ye faith, &c. 
 
 By His Excell'ys Command. 
 
 As early as 1705 Maj. Thos. Jones was engaged in the whale 
 fishery on Long Island. On the 13th of Dec. of that year he had 
 from Gov. Cornbury a license "to take drift whales on ye gut ad- 
 joining Mr. Nicoll's land, and the west end of Gravesend Beach." 
 (Calendar of N. Y. Hist. MSS., p. 340.) (Rev. MSS., Vol. L, p. 
 
 183.) 
 
 The Great South Beach, on Long Island, had been used as a 
 
 place to catch whales from, long before his arrival, and the busi- 
 ness being lucrative, was sought after by many persons. 
 
 Denton in his Hist, of N. Y., written in 1670, says: "Upon 
 the south side of Long Island, in the winter, lie store of whales 
 and crampasses, which the inhabitants begin with small boats to 
 make a trade, catching to their no small benefit also innumerable 
 multitude of seals which make excellent oyle." 
 
 While Lovelace was Governor no duty was demanded ; but 
 during Gov. Hunter's administration a duty was imposed on 
 whale fishery. Many early laws were passed concerning this in- 
 dustry and several lawsuits resulted concerning individual rights. 
 
 In 1672 Gov. Lovelace ordered that the hire for one Indian to 
 go whaling was not above one trucking cloth coat for each whale 
 he and his company shall kill, or half the blubber without the 
 whalebone. In the year following he granted the right to several 
 companies to use the beach for whaling, and to cut wood in the 
 adjacent woodland, and ordered the Indians not to disturb thetn 
 any more by demanding a barrel of oil out of every whale taken. 
 He also gave the right to persons engaged in the whale fishery 
 "to sell truck, powder and shot, and a moderate amount of strong 
 liquor to the Indians as shall be useful for their whaling de- 
 signe." (Doc. Rel. Col. Hist. N. Y. XIV., p. 646.) 
 
 Maj. Thos. Jones was engaged in this business for several 
 years, and as late as 4 Sept., T710, he had a license for this pur- 
 pos<=' granted by Gov. Himter, and is recorded in Vol. 10 of 
 Deeds, Secy, of State Office, and is as follows: 
 
 Robert Hunter, Esq., Captain General and Governor in Chief of the 
 Provinces of New York, &c.. &c., to Major Thomas Jones, reposing espe- 
 cial] trust and confidence in your care, and dilligencc, and integrity, I have 
 thought fit, and I do hereby impower you to sicze, secure, and take into 
 
50 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 your custody and possession all Driffts, drifft whales, and whatsoever 
 other fish or wrecks you shall find floating upon the sea or shall be driven 
 or cast on shore or any part of the sea coast between the gut joining to Mr. 
 Nichols land, and ye west end of Gravesend Beach, and Brookhaven, com- 
 monly called Seatawcut, on the north side of Long Island, and saw, cut up, 
 try, and make into oyle, all such drifft whales or other fish as aforesaid 
 within said bounds, yeilding and paying unto me at New York, one half 
 part of the oyl, and whale bone which you shall make or gett thereout 
 aforesaid, and also one half of all other wrecks and driffts, detaining and 
 keeping ye other half thereof to your own proper use and behoofe, giving 
 me an account from time to time what you shall have done herein; and 
 for so doing this shall be your sufficient warrent; given under my hand 
 and seal at Fort Anne in New York, this 4th day of Sept., 1710. 
 
 Several of these returns (which this license required) were 
 
 made by him and can be seen in the N. Y. Coll. MSS., in the N. 
 
 Y. State Library, and are in his own handwriting, one of which, 
 
 filed in Vol. LIV., p. 179, is as follows:

 This license gave him control of the whale fishery on Long 
 Island, and the returns as made by him show that he probably 
 sub-let the right to various persons. It was a lucrative business 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 51 
 
 and afforded employment to the Indians, whose pay was regulated 
 by laws made for that purjjose. Frequently they were paid in 
 "strong liquor," and Maj. Thos. Jones brought much to Long 
 Island, possibly for that purpose. This got him into trouble with 
 the custom house, and on 17 Sept., 1708, he petitioned Lord Corn- 
 bury "for some redress in relation to rum seized by the revenue 
 officers." (N. Y. Coll. MSS. LII., p. 167.) 
 It is as follows : 
 
 The petition of Thomas Jones, of Nassau Island, most humbly 
 sheweth that your petr having some eflfects at Rhode Island, ordered his 
 coorespondent there to send of it in Rum for his winter provision (Rum 
 being very cheap there then) and to consigne the same to Mr. Barthd 
 Furt, here in town, for your Pet'rs acc't, and at the same time ordered 
 sd Barth'd Furt to enter the same, and to pay the duty here at the Cus- 
 tome House, about two months ago a vessel coming from Rhode Island, 
 (the same whereof is yet unknown to your Pet'r) three small barrils con- 
 taining about eighty gallons in all, where at is seems among many other 
 things put on board said vessel, and for what reasons your Pet'r doth not 
 know said casks were put on shore at Doctor Taylor's at White Stone, 
 unknown to your Pet'r, and were there seized last Saturday by Mr. Byer- 
 ley and Mr. Chambers among other goods found there at the same time. 
 Where as all these has been transacted and done without your Pet'r's 
 knowledge, and contrary to his orders so farr that had not Mr. Chambers 
 sent him notice thereof your Pet'r should be a stranger to it to this day, 
 and whereas by ail the circumstances which yo'r Pet'r offers to prove 
 upon accts if required, it plainly appears that no fraud was intended or 
 designed, yor Pet'r humbly prays that he may have an order for to enter 
 the said Rum and receive the same paying the duty. 
 
 And yor Pet'r shall ever pray, &c., &c.

 (See N. Y. Coll- Mss., Vol ui, p. 167.) 
 
 On 21 May, 1709, Maj. Thos. Jones, Col. Henry Smith, and 
 Col. Richard Floyd were ordered by Lieut. Gov. Ingoldesby "to 
 engage the Long Island Indians to join the expedition to Canada." 
 (N. Y. Coll. MSS. LIII., p. 74.) 
 
 In 171 1 he subscribed £2 towards building Trinity Church 
 steeple in N. Y. (Bcrrian's Hist. Trinity Church.) 
 
 As early as 1710 he held the office of Supervisor of the Town 
 of Oyster Bay, and was annually re-elected until his death in 17 14. 
 
52 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 (Liber D, folios 13 and 17, Oyster Bay Conveyances.) In 1710, 
 while holding- office, he was one of the Supervisors who applied 
 to the Assembly for a central hall and jail, and for authority to 
 sell the old hall and two jails not central, before used, which was 
 granted on day following. (Ass. Journal 1-274.) And on 2 
 March, 1712, he ordered the freeholders of the town of Oyster 
 Bay to meet in the church at that place to arrange for the sale 
 of land to pay the expenses of the town. (Oyster Bay Reeds. D, 
 p. 12.) 
 
 On 2d Sept., 1709, he was appointed assistant Justice of the 
 Court of Common Pleas for Queens Co., Thos. Willet, first Judge 
 and John Jackson, second Judge. (Liber A, folio 175, Queens 
 Co.) At a special meeting of that court, held at Jamaica, 8 March, 
 1709, there were present Thos. Willet, Esq., first Judge, John 
 Jackson, Esq., second Judge, and William Hallett and Thomas 
 Jones, assistant Justices. At this meeting the will of John Town- 
 send, dated 3 Aug., 1709, was proved. (Liber A, p. 175, Queens 
 Co.) 
 
 His name frequently appears as Justice in the "Minutes of 
 Court of Common Pleas, Queens Co." After 1692 this court had 
 power to grant marriage licenses, licenses to school masters, and 
 in taking proof of the installation of clergymen, and had control 
 over highways and apportioned the county tax. (See Redfield's 
 Law and Practise of Surrogate Court.) 
 
 Many anecdotes have been handed down concerning Maj. 
 Thos. Jones, but few of them are worthy of preservation. One of 
 these, founded upon facts, is as follows : 
 
 Having occasion to drive across the island with his wife from 
 Fort Neck to Cold Spring, she became very thirsty, and as they 
 approached the latter place she noticed a small stream of water 
 by the roadside, whereupon she insisted upon getting out to allay 
 her thirst. He remonstrated with her for wanting such poor 
 water, and remarked that there was much better drinking water 
 a short distance ahead. On reaching the place mentioned, he 
 sprang out and carried some water to her in his hat. Having 
 allayed her thirst, his own, and that of his horse in the same 
 manner, he resumed his journey, and remarked to his wife, "I 
 shall give this stream to the town for a watering place forever." 
 He kept his promise, and the place has ever since been known as 
 a "Public Watering Place" and is now known as "The Spout." 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 53 
 
 Its location is a short distance south of where the present Long 
 Island Railroad depot at Cold Spring Harbor is located. Tlie 
 highway on which they were journeying was the "Old Cart Path" 
 between Hempstead and Huntington, "by ye head of ye Cold 
 Spring" (so called in the early land conveyances), and was Uun 
 the northerly boundary of a large tract of land in which he liad 
 considerable interest. His right to this spring of water and land 
 was vested in a deed from the Indians under date of 2 June, 1697. 
 to Thos. Townsend (his father-in-law) and others, who on 6 
 June, 1697, admitted Maj. Thos. Jones with them as "an equal 
 partner." (Liber B, folio 363, Oyster Bay Reeds.) Of this we 
 have spoken before. 
 
 Many years after, when this "Old Cart Path" was laid out 
 by the road commissioners, it was ordered by them that "The 
 Spout be a public watering place" (Liber A, folio 20 of High- 
 ways, Oyster Bay), and on the 25 Nov., 1825, a confirmator>- 
 order was granted by them concerning the same. (Liber A, 
 folio 161 of Highways, Oyster Bay.) 
 
 Another anecdote (showing the cordial relations that existed 
 between Maj. Thos. Jones and Lord Cornbury) concerning a visit 
 made to him by the latter, of which Mr. C. B. Moore has told us 
 that he had seen a printed record, has come down to us from Maj. 
 Genl. Henry Floyd- Jones, a great grandson of Maj. Thos. Jones, 
 and is as follows: 
 
 "During the administration of Governor Cornbury, the Sheriff 
 issued a requisition for the arrest of Maj. Thos. Jones, but the 
 latter being forewarned of the approach of the Sheriff's posse, 
 caused a table to be placed before the entrance of his house that 
 completely blocked up the doorway, and had a fine luncheon 
 arranged upon it, while upon the side next the door were j^laccd 
 his pistols. The Sheriff's posse upon arrival encountered the 
 major in the doorway, who, after reading the papers served upon 
 him, sat down and wrote a note to Gov. Cornbury. This he 
 handed to them, remarking that he would not subject himself to 
 arrest, and, pointing to his pistols, added that if they insisted 
 upon arresting him he would then and there fight it out ; but if 
 Gov. Cornbury, after reading his note, would send him an answer 
 requesting him to give himself up he would go without further 
 resistance. After a short parley among themselves they con- 
 cluded not to push matters, and at his invitation sat down and par- 
 
c

 took of his feast. This over they returned with only the note, 
 and shortly after the Governor with his retinue visited the major, 
 and were royally entertained by him in the 'Old Brick House.' " 
 On 7 Dec, 1713, he made his will, and, as tradition states, wrote 
 it himself. It is not overburdened with the usual phraseology 
 of the early wills of his time, but is somewhat brief and made 
 with considerable care. It was proved in Queens Co., on 2d 
 Feb., 1714, and is recorded in N. Y. Surrogate's Office, Liber 9, 
 folio 259; new number Liber 8, folio 301. 
 
 By the provisions of his will his wife Freelove had the entire 
 use and control of his estate during her widowhood, and an equal 
 one-fourth part of i 1,109, the remaining three-fourths part he 
 gave equally between his three daughters. The principal part o 
 his estate, including the Old Brick House and land adjoining, he 
 devised to his eldest son David in-tail male. 
 
 To his sons Thomas and William he gave his lands at the east 
 end of the Great Plains, and northward of Mannetto Hill, and all 
 his lands near Cold Spring, and land adjoining the Plains ; also 
 forty acres of salt meadow on West Neck, lying on the east side 
 of the meadow given his son David. 
 
 He appointed as his executors his wife Freelove, and his 
 friend the Rev. John Thomas, to whom letters of adms. were 
 granted on 16 March, 171 3. 
 
 He died in the Old Brick House on 13 Dec, 1713, and was 
 buried a short distance south of the house on the east bank of 
 the Massapequa River. Thirteen years after his decease his 
 widow (who had married again) was buried at his side, and later 
 his son David and his wife Anne (nee Willet) found a resting 
 place there. 
 
 The ancient burialplace, not larger than thirty feet square, was 
 long kept sacred by his descendants, but serious inroads were 
 made upon it by the tides, which in 1893 necessitated its removal. 
 His headstone and that of his wife are of hard red sandstone, and 
 are now (1900) in a good state of preservation. 
 
 Thompson's Hist, of L- I., speaking of his grave, states that 
 he was interred agreeably to his own desire within one of the 
 Indian forts on Fort Neck, near the bottom of the upland upon his 
 farm, and Furman's Antiquities, in 1827, states his resting place 
 was then known as the "Pirate's Grave."

 For many years after his death it was the common beHef that 
 some of Maj. Jones' wealth was buried with him, and so deeply 
 rooted had this become that his grave was opened by vandals in 
 the quest of relics and the ancient bones left strewn upon the 
 ground. Shortly after their reinterment it was discovered that 
 one of his bones had been kept by some one in the hopes of get- 
 ting a reward. This finally came into possession of one of his 
 descendants, and was kept by him until 1893, when all that re- 
 mained of those who were interred in the little burial spot was 
 removed and placed in the burying ground adjoining Grace 
 Church at South Oyster Bay — this bone with the rest. This bone, 
 which was the upper half of the skull, was placed for a moment 
 in the hands of the writer, nearly one hundred and eighty years 
 after it had been first laid at rest. 
 
 The personal effects of Maj. Thos. Jones that have been pre- 
 served to us are few in number and widely scattered. A chair 
 of his is now (1900) in the possession of Mrs. Samuel B. Ro- 
 maine, and a very curious secretary is now owned by Mrs. John 
 D. Jones. This also has a story. It was sent from Spain to some 
 person of rank in Russia, and was captured by Maj. Thos. Jones 
 during one of his privateering cruises. His silver, which hi.« 
 daughters inherited, is lost to the immediate family. .A.n old silver 
 tankard of his, lately in the possession of the Smith family of 
 
56 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Centre Island, has, we are told, an ancient copper coin marked 
 with the letters T. J. inlaid upon its cover, and is one that in the 
 division of his estate fell to the lot of his daughter Freelove, who 
 married Jacob Smith, and whose descendants have guarded it with 
 religious care. Concerning its later ownership, many questions 
 have been brought to light, and its whereabouts were but little 
 known until the year 1893, when the will of Richard L. Parrish, 
 of Oyster Bay, disclosed the fact that he (the then doubtful owner 
 as claimed) had bequeathed it to an alien blood. (See under 
 Jacob Smith and Freelove Jones.) 
 
 The date of Maj. Thos. Jones' birth is only conjectural; he 
 died on 13 Dec, 1713, leaving six surviving children all under age. 
 After his death his widow married (before 1716) Major Timothy 
 Bagley, a retired British officer, by whom she had no issue. Lit- 
 tle is known respecting her after her second marriage, but there 
 are various traditions concerning her care for the property and 
 her children. 
 
 Although of a Quaker family she, shortly after her marriage 
 to Maj. Thos. Jones, was baptized into the Episcopal faith by the 
 Rev. John Keith, at Oyster Bay, on 19 Nov., 1702 (Keith's 
 Journal, p. 45.), and (Digest of the Records of the Soc. for the 
 Progagation of the Gospel, p. 57.) She remained steadfast in her 
 new faith and carefully watched over the spiritual welfare of her 
 children, in which matter she was much aided by the Rev. John 
 Thomas, Rector of St. George's Church, Hempstead, L. I. 
 
 WILL OF MAJOR THOMAS JONES (I. i). 
 
 In the name of God Amen — In the seventh day of December, in the 
 
 year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and thirteen, I, Thomas 
 
 Jones, of Fort Neck, in the township of Oyster Bay, in Queens County, 
 
 on the island of Nassau, in the Province of New York, Gentleman, being 
 
 very weak in body but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be to God 
 
 therefore, calling to mind the mortahty of my body, and knowing that 
 
 it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last 
 
 will and testament. That is to say, principally and first of all I give 
 
 and recommend my soul into the hands of God who gave it, and for my 
 
 body, I do recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like and 
 
 decent manner at the discretion of my executors, nothing doubting but 
 
 at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty 
 
 power of God. As to my worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased God to 
 
 bless me in this life, I do give, divide and dispose of the same in the 
 
 following manner and form — 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 57 
 
 Imprimus — I give and bequeath unto my well beloved son David, and 
 his heirs legally begotten of his body, all my houses, mills, lands, and 
 meadows except what will be hereafter occupied, situate, lying and being 
 at the Massapcqua at the South side of Oyster Bay, bounded on the West 
 by West Neck purchase, and on the North by Powell's purchase, and East 
 so far as my lands extend, as may at large appear by my deeds and 
 conveyances ; the said houses, mills, lands, and meadows to have and to 
 hold to him the said David, and his heirs naturally begotten of his body 
 for ever, and in default of issue to my said son David, to my next sur- 
 viving male child, to him and his heirs naturally begotten of his body 
 for ever. Likewise I give to my well beloved son David, 
 and two horses, when capable of entering upon the estate aforesaid. 
 
 Then I give to my two sons Thomas and William Jones, all my lands 
 lying and being at the East end of the Great Plains, and northward of 
 Maunetto Hill, so called, containing in quantity more or less. Then 
 I give unto my said two sons all my lands lying and being at or nigh 
 to the head of Cold Spring, and all my land adjoining to the Plains, 
 both wood land, and Plain land, all to be equally divided between my 
 two said sons Thomas and William, freely to be enjoyed by them and 
 their assigns forever. Also I will and ordain that my right of land, and 
 meadow at Oak Neck, my twenty-five acres of land to be taken up in the 
 undivided land of the "New Purchase," to be sold and disposed of at 
 the discretion of my executors, and laid out in educating my two said sons 
 Thomas and William. 
 
 Then it is my will and desire that my sons Thomas and William, have 
 each of them two oxen and two horses out of my moveable estate when 
 at the age of being capable to improve the lands willed as aforesaid. 
 
 Then I give unto my two sons aforesaid, Thomas and William, forty 
 acres of salt meadow lying on West Neck at the South of Oyster Bay, 
 lying on the East side of the meadow bequeathed to my son David, twenty 
 acres to each of them, to have and to hold all and singular the said 
 meadows unto them my two said sons; the said forty acres to be equally 
 divided between them, freely to be enjoyed by them, their heirs and 
 assigns forever. 
 
 That it is my will and desire, that in case of death of either of my 
 said sons Thomas and William or default of issue, then the lands afore- 
 said bequeathed to them as above shall be the surviving of my said two 
 sons, to his own proper use and behoof, freely to be enjoyed by him, his 
 heirs and assigns forever. 
 
 Then I give unto my two sons Thomas and William Jones, all my 
 Neck at the South of Oyster Bay, to be equally divided between them, 
 to have and to hold to them, their heirs and assigns forever. 
 
 Then I give and bequeath unto my three sons, David, Thomas, and 
 
 William Jones, swords and pistols to be equally divided between them. 
 
 Then I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife Frcclovc. and 
 
 to my beloved daughters Freelove, Sarah, Margaret and Elizabeth Jones, 
 
 the sum of eleven hundred and nine pounds, to be equally divided between 
 
58 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 them, and in case my said daughters should die before marriage, or full 
 age, or having lawful issue, that her or their part to be equally divided 
 among the survivors, also it is my will and desire that whatever of my 
 moveable estate is not valued and comprehended within the eleven hun- 
 and nine pounds, be and remain in the hands of my beloved wife Free- 
 love, to rear and bringing up my said daughters, and that each of them 
 to receive their particular parts or portion of the said sum at their 
 marriage or full age in law. 
 
 Then I give unto my beloved wife Freelove, the whole command, 
 power and management of my whole estate, real and personal, during her 
 widow-hood, or my aforesaid sons being under age. 
 
 Then I constitute and ordain my beloved wife Freelove, and loving 
 friend John Thomas, executors of this my last will and testament. Lastly 
 I do appoint my well beloved friends John Treadwell, Jim, and Walter 
 overseers of this my last will and testament, to be aiding my beloved 
 wife, and to see this my last will duly and truly performed. 
 
 I do hereby utterly disannul and revoke all and every other testaments, 
 wills, legacies, executors by me, and in any ways before this time named. 
 
 Willed and bequeathed satisfying and confirming this and no other 
 to be my last will and testament.

 Proof of name and parentage of Thomas Townsend's wife. 
 
 State of New York,

 This is to certify that I, George W. Cock, of Glen Cove, N. Y., skilled 
 genealogist, locril historian, through the grouping together of various 
 fragments of information, having discovered that which James and 
 Aurelia Townsend, in the "Memorial of the Townsend Brother;?," assert 
 in 1866 to have been hitherto unknown; i. e., the name and parentage of 
 the first wife of Capt. Thomas Townsend, and the mother of Freelove, 
 wife of Maj. Thos, Jones, Mary the wife of William McCoun, and Sarah 
 the wife of Abraham Underbill, consider I am justified in desigiiating 
 as the wife of said Thomas Townsend, Sarah, youngest daughter of Robert 
 and Mary (Hauxhurst) Coles, of Warwick, R. I. 
 
 Robert Coles died about 1654, and his estate was settled by the Town 
 Council of Warwick; in that settlement mention is made of a daughter 
 Sarah, and both Austin and Savage state that the widow, Mary Coles, 
 married Matthias Harvy (as he wrote it), and with her children removed 
 to Oyster Bay, L. I., and it would appear from the town records that 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 59 
 
 Matthias Harvy with his stepsons settled on lots to the eastward of the 
 Church Yard, probably at Ship Point, and before 1684 he removed to 
 Flushing, N. Y. 
 
 Dr. Peter Townsend, of Oyster Bay, in company with a nephew 
 Isaiah, about 1844 made a pilgrimage to Rhode Island in quest of his- 
 torical matter concerning Townsend and allied families. They found in 
 the house of Peleg Almy, Portsmouth, an old memorandum book of 
 Thomas Townsend's, with a record of sundry transactions extending 
 over a period from 1676 to 1713. The items pertinent to the matter in 
 hand are as follows, viz. : 
 
 1685 John Robinson. Credit. 
 
 Sept. 16 By making my wife's coffin 05.00 
 
 By making my child's coffin 02.06 
 
 John Rogers. Credit. 
 
 By digging a grave 01.05 
 
 By digging my child's 01.03 
 
 By going to Flushing for father Harvy 04.00 
 
 (doubtless on account of the funeral.) 
 
 Having seen the writings of Robert Coles, the second (now in my 
 custody) a similar mention of father "Harvy," and believing that each of 
 these expressions refer to Matthias Harvey, and knowing his relationship 
 to Robert Coles was that of step-father, I feel justified in the deduction 
 that for Thomas Townsend to have been warrented in addressing Matthias 
 Harvy as "father," he must have been the husband of Sarah Coles, as 
 the most diligent search showeth neither any own daughter of Matthias 
 Harvy, nor any step-daughter other than Sarah for him to "wife." As 
 supporting this contention I have in possession an original instrument in 
 the hand writing of Matthias Harvy, of date of 1666, being a deed or 
 conveyance from Marke Meggs to Nathan Burcham of Matinecock, wit- 
 nessed by Matthias Harvy and Sarah Townsend. There being no record 
 of wife or daughter of any Townsend at that period bearing the name 
 of Sarah, and this witnessing having probably been done at the residence 
 of Matthias Harvy, and Sarah's mother, I am prone to believe that Sarnh. 
 daughter of Robert and Mary Hauxhurst) Coles was, in i665, the wife 
 of Thomas Townsend, the son of John and Elizabeth. The ancient ac- 
 count book also shows the existence of living children, John, Mary, Free- 
 love and Sarah.

 MAJOR TIMOTHY BAGLEY, who m. Freelove, widow of 
 Maj. Thomas Jones (I. i), was a retired British officer. The 
 date of their marriage is not known, but it probably occurred 
 about 1 716, as on the 5th of June of that year, he and his wife 
 Freelove executed a deed to Samuel Prier, of Oyster Bay, for 
 land in the "New Purchase" of that town that was formerly Daniel 
 Whitehead's. (Liber 7, p. 372, Queens Co.) "Presumably he 
 was from Ireland, as the name there was one of military fame." 
 (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 Some papers now extant show he was in some way connected 
 with a Thomas Bagley, of Skibbereen, County of Cork, Ireland. 
 
 Soon after his marriage he became prominent in the town of 
 Oyster Bay, both in a civil and military' way, and had many 
 rights of land granted him. Some of these were possibly granted 
 him for some military service rendered. (Official notice can be 
 had of him in the N. Y. Hist. MSS. for 1664-1776, Report of 
 N. Y. State Historian, Vol. i, p. 449, and in the Colonial Laws 
 of N. v., by the Commissioners of Statutory Revision, Vol. 1, p. 
 756.) On 25 March, 1715, he was Capt. of a Troop of Horse 
 of Queens Co. (See N. Y. Hist. MSS. LX., p. 54-58.) 
 
 John Johnson, who was Mayor of N. Y., in a certificate dated 
 May 17, 1 7 16, states that Maj. T. Bagley and other British sub- 
 jects were sent over by Queen Anne in a regiment of foot for 
 the expedition against the French in Canada, and that he was 
 then alive. (N. Y. Hist. MSS. LX., p. 104-108.) Broadhead. 
 in a footnote to Vol. 5, p. 984 of Doc. Rel. to Coll. Hist, of N Y„ 
 states that he had a license dated 12 Feby, 1720, to manufacture 
 oil from whale driven on shore on the south coast of Long Island, 
 and a commission dated 25 June, 1723, appointing him as Ranger 
 General on the island of Nassau, vice Hicks. "Vide Comms. III., 
 p. 275, etc." 
 
 On 13 April, 1724, at a town meeting held in Oyster Bay. he 
 and others were chosen Trustees of that town and given power to 
 defend the town's rights in any court of law, with the right to 
 
62 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 sell any of the undivided lands in the "Old Purchase" of the town, 
 etc. (Liber E, p. 164, Oyster Bay.) 
 
 He was Justice of the Peace for Queens Co., and was fre- 
 quently chairman of the Grand Jury. (Minutes of Court of Genl. 
 Sessions.) 
 
 Between the years 1716 and 1730 he purchased and sold many 
 pieces of land in the town of Oyster Bay. During this period 
 he became possessed of a large piece of land near Cold Spring 
 Harbor, containing 312 acres, a large part of which in later years 
 came into the possession of the descendants of Maj. Thomas 
 Jones (Li). 
 
 This land was held by him until the 4th of Nov., 1741, when 
 for the consideration of £375 he conveyed it to James Doughty. 
 It embraced what is now (1899) the estate of Benjamin Schauck, 
 the lands of Joseph and John H. Doty (descendants of James 
 Doughty), a part of the lands of Helen Stewart and Samuel A. 
 Jones, and all of Memorial Cemetery. The deed (not recorded) 
 describes it as "being lands partly purchased by him, and partly 
 taken up by him on account of his rights in the same 'Old Pur- 
 chase' (of Oyster Bay), and was formerly surveyed and laid out 
 to me by James Townsend, surveyor (now deceased) and lately 
 to wit in the year 1736, resurveyed by Wm. Moyles, deputy sur- 
 veyor." 
 
 From what proprietors he purchased this land, and what part 
 of it was "taken up on his own rights" we are unable to state, 
 but it is supposed that some of "his rights" were derived in some 
 way through Maj. Thos. Jones (L i). 
 
 The earliest matter of record respecting this is the survey made 
 by James Townsend and recorded in Liber E, folio 17, Oyster 
 Bay. This survey made on 28 Nov., 1729, differs somewhat from 
 the one made by Moyles in 1736; the latter differing in some of 
 the boundary lines and included fifty acres "purchased of ye 
 Cooper's" (as shown by his map), apparently not included in 
 Townsend's survey. Notwithstanding this, Townsend's survey 
 embraced nearly the same in area, viz., 296 acres. For further 
 particulars and a reproduction of Moyles' map see under Walter 
 Jones (HL 13). 
 
 Later than this but little trace can be found of him on Long 
 Island. Wm. Pinhorne, who was 2d Judge of Supreme Court of 
 N. J., and who died in 1719, left a daughter, Elizabeth, who had

 named in the will of her brother, Gilbert Willett (prob. 11 Mch.,

 1733). Margaret, his 2d wife, was a dau. of Col. William 
 Willett. of West. Co., and his wife, Alice, dau. of Gov. Colden, 
 and therefore a niece of his first wife, Anna ; and may have been 
 the widow of John Treadwell. She was named in the will of 
 her brother, William Willett, prob. Dec. 13, 1765. Sarah Cornell, 
 the great gr. mother of Judge David Jones' (II. 2) children, came 
 from Essex, Eng., with her father, Thos. Cornell, and his wife,

 dates of the births of his children as above, are taken from a 
 record of the same endorsed upon the back of a deed from Henry 
 Lloyd to Maj. Thomas Jones (I. i), dated May 19, 1713, and 
 somewhat differ from those given by E. F. de Lancey in his intro- 
 duction to Thos. Jones Hist of N. Y., Vol. i, p. Iviii. (See under

 SEPT. 16, 1699, 
 
 AND DIED OCT. II, 1775, 
 
 AGED 76 YEARS AND I4 DAYS. 
 
 HERE LIES INTERED THE BODY OF 
 
 ANNA JONES 
 
 FIRST WIFE OF THE 
 
 HON. DAVID JONES, ESQ. 
 
 SHE WAS THE 2D DAUGHTER 
 
 TO COL. WILLIAM WILLET, 
 
 OF WESTCHESTER, 
 
 AND DIED 31 JANY, 1750, 
 
 AGED 46 YEARS. 
 
 They were originally interred in the old burying ground of 
 Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i), on Fort Neck, but were re-interred later 
 in Grace Church Yard, at South Oyster Bay. (See under Maj. 
 Thos. Jones (I. i.) 
 
 The father of Judge David Jones (H. 2) dying when the lat- 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 65 
 
 ter was only fourteen years of age, we can suppose the boy sent to 
 a proper preparatory teacher, and that his father's plans were 
 probably followed by his mother and the Rev. John Thomas as 
 his guardians. Mr. Thomas had been to England for an ordi- 
 nation in 1703, and must have been a man of education. He was 
 at Hempstead, L. I., in 1704, and married, as believed, Margaret, 
 daughter of the 2d Richard Floyd, of L. I., and Margaret Nicoll, 
 his wife. 
 
 On Oct. II, 1723, he gave a deed to his stepfather, Maj. Tim- 
 othy Bagley, for sand on the north side of L. I., and was a wit- 
 ness with him to Col. John Jackson's will. Judge David Jones 
 (H. 2) was then of age, and must have been in fair accord with 
 the noted colonel (who had been many years in office and who 
 had married a daughter of John Seaman), and the strong and 
 numerous family of Seaman and Jackson (N. Y. Gen, & Biog. 
 Rec. 2, p. 3) doubtless increased his prestige. His father-in-law, 
 Wm. Willett, doubtless lived in Westchester Co., and associated 
 with but did not belong to the Quakers. 
 
 We can allow him only about ten years for pursuing the prac- 
 tice of the law, forming friends, but not attracting much atten- 
 tion. We have not the particulars of the legal studies of the young 
 man. It is inferred that his wife was not an Episcopalian. 
 
 After Queen Anne's death in 17 14, the Guelph Kings George 
 I. and George 11. favored Presbyterians and dissenters, and the 
 high church Episcopalians soon lost political power and popular 
 favor. His father, Maj. Thos. Jones, did not live late enougii 
 to see or be affected by it. 
 
 The next minister of Hempstead Parish after Mr. Thomas 
 was the Rev. Henry Jenney, in 1725, who has favored us with 
 records lately printed (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec. 9, p. 183). Be- 
 fore this we have no records. Before 1731 we notice none of the 
 name of Willett or Jones, but many Cornells. Mr. Jenney 's father 
 was of Suffolk or Sussex Co., Eng., and had recently preached 
 in a small parish in Ireland, where it is probable there were some 
 Quakers. His father was perhaps one of the sons of George 
 Jenney, of England. 
 
 Wm. Vesey, at Hempstead, in 1695, called the first Episcopal 
 clergyman of N. Y. City, was of an old family settled in Ireland. 
 
 The war under Charles I. broke out in 1640. with the native 
 Irish, called Confederate Catholics, against the Protestants, called 
 
66 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Presbyterians, and was violently prosecuted and left irreconcilable 
 feelings of hostility between them. The Bishops supported the 
 King, who made terms with the Confederate Catholics, and were 
 all overthrown. In 1650 the Catholics were subdued by Cromwell 
 and their lands were parcelled out. 
 
 Charles II. recovered the throne in 1660 and tried to reinstate 
 tlie Episcopalians, but could not keep the Papists quiet. James II., 
 after his second marriage, favored also the anti-Cromwellians, but 
 he and his supporters were mastered by William of Orange in 
 1690, and many were driven away. 
 
 Out of all this we must derive our opinions respecting those 
 who came from Ireland to America, and we find it clear that 
 Episcopalians and Presbyterians generally took different sides 
 in this country. 
 
 As early as 1734 Judge David Jones (II. 2) had from Gov. 
 Cosby (who came from Ireland) the appointment of Judge of 
 Queens Co., sitting in its Court of Common Pleas. 
 
 In 1735 Gov. Cosby and household and Chief Justice de 
 Lancey attended the consecration of the new Episcopal church 
 at Hempstead, L. I., favored by the Jones family (N. Y. Gen. & 
 Biog. Rec. 9, p. 183). This was after the Zenger trials, and the 
 Chief Justice, perhaps, was not long to gain favor from the neu- 
 trals which he had lost among the Presbyterians. 
 
 On June 2, 1737, at an election for Members of Assembly for 
 Queens Co., Col. Isaac Hicks had 432 votes, David Jones (II. 2) 
 390, Capt. Benj. Hicks 342, and Thos. Alsop 287. As reported, 
 the electors were treated handsomely by the two first when elected. 
 The Quakers were divided; only freeholders were permitted to 
 vote ; two women (widows) voted as freeholders. 
 
 The Hicks family, a large one, was generally voted for and 
 supported by the Quakers. No subsequent contest was so close as 
 affecting our estimate of him personally. (Queens Co. in Olden 
 Times, Onderdonk, p. 21.) 
 
 In 1738 he witnessed the will of his neighbor, the 2d Col. 
 John Jackson, into whose large family his brother William (II. 7) 
 had married before his election to Assembly. 
 
 From 1737 to 1758 he was Member of Assembly, and also in 
 1761, and for thirteen years presided as Speaker of the House ; 
 here he made a decided mark, a part of public history. 
 
 On Dec. 15, 1737, he introduced a bill in the Genl. Assembly 
 
THE JONES FAMILY -OF LONG ISLAND 67 
 
 to repeal so much of the law of this Colony concerning Quakers as 
 required them to produce certificates. 
 
 This bill was lost, Chief Justice de Lancey dissenting. (Jour- 
 nals of Leg. Council of N. Y. S., 1743-1775-) 
 
 Oct. 20, 1737, he introduced a bill "to restrain tavern keepers 
 from selling strong liquors to servants and apprentices," etc. 
 Passed. 
 
 Sept, 14, 1738, he, with Col, Isaac Hicks and others, were ap- 
 pointed by the Legislature as a committee to prepare an address 
 of condolence to his Majesty on the lamented death of her late 
 Majesty Queen Charlotte. 
 
 Nov., 1739, a bill was introduced by him and passed, to prevent 
 setting on fire or burning the old grass on the Hempstead Plains. 
 
 At a meeting of Genl. Ass. held on 4 Oct., 1752, at the house 
 of Jacob Dyckman, in the Out Ward of N. Y. City, he was chosen 
 Speaker, "a choice His Excellency the Governor was pleased to 
 approve of." (Journal of Leg. Council, 1743- 1775.) 
 
 July 4, 1753, he and John Thomas and others were appointed 
 commissioners to examine and consider the encroachments made 
 on this Province by the neighboring Colonies. (N. Y. Coll. Laws, 
 pub. 1898, HL, p. 912.) 
 
 Sept. 3, 1750, at an election then held, the vote for David 
 Jones, late Speaker, was 452 votes, and for Thos. Cornell 477, 
 elected. For Judge Hicks 293, and David Seaman 288, both 
 defeated. (Queens Co. in Olden Times, p. 24.) 
 
 In 1752 the two late members, Jones and Cornell, "who car- 
 ried the election by a great majority," were said to be opposed to 
 the Court party, then directed, as supposed, by the English Ad- 
 miral Clinton, who did not favor de Lancey. 
 
 In 1758 there was a warmly contested election for Members 
 of Assembly. Mr. Hicks, who was called a partisan of the Gov. 
 Admiral Clinton, and also of his colleague, Zebulon Seaman, were 
 elected over Mr. Justice Jones and Mr. Cornell, who were termed 
 of the Livingston party. (Queens Co. in Olden Times, p. 31.) 
 
 Judge David Jones (II. 2), although an Episcopalian, was 
 not of the high church party that his son. Judge Thomas (III. 3), 
 adhered to, and, we infer, inclined somewhat to the Presbyterians 
 and other religious sects among whom, his son. Judge Thomas 
 (III. 3), tells us, "most of his constituents were." Allied as he 
 was to the VVillett family, and being strongly endorsed by the 
 
68 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Jackson, Seaman, and Livingston parties, we can readily under- 
 stand how his son, Thomas (III. 3), was not wilHng to endorse 
 him poHtically as against the de Lancey party. 
 
 In 1754, while Speaker of Assembly, he had much to do in 
 procuring the charter for the College of the City of N. Y, (now 
 Columbia). A clause in this charter provided that its president 
 should always be a member of the Church of England. This 
 created a furious storm of opposition, and David Jones was much 
 abused for favoring it. His son Thomas tells us "it threw the 
 whole Province into a ferment, and Presbyterian pulpits thun- 
 dered sedition." We infer from the following article that he was 
 not entirely in favor of this clause, but he lost much politically, 
 as later elections for Members of Assembly proved. We refer to 
 article published in the N. Y. Gazette and Weekly Post Boy of 
 July 28, 1755, and although not over his signature he was prob- 
 ably cognizant of it and allowed its publication, viz. : 
 
 "Whereas it has been reported to the reproach and predjudice of David 
 Jones Esq. Speaker of Gen. Assembly, that he used his endeavours for 
 obtaining a charter for establishing the college w^ith the exclusion of all 
 professions (but those of the Church of England) from being President. 
 These may serve to show^ that we have had great opportunities to know 
 his sentiments in the affair, and never have observed or discovered in any 
 one instance his application or inclination for having the charter in the 
 form and manner it now is touching the limitation aforesaid, but on the 
 contrary have often seen him shew his dislike thereunto, and have heard 
 him declare his opinion against it."

 Whatever his convictions may have been upon this point, he 
 nevertheless strongly supported the College against the attacks 
 made upon it by Presbyterians and others, based upon what they 
 were pleased to call its "narrow Church of England basis." He 
 was then Speaker of Assembly, and during the controversy he 
 was the recipient of many anonymous letters, and intense excite- 
 ment prevailed ; but James de Lancey was Lieut. Gov., the Epis- 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 69 
 
 copalian or Court party were in power, and the war between Gt. 
 Britain and France breaking out in 1775 the matter was dropped. 
 
 These attacks made apparently at the Church of England, were 
 but some of the not far distant rumblings of 1776. His son, 
 Thomas (III. 3), has much to say (in his Hist, of N. Y.) upon 
 this affair, and from his Royalistic standpoint denounces the on- 
 slaught in most bitter terms. For integrity of purpose and ad- 
 herence to the Church when it was one of the principal grievances 
 made against the mother country (which, unfortunately, became 
 a great factor in alienating the feelings of the people) we can but 
 allow both father and son the highest praise. We may not en- 
 dorse them politically, but both lived up to the truth of their 
 convictions through the most trying times. — J. H. J. 
 
 Feb. 24, 1 76 1, at an election for Members of Assembly for 
 Queens Co. (total vote 650), David Jones received 382, Thos. 
 Cornell 363, Thos. Hicks 342, and Zebulon Seaman 217. This 
 was close and not satisfactory. A new election was ordered, per- 
 haps by arrangement or compromise — de Lancey dying ; Mr. 
 Cornell and Mr. Seaman became seated as members. (Assembly 
 Journal, 2, 648.) 
 
 "It was common for a large town to nominate and generally 
 vote for two members, leaving other towns to vote for either or 
 to scatter their votes, by which course sometimes both were 
 elected. It was unfair toward the small towns, and it compelled 
 them to unite and have caucuses." (MSS. C. B. M.) 
 
 This election was successfully contested by Messrs. Hicks and 
 Seaman, and the Sheriff, who returned Jones and Cornell, 
 was reprimanded by the House for illegal behavior, and a new 
 election was held on 20 April, 1761, when he made a double re- 
 turn, viz., Thos. Cornell and David Jones, and Thos. Cornell and 
 David Seaman. On 9 June an examination of the votes was made, 
 and a decision made in favor of Seaman. (Ass. Jour. 2-648, 687.) 
 Onderdonk states that the poll clerks were cited before the com- 
 mittee, and the House decided that seven persons who had pur- 
 chased freeholds within three months of the time of voting, should 
 notwithstanding be allowed their votes, thus deciding in favor of 
 Seaman. 
 
 The second French War occurred in 1755 and greatly affected 
 the northern and western boundary of the Colony of N. Y. The 
 judge's son, Lieut. David Jones (III. 5), took part in it, and suf- 
 
70 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 fered an "ill fate." The soldiers were poorly protected, but as 
 natives probably fared better than stran^jers. 
 
 On Oct. 10, 175s, letters to Messrs. Jones and Cornell, mem- 
 bers of Assembly, were written by Genl. Sir Wm. Johnson, ex- 
 pressing thanks for cheeses and sheep sent from Queens Co. for 
 the relief of the army on the frontier. (Doc. Hist. N. Y., Vol. 
 II., p. 702). These show that the Genl. had received 69 cheeses 
 and 200 sheep, being part of the lopoo raised in Queens Co., and 
 further "Your cheeses were highly acceptable and reviving, for 
 unless among some of the officers, food was scarcely known among 
 us," etc. (N. Y. Gazette and Weekly Post Boy, Sept. 15, 1755.) 
 
 Tlie office of judge formed in popular estimation no objection 
 to action as a politician; nearly all of the judges were partisans, 
 but not all the lawyers. It was an old abuse in England to pro- 
 mote a partisan to be judge, but it has taken the course of having 
 the Chancellor and Chief Justice from the politicians, and the 
 others from the lawyers. There were four judges of the Supremx 
 Court of N. Y., ranking as first, second, third and fourth. (MSS. 
 C. B. Moore.) 
 
 Judge David Jones (II. 2) was a judge for fifteen years. He 
 was first appointed in 1758, as fourth judge, or youngest and low- 
 est in rank, when James de Lancey, the previous judge and Chief 
 Justice was acting as Governor. He was re-appointed in 1761 
 under George III. The rule was that all went out of office on 
 the death of a King, but Judges were generally re-appointed. 
 
 In 1762 he was re-appointed as third judge, and in 1763 as 
 second judge, Horsmanden being chief. 
 
 This position was apparently held by Mr. Jones until 1773, 
 when he probably resigned in favor of his son, Thomas (III. 3), 
 no other appointment as second judge in the meantime being 
 made. 
 
 William Smith became a junior judge in 1763, and held until 
 1769. Robert Livingston also became a judge in 1763. Geo. 
 Duncan Ludlow became a junior judge in 1769, and lived in 
 Queens Co. 
 
 We have very few accounts of their decisions. Perhaps the 
 absence of complaints, and the general good standing which the 
 Court attained until the war broke out are their best eulogy or 
 defense. We infer that Wm. Smith on the Bench more often 
 agreed with Jones than with Ludlow. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 71 
 
 David Jones' (II. 2) position and action as Speaker was more 
 prominent. 
 
 In 1737. when first elected, he perhaps had no occasion to act 
 as a partisan. 
 
 Admiral George CHnton was Governor from 1743 to 1753, 
 whose family was somewhat incHned to the Presbyterians, and who 
 did not favor de Lancey or the Episcopahans. 
 
 In 1745 England was still at war with France, and the great 
 grandson of James II. (called the Young Pretender) landed iii 
 Scotland and attempted to secure the crown of Great Britain. 
 The effect in this country was to exhaust Spain and France as 
 well as England, and make them less formidable here in the 
 Provinces. 
 
 The strain against Admiral Clinton as Governor of N. Y. 
 (1743-1753) while the English gained at sea turned much upon 
 reports made in the English Privy Council respecting occurrences 
 here, and directions made in England about affairs here werr 
 based upon such reports. 
 
 The reports had been made by the Governor, who would take 
 care to urge his own views and interests, and would take care 
 not to report the acts of the Colonial Legislature adverse to them, 
 and neglecting to protect colonial interests. 
 
 The Privy Council had called for the appointment of colonial 
 agents to reside in London and present the matters of the colony 
 and advocate colonial interests. The Governor had before ap- 
 pointed these agents and they had considered themselves bound to 
 advocate the views of the Governor. The result was the Colonial 
 Legislature of N. Y. resolved to appoint a London agent them- 
 selves, and appointed Robert Charles their agent and directed him 
 to correspond with their Speaker, David Jones (II. 2). The N. 
 Y. Coll. Documents (Vol. 5) give us some opportunity of study- 
 ing their acts. He died before serious fighting occurred on L. I., 
 but not before the preparations for the war. 
 
 Lieut. Gov. Colden acted as Governor on the death of Lieut. 
 Gov. de Lancey in 1760, and repeatedly afterwards. He was 
 willing to disparage Judge David Jones (II. 2) when first ap- 
 pointed judge, and while still Speaker, and while by authority 
 of the Colonial Assembly he was corresponding with the colony's 
 agent residing in London. 
 
 We note a letter of Colden to his son, dated July 5, 1759 
 
72 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 (before he was Lieut. Gov.), which has been published in the 
 N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll. for 1869, Vol. 2, p. 206. He was profess- 
 ing to comment upon Judge Wm. Smith's Hist, of N. Y., to whom 
 in politics he was much opposed, and who had criticised very 
 sharply and often inaccurately the character of the previous 
 Governors of the colony. Mr. Golden reviewing Gov, Fletcher's 
 course said "that while Col. Fletcher was Governor the inhab- 
 itants of New York carried on a trade to Madagascar while that 
 island was frequented by pirates, and many of the pirates came 
 and dispersed on Long Island and Delaware Bay." We notice that 
 everyone who came was called a pirate. He proceeded: "It has 
 often been remarked that none of the pirates made any use of 
 their money to any real advantage to themselves except one Jones, 
 who settled on the south side of Long Island, whose son made a 
 remarkable figure as Speaker of the Assembly while Mr. Clinton 
 was Governor; excepting this one no remains of the others are 
 to be discovered." 
 
 It is plain that Mr. Golden as well as Mr. Smith spoke of oc- 
 currences before he came to this country, and of which he per- 
 sonally knew nothing. We have no voucher but his own for the 
 slanderous story, as he did not tell us by whom "it had often 
 been remarked." It is true "no remains of the others are to be 
 discovered." 
 
 Persons named and directly accused by the blustering Irish- 
 man Coote, Earl of Bellomont, such as Gardiner of Gardiner's 
 Island ; Everett, the lawyer ; Thos. Clark, of New York, and the 
 like, who were never accused to their faces nor prosecuted so as 
 to have a trial, shook off without difficulty the vile accusations. 
 
 This Coote blindly speaks of one Smith and Jones having a 
 vessel which was seized or subject to seizure, but this is all we 
 know about it. No matter how many partisan tongues were 
 started nor how "often it has been remarked," by no one knows 
 whom, we have to conclude that there was no truth in the story, 
 and in fact no evidence of it deserving attention. (MSS. C. B. 
 Moore.) 
 
 Golden, who became Lieut. Gov. on the death of Chief Justice 
 de Lancey in 1760, was soon at variance with the Assembly, which 
 was then controlled by the Smith and Livingston party (or popular 
 party of the day), who were Presbyterians, and therefore strongly 
 opposed to the Royalists with their Church of England views. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 73 
 
 The popular party were desirous of having judges independent 
 of the Court party, while Colden, on the other hand, took op- 
 posite views, and refused to renew the commissions of the judges 
 of the Supreme Court excepting on terms of "during pleasure." 
 
 At the death of Chief Justice de Lancey, the puisne judges on 
 the Bench were John Chambers, Daniel Horsmanden and David 
 Jones (II. 2), men whom the latter's son. Judge Thomas Jones 
 (III. 3) characterized as "gentlemen of unblemished character, 
 undoubted ability and affluent fortune." Later, speaking of his 
 father. Judge David Jones (II. 2), he resumes, "He ever bore 
 the character of an honest, modest, sensible man ; his religion was 
 that of the English Church, and his reputation stood fair and un- 
 blemished in the estimation of mankind." 
 
 Mr. Piatt, who succeeded to the Chief Justiceship, died in 
 1762, and Daniel Horsmanden was appointed in his place, with 
 David Jones (II. 2) as 2d judge, Wm. Smith as 3d, and Robert 
 Livingston as 4th. The appointment of the last two, we are told, 
 "was a piece of policy." Before their appointment an attempt 
 was made by the Smith-Livingston party to have Wm. Smith 
 appointed as 2d judge in preference to David Jones, who had 
 been on the Bench many years. This, we are told by Judge 
 Thomas Jones (III. 3), was done because Horsmanden was an 
 old man and likely to die, and Smith would then succeed him, 
 and also because David Jones was a Churchman and a friend 
 to the established constitution. 
 
 Their petition was rejected and David Jones was appointed 
 as 2d judge. Smith died in 1769 and Ludlow (a strong Episco- 
 palian and Loyalist) was appointed. (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 This adherence of the Court party to the Established Church 
 caused bitter feelings and a long struggle between dissenting sects 
 and the government. (Lodge's Eng. Colonies in America.) It 
 had its beginning under Lord Cornbury, and what Maj. Thos. 
 Jones (I. i) supported in its infancy in this country, his son. Judge 
 David (IL 2), lived to be an active participator in, but died just 
 as the thunderings of 1776 broke upon the scene. 
 
 In 1773 Judge David Jones (II. 2), built a large house on his 
 estate at Fort Neck, which he called Tryon Hall in honor of Gov. 
 Tryon. (See particulars under Judge Thomas Jones (III. 3.) 
 
 In 1773 Judge David Jones (II. 2). being in ill health and in 
 the 75th year of his age, resigned his position as judge of the 
 
74 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Supreme Court, and Gov. Tryon, with the advice of His Majesty's 
 Council, appointed his son, Thomas Jones (III. 3), to the seat 
 vacated by his father. He retired to his estate on Fort Neck 
 where he died in the 77th year of his age, on Oct. 11, 1775. 
 
 "He possessed the clearness of mind and incisiveness of char- 
 acter which is so marked a characteristic of his race, never hesi- 
 tated in doing anything he beheved to be right regardless of the 
 consequences, and always commanded the confidence of the public 
 throughout his long career." (Ed. F. de Lancey in Thos. Jones 
 Hist, of N. Y.) 
 
 For thirteen years he filled the office of Speaker of Assembly, 
 and on one occasion had the firmness to order the doors of the 
 Asssembly closed against the Governor until a bill then under dis- 
 cussion and about to be passed, which was not acceptable to the 
 Governor, which his Excellency had determined to prevent by an 
 immediate prorogation. (Thompson's L. I.) 
 
 "During his whole life he was the unyielding advocate of the 
 rights of the people against every species of royal encroachment, 
 and no m.an participated more largely of the public confidence and 
 respect." (Thompson's L. I.) 
 
 To Judge David Jones (H. 2) and his heirs in-tail was devised 
 the greater part of his father's estate at South Oyster Bay, who 
 by suffering a Common Recovery the life estate thus devised to 
 him was changed into a fee, which he devised to his son Thomas 
 (HI. 3) during life, with remainder on failure of issue, to his 
 (David (H. 2) daughter Arabella (HI. 4) and her issue in- 
 tail-male. 
 
 Common Recovery was a mode of conveying lands by matter 
 of record through the forms of law, formerly in frequent use but 
 now obsolete. The fee (or fee simple) being an estate of inherit- 
 ance belonging to the owner, and transmissable to his heirs abso- 
 hitely and simply, without condition attached to the tenure. 
 
 The entailment of the property by David Jones (H. 2) on his 
 son Thomas saved it from being forfeited, as he adhered to the 
 royal cause during the Revolutionary War. and on the restoration 
 of peace was "attainted" and forced to leave the country for Eng- 
 land, where he died without issue. The large estate thus devised 
 him under his father's will was by a provision in that will vested 
 in the testator's daughter Arabella (HI. 4) and her heirs in-tail- 
 male. She married Richard Floyd, who in accordance with a 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 75 
 
 further provision in the will of his grandfather, David Jones (II. 
 2) took the surname of Jones in addition to his own, and also the 
 entailed estate, hence the origin of the double name, Floyd-Jones. 
 The will of David Jones ;^II. 2) was a long and special one. 
 It was dated 26 July, 1768, and proved in N. Y. City, Oct. 27, 
 1775. To which he later added three codicils. (See Vol. 30, pages 
 36-45, N. Y. City Surrogate's Office.) 
 
 ABSTRACT. 
 
 After recommending his soul into the hands of Him who gave 
 it, he orders his body to be laid out in homespun linen, put in ■\ 
 plain coffin and to be buried in his own burying ground on the 
 left side of his first wife, in a decent and Christianlike manner 
 without pomp. 
 
 All his beaches, lands, marshes, and grounds covered with 
 water in Oueens Co., he gives his son Thomas (III. 3) for his 
 use during his life, and after his death to the use of the first son 
 of his said son Thomas, and the heirs male of such first son, etc., 
 and in failure of such issue to the use of the second son, and sons 
 of his said son Thomas during their lives, etc. 
 
 On failure of heirs male of his son Thomas, he gives all the 
 said real estate to and for the use of the oldest daughter of his 
 said son Thomas during life, etc. In case of a total failure of 
 issue of his son Thomas, he gives the same to and for the use of 
 his grandson David Richard Floyd, the oldest son of his daugh- 
 ter Arabella, for his life, and after his death to and for the use 
 of the first son of his said grandson, in-tarl forever, they taking the 
 surname of Jones. 
 
 In case of total failure of issue of all his children, he gives 
 said lands to the College of the City of N. Y., the rents and issues 
 to be applied yearly to the maintenance of charity schools, etc., two 
 of said schools always to be in Queens Co., one at Jamaica and 
 the other in the town of Oyster Bay. 
 
 To his wife Margaret he gives all the money, debts, slave.?, 
 goods and chattels she had as her own estate or was due her at 
 the time of her marriage with me, and all the increase thereof, 
 the large silver tankard and silver teapot which have been made 
 since our marriage and paid for with her money, my riding chaii*. 
 horse, and £500. and the use of his slave Lucretia to attend upon 
 her during her widowhood.

 To his son Thomas he gives all the remainder of his estate 
 after his funeral expenses are paid, and my wife supplied with 
 provisions and firewood for herself and her domestics, and hay 
 and provender for her horse as long as she shall think proper to 
 live with my family not exceeding one year. 
 
 By a codicil dated 3 Oct., 1768, he revokes such part of his 
 former will as relates to lands in Queens Co., given his son 
 Thomas in-tail, and bequeaths the same to his said son Thomas 
 for life, with remainder to William Nicoll, Jr., of Suffolk Co., 
 and Samuel Clowes, of Queens Co., and to their heirs during the 
 life of his said son Thomas, etc., to hold the same in-tail male, 
 and in default of such issue, to the eldest daughter of hi? said 
 son Thomas for life, with remainder to first son of said daughter,

 Neck. 
 
 By a codicil dated Jan. 9, 1772, he orders that his son Thomas 
 shall live and dwell with my family on that part of my plantations 
 called Fort Neck, yearly during his life for the space of three 
 months at a time, and in case of his refusal, etc., then all his afore-

 was naturally dead.

 Facsimile of his signature from his acknowledgment in the 
 deed from John Townsend to Thos. Townsend, June 19, 173 1. 
 
 The original will of David Jones (after its probate in 1775) 
 was in the possession of his daughter, Arabella Floyd, the wife 
 of Col. Richard Floyd, until 1783, when at her request and upon 
 the advice of her brother, Thomas Jones (III. 3), then in Eng- 
 land, it was given in charge of the wife of Genl. Nathaniel Wood- 
 hull, and deposited in her house along with the General's will for 
 safekeeping. 
 
 The reason for this we are told was "that there was at that 
 time reason to believe that the house of Mrs. WoodhuU was not 
 in danger of being plundered by the Americans," etc., but in the 
 year following her house was destroyed by fire, and the wills and 
 all Mrs. Floyd's plate entirely lost. (Thos. Jones Hist, of N. Y., 
 Vol. II., p. 593.) 
 
 As the troubles of the Revolutionary War followed soon after 
 Judge David Jones' death, little was done toward administering 
 upon his estate. The executors named in his will had qualified, 
 but owing to the death of one, Wm. Nicoll, and of the treasonable 
 actions of the others, Thomas Jones and Richard Floyd, further 
 execution of the will was delayed. In 1786 letters of administra- 
 tion were granted to Samuel Jones (III. 8), of Oyster Bav (at- 
 torney of John Gale and Anna, his wife, and of Thos. Jones (III. 
 10), and Mary, his wife), the said Anna and Mary being daugh- 
 ters and legatees of David Jones; and to Samuel Clowes, Esq.. 
 of South Hempstead. (Liber 39, folio 54, Queens Co. Adms.) 
 As the laws concerning the care of moneys for the poor, in force 
 at the time of his death, had later been repealed, there was no 
 one to whom his bequest of £300 could be paid, and it remained 
 in his administrators' hands until 24 March, 1795, when a special 
 Act was passed authorizing the Overseers of the Poor of the town 
 of Oyster Bay to receive the same. 
 
78 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Following his noble example, a grandson of his brother Will- 
 iam (Samuel Jones (IV. lo), of Jericho, L. I., made a bequest 
 of $30,000 (to be called the "Jones Fund"), the interest of which 
 was to be used for the relief of the poor of that town. This was 
 in 1836. Fourteen years later (1850) a similar bequest of $5,000 
 was made by another member of the family, Walter R. Jones 
 (IV. 30) for the same purpose. The moneys thus bequeathed to 
 the town are now under the care and management of five trustees, 
 elected by the people, and officially known as "Trustees of the 
 Jones Fund." 
 
 Judge David Jones (11. 2) was long a member of St. George's 
 Episcopal Church, of Hempstead. A deed for his pew in this 
 church (now in the possession of the family) is curious; we give it 
 below : 
 
 The Rector and Inhabitants of the Parish of Hempstead, on Nassau 
 Island, in communion of the Church of England as by law established — 
 To all whom these presents shall come, greeting — Know ye that we, the 
 said Rector and Inhabitants, &c., for and in consideration of ten pounds 
 ten shillings New York money paid by David Jones, Esq., Thos. Cornell 
 and Micah Smith, gents : Have given and granted and by these presents 
 "do give and grant unto the said David Jones all that the full equal third 
 part of a certain pew in the body of St. George's Church in Hempstead 
 aforesaid marked number eighteen. To have, use and enjoy the said 
 third part of the said pew unto the said David Jones, and the heirs of 
 his body, he and they cleansing, maintaining and keeping the same in good 
 repair at his or their own proper costs and charges. Saveing and reserv- 
 ing unto the said Rector and Inhabitants and their successors not only 
 the reversion thereof failing the heirs of the said David Jones, but also

 (II. 4) MAJ. THOMAS JONES, son of Maj. Thomas (I 
 i); b. about 1702, drowned in Long Island Sound, Nov. 13, 
 1741, being the first of his father's family to suffer an "ill fate." 
 He never married, and died intestate. 
 
 In 1713 he was named in his father's will and then under age. 
 On Aug. 23, 1734, lie received his father's military title, and that 
 of his stepfather, being commissioned as Major of the Queens 
 Co. Regt., which regt. was Colonel John Jackson's and Major 
 Jones*. 
 
 "It was an old English fashion to call regiments by the names 
 of the colonels, and the titles would be kept in the same families 
 as long as possible." (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 In 1739 he was one of the incorporators of the ferry from 
 Matinecock, Long Island, to Connecticut, "Then ranking as a 
 public improvement." It was controlled and managed by him, and 
 was in active operation until his death in 1741. It was known 
 as a horse boat ferry from the fact that the motive power was 
 derived from a movable platform worked by horses. It was much 
 used because at that period there were no bridges across the 
 Harlem River (excepting King's Bridge), nor across the Bronx, 
 and other streams emptying into Long Island Sound ; and until 
 after the Revolutionary War the course of travel from New York 
 for New England was through Queens Co. to convenient crossing 
 places along the north shore of L. I. 
 
 By a newspaper report (copied in Queens Co. in Olden Times, 
 p. 22) we learn that "The ferryboat of Maj. Thomas Jones, of 
 Oyster Bay, was overset in the Sound, and himself, his negro, 
 three men and one woman who were passengers, with six horses, 
 were all drowned on Nov. 13, 1741." 
 
8o THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 A patent for this ferry, which later became known as "Major 
 Jones' ferry,'" was granted on July 13, 1739, by His Majesty's 
 Council to John Budd, Hachaliah Brown and Jonathan Brown, 
 of Westchester Co., and gave the inhabitants of Oyster Bay the 
 right to establish a ferry between Oyster Bay Harbor and a point 
 between the Bryam and Mamaroneck rivers in Westchester Co 
 A "table of fees" was made by the Council on March 27, 1739, 
 regulating the charges. (Col. N. Y. Hist. MSS., p. 534-537.) 
 (Land Papers XH., p. 132.) 
 
 On 21 Aug., 1739, these three patentees admitted Saml. Mac- 
 coune, Thomas Jones, Penn Townsend and others of Oyster Bay 
 9S patentees with them, "as was proposed and designed by them 
 before obtaining their patent," for the consideration of £37.10, 
 which amount was due from them toward the expenses of pro- 
 curing the patent. (Liber 10, p. 369, Queens Co.), and on 27 
 Oct., 1739, a confirmation of this patent was obtained by them 
 from the town. (Liber F, p. 37, Oyster Bay.) 
 
 On Nov. 2, 1739, Maj. Thos. Jones (H. 4) purchased their 
 interests for £31.8, with the conditions that he should at his own 
 cost and charge keep sufficient boats of need required at some 
 convenient landing on ye bounds of Oyster Bay, with able and 
 skilful servants to attend said ferry from ye bounds of Oyster 
 -Bay to Rye in Connecticut. (Deed not recorded; in possession 
 of family.) 
 
 This purchase with others (Liber 10, p. 369, Queens Co.) 
 probably made him sole owner of the franchise, and on 12th of 
 Nov., 1739, he purchased of Wright Frost, Daniel Underbill, John 
 Prior, Henry Cock, Jonas Latten, Jacob Frost and Daniel Frost, 
 the then proprietors of Fox Island in Matinecock in the town of 
 Oyster Bay, all their interest in said island, "bounded on north 
 by the bank, on south by the edge of the meadow, on east by the 
 beach, and on the west by the beach, it being all woodland, three 
 acres more or less, with privilege to build a wharf and pier for 
 accommodating a ferry and boats, and also ye privilege of ye creek 
 called Fox Creek, nigh unto said island ; that is, to pass and repass 
 to and from said creek with passengers and freight to said island, 
 etc., etc. (Deed not recorded ; in possession of the family.) 
 
 After his death in 1741 the ferry was abandoned, and on Sept. 
 4, 1770, his brothers. Judge David Jones (H. 2) and William 
 Jones (H. 7) conveyed to Deborah Prindle, of Derby, Conn. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 8i 
 
 (wife of Enoch Prindle), "all their right in the house and lands 
 at Matlnecock Ferry lately belonging to our brother Major Thos. 
 Jones, with the land at Fox Island, and the privilege of the ferry." 
 (Liber 12, p. 163, Queens Co.) On Sept. 13, 1783, Enos J. Prin- 
 dle, of Derby, Conn., conveyed the same to Daniel Cock. (Lib. 
 I, folio 34, Oyster Bay.) 
 
 For the privilege of running the ferry the patentees were to 
 pay to the town on the 25 of March (commonly called Lady's 
 Day), a yearly rental of two shillings and sixpence. Some of 
 the ferriage charges as fixed by the Council were as follows : 
 
 One per.son £0 o 6 
 
 One man and horse o 3 o 
 
 One full barrel o i o 
 
 One empty barrel o o 4 
 
 For every twenty sheep, hogs and sows o 5 o 
 
 Horned cattle, two years old and upwards. . . . o 2 o 
 
 Horned cattle, under one year old o i o 
 
 For each 100 weight of gunpowder o i 6 
 
 Under his father's will he was given jointly with his brother 
 William several pieces of land on the north and south sides of 
 Long Island, but dying without issue the lands thus bequeathed 
 to him reverted to his brother William. His estate does not ap- 
 pear to have been administered upon by any duly authorized 
 person. Some papers preserved to us show that his brother 
 David, "who called himself executor thereof/' submitted an ac- 
 count on 4 Oct., 1768, to the heirs at law, placing the value of his 
 personal estate at £768.15.0. This was divided into six equal 
 parts, one-sixth to each of the following: David Jones, Sarah 
 Clows, representatives of Margaret Johnson, William Jones. 
 Thomas Smith, and Elizabeth Lawrence, From this we infer that 
 a mutual division of his estate was to be made between his brothers 
 and sisters, or their representatives, and that his sisters Margaret 
 and Elizabeth had each married a second husband. 
 
 Judge David Jones (II. 2) died in 1775. and the estate (then 
 unsettled) was cared for bv the only surviving brother, William 
 (11.7). 
 
 The judge's son, Thomas (III. 3), in behalf of David R. 
 Floyd (the only son of his sister Arabella (III. 4), had already 
 laid claim to part of the estate, and some litigation may have en-

 This William, alone of the sons of Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i), 
 left descendants to perpetuate the family name, as neither of the 
 sons of David (II. 2) left issue, and Thomas (II. 4) died un- 
 married. From this fact he was commonly called "the head of 
 the family of Long Island." His family of fifteen children and 
 ninety-five gr. children gives him a good claim upon this title. 
 
 In 1726, at his mother's death (before he was of age), he 
 became possessed of land on West Neck under his father's will. 
 Some letters of his preserved indicate that he learned to write 
 very well, but his pursuits were mainly agricultural. 
 
 In 1 73 1 (by his marriage) he became connected with the large 
 
84 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 and active Jackson family, which afterwards afforded great sup- 
 port to Congress. 
 
 His son Samuel (III. 8) did not fancy the same political set 
 as Thomas (III. 3), son of David (II. 2), but studied law in an 
 opposite office. In 1764 his son Thomas (III.), marrying a dau. 
 of Judge David Jones (II. 2), his family became much divided 
 in political action. 
 
 From 1764 to 1770 he was Justice of the Peace for Queens 
 Co., and the minutes of the Court of Gen. Sessions give evidence 
 of his frequent attendance at its sittings. 
 
 He built a house on West Neck, a little west of the "Old Brick 
 House" of his father's, which served for his large family during 
 his life. The house and land which later came into the possession 
 of the Bronson family stood a short distance east of the old Conk- 
 lin Vande water Hotel and just north of the present South Side 
 Turnpike Road. "A road north, across the island, was west of 
 and near his house." 
 
 He was largely interested in the raising of horses and cattle 
 with his wife's family (the Jacksons), who owned the salt mead- 
 ows lying on the south side of the Great South Bay, where they 
 jointly pastured large numbers of animals. These meadows in 
 which he was a tenant in common, by purchase from the Jack- 
 sons in 1762, became the source of a long and bitter lawsuit be- 
 tween the Jacksons and the Joneses, and the town of Oyster Bay. 
 For details, see under Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i). 
 
 The animals were carried to these meadows in boats, and 
 while there were comparatively safe from the marauding expe- 
 ditions of the British, and were easily cared for. Being the only 
 farmer in his father's family, he was given the cattle mark that 
 was assigned his father by the town, and on Sept. 21, 1734, the 
 same was transferred to him on the books of the town. 
 
 For his cattle mark see under Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i). 
 
 In 1749 he was chosen assessor for the town of Oyster Bay. 
 This was probably his earliest public office. (Liber — , p. 33, 
 Oyster Bay.) 
 
 On April 3, 1764, he was chosen overseer of highways for 
 the south part of the town of Oyster Bay. (Liber H, p. 4, Oyster 
 Bay.) 
 
 In 1757 he was named as an executor in the will of John Sea- 
 man, of Jerusalem, 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 85 
 
 He adhered generally to the royal government during the war. 
 but not in arms. His family, as we have said, was much divided 
 politically, yet he himself, though favoring the royal cause, was at 
 heart strongly in favor of the other party. 
 
 In 1776, before the battle of Long Island, he signed the re- 
 monstrance against driving off the cattle from the Hempstead 
 Plains. Many of the freeholders signed this remonstrance, and 
 was a protest on their part against an order of the Provincial 
 Congress, "That all cattle and sheep south of the ridge of hills 
 in Queens Co. should be removed to the east end of the Plains 
 to prevent their falling into the hands of the British." 
 
 On 21 Oct., 1776, after the battle of Long Island, he with five 
 of his sons (some under age) petitioned for protection. Nearly 
 all of the male inhabitants of Queens Co. who had not left the 
 island signed this petition. It was addressed to the King's Com- 
 missioners, and prayed that Queens Co. might be restored to royal 
 favor. Many of the signatures were reluctantly given. (Revo- 
 lutionary Incidents of Queens Co., p. 117.) 
 
 On June 12, 1778, he made his will, and on July 24, 1779, 
 added a codicil. He named his sons John and Walter as execu- 
 tors, and gave them the homestead land on West Neck on condi- 
 tions, paying legacies, etc. 
 
 He gave all his beaches and marshes to his nine sons equally, 
 personal property to his wife, legacies of £100 each to his daugh- 
 ters, Elizabeth, Margaret, Phebe and Sarah; to Wm. Jones £100 
 for the use of my dau. Freelove, to Thomas £150 for use of Gil- 
 bert, and legacies to Richard and Hallett with minor directions. 
 
 It may be inferred from his will that at this time he despaired 
 of the success of the Congressional cause, whatever may have been 
 his wishes, and considering the dimension of the British army 
 on L. I. and in New York City, and the little knowledge he could 
 have in the remote interior, it may not be strange that he should 
 so despair. (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 His will was proved Jan. 17, 1781, and letters of adms. granted 
 nearly two years after his death. 
 
 He was buried (according to the MSS. of his son Walter) on 
 West Neck, in a new burying ground given for that purpose by 
 his sons John and Walter, by deed of gift, "containing y2 an acre 
 on the south side of the highway, east of or nearly opposite his 
 house, to be enlarged as required."

 Rec. v.. p. in). She b. 1746, survived her husband, and d. in 
 Hoddesdon, Eng., Dec. i, 1817, in the 72d year of her age. 
 
 He was hberally educated. In 1746 he entered Yale College 
 at the age of 15, when Thomas Clapp was prest., and during a part 
 of his collegiate course Ezra Stiles (who after became prest.) wa.*^ 
 a tutor. 
 
 Among his fellow students were Richard Morris, who later 
 became Chief Justice ; Saml. Seabury, who after became Bishop ; 
 Rev. Dr. Ogilvie, Saml. Hopkins, Richard Woodhull, and Genl. 
 Gold S. Silliman, the latter of whom, 29 years later, in 1779, being 
 a prisoner of war in the hands of the British, was exchanged for 
 Thomas Jones. 
 
 The discussions which led to the Rev. War early appeared 
 there. (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec. III., p. 57.) It seems Mr. 
 Jones disagreed with most of the other students in religion and 
 politics, and he did not endorse even their literary acquirements. 
 (See his (Thos. Jones) Hist, of N. Y., Vol. i, p. 5.) 
 
 In 1750 he graduated as A. B. and very soon commenced the 
 study of law with Joseph Murray, a lawyer of N. Y. City, and 
 not in the law office of Wm. Smith, St., or Jr., where his cousin, 
 Samuel Jones (III. 8), afterwards found a place, being about 
 three years his junior. 
 
 Their legal preceptors and associates were of different politics ; 
 they took different lines ver\^ early. Mr. Murray was a member 
 of the Governor's Council from 1744 to 1756, and a Governor 
 of King's College in 1756. 
 
 Thomas Jones was admitted to practise law (Doc. Rel, Coll. 
 Hist. N. Y., Vol. 8, p. 685), while James de Lancey was acting 
 Governor, and soon commenced the practice in N. Y. City. We 
 have little knowledge of what he did. Before 1769 he had trans- 
 acted legal business for Saml. Rogers, of Cold Spring Harbor. 
 L. I., who had sold out the greater part of his land at that place, 
 and who probably became an unsuccessful merchant or vessel 
 owner in N. Y. City. In July. ^7^7, Mr. Rogers confessed a judg- 
 ment in his favor for £266.16.6, penalty of a bond, and £18.5.6 
 
88 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 for costs of judgment. It is stated that the debt was for legal 
 services. An execution was issued to the Sherifif of Suffolk Co., 
 and some small pieces of land on the east side of Cold Spring 
 Harbor were sold in Jan., 1768, for £39 15s. by Geo. Meurson, 
 Sherifif of Sufifolk Co., who had married into the "Tangier" Smith 
 family. Some deeds and records yet preserved give us informa- 
 tion respecting this. 
 
 On Feby. 8, 1757, Mr. Jones was appointed Clerk of the Court 
 of Common Pleas of Queens Co., an office then generally filled 
 by deputy. (N. Y. Comms., Vol. 84, p. 118.) (Doc. Rel. to Coll. 
 Hist. N.V., Vol. 8, p. 685.) (Lib. D, p. 213, Queens Co. Reeds.) 
 This office he held only one year, retiring when his father became 
 a judge of the Supreme Court. His appointment was much op- 
 posed and his right was contested by Whitehead Hicks, who 
 claimed to be such clerk, and by Benjamin Hinchman, who re- 
 fused to deliver up the records. (Col. N. Y. Hist. MSS., p. 671.) 
 
 In 1758 he was named as an executor of his legal preceptor, 
 Jos. Murray, who gave his library to the New York College, 
 then called King's, afterwards Columbia. This introduced him 
 favorably, and he was later attorney for King's College, and had 
 no good words for Yale. 
 
 King's College was founded in 1756, and its charter favored 
 the Church of England ; the consequence of this was a hostile feel- 
 ing which caused both political and family quarrels between the 
 Livingstons, who were of the Presbyterian party, and the de 
 Lanceys of the Church of England. 
 
 Mr. Jones adhered to the latter ; the war was fast approaching 
 and "these facts gave color to the larger strife to come, and de- 
 termined the taking of sides." 
 
 It may be remembered that Lieut. Gov. Jas. de Lancey plumed 
 himself upon the charter of this college, while Wm. Livingston 
 opposed it. Mr. Jones was one of the Governors of King's Col- 
 lege, and for several years was its attorney, his commission for 
 the same being signed by Whitehead Hicks, Mayor, Dec. 18, 1771. 
 
 In 1762 Mr. Jones' father, Judge David (II. 2), had attained 
 distinction as a member and Speaker of Assembly, and had become 
 a judge ; his harmony with the previous judge, Chief Justice, mem- 
 ber of the Council and Lieut. Gov. James de Lancey, who had 
 appointed him, can readily be traced. Mr. de Lancey was ap- 
 pointed Lieut. Gov. in 1753, and held until 1755. In 1757 he 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 89 
 
 was acting- Gov., until July 30, 1760, when he died leaving a large 
 estate and a noted family. One of his sons, John P., of West- 
 chester Co. (the father of Bishop de Lancey), married Elizabeth, 
 dau. of Col. Richard P'loyd (5), and his wife Arabella, a sister 
 of this Thomas Jones. 
 
 It is fair to suppose that the marriage of the promismg lawyer 
 Thos. Jones (then aged 31) with Lieut. Gov. Jas. de Lancey 's 
 daughter Anne (then only 16 years of age) was a topic of much 
 discussion between Judge David Jones (II. 2) and her father's 
 eldest brother, James de Lancey, who had been a member of Genl. 
 Assembly of N. Y. and "the head of the family and the party 
 known by his name from his father's death to the Rev. War." 
 (Thos. Jones Hist, of N. Y., Vol. i, p. 658.) 
 
 It seems to have been an agreeable one to the family, and as 
 her mother, Anne de Lancey, was the daughter of Hon. Caleb 
 Heathcote and a sister of Sir Wm. Draper's wife, Mr. Jones 
 became connected with the families of Sir Peter Warren, of the 
 British navy, and of Sir Wm. Johnson, the latter of whom died 
 in 1774, and Mr. Jones (then judge of the Supreme Court) was 
 one of his pall bearers. 
 
 Some land set off to her is shown by deeds embracing a large 
 piece of land now bounded by Grand St., N. Y. City. Deeds re- 
 specting this recorded in 1780 and 1781 can be seen in Secy, of 
 State Office, Liber 21, folio 2;j, 64, 74-75. 
 
 In 1763 her brother, Jas. de Lancey, gave her two acres of land 
 in N. Y. City between the Bowery and the East River, where in 
 1765 Mr. Jones built a large house on its highest part known as 
 Mount Pitt or Jones' Hill. During the war the Americans 
 built a fort upon this place, called Jones' Hill Fort, which was 
 destroyed by the British. The house, by report, remained standing 
 until the early part of the nineteenth century. 
 
 On. Nov. 19, 1769, Mr. Jones was appointed Recorder of the 
 City of N. Y. by Lieut. Gov. Colden, and held until 1773. This 
 probably made him a member of the Common Council and of 
 the City Courts. (N. Y. Comms., Vol. VI., p. 91.) 
 
 This was his first judicial appointment ; two years later h.e was 
 reappointed by Gov. Tryon "during pleasure," and on Oct. 13. 
 1773, was succeeded by Robert Livingston, Jr., who held one year, 
 and the office was conferred upon John Watts, Jr., a cousin of 
 Judge Thos. Jones' wife. 
 
90 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 On Oct. 8, 1 77 1, Judge Thos. Jones was appointed attorney 
 or counsel for the Corporation of N. Y. City. (N. Y. Comms. 
 VI., p. 20.) This was in the line for promotion, and on Sept. 29, 
 1773 (his father retiring), he was appointed a judge of the Su- 
 preme Court of the Province. (N. Y. Comms. VI., p. 91.) 
 
 This appointment, which was made by Gov. Wm. Tryon, he 
 held until the close of the Rev. War, which with its results dis- 
 placed him. 
 
 Judge Thos. Jones held the last courts under the Crown in 
 the Province of N. Y., concerning which he gives us much in- 
 formation in his "Hist, of N. Y. during the Rev. War." As judge 
 of the Supreme Court his circuit embraced a large district, in- 
 cluding Westchester Co., and while sitting at the latter place in 
 1776 he discharged from custody several persons arrested for loyal 
 sentiments ; this he tells us was given as a reason for placing him 
 on the Act of Attainder and confiscating his property. This 
 judicial act was probably but the beginning of the end. His con- 
 nections with the de Lanceys and his training made him a devoted 
 Royalist and a far greater partisan than his father. We cannot 
 judge this a harsh measure when we consider his political career 
 and actions. His advice in the matter of the battle of Lexington 
 alone was enough to brand him an enemy to the American cause. 
 When the news of this battle reached N. Y. the whole city was 
 thrown into a state of great excitement and confusion. His 
 Majesty's Council was summoned at the house of the Lieut. Gov., 
 who had requested the attendance of the judges of the Supreme 
 Court, the Attorney General, the Mayor and the Recorder of the 
 City. The Gov. desired their advice in the critical state of affairs ; 
 several things were proposed but to no purpose ; Judge Jones, then 
 present, proposed "that the military should be called out and the 
 riot act read, and if the mob did not thereupon disperse, to appre- 
 hend and imprison the ringleaders." 
 
 The war was now on, and Judge Jones retired to his home on 
 Fort Neck, L. I., where on June 27, 1776 (the year following), 
 he was arrested by Major Abell on an order of the Provincial 
 Congress, charged with being "an enemy to the American cause 
 on account of his holding offices from the King, and refusing to 
 associate with his fellow citizens." He was shortly afterwards 
 discharged by Gov. Morris upon his parole and returned to his 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 91 
 
 home "tliere to await the further order of said Congress." On 
 Aug. nth of that year he was again arrested and carried before 
 Lord StirHng, Genl. Scott and Col. McDougal, and on an order 
 from Genl. Washington was sent to Connecticut as a prisoner of 
 war. On Dec. 7, 1776, he was again paroled, promising "not to 
 give notice or intelligence to the enemy of America, not to take up 
 arms, and to return to New York when required." 
 
 He returned to Long Island, where three years after his house 
 was broken open (as he tells us) "and robbed of everything that 
 could be taken," and he himself carried to Conn., where he was 
 kept a prisoner during the years 1779 and 1780, and was then 
 exchanged for Genl. Silliman, who some 30 years previous was 
 his classmate in Yale College. (Sabine's Loyalists, Rev. Incidents 
 of L. I. and Thos. Jones Hist, of N. Y.) 
 
 While a prisoner in Conn, much of his property, including his 
 horses and cattle, was taken by the Continental Army, which, after 
 the evacuation of L. I., fell into the hands of the British. After 
 his return he made a demand upon the British Commissary Genl. 
 for the value of his fat cattle, but payment was refused on the 
 grounds that the commissary did not know ''which regiment eat 
 the cattle." 
 
 Among those taken to Conn, and retained there, besides Judge 
 Jones, were Danl. Kissam, Jr., Adam Seabury, Benj. Hewlett and 
 Isaac Smith, some fourteen in all. 
 
 On Oct. 23, 1779, the N. Y. Legislature passed an Act of At- 
 tainder, by which all persons mentioned therein "were attainted, 
 their estates, real and personal, forfeited, and themselves pro- 
 scribed, and each and every one of them who shall at any time 
 hereafter be found in any part of this State shall be and are de- 
 clared guilty of felony, and shall suflfer death as in causes of 
 felony without benefit of clergy." 
 
 The judge's name was included in this Act of Legislature, and 
 on Mch. 21, 1781, he sold at auction at the house of James Dur- 
 yea, at Fort Neck, all his working oxen, cows, and horses, most 
 of them full blooded, etc., etc., and all his implements of farming. 
 
 In June, 1781, he sailed for England with his wife and niece. 
 Elizabeth Floyd, in one of a fleet of six vessels. 
 
 On their departure Dr. Benj. Moore (who later became P>ishop 
 of N. Y.) presented Mrs. Jones with the following tribute: 
 
92 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 "By the rude storms of faction blown, 
 Enough of dangers you have known. 
 Witness the hour when rebel bands 
 A husband seized with ruthless hands, 
 And dragged to vile captivity, 
 From comfort far and far from thee. 
 No pity touched the hardened train. 
 Affection prayed and prayed in vain." 
 
 Peace was declared in 1782, and as no treaty stipulations were 
 made in favor of Loyalists and the Act of Attainder not repealed 
 but became operative, Judge Jones was obliged to remain in exile, 
 and the remainder of his life was passed in Hoddesdon, Hertford- 
 shire, Eng., where he died. 
 
 Under the Act of Attainder all of his real estate not entailed 
 by his father's will was confiscated, and also all his personal prop- 
 erty, the former of which included lands in Queens, Westchester, 
 Ulster, Orange and Tryon counties. In compensation for these 
 losses the British Government paid him the sum of ^5,447. 
 
 On 2d Aug., 1785, his real estate in N. Y. City was sold by 
 the Commissioners of Forfeiture for ^970, described as being in 
 the Out Ward of the city, etc., and comprised about two acres 
 of land (Liber 43, p. 36, Conveyances N. Y. City), situated on 
 the highest part of Grand St., near the East River. It was known 
 as Mount Pitt, and here Judge Jones had his town house. This 
 land was given to the judge's wife Anne in 1765 by her brother, 
 James de Lancey. Much can be read concerning his confiscated 
 estates in the judge's Hist, of N. Y., before alluded to. 
 
 On 5 March, 1793, Simon De Witt, Surveyor General, adver- 
 tised for sale at Norwich, Queens Co., L. L, "all the lands deemed 
 to be forfeited by the attainder of Thos. Jones, viz., all the 
 meadow, fresh and salt, lying on the south side of L. I., joining 
 the beach between the gut called Massapage, west or thereabout, 
 and the west gut called Merrick Gut, and the hammocks and 
 broken meadow lying between Oyster Bay meadow and the beach, 
 with the privilege of the beach to the salt sea. Deed given without 
 warrantee." (Queens Co. in Olden Times, p. 82.) Conveyed 
 probably to Isc. Smith, who perhaps bought for the town of Oyster 
 Bay; see lawsuit concerning meadows under Maj. Thos. Jones 
 (Li). 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 93 
 
 His house on Fort Neck, L. I. (then called Tryon Hall), in 
 which he was living at the time of his arrest, was built for him 
 by his father, Judge David (H. 2) in 1770. "It is ninety feet 
 long, east and west, and overlooks the Great South Bay. The 
 foundation is of free stone, and the framework is of hewn timber. 
 The entrance hall is thirty-six feet long by twenty-three wide, 
 floored with heavy Southern pine. The stairs of this house are 
 a puzzle to modern architects, as they are open underneath from 
 bottom to top and have no support except from the wall to which 
 they are attached, and yet have never yielded a particle in the 
 lapse of more than a century of continued use." 
 
 During the war it was commonly called the "Refugee House," 
 from the fact that Judge Jones permitted several of His Majesty's 
 loyal subjects to live in it. 
 
 A story recently published (1900) under the title "For a 
 Maiden Brave," the scene of which includes the house of Judge 
 Jones and its immediate vicinity, gives a spirited account of his 
 capture. 
 
 Judge Thos. Jones was a man of "rare penetration and great 
 independence. He was very kind to his family, and in his business 
 transactions very exact. His legal papers preserved to us are 
 models of brevity and precision." 
 
 A letter of his to his nephew, David R. Floyd, under date of 
 1787, well portrays the man. Quoting from this he says, "Con- 
 sult your father-in-law in everything." This was Hendrick On- 
 derdonk, whom he calls in his History "an arrant rebel." "He 
 was a friend of your grandfather's ; he was a friend to all our 
 family ; he was a friend of mine, and tho' he and T differed in 
 politicks during the last war, T know him to be an honest man." 
 (Thos. Jones Hist, of N. Y., Vol. i, p. Ixxiv.) 
 
 Judge Thos. Jones left no issue. He adopted as his daughter 
 Anne Charlotte de Lancey, the eldest daughter of John P. de 
 Lancey (Mrs. Jones' brother), who later became the wife of 
 John Loudon McAdam, of N. Y. City. 
 
 While living in England, "where he sailed for," as he mildly 
 puts it in a letter to his sister, "on account of ill health, and that 
 his intentions were to return after peace was declared if he could 
 keep his neck out of the halter," he wrote his history, recently 
 published under the title of "History of New York During the 
 Revolutionary War." At his death the manuscript fell into the 
 
94 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 possession of his widow, who in 1817 bequeathed it (and all her 
 property) to her adopted daughter, Mrs. McAdam. The latter 
 gave it to her brother, Wm. Heathcote de Lancey (Bishop of N. 
 Y.), who in 1865 bequeathed it to his son, Edward Floyd de 
 Lancey. It remained in the latter 's possession until 1879, when 
 through the liberality of Mr. John D. Jones (V. 79), who had 
 donated the N. Y. Hist. Society a sum of $6,000 for historical 
 purposes, it was published by the society under the title above 
 named, Mr. de Lancey ofifering the MSS. to the Society "as the 
 first issue to be made under the terms of the endowment." 
 
 His history speaks for itself. He saw the beginning and the 
 end of the struggle for independence, and a loyalist of the strong- 
 est kind, he closely studied the tendencies toward revolution, and 
 had no love for the adoption of republican ideas. Historically 
 his work is of much value, and furnishes us with a clear view of 
 that period in our history as it appeared to those who lost all by 
 their loyalty to the British cause. 
 
 It has been stated that "Anne de Lancey's eyes determined his 
 politics, and was, therefore, a Tory of a savage sort." Be this 
 as it may, he has given us a clear account of the stirring events 
 of his day, and in a fairly impartial manner. He was, it is true, 
 embittered by party feelings, yet he does not hesitate to expose 
 the wrongdoings of his party. He tells us that "for resistance to 
 the Revolution he and others were rewarded by the utter and 
 inexcusable failure on the part of the ministry of Lord North to 
 protect them." 
 
 Shortly after its publication a book was published under the 
 title of "Observations on Judge Jones' Loyalist History of the 
 American Revolution : How Far is It An Authority ?" It was 
 edited by Henry P. Johnson, and questions many of the judge's 
 statements. 
 In 1785, Judge Thos. Jones made his will as follows — 
 
 I, Thomas Tones, late of the Province of New York, in North Amer- 
 ica, do make this my last will as follows : I give and devise unto my 
 wife, Anne Jones, and to her heirs and assigns forever, my whole real 
 and personal estate, in which I include whatever shall be owed me by 
 government as a compensation for my losses in America. I appoint my 
 said wife executrix of this my will. I hereby revoke all former wills. In 
 witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this gth day of 
 December, 1785. 
 
 Thomas Jones [L. S.].

 This with the attestation clause and the three witnesses names 
 is all. He died at Hoddesdon, near London, Eng-., on the 25th 
 July, 1792, and was buried under the south aisle of Broxbourne 
 Parish Church in Hertfordshire, where a slab recently covered 
 over bears his name. Near it is placed a mural tablet bearing 
 the following^ inscription ; also one to the memory of his widow, 
 and another to Mr. and Mrs. McAdam.

 (III. 4) ARABELLA JONES, dau. of Judge David Jones 
 (IL 2) ; b. Dec. 7, 1734; bapt. as an adult, Jan. 26, 1750, in St. 
 George's Epis. Church at Hempstead, L. L; d. May 29, 1785; m. 
 Nov. 2, 1757, Col. Richard Floyd (5) (fourth of that name), of 
 Brookhaven, L. L ; b. Feb. 26, 1731 ; d. at Halifax, N. S., Feb. 6, 
 1791, a son of Richard (3) and his wife Elizabeth, dau. of Benj. 
 Hutchinson. Issue : 
 
 8. David Richard, b. Nov. 14, 1764; d. Feb. 10, 1826. 
 
 9. Elizabeth, b. Aug. 8, 1758; d. May 7, 1820. 
 
 10. Anne Willett, b. Aug. 17, 1767; d. June 8, 1813. 
 (See under Floyd family.) 
 
 Of this Arabella (III.4) we have little personal history. Her 
 husband supported the Royalists with the de Lanceys ; under arms 
 in the Rev. War, and, failing, became a refugee and died in a 
 foreign land. He was a Or. Master in de Lancey's 3d Battalion 
 in 1782, and Col. of the Suffolk Co. Militia under a commission 
 from Gov. Try on. 
 
 It is supposed that she did not follow her husband to Halifax, 
 but if she did she shortly returned. On the death of her brother 
 Thomas (III. 3), in 1792, without issue, and of her husband, 
 it appears she had not been attainted by statute, nor done anything 
 to forfeit her title to land, and her father's will by the entailment 
 (then valid and operative) had vested his large landed estate in 
 her and her heirs male. 
 
 In pursuance with his will, and with her consent, and with that 
 of her brother. Judge Thos. Jones (III. 3) (who became civilly 
 dead by reason of the Act of Attainder), her only son, David R. 
 Floyd (8), took the whole of the Fort Neck estate and further, 
 in compliance with his will, took also the name of Jones, thereby 
 becoming David Richard Floyd-Jones (i). This change of name 
 was confirmed by Act of Legislature on 14 March, 1788. 
 
 See under David Jones (II. 2) and Thos. Jones (III. 3). 
 
 The large landed estate thus entailed by Judge David Jones 
 (II. 2) was enjoyed by his grandson David Richard Floyd-Jones 
 (i) until 1826, when the latter's son. Brig. Gcnl. Thomas Floyd- 
 Jones (3) succeeded to it, and was its last possessor under the en- 
 tail. At his death the estate was divided between his four chil- 
 dren, the eldest of whom, David Richard Floyd-Jones (7), re- 
 
98 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 ceived the Fort Neck house, the old homestead of Judg^e Thomas 
 Jones (III. 3), 
 
 Col. Richard Floyd (5), the husband of Arabella Jones, lived 
 on his father's farm at Mastic, L. I. (a part of the manor of St. 
 George), which was forfeited by his adherence to the British 
 cause and sold by the commissioners of forfeited estates on 5 Aug., 
 1784, to his brother, Benjamin Floyd, who sold the same for 
 ^2,750. 
 
 He was a leading man in the town of Brookhaven, a strong 
 supporter of the Crown, and suffered much at the hands of the 
 Americans. Judge Thos. Jones (III. 3) calls him "as loyal a 
 subject as ever the King could boast of." 
 
 In 1776, after the capture of N. Y. City by the British, he, with 
 others, signed a petition to re-establish the civil government, but 
 the Declaration of Independence soon following put an end to it. 
 Among those who signed the petition we note Genl. de Lancey, 
 Benj. Seaman and Christopher Billop, all of whom were included 
 in the Act of Attainder of 22d Oct., 1779. 
 
 (III. 5) LIEUT. DAVID JONES, son of Judge David (II. 
 2) ; b. April 30, 1737; d. Sept. 9, 1758; bapt. in St. George Prot. 
 Epis. Church, Hempstead, L. I., Jan. 26, 1750. Never married. 
 
 In 1754 he attended school at Hempstead, L. I., under the 
 tuition of the Rev. Saml. Seabury, father of the Bishop. This 
 school obtained much repute, and many of the leading families of 
 Queens Co. sent their sons there, among whom were Wm. Law- 
 rence, Jos. Kissam, Benj. Onderdonk (son of Hendrick), and 
 Thos. Truxton, afterwards the Commodore. 
 
 In 1758 he was appointed First Lieut, in the 3d Company of 
 the Queens Co. Regt. in the campaign against the French in 
 Canada. 
 
 The quota of soldiers to come from Queens Co. was fixed at 
 290 men, divided into three companies, and on April 18, 1758, a 
 list of these companies then under pay of the Province was given. 
 Of the 3d Co., Petrus Stuyvesant was Capt., and David Jones 
 First Lieut. (See Report N. Y. State Historian, Vol. i, p. 847.) 
 
 The 2d Co. was under the command of Capt. Richard Hewlett.

 more efficient than the "English Regulars" (so-called), who were 
 billeted upon the inhabitants and acquired their hatred. 
 
 The Regt. fell under the command of Col. Bradstreet and Col. 
 Chas. Clinton, and were sent to Lake Ontario. 
 
 On 27 Aug., 1758, they captured Fort Frontenack, but were 
 obliged to endure great hardship and labor, besides being short of 
 supplies. (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec. IX., p. 173). Lieut. David 
 Jones was taken sick shortly after the capture and died at the 
 "Oneida Carrying Place," near Rome, N. Y., on 9 Sept., 1758. 
 
 Among the MSS. papers of his grandfather, Maj. Thos. Jones 
 (Li), we find the following record concerning him. It is en- 
 dorsed on the back of a deed from Henry Lloyd to Thos. Jones 
 (I. i), dated 19 May, 1713, viz.: "David Jones married to Anna 
 Willet, daughter to Col. Wm. Willet, of Westchester Co., on 
 Nov. 22, 1722. Had by her: 
 
 Anna Jones, b. Tuesday, May il, 1724. 
 
 Sarah Jones, b. Saturday, Feb. 12, 1728; d. Apl. following. 
 
 Thomas Jones, b. Tuesday, Apl. 20, 1731.

 David Jones, b. Saturday, Apl. 30, 1737. 
 
 Mary Jones, b. Friday, Apl. 29, 1743- 
 
 "David Jones died Sept. 9, 1758, at the Oneida Carrying Place, 
 after his return from taking Fort Frontenac while under Col. 
 Bradstreet's regiment, with whom he went a volunteer officer in 
 that regiment, and it is said 'behaved in the action with becom- 
 ing bravery.' " 
 
 Another memorandum concerning him states "he went to the 
 north in the army, having one of the McCoons for his waiter, and 
 died of fatigue during the march ; his powder horn was brought 
 home." (MSS. Chas. H. Jones (IV. 34)). 
 
 He was brevetted Captn., and a sword presented him by Col. 
 Hewlett, of East Woods (now Woodbury, L. I.), is still in pos- 
 session of the family, and has the following inscribed upon the 
 
 hilt.

 On 14 July, 1772, by a certificate of that date, he was an 
 Ensign, ae 39, in Capt. John Hewlett's Company, acting in place 
 of Lieut. Thos. Van Wyck, who refused to go after being drafted 
 from the militia for the expedition against the French, when Fort 
 Wm. Henry was taken by the latter. He went with the Co. 
 until orders from the commander-in-chief directed their return. 
 (MSS. C. H. Jones.) 
 
 In 1779 he was Capt. of a local militia force and had a swivel 
 gun near his house, which he used more than once. (Revo. In- 
 cidents Queens Co., p. 195.) 
 
 On 25 Sept., 1 78 1, he and Capt. Thos. Seaman attempted to 
 capture the sloop Restoration, then driven on shore in the town 
 of Hempstead, but were taken prisoners and soon after exchanged. 
 (Revo. Inc. Queens Co., p. 201.) 
 
 On 12 Jan., 1782, he was ordered by Col. Upham, who was 
 then in command of Lloyds Neck, to accompany Benj. Birdsall 
 back to that place, as John Hewlett, Esq., in whose care Birdsall 
 was, was obliged to go to New York. Col. Upham was then in 
 command of the British troops, and Birdsall was a son of Col. 
 Benjamin Birdsall, the Revolutionary patriot. (War Claims in 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND loi 
 
 Huntington Town Reeds., Vol. i, p. 57.) He probably parted 
 with his interest on the south side of L. I. or had it protected by 
 his brother Samuel (HI. 8), and after the close of the Rev. War 
 removed to Cold Sprin^ Harbor, L. I. 
 
 He had a deed from Philip Youngs for some land at that place 
 on 12 Feb., 1785, which was subject to mortgages. He obtained 
 title also under the mortgages. This land was on the westerly 
 side of the Harbor, and extended southerly to or near the head 
 of the same. By report he rebuilt some portion of the house then 
 standing thereon, and was living there in 1791. This house later 
 became the homestead of John H. Jones (IV. 27), but was de- 
 stroyed by fire in 186 1. It was one story and a half high, covered 
 with shingles, and had one large chimney in the centre. On its 
 westerly end was a smaller chimney leading to a large brick oven 
 standing upon four wooden posts. 
 
 In 1790, Sept. 14, he joined with his brothers in adjusting 
 and releasing claims to the South Beach and meadows. (Lib. 
 29, p. 329, Queens Co.) 
 
 On 2d May, 1794, he received a deed from Samuel Jackson 
 and Jemima, his wife, for 43 acres of land at Cold Spring Harbor, 
 and woodland adjoining the pond and the fulling mill dam, on 
 the east side of Ireland's path, surveyed by Saml. Willis on 24 
 June. 1767 (map professed to be copied in the town record book), 
 called an allotment in the right of Abraham Underbill, and 28 
 acres on the west side of the Upper Mill Dam. 
 
 In 1801 he signed, with his brother John, a paper about the 
 Episcopal church at Oyster Bay. 
 
 In 1806, by deed dated 15 of 5 month, he conveyed to his 
 brother John Jones land at Cold Spring Harbor where he had 
 resided, and released beaches. On the same day he conveyed to 
 his cousin, Maj. Wm. Jones (IV. 4), son of his brother Samuel, 
 land on the west side of Cold Spring Harbor north of that con- 
 veyed to John, 
 
 After these transfers were made he returned to Jerusalem 
 South, Queens Co., where on 15 June, 1806, he made his will, 
 naming his wife Elizabeth, and sons Thomas and William, the 
 latter receiving the remainder of his estate on condition that he 
 support his son Thomas for life.

THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 103 
 
 Johnes family of Southampton, L. I., who by an Act of Legis- 
 lature changed his name to Jones. He was named in the will of 
 his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Herring, with his son Nicholas and 
 dau. Elizabeth Jones. 
 
 Judge Samuel Jones' early education was rather limited ; he 
 went to school at Hempstead, L. I., and was probably instructed 
 there by the Rev. Saml. Seabury. 
 
 He did not enter college, and when young made several voy- 
 ages to Europe as a sailor in the merchant service. Shortly after 
 this he became a clerk in the office of Judge Wm. Smith, and 
 studied law with him or his son, Wm. Smith, the historian and 
 Judge, with whom George Clinton also studied law. 
 
 This Wm. Smith (the judge) had been one of the counsel 
 for Zenger in 1732, and had been ill treated, being discharged by 
 Judge de Lancey, but afterwards restored, and in 1763 became 
 Judge of the Supreme Court. 
 
 Judge David Jones (II. 2) was well acquainted with both, 
 and, for aught that appears, on good terms with the senior sit- 
 ting on the Bench with him for six years, but the breach between 
 Wm. Smith and the de Lancey party or family was never made 
 up, and political and religious parties perpetuated it. 
 
 Mr. Smith ranked as a Presbyterian (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec. 
 4, p. 99) and followed generally the course of the Presbyterians 
 in N. Y. Presbyterians and Episcopalians had been at war and 
 became political antagonists, and the studying of Saml. Jones 
 with Wm. Smith perhaps led him to a set of opinions and action, 
 or at least brought him into association with a set of legal and 
 political friends very different from his cousin, Judge Thomas 
 Jones (III. 3). 
 
 The date when Saml. Jones commenced to study law is not 
 known. It is stated that a part of the time he devoted to legal 
 studies was passed in the office of the old lawyer, Samuel Clowes, 
 of Jamaica, L. I., whose son Gerardus married Sarah Jones 
 
 (ii.'s). 
 
 We have little account of the struggles of the young lawyer. 
 It is inferred that he was practising law in N. Y. City before his 
 first marriage in 1765. His father-in-law, connected with the 
 Dutch, was a merchant in N. Y. City (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec. 
 13, p. 84) and his associations and intermarriage with the Dutch' 
 indicate him not an Episcopalian, and as early as i76<S there are 
 
104 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 strong indications of legal differences between the families of 
 David Jones (11. 2) and William Jones (II. 7). His 2d marriage 
 in 1768 was with a stronger family; the name had been spelled 
 Haring among the Dutch, and his 2d wife's gr. father was a 
 member of Congress with Geo. Clinton which voted the Declara- 
 tion of Independence (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec 39, p. 11, 36; 12, 
 p. 124; 13, p. 79). His father-in-law, Elbert Haring, became pos- 
 sessed of a large real estate in N. Y. just outside of the city. It 
 extended on both sides of modern Broadway between Canal St. 
 on the south and Art or Stuyvesant St. on the north, and between 
 the Bowery on the east and 6th Ave. on the west, in the rising 
 value of which his children participated. 
 
 The de Lancey property on which Judge Thos. Jones (III. 3) 
 resided was southeast of this. 
 
 In 1771 Mr. Jones was in N. Y. and probably had official 
 charge of the lawsuit prosecuted by his father and the Jacksons 
 against the town of Oyster Bay in 1769, concerning the South 
 Beach Meadows, and probably advised the agreement of 1769. 
 (See under Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i.) It may be assumed that he 
 and his cousin, Judge Thos. Jones (III. 3), taking such different 
 sides, were soon antagonists. Their fathers living near each other 
 in the country must be the vehicles of intercourse on topics of 
 mutual interest. The title to the beaches and meadows, and some 
 land of their fathers in which they and their deceased brother 
 Thomas (II. 4) were concerned, were such topics of mutual in- 
 terest. Some letters touching these are preserved. (MSS. C. 
 B. Moore.) 
 
 In 1774 the citizens of N. Y. took a decided stand against 
 the attempt of England to tax America. Mr. Jones favored the 
 former and on 22d of Nov. of that year he was appointed on the 
 Committee of Correspondence (consisting of 60 members) in 
 N. Y. City. He as a member voted in favor of the letter which 
 invited Continental action. Col. Benj. Seaman (from the L. I. 
 family), sitting as Member of Assembly from, Staten Island, was 
 willing to press this letter, but soon shrank from the result. Its 
 object was to secure obedience to the Genl. Congress of 1774, and 
 advised non-intercourse with Gt. Britain, and its members styled 
 themselves "the guardians of the rights and liberties of the Col- 
 onies." On March 6, 1775, this committee called a meeting of 
 the freeholders of N. Y. City and voted Phil. Livingston, James 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 105 
 
 Duane, Wm. Floyd, Phil. Schuyler and others as representatives 
 in the Continental Congress. (Wilson's Memo. Hist. N. Y. 2, 
 
 P- 443-) 
 
 In May following the committee chose another body of men 
 known as the "Committee of One Hundred," whose object was 
 to enforce the laws of the Continental Congress; of this body 
 Samuel Jones was No. 47. 
 
 On the outbreak of hostilities he removed to Connecticut, and 
 thence to Orange Co. He did not take up arms, but having con- 
 siderable business requiring attention he returned with his family 
 in 1776 to West Neck, L. I. 
 
 In a letter written by John Morin Scott, dated 15 Nov., 1775, 
 descriptive of the general situation of the city, he says : "Every 
 office shut up almost but Saml. Jones, who will work for 6/ a 
 day and live accordingly." (Todd's Hist. N. Y. City, p. 292.) 
 
 In the Hist, of N. Y. by his cousin. Judge Thos. Jones (III. 
 3), he was taken very little notice of and was called " a clerk 
 in the office of Wm. Smith." The judge further represents him 
 as "claiming some land for relatives or himself when holding a 
 mortgage upon it although confiscated and forfeited by the 
 owner." This we are told by Mr. C. B. Moore was "put in a shape 
 designed to blame the new government, but we understand that 
 Mr. Jones succeeded as far as was fair and regular." 
 
 "If the land was worth more than the incumbrance, a fair 
 mortgage was paid ; if not, it was abandoned to the claims of the 
 mortgagee. During the war little notice was taken of a mort- 
 gage unless the mortgagee got possession, nor of remote interests 
 or remainders, the possessors being looked to as carrying the pro- 
 ceeds of the lands to the side they espoused. But after the war 
 a mortgagee who had not forfeited his right would be recognized 
 by the Commissioners of Forfeitures or other officers who sold 
 out the title of the person attainted, and probably would be en- 
 forced by the courts against a purchaser, though no foreclosure 
 suit was then allowed against the State or its officers." (MSS. 
 C. B. Moore.) 
 
 "Afterwards when the State was interested in land subject to 
 a mortgage the Attorney General was made a party, and being 
 waited upon and paid his costs would appear and answer, and 
 the court would decide whether the mortgage was prior, or for 
 a just debt, and unpaid, etc. 
 
io6 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 "Many instances of foreclosures might be given. One comes 
 to mind : In 1760 a mortgage of Alexander Golden was executed, 
 covering lands in Brooklyn which were forfeited. In 1795 a deed 
 was executed to Treadwell Jackson, by the Sheriff of Kings Co., 
 on the foreclosure of Colden's mortgage and recorded in Kings 
 Co. But receipts for valuable land foreclosures were not neces- 
 sary, nor before the new Statutes of 1830 were they much used. 
 The land was taken possession of by the mortgagee, and he could 
 defend the title as legal owner except against a bill to redeem." 
 C. B. M. 
 
 At the close of the war Mr. Jones came rapidly into practice, 
 and soon required repute as an able real estate lawyer, and was 
 well acquainted with the common law. He came upon the scene 
 in an eventful time. With the close of the war the Legislature 
 directed its attention to the laws of the States. Laws affecting real 
 estate were passed, and estates tail were changed into fee simple, 
 and the law of primogeniture was abolished. 
 
 In 1782 Mr. Jones and Richard Varick were appointed to col- 
 lect and reduce into proper form for re-enactment all such statutes 
 of Gt. Britain as were contained in force under the Constitution 
 of 1777. The whole statute law of England was revised and the 
 bills thus reported were generally adopted by the Legislature. 
 The revision of Jones and Varick became authoritative and "may 
 be regarded as the only comprehensive digest or revision of the 
 laws of N. Y. down to 1800." (Wilson's Hist. N. Y. 2, p. 622.) 
 On 28 April, 1786, Mr. Jones and Saml. Clowes were op- 
 pointed adms. of the est. of David Jones (II. 2), of Fort Neck. 
 
 In 1786 he was elected a Member of Assembly from Queens 
 Co. and held until 1789. 
 
 In 1788 his political opponents treated him as an active sup- 
 porter of Gov. Geo. Clinton, and the Governor's public address 
 was referred to as naming him. (N. Y. Advertiser, Feb. 28, 
 1788.) Many persons who had remained quiet under the British 
 rule and whose estates had not been forfeited now claimed pro- 
 tection of the Americans. This was the first question that divided 
 the State for a long time, and the Hamilton party favored it. The 
 Clinton party strongly upheld for State Rights and opposed the 
 restoration of the Tories, yet though opposed to the Constitution 
 of the U. S. agreed to accept it on condition of future amend- 
 ments. The proposal was made by the Clinton party on the sug- 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 107 
 
 g-estion of Samuel Jones into an expression of "full confidence" 
 that the amendments would be made, and the Constitution was 
 adopted by a majority of three votes. (See Loudon Papers and 
 Life of Genl. Lamb.) 
 
 On 27 May, 1788, at an election in Queens Co. for members 
 of Assembly, he had 408 votes, the highest on the list. 
 
 On 30 May, 1788, at an election in Queens Co. for delegates 
 to the State Convention to determine whether the State should 
 adopt the Constitution of the United States, he received 517 votes, 
 and John Schenck 518. Of the 517 votes received by Saml. Jones, 
 105 came from the town of Oyster Bay. In the Convention he 
 "deferred considerably" to Mr. Clinton, who presided, but he 
 voted in favor of the Constitution. Those who fought so strongly 
 for the amendments now reorganized themselves under the name 
 of Federal Republicans (see Tillinghast Papers, in N. Y. Hist 
 Soc. Coll.), and on Oct. 30, 1788, met at Fraunce's Tavern to fur- 
 ther the adoption of the new constitution. 
 
 In 1789 he was appointed Recorder of the City of N. Y., a 
 judicial office for the city (which had been filled by his cousin, 
 Judge Thomas Jones (III. 3) , and held until 1796, when he was 
 succeeded by James Kent. 
 
 Sept. 4, 1790, he joined with his brothers in releasing claims 
 of rights in the South Beaches and meadows, to the town, reserv- 
 ing small pieces. The struggle for legal rights, based upon a 
 Royal Patent, was against a whole town ; many of the voters 
 wanted hay from the meadows. The Quakers firmly believed in 
 Indian titles in preference to royal, and a large number of voters 
 had no respect for royal prerogatives. We can infer that all this 
 affected voters and injured his popularity, and the intermarriages 
 of his brothers with families interested against him had weak- 
 ened his support, even from them, but it was only local. (MSS. 
 C. B. Moore.) 
 
 In 1791 he was elected State Senator for the Southern District 
 of N. Y. (composed of several counties), and held for six years. 
 A print of most of the Senators was made (See Vol. IV., Doc. 
 Hist. N. Y. S.) including Saml. Jones, which was copied in Wil- 
 son's Memo. Hist. N. Y. III., p. 371. 
 
 In 1796 he was requested by Gov. Jay to draft a law for es- 
 tablishing and regulating the office of Comptroller, to which office 
 he was appointed in 1797. 
 
io8 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 As Comptroller it became his duty to act as State canvasser, 
 and with others report whether Geo. Clinton or John Jay was 
 elected Governor. At the regular day the votes were counted 
 and Clinton declared Governor, but late messengers arrived, claim- 
 ing to have been delayed by storms, bringing returns of more 
 votes from the west, and it appeared that Jay had the greatest 
 number of votes. The canvassers were blamed for not waiting 
 and lost reputation. 
 
 Mr. Jay submitted to defeat. (Wilson's Memo. Hist. N. Y. 
 III., p. 8i). 
 
 In 1800 he retired from the Senate, but did not resume the 
 practice of the law. The death of his mother soon followed, and 
 the old homestead at West Neck was broken up. 
 
 On 18 Apl., 1801, he entered into an agreement with his 
 brother Walter to purchase the homestead. A fine was agreed 
 to he levied (in old English style) in favor of him and his son 
 Thomas, and the heirs of Thomas. The old house was much 
 altered and it finally became his permanent home. 
 
 "His suburban home in 1799 was valued at £2,000." While 
 residing here he devoted himself to farming pursuits, and his 
 cattle mark recorded in Liber A of Highways, Oyster Bay, is as 
 follows : 
 
 "Samuel Jones, son of William of the south, marks all h's 
 creatures with a hole in the near ear and a latch the under side 
 of the ofif ear, entered 5 Dec, 1791. 
 
 "This mark is transferred to David W. Jones, of Cold Spring 
 Harbor." 
 
 He still took much interest in public afifairs, and on 10 May, 
 1806, was called the Federal candidate for State Senator. Queens 
 Co. gave him 436 votes, and Benj. Coe (as Republican) 444. 
 
 In 1807 he was again voted for, receiving in Queens Co. (as 
 a Federalist) 531 votes, while De Witt Clinton (as a Republican) 
 received 710. 
 
 In 1818, July 1st, he made his will, calling himself "counsellor 
 at law, then living at West Neck." Prob. 16 Dec, 1819. To his 
 wife Cornelia he gives £411, which he received from her out 
 of her father's estate, and all money she may have in her name. 
 To his sons Samuel and Elbert H., his law books. His land in 
 N. Y. City he gives to his son Samuel for life, and after to the 
 latter's wife Catharine during widowhood, with remainder to my

 daug-hter Mary Ann Schuyler Jones in-tail-male. To his five 
 sons he gives the remainder of his estate, with legacies to his 
 various grandchildren. (Liber D, folio 251, Queens Co.) 
 
 His widow, Cornelia Jones, survived but a short time, leaving 
 a will. 18 Dec, 1820, prob. 7 Aug., 1821 (Liber E, folio 4, Queens 
 Co.), with legacies to her several grandchildren, and remainder 
 of her estate to her daughter-in-law Keziah, wife of Wm. Jones. 
 Executor, her son David S. Jones. 
 
 Judge Samuel Jones (IIL 8) was distinguished for "great 
 coolness and deliberation in debate," and his ability as a jurist 
 needs no better proof than the words of the late Dr. Hosack 
 and Chancellor Kent. "I rely (says the former) on the testimony 
 of others when I speak of the legal talents of the late Samuel 
 Jones ; common consent has indeed assigned him the highest at- 
 tainment in jurisprudence and the appellation of the 'Father of 
 the New York Bar.' He justly ranked among the most profound 
 and enlightened jurists of this or any other country, and acted 
 a useful and conspicuous part in organizing our courts and the 
 judiciary system after the Revolution." 
 
 "No one (says Chancellor Kent) surpassed him in clearness 
 of intellect and in moderation and extreme simplicity of char- 
 acter ; no one equalled him in his accurate knowledge of the 
 technical rules and doctrines of real property, and in familiarity 
 with the skillful and elaborate but now obsolete and mysterious 
 black letter learning of the common law."

 They were married by Rev. Ebenezer Prime, at Huntington, 
 L. I., 7 Nov., 1764. (See Reeds, of First Church, Huntington,

 about six miles back of Newburg. He was living on his father's 
 farm in 1766 and had his cattle mark registered at that time. 
 
 His wife Mary, under her father's will in 1771, was given the 
 use of lands on the Walkill River, Ulster Co., for life, and £200 
 to build her a house thereon. 
 
 June 20, 1807, he executed a deed to the town of Oyster Bay, 
 releasing his right to the South Beach on L. I., in which he was 
 described as now or late of Shawangunk, Ulster Co. (Liber K, 
 p. 171, Queens Co.) (See under Thos. Jones (I. i) and William

 Among the MSS. papers of Charles H. Jones is a memo, writ- 
 ten by J. J. Thorne (gr. son of this Thomas Jones) stating that 
 "he lived in Orange Co. near the Walkill, owned a farm and mill, 
 and removed from there a little west of Albany."

 On 13 Oct., 1774, he had a deed from Israel Conkling, of 
 Huntington South (a father of his bro.-in-law, Jacob Conkling), 
 for a lot or share in the "Bating Place Purchase of Huntington," 
 which his children (as above named) conveyed to Walter Jones 
 (III. 13), on April 18, 1818. 
 
 On 26 May, 1776, he as a member of the "Oyster Bay Com- 
 mittee" assisted in the capture of seven Royalists who had landed 
 on Fort Neck. They were examined before John Ketcham and 
 Benj. Birdsall the same day. (Rev. Inc. of Long Island, part 2, 
 p, 27.) 
 
 Aug., 1776, he and his father signed the "remonstrance" 
 kgainst driving cattle of the Hempstead Parish into the woods 
 where they could get no water, etc., (Cal. N. Y. Hist. MSS. I., 
 p. 461.), amounting legally to a claim for compensation for the 
 cattle if lost. 
 
 Soon after the battle of Long Island he, by report, removed 
 to Orange Co. 
 
 In March, 1777, at Newburg, he received a permit from Genl.

 McDougal (Congressional) to go to L. I. and obtain leave to 
 remove his sister Freelove, and the family and furniture of his 
 bro.-in-law, Col. Birdsall. (Cal. N. Y. Hist. MSS., Vol. 2, p. 
 55,) It seems she did not then remove. 
 
 By report he joined the American forces (probably with Col. 
 Birdsall) and was disabled in New Jersey. He died before 1804, 
 and his estate was administered upon by his bro.-in-law, Abraham 
 Wood, "at the request of the widow," on 28 Oct., 1804. (Adms. 
 Lib. C, folio 134, Orange Co.) 
 
 Hannah, his widow, survived him, and her brother, Abraham 
 Wood, was appointed adms. of her estate, 7 Sept., 1808. (Liber

 In Aug., 1776, he signed with his father and brother Gilbert 
 the "Remonstrance" before the battle of Long Island, and in 
 October following the "Petition" asking for Royal protection. 
 (See under Wm. Jones (II. 7) He was then just of age and 
 was residing with his father on West Neck at the South Side of 
 
 L. I. 
 
 On 30 Aug., 1779 (just after his father's death) he signed 
 with his brother Walter an agreement with their brothers and 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 113 
 
 sisters (children of William (II. 7)) that one acre of land on 
 West Neck be set aside for a burying ground for all the children 
 of William (11. 7) and their descendants. (See under William 
 
 (11.7))- 
 
 In 1779, remaining on Long Island and marrying, he was en- 
 rolled in a troop of horse (local militia to keep the peace), of 
 which Israel Youngs, a connection of his wife, was captain. 
 
 His father-in-law, John Hewlett, a large landholder at East 
 Woods (now Woodbury), in the town of Oyster Bay, near the 
 Suffolk Co. line, was a justice of the peace, and, having sworn 
 allegiance to the King, and being forty-five years of age, refused 
 to take arms on either side. This was treated by the supporters 
 of Congress as excusable, and he was not harshly dealt with, nor 
 were the Quakers, which some members of the family joined. 
 There were many Quakers in the town located between the Royal- 
 ists on the west, and the supporters of Congress on the east. 
 
 The Hewlett family was numerous ; an early George on L. I. 
 in 1668 had four sons, who all left descendants, including George 
 and the first John, living in 1683, whose son John, b. 1703, m. 
 Hannah, dau. of 2d Col. John Jackson, and was the father of the 
 third John Hewlett, the justice above mentioned. The mother 
 of the justice being a Jackson, he doubtless was befriended by 
 that large family. 
 
 Capt. Richard Hewlett, son of Daniel, who had served in the 
 French war, supported the English government. He became 
 Colonel, Qr. Master, and Commissary, was active on L. I. during 
 the war, and assumed the right to order the local militia or Eng- 
 lish subordinates. He or his captn. gave some orders to this 
 John Jones (TIL 12) which required acts that were unpopular, 
 such as collecting assessments of hay. Some of the hay collected 
 and stacked was burned by the Continentals. Although not ac- 
 cused of any misconduct, the fact of losing the hay may have 
 deprived his troop of reward from the British, who occupied the 
 place in force during the winter. 
 
 The justice of the peace, by order, took charge of collecting 
 the assessment imposed as they would a tax. The Judge George 
 Duncan Ludlow (called a "Superintendent of Police") took 
 charge of them and their local action. The native officers prob- 
 ably acted with more moderation than the foreigners. 
 
 Until 1784 John Jones (III. 12) and his brother Walter re- 
 
114 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 sided at the homestead on West Neck, and carried on the busi- 
 ness together as farmers. John then agreed to sell out his right 
 in the homestead to his brother Walter on April i, 1784, and 
 removed to "The Hill," on the west side of the river at Cold 
 Spring Harbor, where he later built a "house with a deep well/' 
 and resided there during his life. 
 
 The fact of his settling upon the hill at that place gave rise 
 to the appellation of the "Hill Folks," in order to designate in 
 a general way his family from those of his son John H., who 
 settled at the foot of the hill near the head of the harbor. 
 
 On 14 July, 1791, he and his wife received a deed from her 
 father for large pieces of land at Cold Spring Harbor, and one- 
 third of the mills and ponds, and in company with two of her 
 brothers they entered largely into the business of furnishing flour 
 at high prices, then affected by the foreign wars. 
 
 On 30 May, 1794 he, with his brothers-in-law, received a fur- 
 ther confirmatory deed for the mills and mill dams. 
 
 On 6 May, 1799, he and his wife executed a deed to their son 
 William H. (soon after his marriage), of a farm at East Woods 
 (probably derived from her father), expressing as a considera- 
 tion "divers good causes and love, etc., etc." William H. had 
 a house and farm buildings erected there, and resided there dur- 
 ing his life. 
 
 In 1801 he signed with his brother David a claim about the 
 Episcopal Church at Oyster Bay. 
 
 His father-in-law. Justice John Hewlett, lived until 4 April. 
 18 12, and was buried on a hill near his home at East Woods 
 called "Mount Nebo." The justice divided his large landed es- 
 tate among some of his children by deeds in 1791, etc. His daugh- 
 ter Mary married Isaac Youngs ; his eldest son, Townsend, mar- 
 ried a sister of this John Jones. His second son, Isaac Hewlett, 
 married Rhoda Van W>ck, and his son Divine married Ann, dau. 
 of Jac. Coles, of Duck Pond. His dau. Elizabeth married Samuel 
 Jones, son of William. 
 
 It will be noticed how strongly the members of the family 
 were tied together ; living near the boundary line between Queens 
 and Suffolk Co., through a long civil war, the hostilities and 
 jealousies which convulsed the whole country doubtless taught 
 them to adhere firmly to each other and avoid giving offence. 
 (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND iic 
 
 The East Woods extended across L. I., east of the Hempstead 
 Plains and near the county Hne, embracing what is now Wood- 
 bury. 
 
 Several grantees of these deeds may be noticed ; one, his son 
 Isaac Hewlett, had land in Suffolk Co. on the high ground east 
 of the mill ponds at Cold Spring Harbor, on which Isaac lived ; 
 one, his son Divine had land also in Suffolk Co., bounding Isaac's 
 on the north, on which Divine lived ; and another his dau. Han- 
 nah, whom this John Jones had married, had land in Queens Co. 
 on the west side of the mill ponds, near which John and Hannah 
 Jones had fixed their residence. 
 
 The deeds to these parties embraced the mills, mill ponds, mill 
 dams and water rights at Cold Spring Harbor, ^ to each as ten- 
 ants in common. 
 
 On 30th of 3 mo., 1804, this John Jones received from Divine 
 Hewlett and his wife, for his son John H. (IV. 27), then under 
 age. a deed for two small pieces of land on the east side of Cold 
 Spring Harbor (cons. $175), which in 1807 he conveyed to his 
 son John H. Here commenced the large general store and whal- 
 ing business carried on by the latter for many years, and here 
 was his first dwelling house. 
 
 In 1807 he conveyed to his son, John H. Jones, land on the 
 west side of Cold Spring Harbor, which had been conveyed to him 
 by his cousin, David Jones (III. 7) and in i8to conveyed to him 
 a share in the "Lower Mill" property (grist mill, dams, etc.). 
 
 In 1812 the second war with Gt. Britain broke out. a great 
 expense was incurred at a time of high war prices upon a new 
 and large grist mill, and in starting also a woollen factory. Grain 
 was purchased at the mill, ground and barrelled up for sale, and 
 sent to New York. Divine Hewlett and Wm. H. Jones (IV. 25) 
 undertook to keep a store at New York for the sale of flour. The 
 war ended in 181 5 before expensive arrangements could be recom- 
 pensed, and prices fell with flour on hand. Some losses also oc- 
 curred by seizures of shipments by the French ; John Jones and 
 Divine Hewlett had to suspend payments, bargain with their cred- 
 itors for time, and raise money on their lands to settle with their 
 creditors. Mr. Jones' health failed and he soon became disabled. 
 On 21 Aug.. 1814, he made his will giving the use of lii'^ property 
 to his wife for life to bring up and educate his minor children, and 
 
ii6 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 appointed his three eldest sons executors with a large power of 
 sale. (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 Hannah Hewlett, the wife of this John Jones, was a woman of 
 strong personal character and of untiring energy. She inherited 
 that strong religious feeling and love of family so marked in 
 her ancestors, and we are told "her will was a law in the land." 
 Her few letters preserved to us are well and neatly written, and 
 indicate a woman of no small learning for her day. Of these the 
 following strongly marks the woman : 
 
 Cold Spring, 4th day, 5th mo., 1812. 
 Dear Brother and Sister. 
 
 These will inform you that we have experienced great changes in our 
 family since you left the island. On the 22d of the 2d mo. our son John, 
 in returning from New York in a severe gale of wind, was thrown over- 
 board by the jib sheet cleut giving way, he having at that instant the 
 mainsail halliards in his hand, which proved an instrument in the hands 
 of God to save him, to the astonishment of all the beholders. He was 
 much strained in the breast and arms by the vessel carrying him with such 
 velocity, and so far through the water before the hands on board could 
 get him in, but through the mercy of God he is in prospect of recovery. 
 
 On the 4th of the 4th mo., our aged parent departed this life, being 
 but two days confined to his bed; nine days after, our brother John de- 
 parted this life, being confined from the day our father was buried. 
 
 On the first day of this month our little granddaughter, Anne 
 (William's daughter), who lived with us, departed this life after four 
 days' illness. 
 
 Physicians do not agree what disorder prevails, but certain it is there 
 is a great mortality prevailing here, many depart this life from a few hours 
 to one day. There have been several of the family attacked with, we be- 
 lieve, the same complaint. Divine has been slightly, those of brother 
 John's children more severe, brother Townsend, and Isaac Hewlett, 
 . . . but we are in hopes they are all in prospect of recovery, but when 
 the malady will cease or the cause be known, God only knows. The sea- 
 son is very much against health, the snow is now several inches deep, and 
 is still falling. 
 
 We have been much disappointed in not receiving a letter from you 
 since you left the island after having a promise from so many sincere 
 friends, and so near relations. I still flatter mj'self with the pleasing hope 
 of once more reading a letter from some of you, but especially from thee, 
 my dear sister, who is near and dear to me, although at so great a dis- 
 tance from each other; if not, I shall still indulge the pleasing hope 
 through the mercy of that good God, and meritorious suffering of a 
 blessed Saviour Jesus Christ, when time to us shall be no more we shall 
 meet on the happy shores of eternal blessedness, never more to be sep- 
 arated, is the prayer of thy sister, and not only us, but my desire and 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 117 
 
 prayer to God is that thy dear partner and all thy family, as well as my 
 own, with all the heritage of God, may so walk in this world that when 
 time shall be no more, that they may enjoy that happy ... 01 eternal 
 
 rest which God has in store for all those that love him. Tell 
 
 and ... I often think of the pleasing hours we spent when they were 
 here, and hope they will pursue the path of kindness with unimpaired 
 faith, love and charity to their life's end, that they may receive the reward 
 of well doing. Tell them to kiss the dear babe for me. Our particular 
 family, through the mercy of God, are enjoying health at present, thanks 
 be to Him for the same, and all other blessings we enjoy, and my prayer 
 to Him is that you and all yours may enjoy the same blessing. 
 
 My family all join with me in unfeigned love to you and all the family 
 and friends, and remain your sister and well wisher, farewell. 
 
 Hannah Jones.

 This Walter Jones was not of ag^e at the commencement of 
 the Rev. War, and, according with the Quakers, avoided taking 
 arms. It appears he had a good education. 
 
 In 1779 the farm at West Neck, on the south side of L. L 
 being left to him and his brother John, charged with debts and 
 legacies, some to be paid at their father's death, some at their 
 mother's, and younger children to be educated and apprenticed, he 
 
ii8 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 remained on the place and carried on the farm with John until 
 1784. They delayed proving the will until 1781. 
 
 The agreement in 1779 about the burying plot has been de- 
 scribed under John (III. 12), and the sale by John to Walter and 
 John's removal to the north side of L. I. 
 
 The name of his eldest son, after the war ended, indicates that 
 he (Walter Jones) looked to the Jackson family, then powerful 
 under the new government. The 4th John Jackson was at this 
 date the head of that family and had married Charity Treadwell, 
 of a strong family supporting Congress. 
 
 In Nov., 1786, he was appointed first Major of the Queens 
 Co. Regiment, then commanded by Col. Samuel Youngs, with 
 Nathaniel Coles, Jr., as 2d Major. (See Council of Appointment 
 of State of N. Y., by Hastings, Vol. i, p. 74.) 
 
 A letter preserved to us concerning his appointment may be 
 
 of interest: 
 
 Oyster Bay, nth Nov., 1786. 
 Sir. 
 
 Col. Samuel Youngs, who is commissioned on the new establishment 
 of the militia has requested me to inform you that he has received a letter 
 from M. Clerkson, Brig. Genl., enclosing an extract from General Orders, 
 and a list of the officers appointed, in which you are appointed first Major, 
 also the Adjutant General's orders for the regiments or the companies to 
 be paraded this fall, he therefore in concurrence with the other officers 
 appointed this way has concluded to meet all the officers appointed in this 
 regiment on Tuesday next at the house of Daniel Dodges, in Jericho, at 
 one o'clock in the afternoon. Inclosed you have a roll of your officers in 
 the 2d Battn. and he requests you will give them which are on the South 
 speedy notice of the day which they are to meet to accept or refuse their 
 commissions, which acceptance or refusal must absolutely be done in a few 
 days, according to law. 
 
 I am, with respect, 
 
 Your most obedient servant, 
 
 WiL TOWNSEND. 
 
 On 26th March, 1787, he was commissioned by Gov. Clinton as 
 "Salvor or Wrecker," to aid vessels in distress on the coasts of 
 Queens Co. This office was created by an Act of I^egislature 
 passed Feb. 16, 1787. He was the first to be appointed under 
 this act, and was to hold office "during pleasure." (See Comms., 
 Vol. 6-D, 1770-1789, folio 407, Secy, of State office.) Under this

 son within a year who could prove ownership might have his 
 goods restored to him on his paying the expenses of saving, etc. 
 His pay was a "reasonable allowance out of the goods so saved.'' 
 (Laws of N. Y., Vol. i.) 
 
 On 9 Aug., 1786, there was a release executed to him by Jacob 
 Conkling (his brother-in-law) of rights in the "Bating Place Pui- 
 chase" of the town of Huntington, near modern Amityville. 
 
 He became the active representative of his father and mother 
 and the scattered family. On 30 of 7 mo., 1788, John and Walter, 
 with their wives Hannah and Esther, conveyed to their brother 
 William meadow land at Oyster Bay South, cons. £210. On 30 
 Aug., 1790, receiving a deed from John, he conveyed the home- 
 stead to his brother Samuel (the Judge and Senator) who at that 
 time was a strong and important man, and who rebuilt the old 
 house. Walter remained still in charge. On 4 Sept., 1790, he 
 united with his brothers in releasing to the town, the large claim 
 to the South Beach and Meadows, reserving some by agreement. 
 (Liber 69, p. 329, Queens Co.) He signed as attorney for Gilbert 
 (HL 11), and it is stated he acted for and with Samuel (HL8) 
 and was in fair accord with him. 
 
 On 16 Apl., 1801, he signed a formal covenant with his brother 
 Samuel, and the latter's son Thomas, for levying and acknow^ledg- 
 ing a Fine and Recovery for the West Neck homestead and land 
 (to give Samuel a formal title and bar all entails and limitations). 
 A Fine was levied. He still agreed to remain on the farm, and to 
 board the carpenters while repairing the house. 
 
 On 28 May, 1802, he received a further release of land from 
 Jacob Conkling and Elizabeth, his wife, for land in the Bating 
 Place Purchase. 
 
 Shortly after this date he removed to the north side of L. L 
 and settled on land he bought of Garret Van Cott, Mch. 12, 1802. 
 This land was situated next west of his brother John, and was 
 separated from it by the highway leading from Cold Spring Har- 
 bor to Syosset, then called Ireland's Path, and contained 120 acres. 
 After their removal the family resided in a very old house then 
 standing on the westerly side of Ireland's Path, and directlv in 
 front of the residence now ( 1900) owned bv Mrs. Oliver L. Jones. 
 This old house, of which only the foundation stones (and an old 
 well still used) now remain, was by report built by John Wooden 
 (or Worden) who owned land there as early as 1736. 
 
120 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 In May, 1806, he received a deed from his brother David and 
 his wife EHzabeth for 43 acres of land joining this purchase (of 
 12 March, 1802) on the south. 
 
 These two pieces of land, with several smaller pieces purchased 
 later, comprised his homestead of 180 acres, on which he erected 
 a new house, the cornerstone of which bears the mark W. J. 
 18 10. Later he erected two stone walls marked with the dates 
 1819 and 1822, forming, with his barns, an enclosure for his cattle. 
 
 One of these barns, of which no vestige remains, contained a 
 curious and crude machine used for threshing grain, and must 
 have been made at a very early period. It consisted of a circular 
 depression in the earth lined with stones set in mortar, with a 
 post erected in its centre, around which a large stone drawn bv 
 horses moved freely. Tradition tells us it was sometimes used as 
 a cider mill and was probably made or used by John Wooden be- 
 fore mentioned. 
 
 On 7 Feb., 1820, he and his 2d wife, Phebe, united in a con- 
 veyance of his real estate to his son, John Jackson Jones, who had 
 advanced money to build and improve the place, and who, in 1822, 
 conveyed the same to his four sisters. 
 
 On 25 Jan., 1850, Sarah and Mary Jones, two of the four sis- 
 ters just named, who had become possessed of the entire real es- 
 tate of their father, Walter Jones, conveyed the same to Samuel 
 A. Jones (V. 81), who had married a granddaughter of this 
 Walter Jones (III. 13). 
 
 Walter Jones preserved many old memoranda about the 
 family, and it is to him we are indebted for many facts concerning 
 it. He took much interest in public affairs, and was instrumental 
 in having a public highway laid out across the island, following 
 generally an old route called Ireland's Path, which on the north 
 side of the island ran between his house and his brother John's, 
 passing through Syosset and east of Hicksville. On the south 
 side of the island it passed near his father's house, terminating at 
 the highway running east and west across the various necks of 
 meadow land on that part of the island. 
 
 Milestones were set up on this road throughout its entire ex- 
 tent. One of these, still standing, is on the westerly side of the 
 highway a short distance south of his old homestead, and near 
 the southeast corner of the land he purchased of David Jones in 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 121 
 
 1806. It is marked W. J. XIII., and indicates that number of 
 miles from the south side of the island. 
 
 His will, dated 28 April, 1828, was proved on 9 June following 
 He bequeathed to his wife Phebe everything that belonged to her 
 at the time of "our marriage." To Mary Esther Mott, daughter 
 of James and Abigail Mott, a set of silver plate of the value of 
 $150. To his daughters, Mary, Phebe, Sarah, and Abigail, all his 
 furniture and cattle and implements of husbandry. To William 
 H. Jones and John H. Jones (his brother John's children) a piece 
 of Plains Lands near the island of Trees, bequeathed him by his 
 father William. To his son Townsend, a piece of salt meadow 
 called the "Bating Place Purchase," being all the land I own in 
 Suffolk Co. Residue of his real estate to his daughters Mary ai:d 
 Sarah Jones, and wife Phebe. To his wife Phebe his Bank of 
 America stock. His son, Wm, Townsend Jones, and David W. 
 Jones, executors. 
 
 All of his homestead at Cold Spring Harbor (excepting per- 
 haps the piece he bought of his brother David in 1806) and much 
 of the adjoining land, all of which is still in possession of the 
 Jones family, was between the years 1716 and 1740 owned by Maj 
 Timothy Bagley, who married the widow of Maj. Thomas Jones 
 (I. i), much of which (as we have formerly stated) possibly be- 
 longed to the latter at an earlier date. 
 
 The original map embracing this land of Maj. Timothy Bag- 
 ley is now (1895) ^n the possession of John H. Doty, of Cold 
 Spring Harbor. 
 
 The highway or "Ireland's Path," as indicated by dotted lines, 
 is not in the original map, but has been added by me to shov/ 
 approximately the location of the land with reference to the pres- 
 ent time. 
 
 Esther, his first wife, was interred in the West Neck burying 
 ground at South Oyster Bay, and Phebe, his 2d wife, in the Epis- 
 copal Church Yard at Manhasset, L. I.

 shore) and by firing a gun drew a company of militia to the 
 spot who captured the crew. (Onderdonk's Queens Co., p. 203.)

 He studied medicine but did not follow the profession. In 1785 
 he was living in Newburg but soon returned to L. I. and lived on 
 his place at Cold Spring Harbor, on the easterly side of what is 
 known as "Turkey Lane."

 Lieut. Col. Benj. Birdsall was of an old Queens Co. family, 
 and of a branch that intermarried with the Seamans and Jacksons 
 of the north side of L. I. He was called a "drover farmer," 
 one who raised cattle on the Hempstead Plains, and fed them in 
 winter on the wild meadow grass. He lived on the south side 
 of L. I. a short distance west of his father-in-law, Wm. Jones, 
 He took an active part in the Rev. War. His colonel was John 
 Sands, an active supporter of Congress. In 1777- 1783 was Mem- 
 ber of Assembly. In 1776 he mustered 60 volunteers and aided 
 Gen. Putnam in erecting intrenchments on Brooklyn Heights. He 
 was captured by the British and imprisoned in the "Provost," at 
 which time Genl. Washington had his wife and children conveyed 
 to Dover, in Dutchess Co., where they remained during the war 
 In 1794 he disposed of his property and settled in Jerusalem, 
 where he died. (MSS. C. B. Moore.)

 Cornelia (doubtful). 
 
 He practiced law and during his father's lifetime was known 
 as Saml. Jones, Jr. He resided in N. Y. City, and from 1809 
 to 1817 was Alderman. 
 
 In was Corporation Counsel. 
 
 He prepared the draft of the long statute relating to the City 
 of N. Y. contained in the Revised Laws of 18 13. 
 
 In 181 1 he was one of the original members of the Committee 
 of Defense, appointed by the Common Council, which consisted 
 of four Aldermen and three Assistant Aldermen. (Wilson's 
 Memo. Hist. N. Y. 3, p. 239.) 
 
 He was the last surviving member of the "Drone," a literary 
 society founded in 1792. (See Francis "Old New York"), and 
 also a member of the Kent Club. 
 
 His mother's family (Herring) brought him into familiarity 
 with the real estate of the city. The Kip family employed him 
 in the partition and conveyancing of a farm on Kip's Bay. Be- 
 fore the regular streets were laid out by law, the owners had 
 laid out roads and lots, which were intersected and injured by 
 the new streets. A great deal of conveyancing and law was the 
 result, in which he had a large share. 
 
 In 1812-1814 he was a Member of Assembly from N. Y. City, 
 sitting during the principal part of the period of the 2d war with 
 Great Britain, and generally sustaining De Witt Clinton and the 
 war. 
 
 In 1812 his brother William became a member, and in 1813 
 to 181 5 his brother Elbert H. was in the Senate. 
 
 His wife's father was only a few years his elder, born in 1768 
 Mr. Schuyler married first Sarah Rutsen, connected with the De 
 Witts, and 2d Phebe Carman, probably from the L. I. family. 
 He was a son of Genl. Phil. Schuyler, and he became a member 
 of Congress from Dutchess Co. in 1817-1818. These items may 
 be sufficient to indicate the political position and standing of Mr. 
 Jones. 
 
 As a lawyer he had a general practice, and was counsel for 
 several insurance companies (most of which were crippled by 
 the war), and particularly for the United States Ins. Co., after his 
 cousin, Walter R. Jones (IV. 30), was connected with it. This 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 127 
 
 compelled him to study maritime law, and many cases argued by 
 him are scattered through the books. (See Johns Report 15, 523; 
 14, 22'j; 16, 128; 17, 23, etc.) His mother dying in 1821, he with 
 his brothers became interested in the Herring farm, above Canal 
 St., N. Y. City. 
 
 In 1823-4, he was Recorder of N. Y. City, following the career 
 of Judge Thos. Jones (HI. 3), and of his father. Judge Samuel 
 Jones (HI. 8). 
 
 On 24 June, 1825, he was nominated by Gov. De Witt Clinton, 
 and confirmed by the Senate, as Chancellor of the State of N. Y. 
 (the highest law office in the State) in the place of Nathan San- 
 ford chosen as U. S. Senator, who had presided over the con- 
 stitution that framed the new constitution of 182 1. Both were 
 from L. I., and on no other occasion had the island filled such 
 high places, both at once. 
 
 The appointment of Mr. Jones was treated by many as ema- 
 nating especially from the personal estimate of him by De Witt 
 Clinton, who was sure of his knowledge, fairness, and industry, 
 and no one denied his general competence. He was recognized as 
 "very learned in the law." 
 
 He had counselled patiently and examined the cases argued 
 before him with great thoroughness. After writing an opinion 
 he would hear a further argument, if an error was strongly urged, 
 and be very ready to correct an error if he discovered one. His 
 written opinions reviewed the disputed questions of law and fact 
 in various aspects, answering objections, and perhaps with too 
 great minuteness. As Chancellor Mr. Jones was a member of 
 the Court for the correction of Errors to decide upon writs of 
 error returned from the Supreme Court. He was near sixty 
 years of age, the new limit appointed by the new constitution in 
 hostility to his friends Kent and Spencer. He must have found 
 the office laborious and more than any man could master. His 
 patron, De Witt Clinton, who had been elected Governor in op- 
 position to the party of the new constitution, died on 11 Feb.. 
 1828. The Lieut. Gov. was not unfriendly, and Mr. Jones re- 
 signed the office of Chancellor in April, 1828, sitting three years, 
 and took the office of Chief Justice of the Superior Court in the 
 City of N. Y., a new court of common law, called local and in- 
 ferior, to which the limited term of sixty years of age was held 
 
128 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 not to apply, and he was succeeded in the office of Chancellor 
 by Judge Walworth. 
 
 Mr. Jones filled the office of Chief Justice of the Superior 
 Court from the first organization in 1828 until by the new third 
 constitution of 1846 judges were made elective, and the limited 
 term of sixty years of age was changed. In 1848 he was elected 
 Judge of the Supreme Court of the City of N. Y. for the short 
 term, and held only for two years. He was then nearly seventy- 
 seven years of age. 
 
 About 1833 he entered into an arrangement with Jas. Lorimer 
 Graham (then an active lawyer) for Mr. Graham to attend to 
 all the work (and have about one-quarter), while the judgment 
 of both would be consulted in purchasing city lots, relying upon 
 the growth of the city for a rise of prices. They bought largely, 
 and gave many mortgages, but the political warfare about cur- 
 rency and fall of prices overtook them and they fell, mortgages 
 were foreclosed, property lost, and no profits realized, and he 
 met with disaster. He bore all courageously, he abandoned house 
 and home and lived at boarding houses. He lost his library, but 
 was permitted to use it, and, laboring until the last, went to his 
 brother William's in the country to bear his illness. He lamented 
 for his family, and was anxious at the very last to have a long 
 report engrossed on opening a street in time to have his signature 
 to it, so that the pay for it might be fully earned and his son 
 might secure it. But all in vain. After all we are obliged to 
 lament that his long life so worthily spent had so poor an appre- 
 ciation of it by those he benefited. 
 
 He attended the Church of the Annunciation in N. Y. City 
 (Rev. Dr. Seabury) and became one of its wardens. He had 
 decided religious opinions, but made little show of them. His 
 family seemed to have acquired a strong religious disposition, but 
 not in the line he favored or desired to lead them. (MSS. C. B. 
 Moore.) 
 
 At his death in 1853 a meeting of the New York Bar was held 
 (Hon. Judge Duer presiding), and resolutions were passed eulo- 
 gistic of his high public and private character. Quoting from 
 one of these resolutions, "his profound learning, his astute dis- 
 cernment, and great powers of endurance, his close reasoning, 
 and skilful logic, placed him in the first rank of that Bar of which 
 his honored parent was called 'the father.' He brought to the 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 125 
 
 Bench a vast professional experience, great learning, sound judg- 
 ment, spotless integrity, and a pure love of justice. Before a 
 Bench which reflected high honor upon our State, our late ven- 
 erable brother maintained his high standing until 1826, when Gov. 
 Clinton appointed him Chancellor of the State of N. Y. He per- 
 formed the duties of this office with great dignity and firmness 
 until 1828, when he was appointed Chief Justice of the Superior 
 Court of N. Y. City. The duties of this important office at the 
 head of the Court which had been more occupied with important 
 questions of commercial law than any other tribunal in our coun- 
 try, were discharged with unbending integrity, unsullied purity, 
 and gentlemanly courtesy for a period of twenty years."

 He was educated at the Academy in Oyster Bay, of which he 
 later, in 1802, became one of its trustees. He was baptized in 
 the New Dutch Church, N. Y. City, Elbert and Elizabeth Haring 
 being his sponsors (his maternal grandparents) ; at an early age 
 he was sent to live with Townsend Hewlett and his wife Martha, 
 at Buckram, L. I. 
 
 He was married by Rev. Andrew Fowler, of the Episcopal 
 Church, at Oyster Bay, and settled at South Oyster Bay, residing 
 there imtil 1793. when they removed to Cold Spring Harlx)r, 
 where, in 1806, he built a large house on the westerly side of the 
 Harbor at the foot of a beach called "Major Jones' Beach." 
 
 In 1796, before his removal to Cold Spring Harbor, he was 
 
I30 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 appointed Captn. of a troop of horse formed from the Queens 
 Co. Regt. commanded by Lieut. Col. Nathaniel Coles (see Council 
 of Appointment, Vol. i, p. 326), and in 1807 (after his removal) 
 he was appointed Major of a company of cavalry (Council of 
 Appointment, Vol. i, p. 937). In 1814, the cavalry being trans- 
 formed into horse artillery, he was appointed as Lieut. Col. of 2d 
 Regt. of Horse of Queens Co. (Council of Appointment, Vol. 
 2, p. 1491.) 
 
 In 18 1 5 he was elected to the Assembly by 1,057 votes as a 
 Federalist, the Republican vote being about 750, and from 1816 
 to 1825 he was regularly re-elected (except in 1818, 1820 and 
 1822). In 1817 the previous members, Carman, Jones and Kis- 
 sam, were elected without opposition. In that year an Agricultural 
 Society was formed for Queens Co., which he favored, assisting 
 on the Committee of Arrangements, 
 
 In 1818 two of the old members of Assembly, Kissam and 
 Carman, were elected from the other towns, and John A. King 
 (son of Rufus, the U. S. Senator) was chosen from Jamaica as 
 a new member. There were five towns in the county, and this 
 probably was an alternation claimed by that town. In 1819 Wm. 
 Jones, from Oyster Bay ; John A. King, from Jamaica, and Thos. 
 Tredwell, from Hempstead, were elected by 752 votes over 483. 
 
 In 1819 Mr. Jones was Vice Pres. of the Agricultural Society. 
 In 1820 Kissam, Jones and Tredwell were defeated by John A. 
 King, and others ; King, 972 and Jones, 866 votes. In 1821, Jones, 
 Tredwell and Nostrand were elected; Jones, 1,378, and King, 
 1,018; a large vote, indicating a sharp contest. 
 
 In 1822 (under the new constitution, two members for the 
 county) there was much disaffection, and he was defeated ; Jones, 
 653 votes; for others 715 and 703. 
 
 In 1823 he was elected with Tredwell by 669 and 616 votes, 
 others having only 499 and 446. 
 
 In 1824 he was elected by a larger vote, viz., 923 and 985, 
 over 708 and 649. 
 
 In 1825 he was again elected with the same associate by 965 
 and 895 votes over 767 and 723. 
 
 He was not again a candidate ; the brother of his son-in-law, 
 viz., Henry Floyd- Jones (5), became the representative of the 
 family from the town of Oyster Bay. 
 
 "He was noted for his fondness for thoroughbred horses, with 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 131 
 
 which his stables were well filled, which brought him in close as- 
 sociation with turfmen of high and honorable repute." (Gen. of 
 Youngs family.) His house was known as "an open house, 
 where always was to be had good brandy and Holland Gin," and 
 from his great love for horses it was commonly said of him "that 
 next to his family he loved his horse." Directly in front of his 
 house was the long, sandy beach that divides Cold Spring Harbor 
 into two bodies of water. This beach, called Maj. Jones' Beach, 
 is about half a mile in length, and was used by him as a training 
 ground for his horses. 
 
 His daughter Eleanor (who married William Sidney Smith) 
 in her "Golden Wedding Mementos" of herself and husband, 
 writes of him thus: "While a member of the State Legislature, 
 Mr. Jones exhibited those marked traits of character for which 
 he was so eminently distinguished and which rendered him one of 
 the most popular and useful members of that body." 
 
 His wife Keziah was a woman of strong religious principles, 
 and inherited all of the estimable qualities of her mother and 
 grandmother, the latter of whom was Hannah, dau. of Peter Un- 
 derbill. 
 
 Throughout her whole life she was devoted to the Church, and 
 a mural tablet was erected to her memory in St. John's Prot. Epis. 
 Church at Cold Spring Harbor, with the following inscription: 
 
 Sacred to the memory of Keziah, wife of 
 William Jones, a devoted communicant, 
 and constant worshipper in this church. 
 Born Feb. 12, 1773; died May i, 1847. In 
 grateful remembrance of their mother 
 this tablet is erected by her children. 
 
 "Her strong religious principles and personal traits are 
 strongly marked in her four daughters and their descendants, all 
 of whom are Church members and, with few exceptions, com- 
 municants. Of her daughters all were eminently qualified by 
 inherent virtues and early training for wives and mothers ; all of 
 them attained this state." ("Gen. of Youngs Family," by D. K, 
 Youngs.)

 Judge David S. Jones was a graduate of Columbia College, 
 class of 1796. Soon after leaving he was appointed by Gov. Jay 
 as his private secretary, which position he held for three years. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 135 
 
 He then returned to New York and was soon admitted to the Bar. 
 From 1813 to 1816 he was Corporation Counsel of the City of 
 New York ; 1833 to 1848, trustee of Columbia College ; 1840 to 
 1843, County Judge of Queens Co., L. I. 
 
 In the quasi war with France he was First Lieut, in a vol- 
 unteer Co., commanded by Peter A. Jay. (MSS. William Alfred 
 Jones, his son.) 
 
 Mr. Jones was a churchman and was at the time of his death 
 senior warden of St. Saviour's Church, Maspeth, L. I., which 
 church he greatly aided in organizing. 
 
 From 1 82 1 to 1829 he was Lay Delegate from St. Mark's 
 Church, N. Y. City, and in 1822 trustee of the General Theologi- 
 cal Seminary. 
 
 In 1836 he relinquished his practice in N. Y. and retired to 
 his place at Massapequa, South Oyster Bay, L. I., where he 
 erected a handsome residence, but owing to financial troubles was 
 forced to give up his property and return to the Bar. 
 
 The last five years of his life were spent at his residence at 
 Maspeth, L. I. (the former country seat of De Witt Clinton). His 
 remains were interred in St. Mark's Church Yard Vault, at that 
 place. 
 
 Chief Justice Duer speaking of him said, "He had few su- 
 periors in our profession," and further adds, "as one of the oldest 
 of his friends, no one had a deeper sense of thjs responsibility 
 which the relation of lawyer and client creates — none more faith- 
 ful in discharging the duties which the relation imposes."

 Mr. Jones became a lar^e land owner, some of which prob- 
 ably included the homestead of his father, whereon he resided, a 
 little south of the village of Syosset. 
 
 He left a remarkable will (Liber i, p. 213, Queens Co.) cre- 
 ating the "Jones Fund," for the support of the poor in the towns 
 of Oyster Bay and North Hempstead, for which purpose he be- 
 queathed the sum of $30,000, to be put in charge of five trustees, 
 who were to be appointed by the Legislature and to be known as 
 the "Trustees of the Jones Fund," the income of which sum he 
 directed to be used for the support of the said poor, who were to 
 be kept in some suitable place where they may be engaged in 
 some manual employment. Other small legacies were given to 
 friends. To his wife he gave $175 yearly during widowhood, and 
 in case of her remarriage she was to receive only $50 yearly for 
 life. The probate of his will in 1836 was objected to by his 
 widow, on the ground that he was not of sound mind, but proof 
 was allowed by the Surrogate. 
 
 In pursuance of this bequest the Legislature in 1838 passed an 
 act naming three of the inhabitants of the town of Oyster Bay, and 
 two of the town of North Hempstead as such trustees, to hold for 
 two years, whose successors were to be chosen by the inhabitants 
 of said towns at their annual meetings. This "Fund" was later 
 augmented by a bequest from Walter R. Jones of $5,000.

 He was named for his grandfather, John Hewlett, and when a 
 boy went to live with him in his old age and assist in taking care 
 of him, but returned to Cold Spring Harbor before the death of 
 the aged man. 
 
 In 1804 Mr. Jones' father-in-law, Judge Divine Hewlett, con- 
 veyed to Mr. Jones' father two small pieces of land just north 
 of the grist mill on Cold Spring Harbor, and on the west side of 
 the highway on which were afterwards built the first dwelling 
 house and store of John H. Jones. 
 
142 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 On June lo, 1807, Mr. Jones received from his father a deed 
 for these two pieces of land, including also land on the west side 
 of Cold Spring Harbor which his father had received from David 
 Jones (III. 7). The store became the place of his first business 
 enterprise and the centre of a widespread business, embracing a 
 large whaling industry and grist and woolen mills. The grist mill 
 first mentioned was built in 1809. He enlarged and improved the 
 house on the west side of the Harbor (which had been built by 
 his uncle, David Jones (HI. 7)), and removing there made it his 
 home for the rest of his life, building around it at different dates 
 houses, factories and shops, and improving the place, which was 
 much dilapidated. 
 
 The title to that portion of the David Jones (HI. 7) purchase 
 (about ten acres), on which stood the old house of John H. Jones, 
 is interesting. On 2d July, 18 10, he received from his father and 
 mother a deed for one-half of the Lower Mills, north of the Lower 
 Mill Dam, with the canal down to the Harbor, and the grist mill 
 and its site, and one-half of the Cooper's Shop, land, shore and 
 Harbor as conveyed in 1791 and 1794 to his father, and to Isaac 
 and Divine Hewlett, in equal thirds. (Liber D, p. 316, Suffolk 
 Co., May, 1814.) (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 On 20 Oct., 1819, a deed was executed by Wm. M. Hewlett 
 to John H. Jones and Walter R. Jones (his brother) to give them 
 color of title, for the site of the Lower Factory building just west 
 of the house of John H. Jones, extending westerly one hundred 
 and eighty feet on the highway (one-quarter to Walter R. Jones) ; 
 this, it is understood, was before the death of their father. (MSS. 
 C. B. Moore.) 
 
 In 1820 he and his brother, Walter R., having erected build- 
 ings and obtained machinery, commenced the prosecution of the 
 Woolen Factory. Their advertisement may be deemed of inter- 
 est, viz. : 
 
 Cold Spring Harbor Woolen Factory. 
 
 Wool will be received and manufactured into Broadcloth, Ker- 
 seymeres, Satinets, Flannels, Blankets and Carpetings. Cloth will be 
 given in exchange for wool. Fulling, dressing and coloring cloth at any 
 season of the year. Extra machines having been put into operation for 
 the purpose of carding only, it can be done with dispatch, and in the best 
 manner. Persons in haste by taking their wool to the factory can have it 
 carded immediately. Wool for manufacturing and carding, and cloth for 
 dressing will be received and forwarded by Jacob Smith at the turnpike

 John H. and Walter R. Jones. 
 Cold Spring, 29 May, 1820. 
 
 In Oct., 1 82 1, they exhibited their manufactures at a fair held 
 in N. Y. City, and were awarded premiums for cassimeres, cloths, 
 and blankets, and in 1823 for flannels and blankets. 
 
 The woolen mills were kept running until the death of Walter 
 R. Jones in 1855, but business dwindled until in later years the 
 coarse flannels and thick cloth (which were used by the whale 
 men of that place) became the principal productions. 
 
 In 1823 Isaac Hewlett and wife conveyed to John H. Jones 
 one-sixth of four pieces of land, comprising the Upper Factory, 
 with machinery and fixtures in the mill, and Woolen Factory (3^ 
 was conveyed by Mr. Hewlett to Walter R. Jones, and yi to 
 Wm. H. Jones). In 1825, Jan. 12, Wm. H. Jones conveyed to 
 John H. Jones Ye of the four pieces comprising the Upper Factory 
 property, and John H. conveyed to Walter R. Jones 1-12 of the 
 Lower Factory property. 
 
 On 1827, Mch. 10, Mr. Jones and his brother Walter R. applied 
 to the Legislature to incorporate the Cold Spring Steam Boat 
 Company. They had to buy or hire land and build a dock in the 
 lower Harbor. The steamboat American Eagle (Capt. Peck), 
 made daily trips from there to New York. 
 
 In July, 1827, he was secretary of a meeting held at the Court 
 House of "Friends of the American System," so-called, favoring 
 a protective tariff, and was appointed delegate to a State Con- 
 vention held in Albany. The tariff failing to protect manufact- 
 urers he turned his attention to the whaling business (an incor- 
 porated Co.), of which he was the managing agent. This for 
 a while was a profitable business, but a scarcity of whales, the 
 loss of several ships and the outbreak of the Civil War caused 
 a dissolution of the company. 
 
 Mr. Jones was always a leading spirit in his native place, and 
 during the last years of his life was actively engaged in building 
 an extension of the Long Island Railroad from Hicksville to 
 Syosset. 
 
 Regarding this Mr. C. B. Moore tells us: "The L. I. R. R. Co. 
 (incorporated in 1832) consumed its stock and all the money it 
 
144 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 could borrow in getting as far as Hicksville, and then, turning, 
 took a route through the middle of the island via Farmingdale 
 to Greenport. 
 
 "It forfeited stock not paid for, and gave its bonds to contract- 
 ors in such a way that its apparent cost to stockholders was over 
 $50,000 a mile from Jamaica to Hicksville, and over $30,000 a 
 mile from Hicksville to Greenport. It needed branches, and had 
 power to build them, but had neither money nor credit sufficient. 
 It was deemed important to show that the cost in money need not 
 be so great, and also desirable to approach Cold Spring much 
 nearer with the road. So he (Mr. Jones) and his sons and his 
 brother Walter, and some friends, obtaining a charter of the 
 Hicksville and Cold Spring Branch R. R. Co., chose him its pres- 
 ident and built a branch from Hicksville to Syosset (four miles) 
 at a cost of less than $11,000 a mile, under an agreement with 
 the L. I. R. R. Co. to run their cars on the road and to pay seven 
 per cent, interest on the cost, and the taxes imposed on the road, 
 being allowed to superintend the building and permitted to pur- 
 chase the road at cost when they choose. 
 
 "It was successful and much increased the number of passen- 
 gers. It was used about ten years, when the L. I. R. R. Co. 
 wanted it built further east, and Mr. Jones had his hopes strongly 
 enlisted. The work of extension was commenced under his su- 
 perintendence, but he died and war prices occurred, and about 
 1863, after his death, the L. I. R. R. Co. professed to elect to 
 purchase and pay the cost in greenbacks (then worth much less 
 than the money by which the branch road had been built) ; when 
 this was ready to be accepted and deed executed the L. I. R. R- 
 Co. made objections and tried to keep the road without paying 
 either the purchase money or the rent for its use. Oliver Charlick 
 was then the Co.'s president, but after a sharp litigation (Horace 
 F. Clark assisting Charlick) this plan failed, and its officers paid 
 principal and interest and costs, and, building a continuance of the 
 branch road less convenient for Cold Spring, borrowing funds by 
 bonds payable ahead when money would be more valuable, it suc- 
 ceeded in making a much more costly road and in crowding aside 
 from public view the injustice committed." (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 Mr. Jones' early education was derived in the public schools 
 near his home, and was eminently a self-made man. He was a 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 145 
 
 churchman and warden of St. John's Epis. Church at Cold Spring 
 Harbor from its organization in 1835 until his death in 1859. 
 
 He made his will Aug. 15, 1851, and on 31 Oct., 1857, he 
 added a codicil. His will was in favor of his children. Prob.

 (IV. 28) SARAH H. JONES, dau. of John (HI. 12) ; b. 22 
 July, 1787; d. July 26, 1871. She did not marry, and lived at 
 home. As her parents grew infirm (and her brothers had left 
 home) she became the active head of the family. She was a 
 woman of great mental activity and was familiarly known as 
 "Lawyer Sarah." In 185 1 her brother Walter R. made her one 
 of his executors. She left a long and curious will, generally in 
 favor of her younger brother Charles H., and her sister Phebe, 
 who had lived at home with her. (Prob. Nov. 3, 1871, Queens 
 Co.)

 when young went to live with her cousin, Samuel Jones (IV. 10), 
 and remained there until his death. She had some legacies by 
 his will. Her religious calling was that of the Friends. Will

 (IV. 30) WALTER RESTORED JONES, son of John 
 (III. 12); b. April 15, 1793; d. April 7, 1855. Mr. Jones never 
 married ; his middle name of "Restored" was added to his original 
 Christian name at the request of his mother. His eldest brother 
 Walter having been killed in an accident, it was her wish to pre- 
 serve the name, hence the epithet "Restored." 
 
 When only eleven years old his elder brother, Wm. H. Jones, 
 employed him in his flour business in N. Y. City. While here he 
 devoted all his spare time to school and studies. The embargo of 
 1807 destroyed the business, and his gr. father, John Hewlett, sent 
 him to Fresh Meadows, where he stayed for a short time. He 
 later became associated with his brother, John H., in the general 
 store business at Cold Spring Harbor, and in 1820 in the man- 
 agement of the woolen factory (see advt. under John H. (IV. 
 27)). He kept an interest in the latter during his life, and in 
 several of the enterprises conducted by John H. Jones (IV. 27).

146 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 In 1809 he returned to New York and became a clerk in the 
 United States Insurance Co., favored by his cousin, John Jackson 
 Jones (IV. 35), which situation he held until the losses by the 
 French decrees against commerce and the subsequent war with 
 England injured the marine insurance business. This company 
 was one of the first if not the first marine insurance company in 
 this country, and in it Mr. Jones laid the foundation for his later 
 high standing in marine insurance. 
 
 In 1816 he was appointed Secy, of the Co., but its diminished 
 capital induced the directors to close the business. In 1817 a 
 new company was formed called the Pacific Ins. Co., of which 
 Mr. Sands was Vice Prest. and John Jackson Jones Secy. 
 
 Mr. Jones became a clerk in that company, and later they 
 being promoted he became secretary, which office he held until 
 1824. During that year he became connected with the Niagara 
 Ins. Co. (then incorporated) and soon with the first Atlantic In- 
 surance Co. (chartered in 1824) as Vice Prest., of which Arch- 
 ibald Gracie was Prest., holding until 1828, when its capital was 
 divided and paid off and a new company was chartered. 
 
 From 1829 to 1842 Mr. Jones was Vice Prest. of the second 
 Atlantic Insurance Co., with Josiah L. Hale as Prest. Mr. Hale 
 had procured a majority of the stock to be subscribed in Boston 
 on account of the difficulty of obtaining subscriptions in New 
 York in consequence of the large losses of marine insurance com- 
 panies ; the new company was a very successful one. It did a 
 large business on a small capital, and its dividends of profits were 
 large. Its most successful competitors were mutual companies. 
 The great fire of 1835 demonstrated that it needed a larger capi- 
 tal for safety. 
 
 On nth April, 1842, a charter was obtained from the Legis- 
 lature for a mutual Co., and in May following the Atlantic Mutual 
 Insurance Co. was organized and it was resolved to transfer the 
 business to that company, of which Walter R. Jones was elected 
 Prest. and Mr. Hale, Vice Prest., and in 1843 John D. Jones (V. 
 79) became Secretary. 
 
 In 1849 Mr. Hale retiring, John D. Jones was elected Vice 
 Prest. This company became one of the largest insurance com- 
 panies in the world, and Walter R. Jones remained at its head 
 until his death in 1858. The great success which had attended the 
 company's work on the mutual plan was largely attained by the 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 147 
 
 judicious management of its president. It may be stated here 
 that from 1844 to 1854 an actual dividend of 35% had been de- 
 clared annually by this company. 
 
 Mr. Jones was one of the incorporators of the "Life Saving 
 Benevolent Association of N. Y.," incorporated under an Act of 
 Legislature passed March 26, 1849, ^^^ it is principally owing to 
 his labor and zeal that this institution was formulated. He 
 was chosen its first Prest. and John D. Jones its Secy. 
 
 At the time of his death he also held the following offices : 
 Prest. of Board of Directors of the American Exchange Bank, 
 which office he held for ten years; director of the Leather Manu- 
 facturers' Bank ; director of the Screw Dock Company ; member 
 of the Chamber of Commerce ; director of the N. Y. Life and Fire 
 Insurance Co. ; president of the Board of Underwriters. 
 
 In 1850 he received a deed for six acres of land near the old 
 homestead of his father, on which he commenced the erection 
 of a large mansion house that was barely completed when his 
 death occurred. The mansion later became the residence of 
 Charles H. Jones (IV. 34). 
 
 On 22 Nov.. 1853, a complimentary dinner was given Mr. 
 Jones by the trustees of the Atlantic Mutual Ins. Co. and other 
 merchants of N. Y. City. It was held in the Astor House, and 
 a handsome silver dinner service was presented him. Toasts and 
 speeches were made which were published in the papers of the 
 day. and an account published in the U. S. Insurance Gazette, 
 Vol. I, No. II, June, 1855. At this dinner there were present all 
 of the directors of the Co. and many other distinguished persons. 
 
 The then directors were: Walter R. Jones, Josiah L. Hale, 
 Thos. Tileston, Henry Coit, E. D. Hurlburt, Wm. S. Wetmore, 
 Elisha Riggs, Leroy M. Wiley, Henry W. Hicks, Danl. S. Miller,

 On a table parallel with this one was arranged the presenta- 
 tion plate, consisting of the following articles, viz. : Eight large 
 dishes, four vegetable dishes with covers, two gravy tureens, two 
 large salvers, six covers for dishes, two large pitchers, one large 
 waiter, two large soup tureens, and one magnificent epergne with 
 branching candelabra, the base surmounted by a cover worked in 
 imitation of a sea shell, upon which stood a figure of Neptune 
 with his trident, all except the epergne bearing the inscription:

 On 26 July, 185 1, he made his will, appointing his brother, 
 Charles H. Jones, and his three sisters as executors. He gave 
 legacies to the amount of $150,000, and life interests to five of his 
 brothers and sisters, with remainders to the children of his brother 
 Charles H., and sister Elizabeth. He left also a legacy of $1,000 
 to St. John's Prot. Epis. Church, at Cold Spring Harbor, and 
 another of $t,ooo to the trustees of a school to be erected within 
 100 rods of the said church. To the Trustees of the "Jo^^s Fund" 
 as founded by Samuel Jones, he gave $5,000. 
 
 He died April 7, 1855, and his funeral service was held in 
 Trinity Church, N. Y. City, the Rev. Drs. Higbee, Seabury and 
 Hale, Prest. of Geneva College, officiating. 
 
 His remains were deposited in the family vault at Cold Spring 
 Harbor, toward the erection of which he bequeathed the sum of 
 $500.

 (VI. 65). 
 
 Mr. Jones, the youngest of the ten children of John Jones 
 (III. 12), was born at Cold Spring Harbor in the house built 
 there by his father in 1783-4. The house, still (1900) well pre- 
 served, stands on the easterly side of the highway and near the 
 one built by Walter Jones (III. 13) on the westerly side of the 
 highway in 18 10. 
 
 His early education was obtained at the public schools of his 
 native place. His two elder brothers, Wm. H. and John H., hav- 
 ing settled in their respective homes on lands given them by their 
 father, he remained at home with his parents, and at his father's 
 death in 1819 succeeded to the old homestead. This was the 
 nucleus of what later became, under his care, the largest agri- 
 cultural interest in the possession of any one person in that part 
 of L. I. 
 
 During his younger days he greatly aided his father in his 
 agricultural pursuits, and later was interested with him in his 
 woolen and flouring mills at that place. 
 
 On the death of his uncle, Walter R. Jones (IV. 30), he fell 
 heir to the large mansion he (Walter R. Jones) had just com- 
 pleted in 1855, very near the old home of John Jones (III. 12), 
 and shortly after removed there with his family, and in it he 
 died, having survived all of his children excepting his daughter, 
 Mary E., who became the wife of Dr. Oliver L. Jones (VI. 65). 
 His new home has since been known as "Jones Manor House." 
 
 On the death of Mr. Jones' only son, John G., without issue, 
 his descendants in the male line became extinct, but through his 
 daughter, Mary E. (who married as above stated), the male line 
 was restored. 
 
 In later life Mr. Jones owned and conducted large brick yards 
 at Cold Spring Harbor, and also at Haverstraw, the latter of 
 which he purchased of his brother, Joshua T. 
 
 In 1870 he was elected Prest. of the Queens Co. Agricultural 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 151 
 
 Soc, a position of honor, to which he was re-elected for several 
 years. 
 
 As a churchman he was devout and sincere. In the organiza- 
 tion of St. John's Church, of his native place, in 1835, he bore a 
 prominent part, and from that time until his death he was its 
 senior warden, a period of forty-seven years. 
 
 He was a man of great firmness of character and deliberation, 
 and commanded the respect of all who knew him. His varied 
 business interests brought him in close touch with the leading 
 men of his day, and also afforded employment to a large number 
 of laboring men, whose friend, it can be truly said, he was. "His 
 hospitality to the poor was unbounded, and no applicant, either for 
 charity or work, who was in any way deserving was ever turned 
 away unaided." 
 
 (IV. 35) JOHN JACKSON JONES, son of Major Walter 
 (HI. 13); b. Sept. 6, 1785; d. Oct. 12, 1824. He never married. 
 
 A curious certificate now in possession of the family recites 
 that "he first entered school March ye 28th, A. D., 1790, being 
 then but four years, seven months, and nine days old." 
 
 He was sent to New York at an early age and became a clerk 
 in the Pacific Insurance Co. His advancement there was rapid, 
 becoming its Secy, in 1823, and in the year following its Vice 
 Prest. 
 
 Mr. Jones was the first one of the Jones family to engage in 
 the insurance business, and it was through his influence that his 
 cousin, Walter R. Jones (IV. 30), was introduced into the ofiice 
 of the United States Ins. Co. as a clerk. 
 
 He greatly aided his father in keeping up the old homestead 
 and perhaps advanced him money for that purpose. 
 
 On 7 Feb., 1820, he received a deed from his father for the 
 farm and homestead at Cold Spring Harbor, and in 1822 con- 
 veved the same to his four sisters. (See under Walter Jones 
 (III. 13)).

 editorship of the Rev. Samuel Seabury, and in 1841 he wrote for 
 the Church Record a series of articles on the great divines 
 of the Church of England. Besides many articles for periodicals 
 he was the author of several books, viz., the Analyst, Literary 
 Studies, Essays on Authors and Books, and Characters and Crit- 
 icisms. Mr. Duyckinck, editor of the Literary World, said of 
 him in 1847, "No man has done more through the American 
 periodicals to introduce among unprofessional readers a knowl- 
 edge of the great minds of the literature of the Church of Eng-

 Mr. Moore was born in Southold, L. I., and was a lineal de- 
 scendant of the first Thomas Moore, who settled there in 1651. 
 
 Though brought up as a Presbyterian he never sought to en- 
 force his religious views upon his family, preferring to remain 
 
i68 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 a passive agent and allowing them to follow in that faith so 
 strongly adhered to by his wife and her ancestors, viz., the Prot. 
 Epis. Church. 
 
 He came to N. Y. when quite young, and was soon admitted 
 to the Bar. In 1834 he became the law partner of Mr. C. G. 
 Havens, and in 1844 he was associated with Francis B. Cutting, 
 under the firm name of Cutting, Moore & Havens, which finally 
 merged into the firm of Moore, Hand and Bonney, in which firm 
 he remained an active partner until his death in 1893. In his 
 later years he became an indefatigable genealogist, and was a 
 charter member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical 
 Society. In 1872 he was its corresponding secy., and for the 
 first ten years of its existence "his pen yielded more for its Quar- 
 terly Record than any other man." His labors in this line closed 
 only with his death, and it is to him we are indebted for much 
 of this Jones genealogy (see under preface). He was a warm 
 and trusted friend of this family, and especially so of that branch 
 to which his wife belonged. For many years he was their sole 
 legal adviser, and his death was a great loss to them as well as 
 others. 
 
 Politically he was a strong JefTersonian Democrat, but in the 
 struggle for the Union he was a warm supporter of Prest. Lin- 
 coln. 
 
 No more fitting tribute to his memory can be paid than to 
 quote from the resolutions passed upon at his death by the Havens 
 Relief Fund Society, viz., "His private life was pure, unselfish 
 and irreproachable. As friend and adviser he was loyal and svm- 
 pathetic, and every trust undertaken by him was discharged as a 
 sacred duty." 
 
 (V. 79) JOHN DIVINE JONES, son of John H. (IV. 
 27) ; b. Aug. 15, 1814; d. Sept. 22, 1895, at his home in South 
 Oyster Bay, L. I. ; m. June 9, 1852, Josephine Katharine, dau. 
 of Maj. General Henry Floyd-Jones, by whom he had no issue. 
 
 Mr. Jones was born in the old homestead of his father at 
 Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., built upon land that was at one time 
 in the possession of Maj. Thomas Jones (I. i), the first ancestor of 
 the family in this country. 
 
 His early education was obtained from the public schools of 
 his native place. In 1829, at the age of fifteen years, he went to 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 169 
 
 N. Y. City and accepted a clerkship in the Atlantic Insurance 
 Co. (commonly designated as the 2d Atlantic Co.), of which his 
 uncle, Walter R. Jones (IV. 30), was then vice-prest. Here was 
 laid the foundation of his future high standing in the mercantile 
 world ; here was the beginning of a good and exemplary career. 
 
 For several years he lived with his brother-in-law, Mr. C. B. 
 Moore (who later became his legal adviser), employing much of 
 his spare time in attending night schools, and in study. His ad- 
 vancement was rapid. His early letters to his father and the 
 various members of the latter's family are examples of neatness 
 and precision, and from the Christian-like spirit and fairness as 
 evidenced by them in his dealings with the younger members of 
 the family we can readily portray the character of the rising man. 
 
 At the death of his father in 1859 the old homestead descended 
 to Mr. Jones, who greatly improved the place and made it his 
 country residence until it was destroyed by fire in 1861. This 
 occurred during the excitement of the Civil War, and as Mr. Jones 
 had many negroes in his employ (descendants of slaves once 
 owned by his father) the destruction of his house was supposed 
 to have been the outcome of various threats of a similar character 
 directed against him and other members of the family. Mr. Jones 
 and his brothers were strong supporters of the Union and had 
 no love for slavery and secession. 
 
 Soon after this Mr. Jones made his country residence at 
 South Oyster Bay, L. L, in the house formerly owned by his 
 wife's father, Maj. Genl. Henry Floyd-Jones. Here he continued 
 to reside during the summer months and in it he died. 
 
 In 1842 the business of the 2d Atlantic Insurance Co. was 
 transferred to a new company organized on the mutual plan, and 
 in the year following Mr. Jones was chosen its secy., with Walter 
 R. Jones (of the old Atlantic) as prest., and Josiah L. Hale, 
 vice prest. In 1849 Mr. Hale retired, and John D. Jones was 
 elected as 2d vice prest. of the new company (organized under 
 the name of the Atlantic Mutual Ins. Co.), and on 15 Feb., 1854. 
 he became its vice prest. 
 
 In 1859, after the death of Walter R. Jones, Mr. Jones became 
 prest., and continued in that office by annual elections until his 
 death in 1895, at which time his relations with the two Atlantic 
 companies embraced a period of sixty-six years. The success 
 of this company was phenomenal, and its officers under Mr. Jones' 
 
I70 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 long administration as president were men of ability and sound 
 business principles. 
 
 Mr. Jones died Sept. 22, 1895, widely lamented and mourned, 
 and it is for other pen than mine to speak of his personal char- 
 acteristics and private life. His funeral took place from old 
 Trinity Church, N. Y. City. The services were conducted by 
 Bishop Littlejohn, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Dix and others. The 
 buildings in Wall St. displayed their flags at half mast, and the 
 U. S. Sub-Treasury lowered its flag during the services. He was 
 interred in Memorial Cemetery, at Cold Spring Harbor, L. I. 
 
 We quote from a beautiful tribute to his memory written by 
 C. A. Hand, a personal friend of Mr. Jones: 
 
 "The record of the company has, from the beginning, been 
 a proud one, not only by reason of its extraordinary material 
 prosperity, but for the better reason that in its department of na- 
 tional and international commerce it has uniformly upheld the 
 highest standards of equitable and honorable dealing and ad- 
 ministration. While the foundations were well laid by Josiah 
 L. Hale and Walter R. Jones, yet the carrying up and mainte- 
 nance of the superstructure was, to a greater degree, under the 
 wise direction and fostering care of John D. Jones. His policy 
 was broad and enlightened, his sense of justice was clear and un- 
 equivocal, his judgment was far-sighted and well balanced, his 
 devotion to trust duty was unfaltering, his integrity was unas- 
 sailable, and his zeal was indefatigable. It was intended that 
 no honest merchant need appeal, beyond the president, to an out- 
 side tribunal. No deserving claimant could hope to win favor 
 through underhanded diplomacy. In the light of these salient 
 characteristics of management, so steadily and resolutely upheld 
 for so many years by Mr. Jones and the officers associated with 
 him and the employees selected and disciplined by them, the re- 
 markable success of the company is but the natural result of ob- 
 vious and adequate causes. 
 
 "Beyond the daily routine of business there were, moreover, 
 exceptional emergencies which tested the institution and its con- 
 trol. A notable instance was that of the Civil War, adding, as 
 it did, critical peril of the nation to the ordinary perils of its 
 commerce. The "Atlantic" was a prompt subscriber to the first 
 issue of government bonds for replenishing an empty treasury to 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 171 
 
 enable President Lincoln to meet his extraordinary expenditures. 
 Soon arose the grave and delicate responsibility of so dealing 
 with the hazards of privateers as, consistently with other rights 
 and interests, to shield, in so far as might be, the American mer- 
 chant marine, not merely from physical destruction but from 
 total disuse occasioned by fear of such destruction. The major- 
 ity of the underwriting organizations betrayed an inclination to 
 stand aloof from this hazard. Not so with the 'Atlantic' In 
 company with Capt. Chas. H. Marshall, then one of the trustees, 
 Mr. Jones visited Washington and had full and frank conferences 
 with Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward, who welcomed his explana- 
 tions of the co-relations of American credit and war resources 
 with American commerce. Ascertaining from them that not a 
 single cruiser was, at that moment, available to patrol the main 
 commercial highways, he obtained assurances that this need would 
 be supplied as soon as practicable, and a further assurance that 
 the administration would receive and duly represent claims upon 
 England, for losses inflicted by cruisers issuing from her ports, 
 and for which, as he contended, she ought to be held responsible. 
 Upon the faith of these assurances, Mr. Jones promised that his 
 company would do its full part in sustaining the government by 
 undertaking the risks in question. How faithfully and amply the 
 promise was fulfilled is best shown by the company's record of 
 war risks freely assumed, and of losses promptly paid through- 
 out the period of devastation wrought by the 'Alabama' and 
 'Shenandoah' and their comrades. How faithfully Mr. Lincoln 
 and his Secy, of State performed their part of the mutual under- 
 standing was testified by the receipt of claims and proofs (sup- 
 plied to a large extent by the company) and by the presentment 
 of and insistence upon them at London. It needs not to be said 
 that these great statesmen were in no wise blamable for the ulti- 
 mate diversion of proceeds of the claims, long after they had 
 passed from the stage, through misinformation and evil influences 
 prevailing with Congress in its disposition of the fund. And in 
 this connection it would be interesting to trace the substantial 
 although unproclaimed services of Mr. Jones in promoting the 
 final settlement of post-bellum disputes between the two kindred 
 nations, a settlement of infinitely greater consequence than the 
 collection of a sum of money, in that it was a grand precedent 
 for a peaceful arbitrament and in that it established rules of 
 
172 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 neutral duty and obligation of incalculable benefit to ocean com- 
 
 merce." 
 
 While the attention of Mr. Jones to the interests under his 
 immediate care was never relaxed, yet it was not limited to them. 
 He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and prest. of 
 the N. Y. Board of Underwriters for twenty-five years. 
 
 The pilot, the wrecking, and the coast life-saving systems are 
 among the affairs of public concern which owe him a heavy debt 
 of gratitude. To the pilots in particular, as a reliable licensed 
 and disciplined force, he was a life long bulwark against adverse 
 legislation as well as against errors of policy on their own part. 
 So with the merchant marine ; it is indebted to his foresight and 
 humanity for the nautical school, and its tendency to gradually 
 lift the sailor out of his degradation and to make his calling skilled 
 and properly trained and self respecting. 
 
 In all things and always Mr. Jones proved himself to be one 
 of nature's noblemen, true as steel, incorruptible, unselfish and 
 magnanimous, modest and retiring, gentle as a woman, yet in- 
 flexible for the right. In the expressive language of Mr. George 
 Bliss (one of the members of the Board of Directors), "He was 
 one of those pure men who always inspired confidence, and of 
 that child-like nature that those who really knew him could not 
 but love him." 
 
 In his annual address to the Convention of the Diocese of 
 L. I., May 19, 1896, Bishop Littlejohn paid the following tribute 
 to Mr. Jones: 
 
 "The Church at large and the Church in this diocese have suf- 
 fered less by death than in previous years. Only one of our 
 bishops, and comparatively few leaders among the clergy or laity, 
 have been taken. In the death of the late John D. Jones, and 
 Wm. Floyd-Jones, this diocese has lost two of its most promi- 
 nent and useful laymen. They belonged to the same parish, Grace 
 Church, Massapequa, and were members of its vestry for more 
 than a generation. For many years John D. Jones was a trustee 
 and the treasurer of our Episcopal Fund. He cared for this fund 
 as he would have cared for a private interest. His constant and 
 most generous gifts to the Archdeaconry of Queens Co. will be 
 sadly missed. To me he was most helpful in emergencies that 
 demanded the ready will and the open hand. He was as much 
 respected and beloved in the business world as in the Church. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 173 
 
 Everywhere his name was a sign and pledge of integrity and 
 sagacity that no man ever doubted. He was a man whose strict 
 regard for duty in all the relations of life proved how thoroughly 
 his religion was wrought into his character. His faith, at once 
 simple and sincere, was so much in his life that no one had oc- 
 casion to ask what he believed. Without question he now dwells 
 in God's holy hill, for he walked uprightly, worked righteous- 
 ness, spoke the truth from his heart, and did no evil to his neigh- 
 bor." 
 
 Mr. Jones was a member of the Church of the Annunciation 
 of N. Y. City and one of its vestry during the rectorship of the 
 Rev. Dr. Samuel Seabury. He was Junior Warden of the parish 
 from 1853 to 1871, and from that time until his death in 1895 its 
 Senior Warden. He greatly aided in the maintenance of this 
 parish, and was, in fact, its principal supporter. Touching this 
 we quote from an entry made upon the minutes of its vestry at 
 a meeting called by its Rector in regard to the decease of Mr. 
 Jones. "It is natural that those who have had the care of the 
 maintenance of a parish struggling against vicissitudes and bur- 
 densome want of means should recur particularly to the bounty 
 of one who was in this respect their chief helper. It would, in 
 the judgment of this vestry, be an injustice to Mr. Jones not to 
 commemorate at this time the fact that without his munificence 
 they would have been unable to maintain the services of the 
 church so long as they were maintained, and they think it only 
 due to say that without his aid the vestry would have been obliged 
 to close its doors thirty years ago." 
 
 Of the many positions of trust held by Mr. Jones we can but 
 briefly note : He was one of the founders of the Atlantic Trust 
 Co., and a director of the Citizens' Insurance Co. for twenty-five 
 years. He was also a director of the Equitable Life Assurance 
 Society of the U. S. for twenty years, and one of the trustees of 
 the Metropolitan Throat Hospital, an institution that owes its 
 existence mainly to his bounty, and of which he was its first 
 president. He was one of the Board of Managers of the Prot. 
 Epis. Church Missionary Society for Seaman in the City of N. 
 Y., and "liberally contributed to its treasury." his connection with 
 that society as manager covering a period of twenty-seven years.

 He alone of all the children of John H. Jones remained at 
 liome, and at an early age was taken as a clerk in his father's 
 business at Cold Spring Hbr. His younger brother, William E., 
 returning from N. Y. City, later became a partner with Mr. Jones 
 in their father's business under the name of John H. Jones & 
 Sons. After their father's death in 1859 they continued on the 
 business for many years, but the whaling industry and the woolen 
 mills formerly carried on by them and their father not remain- 
 ing profitable, the business resolved itself into a large general 
 country store. This proved successful for a while, but the large 
 and extended credits they were forced to give (many of which 
 were never collected) on account of many new competitors in 
 the neighboring villages, caused them to discontinue it in 1867. 
 
 Mr. Jones retired to his farm at that place, where he spent 
 the remainder of his life, and his brother, Wm. E., formed a new 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 175 
 
 partnership with his brother-in-law, Walter R. Hewlett. This 
 co-partnership existed for several years, when Mr, Hewlett with- 
 drew, and Mr. Wm. E. Jones was left the last manager of what 
 was once the largest and most extended enterprise in that part 
 of Long Island. At the latter's death, in 1890, the business be- 
 came a thing of the past, and shortly after the old store of John 
 H. Jones, once the centre of many large industries, was destroyed 
 by fire. 
 
 Mr. Jones (the subject of this sketch) was much interested 
 in the affairs of his native place. For several years he was one 
 of the trustees of the Public School, and at the outbreak of the 
 Civil War he was engaged in enlisting men for the army, for 
 the advancement of which he was authorized at a special meeting 
 of the inhabitants of the town of Oyster Bay to borrow certain 
 funds, or to use his own, if necessary, for which the town further 
 agreed to hold itself responsible. 
 
 He was a Republican in politics, and for many years was 
 postmaster of his native place. He was a Churchman, and from 
 1850 until his death in 1898 was one of the vestry of St. John's 
 Prot. Epis. Church.

 He went to N. Y. City when a boy as a clerk in the auction 
 house of John Rudderow & Co. This business was originally 
 established by John Broome previous to 1800. Broome was Lieut. 
 Gov. in 1804, and his daughter married in 1806 James Boggs, of 
 Phila., who in 1808 established the house of Boggs & Livingston 
 (Livingston was his brother-in-law), who in 1815 were succeeded 
 by Boggs, Livingston & Thompson, then Boggs, Thompson & 
 Samson, then Thompson & Samson, then Joseph Samson & Co., 
 then John Rudderow & Co.. then Rudderow, Jones & Co.. then 
 Jones, Underbill & Scudder, then Jones & Underbill, then again 
 Jones, Underbill & Scudder, and finally Underbill & Scudder. It is 
 
176 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 worthy of note that throughout this long period of successive 
 partnerships, at each change thereof one of the old firm continued 
 in the new. 
 
 Mr. Jones became an associate in the business under the firm 
 of John Rudderow & Co., and during his day was considered one 
 of the ablest auctioneers of the city. 
 
 He resided at Cold Spring Harbor, and was vestryman of St. 
 John's Church from 1858 to 1869, when he was elected Junior 
 Warden. At the death of Mr. Chas. H. Jones, in 1882, Mr. 
 Jones succeeded him as Senior Warden, and held successively 
 until his death in 1891. 
 
 In politics he was a Republican, and at the outbreak of the 
 Civil War was one of a committee of five persons appointed by 
 the town of Huntington to raise the sum of $30,000 for the ex- 
 penses of procuring its quota of soldiers, and was chairman of 
 the financial committee that controlled the disbursement of the 
 funds so raised. He was one of sixty-two persons who pledged 
 their credit to the amount of $500 each to this fund. (Hunting- 
 ton Town Reeds., Vol. 3, p. 474.)

 He was for a time in the employ of the Atlantic Mutual Ins.

 came an associate with his father in his various enterprises, and 
 also with his brother Samuel, and brother-in-law, Walter R. 
 Hewlett. (See under Samuel A. Jones (V. 81). 
 
 He resided at Cold Spring Harbor, on the easterly side of 
 the "Lower Mill Pond" (St. John's Lake), in the old house of 
 his wife's grandfather, Judge Divine Hewlett. He was a de- 
 voted member of St. John's Church, being on its board of vestry 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 176 A 
 
 (V. 85) WALTER R. T. JONES was long prominent in 
 American underwriting circles as the leading marine in- 
 surance adjuster of the country, whose ancestors settled at 
 South Oyster Bay, now Massapequa, where some of the land 
 acquired by them is still in the hands of their descendants, 
 the country seat of W. R. T. Jones being on this ground. He 
 received his rudimentary education in the Jamaica schools, 
 subsequently taking a course at Columbia College, from which 
 he was graduated in 1850, being a classmate and close friend 
 of F. R. Coudert, afterward destined to attain high eminence 
 as a lawyer, the intimacy thus established continuing through- 
 out his entire life. 
 
 It was Mr. Jones' original purpose to adopt the legal pro- 
 fession, with which end in view he prepared himself for the 
 bar, but he never practiced and took up the interests in which 
 he achieved distinction, although it must be conceded that his 
 knowledge of law proved of the fullest value to him in his 
 other field of effort. Making a special study of admiralty law 
 in all its phases, he became the authority on everything per- 
 taining thereto, and had no superior as an expert adjuster of 
 averages in marine losses. He founded the firm of Jones & 
 Whitlock, with offices on Wall street, in New York, and the 
 concern was unquestionably the most representative enterprise 
 of its class in the United States, enjoying a standing, influence 
 and support that placed it foremost among the undertakings 
 of like type. Mr. Jones possessed a natural ability that 
 peculiarly fitted him for the adjusting business, and the 
 accuracy of his findings won him a wide repute as one of the 
 ablest men ever allied with the marine insurance calling. 
 He was a Republican in his political affiliations, but never 
 active as a politician. He was noteworthy as the only man 
 not a practicing lawyer who held membership in the New York 
 Bar Association. He was also a member of the Union League, 
 the University Club, the St. Nicholas Society, the Seawanhaka 
 Corinthian Yacht Club, the Downtown Club, the New York 
 Chamber of Commerce, the Shipmasters' Association, the 
 Association of Average Adjusters, and the American Bureau 
 of Shipping. He was treasurer of the American Geographical 
 Society, and governor of the Wawepex Society at Cold Spring 
 Harbor, which was founded by his brother, John D. Jones. 
 He was an attendant at the Protestant Episcopal Church of 
 
176 B THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 the Incarnation, New York, and was a gentleman of upright, 
 moral character, richly endowed with intellectual strength, 
 and well deserving of the general regard in which he was 
 so widely held. He visited Europe frequently, and it was one 
 of his pleasant recollections that he had been in London on 
 the occasion of the America winning the Queen's Cup in the 
 first of the international contests for that trophy. He was 
 married in 1854 to Anna Pierson Bailey, daughter of Rear 
 Admiral Theodorus Bailey, of the United States Navy, a 
 gallant officer, whose place in the history of his country is 
 assured by his famous achievement in leading Admiral Farra- 
 gut's fleet past Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip during the 
 Civil War. To this marriage were born two children, a son 
 and a daughter, namely, Theodorus B., who was educated at 
 St. Paul's School at Concord, N. H., and who died there in 
 1879, before he completed his sixteenth year, and Josephine 
 Katherine, who became the wife of Major Charles William 
 Whipple, of the United States Army, an officer well and 
 favorably known for his efficient services in connection with 
 the ordnance department, but who is now retired, five children 
 being the resulting issue as follows: Walter Jones, William, 
 Sherburne, a second lieutenant in the regular service, Annette 
 Bailey, and Eleanor Sherburne. Mr. Jones died at his home 
 in New York City, March 26, 1906. 
 
 The Bulletin of the American Geographical Society in an 
 obituary says: 
 
 " Mr. Jones possessed rare qualities of mind and heart, yet 
 modesty and simplicity were his chief characteristics. He 
 was wise in counsel and of unswerving integrity; strong in 
 attachments, generous and considerate with his adversaries," 
 
 The Association of American Adjusters of the U. S. pay 
 the following high tribute to Mr. Jones in resolutions adopted 
 at the time of his decease: 
 
 "The members of this association will miss our friend's 
 sturdy form and kindly personality at their meetings, where 
 he was wont to take part in discussions, and by his large ex- 
 perience and ripe judgement, frequently aided in the solution 
 of difficult questions.

 37. Harriet Howell, b. Dec. 4, 1894; d. June 15, 1896. 
 
 His early education was derived from the same schools as that 
 of his brother, John H. In 1872 he accepted a clerkship in the 
 Atlantic Mutual Ins. Co., of N. Y. City, of which his uncle, John 
 D. Jones (V. 79), was then prest. Under the latter's guidance 
 he arose from one official position to another and was finally ap- 
 pointed by him as assistant secy. The duties of this office were 
 faithfully and conscientiously carried out by Mr. Jones, and dur- 
 ing the last three years of his life he was, by reason of the illness 
 of the secretary, discharging the duties of that office also. It 
 was the wish of the prest. and of those under him that Mr. Jones 
 might succeed to the secretaryship, but he did not live to see his 
 wishes fulfilled. In 1902 the secy, resigned, and Mr. A. A. Raven, 
 who had in the meantime succeeded Mr. John D. Jones as prest., 
 not favoring the latter's nephew as secretary, handed in to the 
 Board of Directors the name of another, who confirmed the same. 
 This was a terrible disappointment to Mr. Jones and had much 
 to do with the latter's illness and subsequent death. Thus were 
 the wishes of one undone by those of another who had been most 
 befriended by him. 
 
 Throughout his long career in the employ of the company Mr. 
 Jones faithfully and honorably discharged the duties incumbent 
 upon him, but an early death cut short a career of untiring energy 
 and devotion in all his business and family relations.

 Concord, N. H., March 27, 1879, from the effects of a violent 
 fever caused by overexertion in gymnastic exercises. He was an 
 exceptionally bright and promising young man, and his early 
 death was a great loss to the family. He was a great favorite 
 with both teachers and scholars, and stood high in his class, rank- 
 ing first or second among thirty-three members. His teachers 
 spoke of him as "a young man of pure and tender feeling, and 
 left a high record for one dying on the threshold of life." We 
 quote from a tribute to his memory by the members of his class : 
 "We testify to the honorable and conscientious conduct of our 
 fellow scholar, to his perfect truthfulness, to his pure and un- 
 stained life and conversation, and to his loyalty and manliness in 
 all his relations to the school and to his classmates."

 will of his grandfather, Judge David Jones (II. 2), and an Act of 
 the Legislature of March 14, 1788, took in addition to his own sur- 
 name that of Jones, and thereby became known as David Richard 
 Floyd-Jones, the first of the family bearing that double name on 
 Long Island.

 Richard Floyd (8), b. Nov. 14, 1764; d. Feb. 10, 1826; m. Sept.

 6. Andrew Onderdonk, b. Jan. 9, 1794; d. Feb. 11, 1794. 
 
 Hendrick Onderdonk, his father-in-law, was of the 3d genera- 
 tion of America, being a son of Andries and his wife, Gertrude 
 Lott. Some of his family supported the American side. He was 
 b. Dec. II, 1724; d. March 31, 1809. His wife Phebe, whom he 
 m. May 20, 1750, was b. July 12, 1730; d. Dec. 19, 1801. 
 
 As David Richard Floyd-Jones' grandfather, Judge David 
 Jones (11.2), by his will entailed his Fort Neck property in-tail 
 male upon his only son, Judge Thomas Jones (HI. 3), and in 
 default of such issue, to his daughter Arabella in tail-male, this 
 David Richard Floyd- Jones (i), by reason of such default, and 
 being the only son of Arabella, became possessed of the large 
 landed estate and enjoyed it during his life. 
 
 Shortly after his succeeding to the estate he was admonished 
 
iqS the JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 by his uncle, Judge Thomas Jones (III. 3) in the following words : 
 "Behave with caution and prudence, and let me beg of you by 
 your conduct never to disgrace the families of your two grand- 
 fathers. Always remember, one was first in Queens, the other 
 in Suffolk." That he regarded this advice and lived with probity 
 and honor there is every evidence. He was a faithful churchman, 
 never failing on Sunday mornings to drive ten miles to St. 
 George's Church, at Hempstead, which was his nearest parish 
 church.

 24. Thomas Langley, b. Oct. 7, 1859; d. Aug. 30, 1861. 
 
 His early education was obtained at a public school near his 
 father's homestead on Fort Neck. He commenced his classical 
 studies in Christ Church School. Manhasset, L. I., and en- 
 tered the sophomore class in Union College, Schenectady, where 
 he graduated in 1832. He studied law in the office of Judge 
 Samuel W. Jones (V. 13). of Schenectady, and in 1835 com- 
 menced practice in N. Y. City with Jas. P. Howard. In 1840 
 he began his political career in N. Y. City and prominently iden- 
 tified himself with the Democratic party. 
 
 In 1840 to 1842 he was a Member of Assembly from N. Y. 
 City, and from 1844 to 1846 was a member of the State Senate. 
 In 1847 he was appointed Clerk of the Superior Court of N. Y. 
 City by Chief Justice Oakley, which office he held until 1852, when 
 he retired from public life. 
 
 In 1857 he again entered public life and represented his native 
 county of Queens in the Assembly. In 1859 he was nominated 
 for the office of Secy, of State, and after being unanimously rati- 
 fied by the State Convention at Utica was elected to that office. 
 
 At the outbreak of the Civil War he took a decided stand 
 against the Southern States, and in a speech made by him on 
 July 4, 1862 (then printed), he set forth his views upon the crisis 
 in strong and unmistakable words. 
 
 In the fall of that year he was elected Lieut. Governor of the 
 
200 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 State of N. Y., "The duties of which he discharged with un- 
 swerving devotion to the Union." 
 
 One who had known him intimately in pubHc Hfe, and was a 
 pohtical opponent, spoke of him in the following manner in the 
 House shortly after his death: "He passed through life from 
 the beginning to the end of it, I believe, without a single blemish 
 upon his reputation or standing before the entire community of 
 this State. No man in the heat of party strife or conflict, no 
 man in the heat of debate upon the floor in either branch of the 
 Legislature, was ever heard to say aught against his pure and 
 upright character, and no man who watched him can say aught 
 than that he worked with his whole heart and soul for the benefit 
 of those who had placed him in position." 
 
 He was a devout churchman, and, quoting from an article in 
 the Church Journal of 1871, "His influence and usefulness in the 
 councils of the Church need no other record than the important 
 positions which he filled in the Diocese of N. Y. previous to its 
 recent division, and subsequently in the Diocese of Long Island. 
 In the new diocese his important services were immediately rec- 
 ognized and acknowledged at its Primary Convention by his be- 
 ing elected a member of the Standing Committee, a deputy to the 
 General Convention, and also a deputy to the Federal Council. 
 He was appointed on the Special Committees on Canons, and on 
 the Revision of the Constitution and Canons, in both of which he 
 served with marked ability. 
 
 "As a churchman he has left his record, 'read and known of 
 men.' "

 Every early settler of Long Island should have on record a 
 full and authentic account of himself and family. His descend- 
 ants will take especial interest in it. By intermarriages these may 
 extend into many families and be very numerous. His account 
 may largely aid others, and will be read by many students, and 
 all combined are needed to make out a thorough and reliable gen- 
 eral history. The family origin of each in the old country aids 
 to a correct general view, but is remote and cannot be expected 
 with certainty nor in much detail. 
 
 The Jones family emanating from Wales was numerous in 
 England before the emigration to America. The Welsh origin 
 and English cultivation, which bore their own marks in the Long 
 Island family, need no other verification. The Welsh retain 
 personal types and training with local and family customs fully 
 as long as any other race. A similar mode of reasoning justifies 
 us in taking some notice of prominent persons of Welsh descent 
 and English training bearing the same name in England. 
 
 Those of the legal profession, viz., one named William and 
 one named Thomas, are most attractive for an introduction to the 
 history of several American lawyers and judges. The lawyer. 
 Thomas Jones, who became an M. P., sergeant-at-law. Knight, 
 Judge of K. B. and C. J. of C. P., deserves notice historically, 
 though he may not have been the immediate ancestor of any early 
 settler of Long Island. He was rather the cotemporary of the 
 earliest settlers of New England. Born about 16 14, in the reign 
 of King James, he lived through an exciting and eventful period 
 until May. 1692. As reported, he was the second son of Edward 
 Jones, of Sandford in Shropshire, adjoining Wales, by his wife 
 Mary, daughter of Robert Powell. Esq.. of that county. His 
 descent was traced by the Welsh Heralds from a period earlier 
 than the Conquest, but upon that we need not rely. 
 
2o8 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Of the Powell family we may read a little in the life of Milton. 
 It was numerous, and from Wales, and it was early on Long 
 Island. 
 
 Roger Jones became an alderman of London, and was wealthy 
 in the time of King James, and, attaining property in Ireland, 
 he sent his son Thomas to flourish there. We suspect him a rela- 
 tive. 
 
 In 1629 (at the age of 15) Thos. Jones entered college, and 
 at the same time had his name entered at Lincoln's Inn, in Lon- 
 don, as a law student, then a common course with the ambitious 
 to secure a precedence. The early care taken of him is note- 
 worthy. He had profited by a free school at Shrewsbury to pre- 
 pare for this, and probably the success of Judge William enticed 
 him. In 1632 he graduated as A. B. In 1634 he was called 
 to the Bar, and then for some years we have no account of 
 him. But of the "ill-fated" period embracing the agitations, etc., 
 which preceded the evil war and the convulsions of it, we can read. 
 His brother (not named), as reported, was Recorder of Shrews- 
 bury, and from the Bench declared him "well afifected" to the 
 Parliament, and was chosen "Town Clerk" by the Parliamentary 
 party, from which office he was dismissed before the Restoration. 
 The first distinct account we have of the future judge is that he 
 was elected to fill up the old House of Commons dispersed by 
 Cromwell, just before the return of Charles II. to England, and 
 it is further stated that Sir Edward Hyde, son of Judge Nicholas 
 Hyde, a lawyer, afterwards the first Earl of Clarendon, wrote 
 letters from abroad, where he was the advisor of Charles II., to 
 his friends in England, requesting them to get elected, of which 
 letters this Thomas Jones received one. In 1669 he was Knighted 
 and made a sergeant-at-law. In 1671 he was prosecuting officer 
 for the King. He is not supposed related to Col. John, the regi- 
 cide. In 1676 he was appointed associate Judge of the King's 
 Bench. In 1680 he was impeached with Scroggs for irregularly 
 stopping a prosecution of Duke James by dismissing a grand jury, 
 etc., but Parliament was soon prorogued and the proceedings 
 were not renewed. 
 
 In 1685 he would not declare to James II. in favor of his 
 kingly claim of a general power to dispense with statute law or 
 to dispense with the law as settled by the courts. 
 
 In 1686 he was dismissed and retired to private life. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 209 
 
 In 1689, under William of Orange, it was apprehended that 
 he was using his influence in favor of James 11. against William 
 of Orange, and was committed to prison by the House of Com- 
 mons. He died in 1692 and was buried in St. Alkmund's Church, 
 Shrewsbury. 
 
 Foss, in his "Lives of the Judges," gives only a slight account 
 of his family and states that he married Jane, dau. of Daniel 
 Bernard, of Chester. In Le Neve's Knights, p. 269 (which may 
 be doubtful), he states that of his sons, the first, William,* married 
 1st, a daughter of Andrew Floyd, of Ashton, Co. Silop, and 2d. 
 Grace, daughter of Peter Pindar, and that he had a daughter 
 Mary (not traced), and a son Thomas, who was living in 1705. 
 but no marriage nor children of this Thomas were mentioned. 
 If he was abroad that would be a good excuse for not reporting 
 his family. The 2d son, Thomas, married Jane, daughter of 
 Wilkinson, of Kirkbred, Yorkshire, and had issue: Charles (not 
 the Earl of Ranelagh), Grace, Jane and Elizabeth. Capt. Daniel, 
 the third son, was Capt. of Windsor Castle, but no marriage nor 
 children are mentioned. Edward, the 4th son, was Prebendary of 
 Windsor, and Sub-Dean. He married a daughter of the Rev. 
 Dr. Fulliam, and as Foss says, "From this Edward descended 
 Catharine, daughter of Rev. John Jones, who married Capt. John 
 Tyrwhett. " (See i Burke's Commoners.) 
 
 Another (or possibly the same) clergyman, Edward Jones, 
 attracts attention in another line. He was appointed Bishop of 
 Cloyne, in Ireland, and in 1692, when William of Orange would 
 soon reach and disturb the prelates of James, was translated from 
 Cloyne to be Bishop of St. Asaph's, in England, to succeed Bishop 
 Wm. Lloyd. The diocese of St. Asaph's was in Wales. Bishop 
 Jones was tried on charges in 1699 . Burnett says that the Bishop 
 of that diocese generally named the clergyman for parishes. The 
 charge against Jones related to his receiving rewards from clergy- 
 men for promoting them. It was a time of great struggling for 
 places between different sets of clergy. The old Bishops were re- 
 quired to swear allegiance to William and Mary, and upon refusal, 
 excluded. In Ireland the Bishops had received a share of the 
 tithes or other payments collected in a parish ; he might say.

 Deusen Merritt. 
 
210 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 "why not in Wales ?" We have . little of his history. It 
 seems he left issue. If he left a son or relative Thomas, in Ire- 
 land, would not the latter, of course, resist William of Orang-e? 
 These accounts do not mention daughters of the Judge (Thomas 
 Jones), nor have we trace of any. But one of the twelve sons of 
 Sir Thos. Littleton (member of Parliament in 1642), by report 
 married a daughter of Judge Jones, and died in America. ( i . . . . 
 Bar. 322.) If his wife was a daughter of this Judge, the move- 
 ments of the Lyttletons would aid in an understanding of the 
 Judge's family. (MSS. C. B. Moore.) 
 
 Constantine L>'ttleton, son of Sir Thomas, died in Jamaica in 
 the West Indies, Dec. 31, 1662. (See 7 Coll. Peer, 445 and 450.) 
 
 Sir Charles, another son, early took arms and was in Col- 
 chester when it surrendered. He escaped to France and returned 
 to England in 1659. He was praised by Sir Ed. Hyde, and was 
 sent to Jamaica (and succeeded Lord Windsor as Governor), 
 where he rebuilt the town of Port Royal after its destruction. We 
 note that Major Thomas Jones (I. i) was, by report, in Port 
 Royal at the time of its destruction. (J. H. J., VI. 76).

 Letter of Sara A. Van Deu.sen Merritt relative to Sir William 
 Jones of London. 
 
214 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 Kingston, N. Y., May 3, 1904- 
 Mr. J. H. Jones, 
 
 Dear Sir: I greatly regret that I cannot give you any information 
 concerning the Joneses excepting that my grandmother, Arabella Jones 
 Gale, was distinctly related to Sir Wm. Jones, of London, Eng., and to 
 some of the Joneses of Babylon, Long Island. 
 
 An engraving fac-simile of the statue erected to Sir William, in St. 
 Paul's Cathedral, London, was sent to some of those in America who 
 were "related by blood" was the wording. My grandmother received one. 
 I am exceedingly desirous of ascertaining how I am related to Sir William, 
 and I hope you will be able to inform me. My cousin, Arabella Clark 
 Bucklin, now in her eighty-sixth year, told me that a Gale or a Jones 
 married a De Lancey. She thought he was a brother of the De Lancey 
 who was Provincial Governor of New York. I will just add that I am 
 the only surviving one of fourteen children of my parents, Dr. and Mrs. 
 Jacob Lansing Van Deusen. 
 
 Yours sincerely, 
 
 Sarah Van Deusen Merritt. 
 273 Clinton Ave. 
 
 Arabella Jones Gale, above named, was a granddaughter of 
 Judge David Jones (IL 2), through his daughter Anna, the wife 
 of Dr. John Gale. 
 
 ADDENDA 
 
 Since the untimely and lamented death of Mr. John H. 
 Jones, the undersigned has had correspondence with Mrs. 
 Sara A. Van Deusen Merritt, and has received from her a 
 dainty little volume from the Knickerbocker Press, written by 
 her for private circulation entitled, " My Mother's Girlhood." 
 
 From this, and from her letters to me, I have taken what 
 relates to Sir William Jones. 
 
 Had Mr. Jones lived longer, he might have found here 
 a clue to the relationship of Sir William, with the Jones fam- 
 ily ; and with his energy and untiring perservance he might 
 have traced the parentage and early history of Maj. Thomas 
 Jones (i). 
 
 A few words about Mr. John H. Jones seem to be due to 
 him, and may be of interest to those members of the family 
 who did not know him. 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 215 
 
 An acquaintance with him of more than twenty years, and 
 during the last ten years of his life an intimate acquaintance 
 with him, gave me the opportunity of knowing him well. 
 
 He was in the first place a man of strict integrity, and in- 
 dependence of thought and action, and religiously conscien- 
 tious, and he was a man of fine literary tastes. He was a 
 friend to those in the humble stations of life, generous to a 
 fault, sympathetic, just, and fearless. 
 
 It was characteristic of him, when he once said: " I would 
 like to be rich enough to give a man ten dollars when he asked 
 for o?te." 
 
 His last illness was induced, probably, by his unselfish 
 work for others, by which his strength was overtaxed. 
 
 For several years he had been an active and useful vestry- 
 man in the parish of his father and forefathers; and he had 
 the same love and loyalty for that church which he has chron- 
 icled as a peculiar trait of his ancestors. 
 
 Requiescat In Pace. 
 
 At an early age the mother of Sara A. Van Deusen, and 
 the daughter of Sanford and Arabella (Jones) Clark, was sent 
 to the classical school at Goshen, N. Y., of which at one time 
 Noah Webster, the lexicographer, was the preceptor. 
 
 In this place she had "kinsfolk living," with whom she 
 spent Saturdays and Sundays. 
 
 In the little book of her "girlhood " she says: " One great 
 source of pleasure to me, on Saturdays, was reading and re- 
 reading old letters of wh' my kinsfolk had several packets, 
 many of them more than a hundred years old." * * * ♦ 
 " I was especially interested in the ones wh' had been written 
 by the DeLanceys, who were kinsfolk of my mother's family, 
 the Jones." * * * * "My kinsfolk had also a small packet 
 of letters written by Sir William Jones, letters he had written 
 to his kinsfolk during the time he was Judge of the Supreme 
 Court in Bengal, India. He was a very intelligent man, and 
 also a great linguist, speaking and writing in more than twenty 
 languages. For translating Hindu and Mohammedan law, 
 morals, religion, etc., he was knighted by King George III. 
 He was not only distinguished for learning, my kinsfolk told 
 me, but also for his sincere piety." * * * * "The Most 
 Honorable East India Company erected a life-size statue to 
 his memory in St. Paul's Cathedral, London; and a monument 
 
2i6 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 in Bengal where he died." * * * * "A facsimile of the 
 statue erected in St. Paul's Cathedral had been sent to ' those 
 living in America who were related to Sir William by blood,' 
 was the wording. My kinsfolk at Goshen received one, and 
 also my mother. That engraving was burned in a fire which 
 destroyed the house and nearly all its contents. In the house 
 at the time there was an old mahogany desk, wherein in a 
 secret drawer were valuable legal documents, old letters, and 
 the engraving of the statue of Sir William." 
 
 In this little book from which these quotations are taken, 
 Dinah, the old family servant, is made to say to the mother of 
 the writer of it: ' You are a good child Miss Nancy, and so is 
 Miss Katherine, but neither of you will ever be just like your 
 mother in this wide world.' ****<' g^t your blessed 
 mother ! Why I heard Aaron Burr say that your mother, 
 ' Madam Clark ' he called her, was the most queenly mannered 
 lady he had ever known. I heard him say that with my own 
 ears." 
 
 INSCRIPTION ON THE STATUE IN ST. PAUL's CATHEDRAL. 
 
 " To the memory of Sir William Jones, Knight. One of the Judges of 
 the Supreme Court of Judicature at Port William in Bengal. 
 
 This statue was erected by the Most Hon. East India Company in testi- 
 mony of their greatful sense of his public services, their admiration of his 
 genius and learning, and their respect for his character and virtues. 
 
 He died in Bengal, Apr. 27th, 1774, aged 47. (John Bacon, R. A. Sculp- 
 ture in 1777)." (Sic.) 
 
 In one hand of the statue is a book, and on it is: 
 
 "Translations 
 
 of Die. 
 
 Institutes 
 
 of 
 Menu." 
 
 In the other hand, hanging by his side, is a map, which 
 has on it: 
 
 " Plans of the 
 Asiatic Society." 
 
 It is unfortunate that the letter which came with the en- 
 gravings has been lost. 
 
 Mrs. Merritt writes that none of her "kinsfolk" at Goshen 
 are now living. 
 
 It is evident that the one who wrote the letter accompany- 
 ing the engraving of the statue knew the relationship between 
 Sir William Jones and Maj. Thomas Jones. 
 
 Why these engravings were sent to the "kinsfolk" living 
 in Albany and Goshen, and none to those living on Long 
 Island is a mystery which will probably never be solved.

 earlier than any of his name. Born in 1610, he was in Plymouth, 
 Mass., in 1632, where in 1633 he m. Mary, dau. of John Brown, 
 of Leyden. 
 
 It is not possible to connect him with any of the variously 
 spelled families of that name. , 
 
 He was one of the Commissioners who represented the Dutch 
 in the Hartford Treaty of 1650, between the English and Dutch 
 on L. I. (See under Maj. Thos. Jones (I. i.) He d. 4 Aug., 
 1674, leaving issue thirteen children by his first wife, Mary, (Car-

 This descent (through Edward (9), Samuel (8), Capt. 
 Thomas (i), has been questioned by some (see Mail & Express in- 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 223 
 
 quiries Nos. 225, 282, 398, etc.), but his son, Wm. M. Willett, 
 who in 183 1 wrote a "Narrative of His Father's MiHtary Opera-

 mission as Rear Admiral, and in 1876 was placed upon the re- 
 tired list, his death occurring soon after.

 1877, who in peace or war for fifty-nine years so gallantly served 
 in the navy of our land, this cup is dedicated. 
 
 "In the U. S. S. Cayuga he led the fleet of Admiral Farragut 
 through the fire of forts Jackson and St. Philip and opposing 
 vessels, April 24, 1862."

 RYSAM FAMILY 
 
 (i) CAPT. WILLIAM JOHNSON RYSAM, b. 1734, d. 
 in Sag Harbor, L. I., 1806. It is not known when he first came 
 to this country. His earliest identification here is found in the 
 records of the Fourth Church, of Portsmouth, N. H., where on 
 26 Dec, 1773, three of his daughters, viz., Mary, Nancy and 
 Phanny, were baptized by the Rev. Samuel Haven. 
 
 During the Rev. War he was in command of a privateer 
 named the "British Queen," and by report made his headquarters 
 at Norfolk, Va., where his two youngest daughters, Hanna Frippe, 
 and Sophia, were born. His first wife, the mother of his chil- 
 dren, was Ursula, dau. of Thomas Pierce, of Portsmouth, N. H. 
 On 8 Oct., 1777, Mrs. Rysam, then in Portsmouth, was permitted 
 "under a flag of truce" to go with her husband to Rhode Island, 
 and in the following year his name was included in an Act of 
 Legislature of N. H.. "as one who had left the State and joined 
 the enemy." In 1780 his property in Portsmouth was "sett oit" 
 or confiscated. (See N. H. State Papers, VIII., p. 703-850.) 
 
 He was a strong Tory, and at the burning of Norfolk, Va., by 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 297 
 
 the British in 1779, he, his wife and five daughters (the youngest. 
 Sophia, being then eight months old) were forced to leave. He 
 made his escape on his vessel, but was intercepted by the Ameri- 
 cans who, finding nothing contraband on board, allowed them 
 to depart. 
 
 He landed in Rhode Island, and soon after left for East Hamp- 
 ton, L. I., where he arrived in 1780, when by report his youngest 
 daughter, Sophia, was fifteen months old, and his eldest daugh- 
 ter, Mary, was fifteen years of age. It is supposed he crossed 
 L. I. Sound and landed on Lloyds Neck, where the British had 
 their headquarters under Col. Oliver De Lancey, and proceeded 
 overland to his destination. This seems evident from the fact 
 that during his journey there his wife died from exposure and 
 was buried in the "Old Cemetery" at Huntington, L. I. He mar- 
 ried in Easthampton, L. I., as his 2d wife "the widow Mulford," 
 by whom he had no issue. He died there in 1806 leaving five 
 daughters who, as tradition says, "not being pleased with their 
 father's will, burned it up." Issue:

 Jones (IV. 34). She, Nancy (3), m. 2d, Archibald 
 Gracie, of N. Y., and had issue, Mar}', William and 
 Archibald.

 HEWLETT FAMILY 
 
 Crest: — An owl's head erased and a£frontee arg. ducally gorged or. 
 
 Family tradition states that "George Hewlett, the first of his 
 name in America, was a judge of the Court under Cromwell's 
 Commonwealth who refused allegiance to Charles II. and fled to 
 America with his four sons, Daniel, George, Lewis and John. 
 They settled at Merrick, on the south side of L. 1., where Daniel, 
 the eldest son, succeeded to the homestead and left five sons and 
 three daughters. George settled on Great Neck, L. I., and left 
 three sons and two daughters. Lewis settled on Cow Neck, and 
 left two sons and five daughters, and John settled at Rockaway 
 and left two sons and four daughters, and from this John are de- 
 scended all the Hewletts of L. I." 
 
 Another tradition recites that "George Hewlett came to L. I. 
 with his brothers John and Lewis, and settled on Riker's Island, 
 but were driven away by the Indians to L. I., where, excepting 
 George, all died without issue." Thompson's L. I. states he "mar- 
 ried the widow of Guisbert Riker," but of this we can find no 
 proof. 
 
 There were many Hewletts in the New England Colonies at 
 any early period. One Thomas went to Ipswich, Mass., with John 
 Winthrop, Jr., in 1633. (Shurtliff's Mass. Hist. Reeds, i, p. 103). 
 Another, one William, came to Virginia in 1635, ^ ^9^ from Lon- 
 don. (Hotton's Original Lists.) 
 
 In 1664 Gov. Wm. Coddington came from Rhode Island to 
 Monmouth Co., N. J., bringing with him George Hulate, "then in 
 his employ." Gov. Coddington returned to R. I., and Hulate 
 became one of the early settlers of Monmouth Co., N. J. In 1675 
 warrants were issued to the proprietors for the location of their 
 lands, and George Hewlett and his wife's share was 240 acres, 
 (Salter's Monmouth Co.) 
 
 Austin's Gene. Dictionary of R. I. states that his wife was 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 331 
 
 Mary, b. 1647, dau- of Robert Taylor of R. I. The N. J. Archives, 
 Vol. I, p. 51, name him on 27 Feb., 1667, as then Hving in Nave- 
 sink. By one account he had a dau. EHzabeth, who in 1694 m. 
 Geo. Allen, of Shrewsbury. 
 
 We cannot identify him as the first George Hewlett, of L. I., 
 but believe him to be a near relative. 
 
 An early Louis Hewlett (claimed by the compiler of the 
 Peters Gene, to have been the ancestor of the Long Island fam- 
 ily) came to New Amsterdam from Buckinghamshire, Eng. In 
 1644 he was ordered by the Dutch to prove that one Jas. Bier was 
 his servant. (Trans. Dutch MSS., Albany, Vol. IV., Part i, p. 
 199.) On 15 Aug., 1646, he m. Helena Appelgate, widow of Thos. 
 Farrington. (N. Y. Gene. & Biog. Rec. 6. p. 37. Reeds. New 
 Amsterdam, Vol. i, p. 235.) This was his 2d wife. He m. 3d, 
 
 1648 (according to Peters Gene., p. 9) Marwyn, of Eng., and 
 
 had issue: Jane, m. Adam Mott ; John, Lewis and George, the 
 latter of whom by the same authority is identified as the first 
 George Hewlett, of Hempstead, L. I., who m. Mary Bayles. This 
 we must regard as an error, as the first George of Hempstead was 
 born in 1634 and could not have been a son of Louis, at least by his 
 3d marriage.

 He and his wife Mary were buried in the "Old Town Burying 
 Ground" at Hempstead. Their headstones are simply marked

 In 1681 his wife, then giving her age as 2'] years, was witness 
 in a lawsuit in Hempstead. (Hemp. Reeds., Vol. i, p. 373.) 
 
 He first appears in the Hempstead Reeds, in 1^)57, and after 
 held various local offices. In 171 5 he was in Capt. Joshua Cor-

 MOTT FAMILY 
 
 The ancestors of the Mott family in this country came 
 over at a very early period, and many bearing that name are 
 to be found in the early New England records, 
 
 John Mott, the ancestor of the family in England, came 
 with the "Conqueror" from La Motte in Normandie, and his 
 descendants settled in Essex and Cambridge, Eng. From 
 them we are told " came the ancestors of all the Motts in this 
 country." (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec, Vol. XX., p. 34.) Talcotfs 
 Gen. Notes of New England cites an early John Mott of 
 England and many descendants, but no particulars. 
 
 Gov. Winthrop, of Massachusetts, in a letter to his son 
 John (then living in England), dated 9 Oct., 1629, writes: " I 
 have sent down all the late news from New Eng. I would 
 have some of you read it to your mother, and let forth out the 
 observations, and all that follows the J^" and the letter in the 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 365 
 
 end and show it Mr. Mott." (See Chronicles of the First 
 Planters of Col. of Mass., by Alden Young, p. 264; Savages 
 Ed. of Winthrop's New Eng., Vol. I., p. 361.) 
 
 In another letter of his, to his wife, under date of 16 July, 
 1630, he writes: "Commend me heartily to all our friends . . . 
 remember me to them at Codenham Hall . . . Mr. Alston, 
 Mr. Mott and their wives." etc. (Savage's Ed. of 1825 of 
 Winthrop's New Eng., Vol. I., p. 373.) 
 
 The Mr. Mott alluded to was probably Thomas Mott, who 
 was one of the 42 adventurers who signed the agreement 
 with Isaac Allerton (the agent of the Mass. Bay Colony) on 
 15 Nov., 1626, whereby the sum of ^1,800 was advanced the 
 Colonists with conditions. (Bradford's Letter Book in First 
 Mass. Hist. Coll, Vol. III., p. 48.) 
 
 It is inferred that he did not come to this country, but was 
 instrumental in the immigration of and closely related to 
 Adam Mott, who came in the ship "Defense" on 2 July, 1635, 
 and in 1636 was freeman in Ipswich, Mass. This Adam Mott 
 was probably one of the twelve men who founded the plan- 
 tation of Agawan (after called Ipswich) under Gov. Winthrop's 
 brother John. Of these twelve men nine are mentioned by 
 Winthrop, viz.: Robert Coles, clerk, John Briggs, John Sage, 
 Thomas Hewlett, Thomas Hardy, Wm. Perkins, Thorn- 
 dike, Wm. Sargeant. (Winthrop's New Eng., Ed. 1852, Vol. I., 
 
 p. lOI.) 
 
 Of these, Robert Coles was the ancestor of the Coles 
 family of Long Island, and Thomas Hewlett, was probably a 
 near relative of the early George Hewlett of Long Island, and 
 we think a brother to Jane Hewlett (of Essex, Eng.), the first 
 wife of Adam Mott ("the first") of Hempstead, L. I. 
 
 Following closely upon the Puritan exodus from Great 
 Britain to New England, came the ship "Defense" on 2 July, 
 1635, with Thos. Bostwick as master, having among its passen- 
 gers Adam Mott (the one just alluded to) and Sarah, his wife, 
 with five children; or in the words of the ship's manifest — 
 "a taylor Adam Mott, 39 years old; uxor, Sarah Mott, 31 years, 
 Jo., 14 years, Adam, 12 years, Jonathan, 9 years, Elizabeth, 
 6 years, and Mary, 4 years." 
 
 He landed in New England, and "bro't testimony from the 
 justices and ministers of Cambridge that he had taken the 
 oaths of allegiance, and had also acknowledged his conformity 
 
366 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 to the discipline and orders of the Church of England." (Hot- 
 ton's Original Lists, p. 99.) 
 
 In 1636 he had land granted him in Hingham, Mass. (New 
 Eng. Hist. & Gen. Reg., Vol. IL, p. 251), and in the latter part 
 of that year he and his wife were members of the first church 
 at Roxbury. His Church of England views soon got him into 
 trouble, and in 1683 he was ordered to be brought before the 
 Governor, in charge of the constable of Hingham. (Mass. Col. 
 Rec, Vol. I., p. 241.) Two years later he removed to Ports- 
 mouth, R. L, where on 2^ of 11 mo., 1638, he was admitted as 
 a freeholder (Col. Rec, R. L, Vol. L, p. 6;^) at a meeting then 
 held by the General Assembly of the Colony. There were 
 eleven members present besides Adam Mott, and rules were 
 enacted for their government, one of which was "that the 
 judge with the elders shall rule and govern according to the 
 general rule of the word of God, and when they have no 
 particular rule from God's word; by the body proscribed as a 
 direction unto them in the case." Roger Williams sought 
 refuge here two years previous. Quakers were tolerated, and 
 one might have whatever religious views he saw fit. 
 
 Even here he seems to have hesitated about settling, for 
 he was soon ordered to build on land granted him in 1638 
 within six months, or the land would be disposed of by the 
 company. (Col. Rec, R. I., Vol. L, p. 59.) 
 
 In 1638 he and his eldest son John were admitted "to be 
 inhabitants of the island of Aqueedneck (now Rhode Island). 
 He seems now to have fully determined to settle in Ports- 
 mouth, R. I., and on 12 of i mo., 1640, at a session of General 
 Court of Newport, he desired to be reunited to that body and 
 ** was readily embraced by it." 
 
 In 1665 he, and his sons Adam, Jr., John and Jonathan, 
 appear on a roll of freeman at Portsmouth. 
 
 Austin in his Gen. Diet, of R. I., has given us an account 
 of some of Adam Mott's descendants for several generations. 
 
 This Adam Mott left a son Adam, 2d, whom Austin says 
 m. 1647 Mary Lott, and d in Portsmouth in 1673. 
 
 Many conflicting statements have been made concerning 
 this Adam Mott, 2d. Thompson's L. I., Vol. II,. p. 57, says his 
 first wife was Phebe, and that he removed to Hempstead, L. I., 
 in 1665. Savage, Vol. III., p. 247, states his wife was Mary, but 
 does not claim he removed to Long Island. Bolton's West- 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 367 
 
 Chester Co. copies Thompson, while Scharf in his Hist, of 
 West. Co., Vol. I., p. 830, inserts an article written by Win. S. 
 Pelletreau of L. I., wherein it is claimed that both Adam the 
 ist, and his son Adam 2d, of Rhode Island, settled and died 
 upon Long Island, 
 
 All this we must treat as an error, as no records can be 
 found to show that the first Adam Mott of Hempstead was in 
 any way connected with the Motts of Rhode Island, and 
 furthermore the late Thos. C. Cornell of Yonkers, N. Y., in his 
 "Ancestry of Adam and Anne Mott," states "that neither 
 Adam, ist, or his son Adam, 2d, ever came to Hempstead, and 
 that they and their marriages and children can be traced in 
 Massachusetts and Rhode Island till long after the Adam Mott 
 of Hempstead settled there." 
 
 LIEUT. ADAM MOTT (i). 
 
 Ancestor of the Long Island family of that name, came 
 from Essex, Eng., and is probably the Adam who emigrated 
 in the ship "Bevis" in 1638, then aged 19 years, and by pro- 
 fession a taylor. As a possible relative of the Motts of New 
 England, he may have followed them there and perhaps was 
 in Rhode Island where the Indian wars not suiting his fancy, 
 he returned to New Amsterdam where under Gov. Kieft's 
 administration lands were granted to many of the New Eng- 
 land immigrants. 
 
 In 1644 and 1645 he was a witness in the Shepens and 
 Burgomasters Court in New Amsterdam. (See trans, of 
 Dutch Mss. Vol. II., pp. 236-270; Vol. III., pp. 24-265, Albany, 
 N. Y.) 
 
 On 23 Aug., 1646, Gov. Kieft granted him a patent for 25 
 morgans of land (50 acres) on the west side of Mespatches 
 Kills (now Newtown Creek, L. I.), opposite the plantation of 
 Richard Brundel. (Doc. Rel. to Col. Hist., N. Y., Vol. XIV., 
 p. 66.) 
 
 In the year following this grant, he m. on 28 July, 1647, 
 in the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, Jane, dau. of 
 Lewis Hulett of Buckingham, Eng., which record recites that 
 neither had been previously married. (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. 
 Rec, Vol. VI., p. 37.) See under Lewis Hewlett. 
 
 This grant of land he soon conveyed to one Wm. Golding, 
 
368 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 but continued to reside in New Amsterdam where he was 
 engaged in trading, and also as an agent for Richard Smith, 
 as late as 165 1. (See Trans. Dutch Mss., Albany, N. Y.) 
 
 In 1656, he removed to town of Hempstead, L. I., and 
 settled in the village of that name, where he was probably- 
 living when chosen townsman on 17 March, 1657. Feb. 4, 
 1663, he was one of the commissioners who signed the agree- 
 ment between John Scott, president of the English towns of 
 Long Island, and Gov. Stuyvesant to provide for the free 
 intercourse between the inhabitants under the Dutch and the 
 English. (Doc. Rel. to Col. Hist., N. Y., Vol. XIV., p. 544.) 
 
 April 22, 1665, he was commissioned by Gov. Richard 
 Nicolls as Lieut, of the Hempstead Militia. (Liber. 2, p. 26, 
 Conveyances, Sec'y of State's Office, Albany.) 
 
 He m. 2d about 1667, Elizabeth, dau. of Ann Parsons, wife 
 of John Richbell of Westchester Co., by her first husband, 
 Redman. (Descendants of Adam Mott by E. D. Harris.) 
 
 On 23 April, 1669, John Richbell conveyed to John Ryder 
 of N. Y. City, certain lands in Mamaroneck for the support of 
 his present wife Anne, after his decease, etc. It recites that 
 his marriage with her had long since been solomenized. 
 (Liber., 4, p. i, Deeds, Office of Sec'y of State, Albany.) 
 
 Adam Mott's will, dated 12 March, 1681, prob. at Queens 
 Co., April 8, 1690. On 5 April, 1690, his estate was inventoried 
 and valued at ^182.9.6. This will was recorded in N. Y. City, 
 Liber., 3 & 4, p. 129, and as no executor was named, the widow, 
 Elizabeth was appointed administratrix by Gov. Leisler, May 
 12, 1690. 
 
 On Sept. 25, 1 69 1, Adam Mott (the oldest son) was also 
 appointed administrator on the estate, his petition reciting 
 that his father had died intestate. (See Calendar Hist. Mss., 
 part II., p. 217; Liber. 3 & 4, p. 285, N. Y. City.) Then on 
 p. 292, Letters of Administration were granted to Elizabeth 
 Mott, widow, and Adam Mott, eldest son of Adam Mott of 
 Hempstead, reciting "that since Adam Mott appeared for 
 administration and same was granted him, the said Elizabeth 
 has produced a codicil of the same, and the witnesses being 
 present, etc., etc., do grant to said Adam and Elizabeth ad- 
 ministration, and any grant formerly made to said Adam to 
 the contrary notwithstanding," dated at Fort Wm. Henry, 
 30 Oct., 1 69 1 Then on p. 294 is recorded the codicil (so called) 
 
THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 369 
 
 which in all respects is same as the one recorded on p. 129, 
 and was again proved before Richard Ingolsby, 30 Oct., 1691. 
 
 Lieut. Adam Mott in his will describes himself as " about 
 sixty years of age," this places the date of his birth in 1620, 
 which coincides with the birth of Adam Mott of the ship 
 "Bevis." In 1670, Jan. 28, he purchased land of Henry Dis- 
 browe on Madnans Neck (Great Neck), L. I., that was formerly 
 in the possession of Capt. John Seaman, and settled there 
 soon after. 
 
 He d. prior to April, 1690, and his widow Elizabeth m. in 
 1691, Robert Hubbs of Mad Nans Neck. 
 
 Much controversy arose between Elizabeth Hubbs and 
 her "son-in-law Adam Mott, Jr.," as she calls him, concerning 
 her late husband's will, but on 5 Nov., 1691, an agreement was 
 entered into which recites that "the will of her deceased 
 husband Adam Mott shall stand good, etc., etc., in all par- 
 ticulars hereinafter mentioned, etc., etc." This was signed 
 by Elizabeth Hubbs, and her son Richbell Mott (Mott Family 
 Mss.). This agreement gave Adam Mott, "the elder" son, 
 lands on Mad Nans Neck not bequeathed him under the will, 
 which he conveyed on 12 April, 1694, to "the children his 
 deceased father had by his last wife Elizabeth being six in 
 number." (Queens Co. Conveyances, Liber., B, p. 114.) 
 
 On 28 June, 1696, Mary Anna Mott, one of the six children 
 named ("then being of full age"), released her rights under 
 the will to her brothers Richbell, William, Charles and Adam 
 "the younger." 
 
 On 29 Oct., 1703, Elizabeth, another of the six children, and 
 her husband John Okeson, released their rights to same 
 children for ^82. 
 
 In 1707, April 2, a final agreement was made between the 
 four brothers by which Adam, "the younger," William and 
 Richbell received lands on Great Neck, and Charles land on 
 Cow Neck and Rockaway, each one settling on their respective 
 lands excepting Adam, "the younger," who settled on Cow 
 Neck. The latter in 17 15 conveyed his land on Great Neck to 
 his brother William, whose descendants retained the same 
 until 1870, when the old homestead of seven generations 
 passed into the hands of Wm. R. Grace. 
 
 Lieut. Adam Mott, and his neighbor Henry Disbrowe, and 
 Cornelius Mott of Hempstead (whom we cannot trace) were 
 
370 THE JONES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND 
 
 engaged in the growing of tobacco, and between 1660 and 1670 
 each one had during that time tobacco houses on Mad Nans 
 Neck. (B, p. 19, Wills, N. Y. City; Hemp. Records, B, p. 156.) 
 The translations of the Dutch Mss., Albany, N. Y., show him 
 as engaged in some enterprise in the South River (now the 
 Delaware). This was in 165 1, and he was in all probability 
 then buying tobacco which at that period was sold in large 
 quantities by the Long Island traders to the neighboring 
 Dutch plantations. Adam Mott was then living in New Am- 
 sterdam, and occupied with Randel Hunt a house owned by 
 Richard Smith, Jr., son of Richard of Conn. (See Trans. 
 Dutch Mss., part 3, p. 265, N. Y. State Library.) He was 
 commissioned by Gov. Rich'd Nicolls as Lieutenant of the 
 Hempstead Militia on 22 April, 1665. The commission is 
 recorded in Liber., 2, folio 26 of Deeds in Sec'y of State Office, 
 Albany, and also name John Symons (Seaman) as Capt., and 
 John Rushmore as Ensign. 
 
 The old homestead on Mad Nans Neck, where he finally 
 settled and died, and which later became the home of his son 
 William, was purchased on 28 Jan., 1670, of Henry Disbrowe 
 (120 acres, cons. ;!^6i). This was formerly laid out to Capt. 
 John Seaman, who conveyed it to Thos. Seabrooke, 29 Aug., 
 1669, and from him it passed to Disbrowe (original deeds in 
 possession of Mott family).

 he petitioned to be forgiven for selling liquor to the Indians 
 (Col. Hist. Mss., p. 77), and in April of that year he was given 
 a home lot in the town of Hempstead. 
 
 On July 14, 1690, then calling himself of Mamaroneck, he 
 conveyed to his brother Joseph of Hempstead, land at Rock- 
 away, which the latter sold in 1692 to his brother Adam 
 (Hemp. Rec, 1898, Vol. I., p. 54). He appears to have left 
 Long Island about this time and settled in Mamaroneck, 
 where he was captain of a company of militia, and on 10 Feb., 
 1690, was commissioned as Justice (Col. Hist. Mss., p. 194). 
 He ra. (according to Bolton) in 1670, Mary, step-dau. of John 
 Richbell. On 20 Dec, 1670, John and Ann Richbell conveyed 
 to their "son-in-law James Mott, and our daughter Mary, his 
 wife" land in Mamaroneck. There is on file in Albany a 
 marriage license dated 5 Sept., 1670, whereby James Mott is 
 licensed to marry " Mary Redman, daughter-in-law of John 
 Richbell." (See under Lieut. Adam Mott (i).)
