A sketch of the Jones Family and a History of the Descendants of

Philip Jones of Franklin County Indiana

By Sarah E Jones Furry of Vinton, Iowa

(Italics mine...added for clarity, nce)

Efforts have been made to include in this book an account of every one of the descendants of Philip and Elizabeth Dowdon Jones.  so think the number not included is comparatively small, and in the arrangement of the genealogy we have tried to group families as much as possible.

Each descendant is marked in this way (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) and (6). Philip and Elizabeth Dowdon Jones (1) - Philip and Sarah Crosley Jones (2) and so on down the line. Blank pages are left for additional births and deaths.

My (Sarah E Jones Furry's) Great Grandparents were Philip and Elizabeth Dowdon Jones (1). The Jones's were of Welsh descent. The family lived in Washington County, Maryland, near Hagarstown, between it and Harper's Ferry.

Philip Jones(1) was born July 12^th 1752. Elizabeth Dowdon, his wife, August 16^th, 1752. the children of this couple were:

 1. Susan (2) Jones

 2. Sarah (2) Jones

 3. Martha (2) Jones

 4. Nancy (2) Jones

 5. Abraham (2) Jones

 6. Mary (2) Jones

 7. Benjamin (2) Jones

 8. Philip (2) Jones

 9. Elizabeth (2) Jones

10. John (2) Jones

     There are doubtless errors and omissions in the work. If all persons discovering such will kindly correct them in their own books, and kindly notify me that I may correct those that are put in other libraries, they will be better authority for coming generations.  

     Spaces for deaths and additional births have been left to be used if desired. (dates have been added in italics were possible)
Hoping this may prove a source of great pleasure to the readers,

The Jones family left their Maryland home for Ohio in May 1796, in a Colony raised by a Dr. Smith of Washington D. C. Each family of the Colony deposited with Dr. Smith $300.00. He preceded the Colony the year before and bought a tract of land from the Siamese Purchase, located between the two Miamies, near Cincinnati, Ohio, for this Colony. As there were no railroads in those days, the Colony traveled overland in wagons, destined for Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where it had been planned previously to proceed down the Ohio River to the vicinity of Cincinnati.

After the Colony was well on its way, stories of the depredations and cruelties of the Indians became so frequent that several of the families concluded to stop until the Indians became less troublesome. The Jones family stopped near Connensville, Fayette County Pennsylvania, and remained there until the spring of 1801, when they proceeded down the Ohio, landing at Columbus, a suburb of Cincinnati, May 2^nd, 1801.

They remained here during the summer and winter of that year, while the fathers and sons located a tract of land in the vicinity, and built a good substantial log house, and in the spring of 1802 the family moved out to it. This new home became known as Mount Lookout, a beautiful farm overlooking Cincinnati.

The four sons of the Jones family settled later in Franklin County, Indiana. near Brookville, and they with their sons became successful farmers.

1. The parents, Philip(1) and Elizabeth Dowdon Jones, died at Mount Lookout, Ohio August 20, 1828 and October 1, 1831 respectively.  They were both more than eighty years of age when death came. They left numerous descendants now living in Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa

A copy of the Jones Family Bible is in the possession of Zachary Taylor Jones, a grandson of Abraham Jones now living at College Corner, Ohio.

Philip Jones (2), my grandfather, was born in Maryland, February 18, 1789. He was the eighth child of Philip and Elizabeth Dowdon Jones. He was a soldier in the War of 1812 and was in General Hulls Surrender. He with his parents came to Ohio in May, 1801. He later went to Franklin County Indiana, where he bought land of the Government.

Sarah Crosley was born in Pennsylvania, January 18, 1797, and with her fathers family, moved near Columbus, Ohio, 1809, where she lived and taught school until May 25,1816, when she married Philip(2) Jones, and went with him to this farm where they raised their family and died.

I,(Sarah E. (Jones), Furry) with by brother and daughter visited this home in 1902. It was the most beautiful place I ever saw. The house was made of frame and brick, the brick being brought from England. The brick part was the house their family was raised in. My father's youngest brother owned the farm at this time.

The children of this couple (Philip(2) and Sarah Crosley Jones) were six:

1. Eliza (3) Jones born 18^th March 1821, She died when about twelve years.
2. James Dowdon (3) Jones, Born 24^th April 1823.
3. Ross C (3) Jones Born 3rd March, 1827.
4. William L (3) Jones Born 23rd April, 1829
5. Sarah Bradford (3) Jones Born 12th April, 1832.
6. Philip Tenley (3) Jones Born  21st November, 1834.

2. James Dowdon (3) Jones, Born 24^th April 1823. Married first, Mary Gibson.

To this union three children were born.

Children of James Dowden(3) Jones and Mary Gibson.

The mother (Mary (Gibson) Jones) died when Ross was born in Decatur County near Greensburg, Indiana.  James Dowden Jones was then married to Hester Jones, the widow of Noah Ross of Indiana, who had one daughter, Mary Sussana Ross, Born Feb.@, 1847 and died Feb 2 1891, at Mt Auburn.

James Dowdon (3) Jones married the second time to Hester (Jones) Ross, near Vinton, Benton County, Iowa. She was the daughter of Hugh and Mary Douglas Jones. She was born in Indiana, Dec. 9, 1830, and in 1853 came to Iowa and was married to James D. Jones. I think in 1856, and soon after their marriage moved back to Indiana, where he owned a farm and where they lived for two years.  They then moved back to Iowa. They bought a farm in Benton County north of Vinton, only lived there for a short time, then moved near Center Point, where he had previously bought a Sawmill.  He had only lived there about two years when he enlisted. He did not pass the examinations and was later drafted.  In riding in all kind of weather settling up his business and moving the family back to his Bear Creek farm he contracted a severe cold that soon developed into pneumonia, and was very sick when time came for him to go with his regiment.  He was unconscious when put on the train at Cedar Rapids. Was put in a hospital at Camp McClellen. Was there three months and was discharged on account of disability. He only had one lung.  On his return home he moved the Saw mill up to his farm and continued to live on this place till the Spring of 1880 when he sold the farm and moved to Holt County Nebr. Here he took a Homestead and lived seven or eight years.  He disposed of his property there and went to Missouri with a view of buying land. He took sick after going there, and in a very short time went to Mt. Auburn, Iowa, to be with his wife at the home of their daughter.  He got there (to Mt. Auburn, Iowa ) Thurs.
