A genealogy of the Jones family.
Excerpt from Genealogy of the Jones Family: First and Only Book Ever Written of the Descendants of Benajmin Jones, Who Immigrated From South Wales More Than 250 Years Ago It was the practice of Benjamin Jones to ride on horseback to his new settlement. It was deemed in those times very dangerous for a man to emigrate five or ten miles into the forest. If he exceeded that dis tance, his funeral sermon surely would be preached. He died in 1754, 92 years of age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In 1714, he moved his family to Duck Creek, Delaware. He then moved to Haddonfield, New Jersey in 1718, and to Lancaster, County, Pennsylvania in 1726.
