Notes:

Thomas Jones, immigrant, was born in Strabane, county Ulster, Ireland, in 1665. His ancestors came from the north of Wales. He was a soldier in the civil wars of Ireland, being an adherent of James II, and took part in the battles of the Boyne, Aghrim and Limerick, 1690-91. For his services in the battle of the Boyne he received from the king a commission to cruise against Spanish merchantmen, and in this way acquired considerable wealth. With his letter of marque he landed and settled on Great South bay on the island of Nassua, afterward Long Island, where he was married to Freelove, daughter of Thomas Townsend, and received as a marriage dowry from his wife's father a large tract of land on the bay known as Fort Neck, and by subsequent purchases from the Indians he became owner of 6000 acres extending across the island. In 1696 he built near the mouth of the Massapequa river the first brick house in that neighborhood, which stood for 140 years and was known to travelers as the "old brick house." He was admitted an assistant freeholder in 1699 under the Oyster Bay patent of 1677 and in 1702 became captain of the militia of Queens County, by appointment of Governor Cornbury. He was high sheriff of the county, 1704-13; was promoted to the rank of major in the militia in 1706, and was commissioned "ranger - general of the island of Nassau" in 1710, which gave him the monopoly of the fisheries of the entire shores east of Jamaica and Little Neck bays and of all lands within the same limits not then granted to settlers. He died at Fort Neck, Long Island, Dec. 13, 1713.

Notes:

He was a Judge of the Supreme Court of the colony. He died October 11, 1775. He inherited the estate, which he left to his son Thomas for life, with remainder to his daughter Arabella, in case of failure of issue to Thomas. In the Revolution, Thomas, remaining loyal, was attainted, and his property confiscated, and Arabella, wife of Richard Floyd, succeeded to it. Her son, David Richard Floyd, added the name Jones to his own, and his descendants still retain the property [in 1864] and the double name. -- The Townsend Memorial, p. 124.
