Notes:

Jones, Thomas, jurist, was born in Fort Neck, Long Island, New York, April 30, 1731; son of Judge David and Anne (Willett) Jones; grandson of Gen. Thomas and Freelove (Townsend) Jones, and great grandson of Thomas Townsend. He was graduated at Yale in 1750; was licensed as an attorney in 1755, and practiced in New York City, 1755-69. He was clerk of Queens County, 1757-73; corporation attorney; judge of the supreme court under the crown, as successor to his father, 1773-76, and was arrested on June 27 of the latter year, by order of the Provincial Congress, for refusing to appear before that body to acknowledge his fealty to the American cause. He was paroled on promising to appear before Congress when directed. He was arrested by an armed force on August 11, taken to New York, arraigned, and his parole declared forfeited. He was sent as a prisoner of war to Connecticut, and was released December, 1776, upon signing a second parole. He remained quietly at his home at Fort Neck until Nov. 6, 1779, when a party of Whigs, under Capt. Daniel Hawley, of Connecticut, forcibly seized and carried him to Connecticut in order to furnish an acceptable exchange for Gen. Gold Selleck Silliman, a college mate of Jones in the class of 1752, held for six months by the British forces a prisoner of war. They were exchanged in April, 1780, and in 1781 Judge Jones removed with his family to England. He planned to return in 1782, but the Act of Attainder passed by the New York legislature prevented. He was a governor of King's College, 1764-80, and attorney for the board of governors. He was married to Anne, daughter of Judge James de Lancey, of New York City, and had no children. They had a city home known as "Mount Pitt," and a spacious residence at Fort Neck, on the Great South Bay, Long Island, named "Tryon Hall," erected in 1770. Judge Jones is the author of: "History of New York During the Revolutionary War," edited by Edmund Floyd de Lancey (1879). He died in Hoddesdon, England, July 25, 1792.
