Notes for Jacob JONES
Little known about early life, but there’s a tradition that he married a Welsh girl, had one child, and his wife died. He came to America and married again. “No positive proof” that Sarah Thompkins is his wife according to Abbott ( [787]) but the Thompkins family genealogy ( [778]) also lists the marriage.
