General Notes: Husband - Thomas M. Jones
He received a good education in the schools of his native land, and remained there until coming to the United States in 1832. He sailed from Liverpool, England, May 9, 1832, and landed at South Amboy, New Jersey, June 13 following. Eleven days later he joined his brother, Rev. Maurice Jones, near Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. Two years later he bought the residence and property of his brother and for forty-four years thereafter lived in that same house. In 1834 he formed a partnership with a Mr. Yenner and established a woolen mill. This partnership existed thirty-seven years, until 1871, when it was dissolved by the sale of Mr. Yenner's interest to the sons of Mr. Jones. This mill was a very profitable enterprise and was the scene of the founders' life work in America.
He was for fifty years, in Wales and Ebensburg, a member of the Welsh Independent or Congregational church, of which his brother, Rev. Maurice Jones, was a devoted minister. He was very charitable and gave his money and time freely to all benevolent institutions, while his private benefactions were numerous. He was a Republican in politics, but did not seek or accept office.
