J. T. JONES, son of William and Julia (Kelley) Jones, was born in Barren 
County, March 9, 1835.  His parents were both born and reared in Barren 
County, and had a family of five sons and four daughters.  William Jones 
in early life was a shoe-maker, later a farmer, and died in 1861, aged 
sixty-five years. His father, James Jones, was born in North Carolina, 
and moved with his parents to Virginia, where he married Susan White. He 
was of Irish origin, a farmer and slave owner, and immigrated to and 
settled in the south part of Barren County, Ky., about 1795.  Mrs. Julia 
Jones was born and reared in Barren County, a daughter of Samuel and 
Elizabeth (Coleman) Kelley. Her parents were born in New Jersey and 
Barren County, where he became a farmer in early life; later was one of 
the pioneers of Barren County, where he became a farmer and served as 
justice for many years.  J. T. Jones remained with his parents until he 
became of age, when he engaged at blacksmithing for one year.  January 
7, 1858, he married Zarilda C. Wheeler, of Barren County, a daughter of 
M. E. and Elizabeth J. (Smith) Wheeler. To Mr. and Mrs. Jones five 
children were born, four now living:  James M. H., Lara Jane McIntire, 
America Frances and Zarilda A. T. Mrs. Jones' father, M. E. Wheeler, was 
born in Nelson County, Va. In his younger days he was a teacher; he was 
also a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a farmer and slave 
holder.  He immigrated to Barren County, Ky., in 1836, and settled in 
the south part, where he purchased and improved a farm of 200 acres of 
fine land; he died in 1851, aged forty-four years.  His father, Micajah 
Wheeler, emigrated from England, and settled in Nelson County, Va.  He 
was a farmer and slave owner, and a soldier in the Revolution, and 
married Mollie Emerson. After marriage, Mr. Jones located on Peter's 
Creek as a renter; three years later he purchased 235 acres, where he 
now resides, 140 of which are improved.  He has a comfortable residence, 
and one of the finest springs in the country. Mr. Jones is a natural 
genius, being able to work at anything, and during the war made boots 
and shoes for his family.  He was licensed to preach in 1879 by Rev. Mr. 
McGee.  He is a member of the Masonic farternity, and with his wife was 
a member of the Grange.  Politically he is Democrat, and cast his first 
presential vote for Buchanan.
