who, it is believed, were born in New Jersey, and he died in his native State; the ancestors were of Scotch descent. Nathan, the father, about 1820, then a young man, emigrated with his mother and her family to Ohio, and located in Warren County; here his mother died May 9, 1847, aged 87 years. Mr. Jones married Margaret Hawkins, by whom he had ten children, two now survive—Nathan and Benjamin F. Mr. Jones was a farmer by occupation, a very unassuming man, never holding or desiring office, but a man of strict integrity, careful, just and exact in all his dealings; commencing in life a poor man, by his own labor and industry he obtained a good competency; was a good neighbor and a worthy citizen. He died July 31, 1865, aged 68 years, his wife is still living, and resides with her son, at Mooresville, Ind. Our subject was married April 29, 1852, to Mary Jane, daughter of Seth and Sarah Cartwright, whose history appears in sketch of Septimus Cartwright in this work; issue, four children, three now survive—Samuel T., born Oct. 12, 1853; Laura J., Oct. 2, 1855, now Mrs. Frank Zell, and John W., born Aug. 29,1866. The maternal grandparents were Isaac and Mary Hawkins, natives of South Carolina, who were among the pioneers settling here in 1803. Mr. Jones has spent his life in this township, devoting his attention to farming as a business; has been a resident on the farm where he now lives about twenty-three years; has erected and remodeled the buildings and made improvements till he now has a very pleasant home and farmer's residence. |
