Caldwell Co.

WILLIAM C. JONES, of Caldwell County, was born in London, Middlesex Co.,
England, December 22, 1809, and is a son of Augustus and Mary (Bosley) 
Jones, also natives of England.  The father was a trained soldier in the
British army, and served as captain in the Fifth Lancers, under 
Wellington.  He was wounded at the battle of Waterloo; was placed on the
pension roll, and finally died in April, 1812, aged seventy-two years; 
his widow died in April, 1820, aged sixty years.  William C. Jones 
remained with his parents until he was fourteen years of age, and then
attended two sessions at Eton College.  In 1830 he came to America and
settled in Caldwell County, Ky.  He immediately entered upon his 
profession, teaching his first school three miles east of Princeton.  For
over fifty years this veteran educator has directed the minds of the 
youth of Caldwell County and other counties.  His head has grown gray and
his steps tottering in following his work in the school room, and he can
look back over a course strewn with many pleasant deeds and recollections.
His first pupils were those men who are to-day numbered among the pioneers
of this county, while since then their children and grandchildren have in
turn been his pupils, and now, as his life work is nearing its end, he 
can feel sure that his example has accomplished good in nearly every 
family in the county.  Mr. Jones was married in October, 1844, to 
Elizabeth, daughter of Tighlman and Catherine Martin, of Fauquier County,
Va.  The result of this union has been four children: H.M., Mary C., 
(deceased), Sarah m. (wife of Prof. E. Lee Blanton), and William J.  
Subject was elected school commissioner in Caldwell County, in 1874, and
served two years.  He also served as examiner previous to the time that
the office of school commissioner was created.  He is identified with 
the Princeton Presbyterian Church South, and in politics affiliated
with the Democratic party.
