  • The Descendants of Gabriel Jones of Essex and Culpeper Counties By
    THE DESCENDANTS OF GABRIEL JONES OF ESSEX AND CULPEPER COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. by Mildred Conway Jones 1 2 FOREWORD This document has been retyped (using a computer scanner and editor) from a copy of the manuscript that was written by Mildred Conway Jones in about 1949. The purpose of this effort is to provide a document that can be updated easily with corrections and additions to the Gabriel Jones descendant tree. Sarah Carter Jones Rogallo February 1997 Refomatted using OpenOffice March 2011 3 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to acknowledge gratefully the valuable assistance of Margaret Jones (Mrs. Frank Westfall) Dearduff, of Parkville, Missouri, who prepared the data on the Illinois branch of the Robert Jones line, assisted in collecting material included in Generations I and II, and so ably typed the manuscript. To Anne Elliott (Mrs. Arthur Lee) Odell, 443 S. Roosevelt Avenue, Pasadena, California, also goes grateful appreciation for collaborating on the sketch of Robert Jones and for the line of Elizabeth Ashby Jones. 5 6 THE DESCENDANTS OF GABRIEL JONES OF ESSEX AND CULPEPER COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. The origins of this particular Jones family are not known, the first definitely identified being Gabriel Jones of Essex County, Virginia, who emigrated to Culpeper County in 1744. The Reverend Clayton Torrence, of the Virginia Historical Society, who did research for Mrs. William Green Poindexter of Greenwood, Mississippi, suggests that the above Gabriel is probably a descendant of Richard Jones of York County, will dated March 28, 1660, (York Records, Book 3, p. 98), who was survived by wife, Elizabeth, sons Gabriel and Richard, and daughters not named.

    LAIR: A Language for Automated Semantics-Aware Text Sanitization based on Frame Semantics Steffen Hedegaard, Søren Houen, Jakob Grue Simonsen Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen (DIKU) Universitetsparken 1, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø Denmark [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—We present LAIR: A domain-specific language that enables users to specify actions to be taken upon meeting specific semantic frames in a text, in particular to rephrase and redact the textual content. While LAIR presupposes superficial knowledge of frames and frame semantics, it requires only limited prior programming experience. We have implemented a LAIR compiler and integrated it in a pipeline for automated redaction of web pages. We detail our experience with au- tomated redaction of web pages for subjectively undesirable content; initial experiments suggest that using a small language based on semantic recognition of undesirable terms can be highly useful as a supplement to traditional methods of text sanitization.
