C A n ,,.. -1. r. r. .-1. I> ~: R J u ::- 1, s TO MY DJtSCENDANTS THIS HISTORY OF THEIR ANCESTORS IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY CADWALLADER JON!tS 1899 FORE-WORD This volume of family history was written by my father, Col. Cadwallader Jones, and left by him in rough manuscript. He compiled it from data, notes, and per­ sonal reminiscences, collected by him during the greater part of his life, especially the last few years, and with untiring patience and wonderful system recorded and classified. I trust that any omissions or incorrect detail of data which may occur in this book will be excused by its readers, as his life was not spared long enough to com­ plete the work as fully as he wished and intended. In the history of his immediate family, he gives a sketch of his own life with the rest, but with his usual modesty made it very short and unpretentious-I add a few extracts from some of the notices of him in the p;tpers at the time of his death : "Columbia, S. C., December 1, 18g9. Col. Cadwallader Jones died early this morning-full of years and honors he passed away. Although 86 years old, Col. Jones has been always the picture of health, and it was only during the past week or two that his physical powers began to fail and his family and friends to realize that it was but a question of a short time when his brave spirit would re­ turn to the God who gave it." "December 3d. The funeral services of the late Col. Jones were held yesterday afternoon at Trinity Church. The attendance was very large, showing the high esteem V in which this distinguished gentleman ·was held in Colum­ bia. A striking sight was the long procession of children and kindred that followed the bier of Col. Jones on foot from the home of his daughter, 1Irs. T. C. Robertson, into the church. There were eight sons and daughters, and perhaps twenty grand-children. "The members of Camp Hampton, U. C. V., turned out in a body to attend the services, and the Confederate Camp at Rock Hill, of which he was Commander, sent an hon~rary delegation, bearing a handsome floral offer­ ing from his old comrades. Inside the casket was placed three roses, one which was transplanted in 1780 from the garden at ':\It. Gallant,' the home of Col. Jones' great­ grand-father, Gen. Allen Jones, in eastern North Caro­ lina; one from the garclens of his wife's father! Gov.. Iredell, of Raleigh, N. C., which he has carried around with him since 1840, and another, contributed by a friend, which was grown from a bud that rested on the pulseless heart of John C. Calhoun." "Though in later years, owing to age, Col. Cad. Jones has not been prominently connected with public affairs, yet for more tha:ti a quarter of a century he was foremost in serving the interests of his State. He was always true and enthusiastic in every cause he espoused, entering the many contests which were presented with all the spirit, zeal and earnestness, always so characteristic of his. nature. When the Confederate War broke out, he organ­ ized a company of volunteers at Rock Hill, was elected Captain, and when the 12th Regiment was organized he was made Major; and after the battle of Sharpsburg he became Colonel. He bore with honor throughout the war the old sword worn by his father in the War of 1812, vi and his grand-father in the Revolution. * * * The greater part of his life in South Carolina was spent at his hospitable home in Rock Hill, where he sought retirement from the excitement of political strife, and preferred the peace and quiet of his home circle and his many friends. He was a slave-owner and a planter on an extensive scale." The vestry of the "Church of Our Saviour," at Rock Hill, in a memorial to him, says: "This noble old man and his beloved wife were the first Episcopalians in this section. They were the first to organize the church here, and with zeal and love to work for its upbuilding. * * * We thank our Heavenly Father for the good example of these saints and for the privilege of worshipping with them at the same altar. Col. Jones was a leading citizen, a brave officer in the Confederate War, but above all, he was a Christian gentleman." A. I. ROBERTSON. Columbia, S. C., April ro, 1900. vii A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY \\·e ought to keep before us the memory of our fathers. To this end it seems proper that I, the oldest living son of the Jones family of Roanoke, Va., should record what I know of them, for the information of those who bear their name or inherit their blood. This I propose briefly to do, making record also of the families \\rith whom they intermarried. As we like to trace the waters of rivers to their source among the hills and mountains, so I hope the descendants of those fam­ ilies may be interested in tracing their lineage to as remote an ancestry as is now permitted. In this effort we can only essay to rival the hunter who brings home a good bag of birds, not hoping to catch all that are in the woods. There were in Virginia at an early period of the settle­ ment of that colony, t\vo Jones families, both of-Welsh extraction and connected in the old country-one known as the Robert Jones, and the other as the Peter or Cad­ wallader Jones family. These, after a long residence in Virginia, were united by the intermarriage of :Maj. Allen Jones Green and Lucy Pride Jones, daughter of Maj. Cadwallader Jones, the 23d October, 1804, and further by the marriage of Frederick L. J. Pride, son of Maj. C. Jones, with Amaryllis Sitgreaves, grand-daughter of Gen. Allen Jones, the 27th June, 1811, and further still by the marriage of Col. Cadwallader Jones to Rebecca E. Long, grand-daughter of Gen. Allen Jones. The name Jones is Welsh, and is derived from John. The Welsh had no surname until compelled by Parlia- ment. Then they took their father's name £or their sur­ name. Thus Robert ap John, or Robert son of John, became Robert John or Johns, and by inserting e for eu­ phony, became Johnes or Jones. RoBERT JoNES.-About the middle of the 17th century, Robert Jones of \Vales came to Virginia as boatswain on a British man-of-war. Falling in love with a Norfolk "damsel," as tradition names her, while the ship lay off Old Point Comfort, he leaped overboard the night previ­ ous to sailing and swam ashore to his betrothed. They soon after married and settled near Norfolk. There were several children the fruits of this marriage, among them Robert Jones, second of the name. He was a planter in Surrey County, and was the father of Robert, called Robin Jones, third of the name, and of John and Nathaniel Jones, and others not remembered. John had two daugh­ ters, Patsey and Elizabeth ; the first married William Daniel, and was the mother of Hon. Jos. I. Daniel, Asso­ ciate Justice of the Supreme Court, and of Hon. J. R. J. Daniel, of North Carolina, member of Congress from Halifax District, and Attorney General of the State. Elizabeth was the mother of William Gray, of Randolph County, Va. Nathaniel Jones lived in Wake County, N. C., and was frequently member of the House and. Senate. His first term in the House was in 1787, and in the Senate in 1801. Kimbro Jones, a descendant of this Nathaniel, was a man of influence in the County of Wake, niember of Assembly 1819, member of the Convention in 1835 which revised the Constitution of the State. Robert, or Robin Jones, third of the name, moved to North Carolina as agent or attorney of John Cartaret; Earl of Granville, one of the eight Lords Proprietors. The rule of these Proprietors was overthrown 1719. The surrender of their charters was in 1727. Lord Granville refused to join in this surrender, whereupon it was agreed 2 1-!. I• HI·. RT ·' I RC I Hf X j I) X 1-: ~ between him and the King that he should have about one­ half of the State of ~·forth Carolina, but was to have no political authority. This agreement was in 1744. Robin Jones was a lawyer of eminent ability; was edu­ cated in England. where he attracted the attention of Granville, was appointed Attorney General for the Crmvn for North Carolina in 1761, as appears in a dispatch from Gov. Dobbs in Rolls office, London. Willie Jones, in a letter to his son, then a youth at college, dated March 1, 1798, says of him: "I not only wish that you should equal your companions and excel myself in all useful know­ ledge, but that you should rival your grand-father, Robert Jones, who was in point of genius a model indeed!" This was never intended to see the light, and was acci­ dentally discovered in an old file of letters, all the more to be appreciated. By his profession and as agent of his Lordship and attorney for the Crown, he rapidly acquired wealth, and became probably the largest landed proprie­ tor on the Roanoke.

In 1764 Davie moved with his family to the Waxhaw region near Lancaster, South Carolina, where his maternal uncle was minister of the Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Meeting House. Davie’s wife was the former Sarah Jones of Halifax, daughter of the leading anti-Federalist Willie Jones [5]. They were the parents of six children. Graduating from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1776, Davie returned home to fight for the Patriot cause. Seriously wounded in 1779, he retired for a time from military activity to read law under Judge Spruce Macay [6] in Salisbury. Returning to battle with the approach of Cornwallis’ army, Davie served as commissary general under Nathanael Greene during the last stages of the Revolution. After the war, Davie moved to Halifax to practice law. In 1784-1785 he represented nearby Northampton County [7] in the state House; from 1786 through 1798 he served as a representative for the town of Halifax.

  • The Grand Lodge Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons North Carolina Board of Custodians and Certified Lecturer Historical Overview
    The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina Board of Custodians and Certified Lecturer Historical Overview 1902-2016 (11th Printing) The following information is a historical overview of the Board of Custodians, with additional historical facts concerning the Certified Lecturer Program. While some of the information in this document dates back as early as 1836, the majority of this overview is focused on the beginning of the Board starting with the first resolution introducing its inception in 1902 and the start of the Certified Lecturer Program as we know it today. The first part of this overview focuses on the beginnings of the Board of Custodians. The Board of Custodians officially began with approval by the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina at its Annual Communication on January 15, 1903. The information contained within the contents of this overview was gathered from the many reports and various other sources of information contained in the Annual Proceedings of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina from 1868 through 2007. Prior to 1902, several qualified Lecturers oversaw the Work and Ritual of Freemasonry. In researching information prior to 1900, there was insufficient clarity as to who and when Lecturers were commissioned. Some years it was quite evident, while other years made no mention of Lecturers or specific appointments. Some of the more interesting facts noted during this time period were as follows; it was suggested as early as 1838 that the state be divided into seven districts and a Grand Lecturer appointed to each.

  • Anti-Federalists
    Published on NCpedia (https://www.ncpedia.org) Home > Anti-Federalists Anti-Federalists [1] Share it now! To Which is Prefixed the Said Constitution. [2]Anti-Federalists by David A. Norris, 2006 During the debates over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in the late 1780s, supporters and opponents of the Constitution evolved into two opposing political parties. Those who endorsed the Constitution were soon called Federalists; those who opposed it or favored waiting until the document was revised to address their concerns about preserving individual rights were termed Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists only became a party when the Constitution was being voted on by the states and it ended soon after opposition to ratification ceased, but the roots of the party went back for many years. Many Anti-Federalists preferred a weak central government because they equated a strong government with British tyranny. Others wanted to encourage democracy and feared a strong government that would be dominated by the wealthy. They felt that the states were giving up too much power to the new federal government. Another major objection was the lack of guarantees of individual rights in the Constitution as it then stood. Until the adoption of the Bill of Rights in December 1791, there was no right of trial by jury or freedom of assembly, speech, religion, or the press. North Carolina was strongly Anti-Federalist. Most citizens were small farmers who, while self-reliant and independent, were also by and large provincial and uneducated. They were concerned with their families, crops, and local matters; they gave little thought to the other states or foreign countries; and they were content with the weak government of the Confederation.

    Ten Men of High Office in Revolutionary North Carolina, 1777-1783. A Test of the Martin Thesis in Men in Rebellion by Karl RoDABAUGH* I Not long after the events at Lexington and Concord, writers began presenting different explanations of the outbreak of the American Revolu­ tion and of the changes it wrought in American life. This trend has been continued by modern historians who have long debated the causes and consequences of the Revolution. In the twentieth century, the debate has mostly been between historians of two main schools: the "Progressives" and the "Counter-Progressives" (also known as the "Consensus" histo­ rians). The "Progressives" -foremost among them being J. Franklin Jame­ son and Merrill Jensen - have contended that the Revolution, although growing out of the American elite's determination to preserve its political rights within the British system, resulted in many significant social and economic changes in American life. At first the controversy centred on the American elite's protests against the changing nature of British imperial government, but a democratic upsurge in America soon forced the battle for home rule to divide time with a new struggle between the American elite and the American common people over who would rule at home. Radicals and conservatives soon confronted each other, joining with men of like political persuasion to fight for control of the new American govern­ ments. In 1789 the conservatives won a temporary victory by securing ratification of the United States Constitution - a basically conservative document. 1 Although Jameson and Jensen have treated broad national themes, other historians have applied the "Progressive" interpretation to develop­ ments in the individual states.

  • Introduction to the Actions of the States in Calling for a Convention
    Introduction to the Actions of the States in Calling for a Convention Members of Congress agreed early in 1786 that the central government needed more power, but the question, as James Monroe explained to James Madison, “is whether it will be better to correct the vices of the Confederation by recommendation gradually as it moves along, or by a Convention.” By March 1786 some members of Congress were ready to propose a “general convention.” Charles Pinckney told Congress in May that the federal government would fall unless Congress acquired more power and that the states must be told that it was necessary to call a convention for the purpose, or that they must grant the power to Congress. James Monroe spoke for those opposed to a convention when he replied that Congress had the right to compel the states to comply when it acted according to the powers given it by the Articles of Confederation and that therefore “he saw no occasion of a convention.” The outcome of the debate was that Congress decided to draft amendments to the Articles of Confederation rather than to call a convention. Shortly thereafter, the delegates who had met at Annapolis to consider a grant of commercial power to Congress called upon the states to send delegates to a convention in May 1787 to consider measures “to render the constitution of the Foederal Government adequate to the exigencies of the Union; and to report such an Act for that purpose to the United States in Congress Assembled, as when agreed to, by them, and afterwards confirmed by the Legislatures of every State will effectually provide for the same.” The report was laid before Congress in October, but the Massachusetts and certain other delegates blocked congressional approval.
