Vanian and Captain Sensible — who was born Raymond Burns — are authorities on such matters, since the Damned were the U. With original guitarist Brian James and drummer Rat Scabies, and alongside the Sex Pistols, Clash and Buzzcocks, they helped pioneer the cutting, manic sound that defined a cultural movement in the country four decades ago. When James quit, The Damned Sensible moved from bass to guitar and the band created a new sound that split the difference between the genre they helped create and the keyboard-saturated Nuggets comp for another classic LP, Machine Gun Etiquettecatapulting them into the U. Before the tour started, Vanian and Captain Sensible participated in extensive interviews with Rolling Stone to look back on just how they got here. Dave Vanian: It was at an Irish The Damned with a small stage in Kilburn, where we supported a folk band called Salt. It was an The Damned bizarre place. They had a three-legged attack dog behind the bar. We played our whole set regardless. Were you wearing your vampiric makeup then? Vanian: I looked like that before I was in the band.

    Descendants of William Jones Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM1 JONES Notes for WILLIAM JONES: JONES FAMILY LINEAGE COMPILED BY MITCHELL JONES •http://www.dmitchelljones.org/index.html (Some information compiled by Audrey J. Denny Lambert & Henry Claren "Hank" Jones Jr. and other Jones family members) WilliamA•1 Jones, b Bet. 1633 • 1644 probably England; d aft. January 16, 1665/66 liaison with Ruth Colledge or Gulledge b Bet. 1637 • 1647 probably England; d by 5 Sep 1694 in Sussex County. Sometime prior to 23 May 1663 William Jones was transported to Accomack County, Virginia as an indentured servant by Devorax Browne, for Browne was granted 1500 acres of land in Accomack County, Virginia, on 17 August 1663 for transporting several people including William Jones and Ruth Colledge or Gulledge. William was in Accomack County by 23 May 1663 if he is the one in court orders which was of unsound mind and not capable of making bargains. William was in Accomack County Court on 19 January 1663/4 charged with fornication with a fellow servant Ruth (Ruth Colledge or Gulledge). We suspect that this charge was made because Ruth was pregnant and that the pregrancy led to the birth of John Jones. Ruth Colledge was pregnant by 17 August 1663 as Devorax Browne made complaint to the court that she was pregnant and that she refused to name the father. The Court sent her to house of correction for a month and to pay court costs. The court on 17 November 1665 ordered that William be given 29 lashes on his bare back for his incorrigible behavior and apparently Thomas Roberts thought this punishment was too severe.
