      1. Art Sikes, 1175 River Blvd, Suffield, CT 06078, 860-668-0414, ArtSikes@aol.com. 29 Sep 2007:
      A. "Samuel Townsend Jones, b. Hebron, Ct; son of John Jones & Amy Phelps; m. 17 Feb 1817, Hartland, Ct, Irene M. Church; d. 17 Nov 1830, Hartland, Ct.
      Children:
      1. Abishai Church Jones, b. ca. 1818, Hartland, Ct; d. 2 Sep 1823, Hartland, Ct.
      2. Townsend Jones, b. ca. 1819, Hartland, Ct; d. 17 Feb 1839, Hartland, Ct.
      3. Sarah Ann Jones, b. ca. 1825, Hartland, Ct; d. 30 Oct 1834, Hartland, Ct.
      [Art references the following for documentation: Connecticut Church Records, Hartland-First Congregational 1768-1913, Conn. State Library, Hartford.]."
      B. "The wills of John Jones & Ama Jones are recorded next to each other in the Simsbury Probate record, the probate district for Hartland at that time, they are dated 1811. In the wills the following children are mentioned: Samuel Townsend Jones, Thomas Phelps Jones, Charles Phelps Jones, granddaughters namely Anna Jones, and Sarah Jones, the last two being the daughters of Timothy Jones, none of his daughters are mentioned in the will."

      2. The book "History of Hartland, the 69th Town in the Colony of Connecticut," comp. by Stanley A. Ransom, 1961, CT. Hist. Soc., p. 127 lists John Jones as part of the Hartland men who fought in the French and Indian Wars. It also indicates that he also fought in the War of the Revolution. Listed with him are also Asa Jones (fought both wars) and Israel Jones (fought F/I war only.) The list was prepared by the Town Clerk and Historian for Hartland. Also noted as men serving in the Old Continental Army of the Revolutionary War:
      Israel Jones, Jr. as the highest ranking officer of Colonel.
      Israel Jones Sr. was a Captain (BEH 35-36)
      Samuel Jones was a Lieutenant (BEH 36)
      Asa Jones was a Sergeant (BPM)
      Privates:
      Asahel Jones (BPM)
      Asa Jones (BPM)
      Benoni Jones (BPM)
      Charles Jones (EH 195)
      John Jones (EH 107)
      Thomas Jones (BEH 36)

      3. US Censuses (note that the censuses don't make good sense except perhaps the 1810 so far, but it has too early a marriage to fit Art Sikes work.):
      1810 US: Hartland, Hartford, Connecticut:
      Samuel Jones, males: 3 under 10, 1@26-44; females: 2 under 10, 1@26-44.
      Timothy Jones (21 families away from Samuel), males: 1 under 10, 1@10-15, 1@16-25, 1@26-44; females: 1@10-15, 1@16-25, 1@26-44.
      John Jones (next door to Timothy), males: 1@45+; females: 1@45+.
      Charles Jones (next door to Timothy), males: 4 under 10, 1@45+; females: 2@10-15, 1@16-25, 1@26-45.

      1820 US: Hartland, Hartford, Connecticut, 5 pages, all Jones in Hartland:
      Timothy Jones, males: 2 under 10, 1@16-26, 1@45+; females: 1@16-26, 1@26-45.
      Charles Jones (4 doors away from Timothy), males: 1 under 10, 2@10-16, 1@16-26; 1@45+; females: 2@16-26, 1@26-45, 1@45+.
      Samuel T. Jones (3 doors away from Charles), males, 1 under 10, 1@26-45; females: 1@16-26.

      1830 US: Hartland, Hartford, Connecticut, p. 15 of 16, all Jones for this township:
      Charles Jones, males: 1@15-20, 1@20-30, 1@70-80; females:1@30-40, 1@60-70, 1@80-90.
      Timothy Jones (2 doors from Charles), males: 1@20-30, 1@30-40; females: 1@30-40. [Note that the parents appear too young - is this a different Timothy?]
      Samuel T. Jones (4 doors from Timothy), males: 1 under 5, 1@5-10, 1@30-40; females: 1 under 5, 1@30-40. [Samuel and wife appear too young - a different Samuel?]
      Roderick Jones (4 doors from Samuel), males: 2 under 5, 1@30-40; females: 1 under 5, 1@30-40. [Son of Charles.]

      BIRTH:
      1. LDS IGI reports a member submitted additional child to John Jones and Amy Phelps named David Jones b. ca 1754 with absolutely no other information. I have found no other reference to a David in any other record. I suspect that the estimated date of 1754 for the unproven David was selected by the contributor since it fell into a gap between known birth dates of 1752 and 1756. If one accepts Eunice as a daughter of John and Amey as do I in 1750, then the known child Samuel Jones only fits in with a birth of 1754 [the Hebron records do not have his birth recorded like the other children.] All the other Hebron records have children born from 1748 to 1760 in two year increments with no entry for 1754. There is a possibility Samuel was born from 1762 to 1765 or after 1767 since there is also a big gap from known children's births of 1760 and 1767. The censuses below don't seem to support an older Samuel except the 1810; however, that census shows Samuel married with children before his marriage of 1817. There is a however a burial for a Samuel Jones in East Hartland as noted below that would indicate an age old enough to have fought in the Rev. War.

      BURIAL:
      1. Assuming we are talking about the same Samuel, there is Ancestry.com's "Abstract of Graves of the Revolutionary Patriots," v. 2: "Samuel Jones, East Hartland, CT, 56."
