From "THE HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF THE JERSEY SETTLERS OF ADAMS COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI" Vol II page 401:

John Jones was educated at William & Mary College and in 1768, married Anna Brown, daughter of Abraham Brown. At the breaking of the Revolutionary War, the family was found in South Carolina on the Great Pee Dee River about sixty miles from Charleston. John Jones ardently espoused the cause of the Revolutionists. He enlisted in the army, served three campaigns under General Francis Marion and was also in the siege of Charleston. The name of John Jones appears on the marble tablet in the Wren Building of William & Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia, listing the known members of the College in the Revolution. John Jones is identified as being from Dinwiddie County, Virginia. (Approved DAR line).

At the close of the war, Richard Curtis, Sr. and his family, John Jones and his family, sons and daughters and their families, emigrated to the Mississippi Territory, joined the Jersey Settlers in the Natchez Country, settled on Fairchild's Creek. John Jones is buried at a place called Forty Hills Plantation.
