"HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES"

JONES, JEHU B., was born in 1813, in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, and was but two years old when his parents, Jehu Jones, Sr., and Jane (Kilpatrick), settled on the farm now held by the heirs of S. C. Dick. This farm had then about fifteen acres partly cleared; here these pioneers lived until 1844, when mother Jones, and, ten years later, father Jones, were called to rest.

Jehu B. married Miss Rebecca Goodin, March, 1846 [18 Mar 1845], and still resides on the farm adjoining the ancestral homestead---his wife died in 1866, leaving two sons; David, who resides in Blackford Co., IN and who is married to Miss Addie Shull, now the mother of two daughters, and George M., who is single, and remains with his father. There are two daughters, Phidelia, the wife of Charles Stickel, a successful tanner and currier, near Somerset, blessed with four sons and one daughter, and Miss Mary, who shares with her brother, George, and her father, the comforts and the cares of the homestead.
