Jonathan A Jones

Several online Family Trees list Jonathan's parents as Richard Jones and Martha Camp, and his wife as Mary Jones. Verification of these connections has not been found and new research is welcome.

Below is a transcription of documents relating to Jonathan's probate, he presumably died between 1 June, the census day, and October 1840, when his probate is first mentioned. He did not leave a will, dying intestate.
