....concerning Margaret Jones. I sure would like to find a marriage record or other evidence concerning the identity of Margaret Jones. It is apparent, however, that she was indeed the mother of Christopher Hinton's children based on Bristol Parish records I've not personally seen. The preponderance of second-hand evidence I've seen on the internet suggests that she was the daughter of Peter Jones and Mary Batte. This means she was the sister of the Peter Jones after whom Petersburg, Virginia was named. This also means that she was descended from the Batte family, which, because of its descent from nobility, is a genealogical goldmine! Precisely because of there being multiple Peter Jones, as you pointed out, it seems there's been a lot of confusion about Margaret's ancestors. She was the granddaughter of Peter Jones and Margaret Wood; hence the name Wood passed down through the Hintons and allied families for the next two hundred years. Some theorize that Margaret Wood was not the daughter of Abraham Wood but his step-daughter. The fact remains, however, that Abraham Wood was wealthy enough and influential enough that the Hintons wanted to be associated with his name. Careful study of the known birth, marriage and death dates for the Jones and Woods and Battes mentioned above convinces me that Margaret Jones was indeed the daughter of Mary Batte and the granddaughter of Margaret (Wood).
