• Gabriel Jones (May 17, 1724 – October 1806) was an 18th-century Welsh American lawyer, legislator, court clerk and civil servant in the colony (and later U.S. state) of Virginia. .... etc.
• Gabriel Jones was born on May 17, 1724[1][2][3] approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) from Williamsburg,[1][2][3][4] in York County, Colony of Virginia.[2] He was a son of John and Elizabeth Jones,[1][2][3] who had arrived in Virginia several years earlier from Montgomeryshire in northern Wales, Great Britain,[1][2][3] where Jones's family was of noble descent.[3] Jones's father was a weaver.[5] Jones's elder sister Elizabeth was born on August 13, 1721 at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg[3] and his younger brother John was born on June 12, 1725 at the same location as Jones.[3] ... etc.
• Jones married on October 16, 1749 to Margaret Strother Morton (1726–1822), the widow of George Morton and the daughter of William Strother and his wife Margaret Watts of King George County.[1][2][3][7] Jones's wife lived to be 97, and was described by Waddell in his Annals of Augusta County, Virginia as "a lady of eminent Christian character."[10] Jones and his wife Margaret had three daughters, one son, and a child of unknown sex that died in infancy: Margaret Morton Jones Harvie, married to lawyer Colonel John Harvie of Albemarle County; Elizabeth Jones Lewis, married to merchant John Lewis of Fredericksburg (son of Fielding Lewis and his first wife Catharine Washington); Anna Gabriella Jones Hawkins, married to John Hawkins of Kentucky; and William Strother Jones (born March 21, 1756), married to Fanny Thornton of Fredericksburg.[12][24][25][26][27] .... etc.
• Following Jones's death in 1806, his widow Margaret Morton Jones continued to reside at "Bogota" until her own death in 1822.[30] Jaquelin Harvie, the son of Jones's daughter Margaret Jones Harvie and her husband John Harvie, purchased the "Bogota" estate after the death of Jones's wife and Harvie subsequently sold the property in 1830 to Jacob Strayer, who built the current house in 1845–1847.[30] The original house erected and occupied by Jones was demolished shortly after the construction of a new residence at "Bogota."[4] The site of Jones's house is presently located on property no longer part of the "Bogota" estate, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 2009.[4] A log tenant house estimated to have been built during the mid-18th-century during the ownership of the Jones family is extant, and remains part of the current "Bogota" estate, as of 2008.[4][30]
