https://alliedfamilies.wordpress.com/early-virginia-jones-families/... Jones the son of Major Peter Jones and Dorothy Chamberlaine.
John Jones married Martha Redford in March, 1761. Major Peter Jones gave his son all his land below Spinners Branch being about 1,000 acres. He gave 50 acres each to his sons Wood, John, Jr. and Edward Jones. The will of John Jones notes that he was sick when he wrote it. He left his plantation to his wife, Martha Jones, during her lifetime, and then devised that the plantation and the fifty acres possessed by his son Wood Jones be equally divided between sons Peter and Wood Jones. He lent to Martha the Negroes: James, Matt, Toney, Suny, Tom, Dinah, Patt, Robin, Isaac, Patrick, Jonas, Villars, and Nelly. He gave Martha the power to sell or dispose of Dinah a Negro woman with her present or future increase. The slaves, upon the death of Martha, were to be equally divided among daughters Dorothy Chamberlain Jones, Ann Archer, and sons Peter, Francis, John and Wood Jones. Interestingly, the will states that any heir objecting to Martha’s right to dispose of Dinah as she sees fit would be barred from inheriting any property. Another slave, Beck was lent to Martha, and then to grand daughter Ridley Wills. Daughter Ann Archer received one Negro woman named Polly and her increase. Caroline Matilda Jones received one Negro woman Peggy and her increase. His grand daughter Prudence M. C. Jones received a Negro girl named Hariet, and her increase. His grand sons Columbus Telemicus, Julius Caesar, and Philip Balacarious received a Negro woman named Lucy and her increase. His son Peter was given the houses and tenements wherein John Sr., lived to enjoy, and if Wood Jones failed to share the 50 acres and equally divide the plantation with Peter, then he would be bared from inheriting any part of the home plantation. It notes that John Jr. had already received a deed for his part of the land and was bared from any further inheritance of land. The will was proved in 1819.
Dorothy Jones married Thomas Jones in 1787; Judith Jones married Peter Branch son of Ridley Jones Branch, and William Wills married Ridley Branch in 1811. Thomas Short, son of Dorothy Jones and Thomas Short of Georgia, and Martha Jones were married in Amelia County and went to Georgia. Elizabeth Jones married Joseph Moore. John Jones, Jr. went to Amelia County in 1817. Wood Jones married Elizabeth, daughter of Peter Field Archer. Francis Jones was born in Amelia County and Married Mary Nancy Greenhill.
