Surname Saturday - JONES (England > colonial New York, New Jersey)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.  


I am in the 7th great-grandmothers and I'm up to Ancestor #949, but I don't know who she, or #951, is.  So, the next on the list is Ancestor #953, who is Mary JONES (1672-1760)
.   [Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 7th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts].

58.  William Knapp (1775-1856)

Nathaniel Fitz Randolph and 1905. Mary Holloway.  He married 08 June 1693 in Elizabeth, Union, New Jersey, United States.
953.  Mary Jones, born about 1672 in Elizabeth, Union, New Jersey, United States; died 16 January 1760 in Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey, United States.  

Children of Samuel Fitz Randolph and Mary Jones are:

1906.  Jeffery Jones, born about 1535 in New York, United States; died before 31 December 1717 in Elizabeth, Union, New Jersey, United States.  He married (1) 24 May 1661 Elizabeth Glover (1640-1661)  in Southold, Suffolk, New York, United States; (2) about 1662 in probably Southold, Suffolk, New York, United States.
1907.  Safronie Walter, born before 13 May 1640 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts, United States; died in  .  She was the daughter of 3814. John Walter and 3815. Patience Wooten.

Children of Jeffery Jones and Safronie Walter are:
*  Edward Jones (1663-1721), married 1680 Lydia --?--.
*  Susanna Jones (1666-1739).
*  Abigail Jones (1670-1776), married 1707 Jeremiah Bird (1665-1738).
*  Mary Jones (1672-1760), married 1693 Samuel Fitz Randolph (1668-1738)

Information about this Jones family is fairly scarce.  It is treated in several derivative sources and authored works, but none is authoritative, in my opinion.  Jeffery Jones left a will which named his surviving children.  There has been much speculation about Jeffery Jones parents.  He apparently resided in Southold, New York before coming to Elizabethtown, New Jersey in about 1665.
