"excerpt taken from Biographical sketch of Ambrose Jones the 3rd"
Text: [Rev. Ambrose Jones, Sr.] was married in New York to Miss Hannah Barnum,
a distant relative, and who belonged to the same family from which the famous
showman, P.T. Barnum sprang. Mr.and Mrs. Jones lived in New YorkState until
after the birth of three children, then determining to seek their fortunes in what was
then the far West, set out with teams overland for Ohio. They located in the wilds
of Clinton County, where Mr. Jones occupied himself as a carpenter and preacher,
erecting some of the first buildings in the county. In due time he became the owner
of a farm in Chester township, but in 1832he removed thence to Jefferson Township,
Greene County where with his good wife he spent the balance of his life. [He] The
father died when about seventy-two yearsold. Mrs. Jones survived her husband many years, dying at the advanced age ofninety-two. She with him had been life-long
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church."
