Notes |
- William Jr was the son of Captain William Strother Jones and Mary Frances Thornton. His grandfather, Gabriel Jones, disinherited him by writing in his will ". . . the best I can say of him is, and God knows it is bad enough, that he is an idle dissipated young man, and is now left to live upon the wreck of a miserable fortune left by his father, which I had given him, now almost spent by his extravagance . . .
William married Anna Maria Marshall (1788-1823) on 31 Jan 1806, who was the neice of Chief Justice Marshall. After her death, he married Ann Cary Randolph (1794-1877) on 31 Oct 1825. He had four children with each wife.
