• Notes

  Hugh Jones, Immigrant of Salem, Massachusetts, being one of the earliest pioneers. Was born in Wincanton. England, 1635; emigrated to Salem, Massachusetts in 1650, where he died about 1688. He married first, Hannah, daughter of John and Margaret Tompkins of Salem, Massachusetts, June 26, 1660. She was born February 21, 1640-1 and died May 10, 1672. He married second, December 31, 1672, Mary, Baptized March 29, 1649, daughter of John and Martha (Tompkins) Foster of Salem, a cousin of his first wife. November 18. 1661 he received from the town a homestead grant of about three acres of land which he sold April 22, 1673 to William Robinson of Salem. On April 13, 1674, he bought of Thomas Gardner, five acres of land in the "North Neck". Hugh Jones was a farmer and reared a large family on his small estate. His descendants for five generations lived mostly in Middlesex and Worcester Counties, Massachusetts, and Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. They were a vigorous, hardy, long-lived race of farmers and blacksmiths. They reared large families; were continually pioneers to new settlements on the advancing frontiers, and most of them were at some period, engaged in the military service. Mary, the widow of Hugh Jones, removed after 1688, with most of her children, to the northern part of Woburn. They had fifteen children.
