    3. Would be most grateful for any info on this Jones family in Susan Miles (Ursula Wyllie Roberts) Memoirs of a Soldier's Daughter: Father was in the direct line of descent from Henry, Bishop of Meath and Clogher, whose brother, Ambrose, was Bishop of Killala in County Mayo, and whose father, Lewis Jones, was made a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford in 1568, when he was eighteen, and later became Bishop of Killaloe in County Clare. I find the family tree at this point a little bit suggestive of the Bab Ballads. I have no clue as to why these far-off Jones's found themselves in Ireland. General Michael Jones, the eldest brother of Father's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, became Governor of Chester and Dublin and married Dame Mary Culme, who was presumably an Irishwoman. The youngest brother, Sir Theophilus Jones, became Scoutmaster General of the Forces in Ireland. Thanks, Bob Foran - Connecticut USA
