I am looking for information about Frances JONES b 1710 and Lane JONES b 1707 to Orlando JONES and Martha MACON. They had residences in Williamsburg, King William CO, and York CO but I don't know where the children were born. After Martha Macon d 1716 Orlando Jones m2 Mary Elizabeth WILLIAMS. Orlando Jones then d 1719 and in his will asked his second wife to bring up his daughter Frances. In 1720 she m2 Jean-Jacques FLOURNOY who in 1721 was qualified by the court to be the children's guardian; both were left considerable property by Orlando's will. Within the next five years new guardians had been appointed for both children with the new guardians (Orlando's sister and a local Justice of the Peace) bringing suit against FLOURNOY who in the meantime had begun to amass a great deal of land although he does not appear to have had money before his marriage to Mary Elizabeth. All of this suggests that Flournoy may have been mishandling the children's estates but that is a guess. It sounds as if no love was lost between Flournoy and the Jones family. My questions are: 1) since Lane was not mentioned in his father's will but was not yet of age, was someone else raising him? 2) Does anyone know the circumstances of these children's lives? There may be research going on since the JONES family was prominent; Frances was to grow up and become George Washington's mother-in-law. Also, Orlando's father Rev. Rowland Jones was founding pastor of Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg and Orlando served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Please contact direct.
