Moses JONES was grandson, a son of Andrew JONES and wife Dorothy GOUCHER who married at St Gabriel's Church, Douglassville, Berks Co on 10/8/1736, by publishing. [Source: Berks Co Church Records of 18th Censury, F Edward Wright, pub 2000, page 8.]  Moses was born 4/21/1739, according to St Gabriel's church records, [p 11 of above named source]. (The church was originally Swedish Lutheran but became Episcopal in 1800.) Andrew JONES was son of  Mans Jonasson and his wife Ingeborg Lycon who married c1690 in Philadelphia Co area.  He died c1727 in Amity, then Philadelphia County, only became Berks Co as of 1752. I had found this item: "Original Settlements on the Delaware" by Benjamin Ferris: "The following is a "List of the Swedish families residing in New Sweden  in 1693, with the number of individuals in each family".  Some of the  names are evidently Dutch (and Finnish), as Van der Weer, Starke and  Meyer.  These were probably reckoned as Swedes on account of their  descent from them on the female side, and from having adopted the  language and customs of that people.  The list is dated 1693.  It was  probably made out in  the spring of that year, and sent to Sweden with  the interesting letter written by Charles Springer, and signed by thirty  of the principal men in the colony, giving an account of their situation  and soliciting the means of religious instruction.  That letter was  dated the 31st of May, 1693." Heads of families      Persons Mans Jonsson            6 Will Abstract: JONES, MOUNS. Amity, Co. of Philadelphia. Yeoman.  March 29, 1727/8. May 5, 1727. E.41.  Wife: Jugabo [Ingeborg].

The couple became the first Swedish settlers at Manatawney (Douglassville) in Berks County. Their children included: Margaret, born 1691, who married Marcus Huling; Peter, born 1693, who married Elisabeth [parents unknown]; Christina, born 1696; Jonas, born 1698, who married Maria Knecht; Andrew, born c. 1700, who married Dorothy Goucher; and Magdalena, who married Andrew Bird."  I don't see a will abstract for Andrew JONES in Berks Co or Philadelphia Co Wills 1752-1800.  Perhaps he died in another area - maybe in NC since Moses was a soldier there?

My 5th great-grandfather is Moses Jones, NC soldier in the Rev. War. I don't have his birth date. He and his descendants moved on to SC and then GA for 6 generations. I would love to know how Moses descended from Mouns. Thank you very much, Rosalee (Jones) L., AZ
