Yes, Hugh and Elizabeth had a son named Hugh. He was a twin and they both died in childbirth. I also believe his first wife Elizabeth died at that time too. Later he had another son by his second wife Catey in 1759 named Hugh. This seccond Hugh was in his Will of 1788. Here is what I have and sent to Jim Jones, do you know him? Hugh JONES b. abt 1718 Wales d. abt 1791 Virginia Hugh JONES’ Last Will and Testament dated 1788 Hugh JONES 1st Marriage: Elizabeth MORTON (Born 1720 in Maryland) Hugh JONES and Elizabeth MORTON Married about 1743 Hugh JONES and Elizabeth MORTON Children; 1.George born 1743 (Born 13 JUN 1743 in Orange County, Virginia) 2.Morton born 1747 3.Joseph born 1749 4.Benjamine born 1750 5.Hugh born 1752 died 6.Catlett born 1752 died NOTE: May have been twins and died at childbirth or shortly after NOTE: Mother may have also died in childbirth Hugh JONES and Catey ________ Children: 7.Frances born 1757 8.Hugh born 1759 9.Catlett born 1761 10.Joseph born 1763 11.Elizabeth born 1765 Emessage to Steve Jones JUL 24, 2005 SUN JUL 24th Steve; Yes, I believe you are correct on the wives and children of Hugh Jones. I took a closer look at the dates and have come to the following conclusion. Do you agree? Hugh JONES b. abt 1718 Wales d. abt 1791 Virginia Hugh JONES’ Last Will and Testament dated 1788 Hugh JONES 1st Marriage: Elizabeth MORTON (Born 1720 in Maryland) Hugh JONES and Elizabeth MORTON Married about 1743 Hugh JONES and Elizabeth MORTON Children; 1, George born 1743 (Born 13 JUN 1743 in Orange Co, VA) 2. Morton born 1747 3. Joseph born 1749 4. Benjamine born 1750 5. Hugh born 1752 died 6. Catlett born 1752 died NOTE: May have been twins and died at childbirth NOTE: Mother may have also died in childbirth Hugh JONES and Catey ________ Children: 7. Frances born 1757 8. Hugh born 1759 9. Catlett born 1761 10.Joseph born 1763 11.Elizabeth born 1765 The reason I broke the children down the way I have is the long period between 1752, when two children died and the next child's birth in 1757. I speculate that Elizabeth Morton died in child birth of twins named Hugh and Catlett. What do you think? What do you have different from this? Hugh Jones' Will reads as follows about his second wife: "Item I lend unto my beloved wife Catey Jones my whole estate during her natural life or widowhood." Thanks, Al Barrs albarrs@wfeca.net
