Notes for Francis Fitzgerald Jones:Dr. William M. Pritchett, Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia www.virginians.com
Francis Fitzgerald Jones (9 Nov. 1807 - 2 July 1865) married Sarah Green Thweatt (15 Jan. 1813 - 31 Aug. 1854) in Chesterfield County 24 November (bond) 1830. She was the daughter of Thomas Thweatt and Sarah Green Thweatt of Dinwiddie. In November 1826 Jones bought 1,491 acres on the Nottoway River and Hickory Run in Brunswick County from Nathaniel Coleman and his wife, Elizabeth.
Jones moved to Brunswick County in 1836 and lived at "The Oaks" northeast of Rawlings on present-day Highway 610. For several years Francis operated a male school at "The Oaks," offering instruction in the usual English and classical curriculum, mainly for his own children. Concord Presbyterian Church is on land given by Francis Jones.
Francis F. Jones served the unexpired term of Edward P. Scott in the Virginia Senate representing Brunswick, Dinwiddie, and Greensville counties (1850).
"Sallie" died of consumption and is buried at "The Oaks." On 27 July 1857 Francis married Mary Harriet Bolling (21 Nov. 1810 - 25 Dec. 1860), then the widow of Dr. John Feild.
Twice a widower before the Civil War began, Francis saw six sons called to serve in the Confederate Army: Benjamin, George, Thomas, Francis, William, and Freeman. Francis lived to see all return.
Francis died with consumption 2 July 1865 and was buried in the Francis Jones Family Cemetery at "The Oaks." His tombstone identifies him as "Honorable Francis F. Jones."
Francis died before 1865 when the account of his estate sale was returned.
