Henry Jones (1776-1854) 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks

Kris Hocker on 18 Mar 2017

Perhaps not so surprisingly, I’ve fallen behind on my 52 ancestors posts. I’m hoping to catch up. Here’s a short one to start me off.

Henry Jones was born 15 July 1776 in Hilltown Township and died 10 December 1854 in Milford Township, both in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.1 He was buried in Christ Church cemetery in Trumbauersville. He was the son of Edward and Rachel (Lewis) Jones.2

Henry married Martha Bartleson by 1806.3 They lived in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania where Henry was a farmer and carpenter. Martha died prior to 1 June 1830.

Henry and Martha (Bartleson) Jones had children:

  1. Levi Jones (c1807-bef 1870), married Catharine (Rhoads?)
  2. Rachael Jones (5 Mar 1809-10 Sep 1897), married John Witmer
  3. William Jones (c1811-23 Aug 1899), married Mrs. Hedrick and Catharine “Kate” Hartzell
  4. Mary Ann Jones (c1813-?), married Samuel Gilmore
  5. Lewis Jones (10 Nov 1815-21 Nov 1900), married Lydia Frederick
  6. Eliza Jones (c1817-c1849), married Wilson Davis
  7. Matilda Jones (? 1819-?)
  8. Isaac Bartleson Jones (11 Jan 1820-22 Apr 1892), married Sarah Senderling
  9. Henry Jones (12 Apr 1822-22 May 1893), married Peninah Shive
  10. Abel Jones (1 Feb 1824-27 Aug 1853)
  11. John Jones (c1826-?)
  12. Oliver Bartleson Jones (16 Aug 1829-4 Jan 1858), married Mary Elizabeth Bibighaus

Henry and Martha are my 5 times great grandparents.
