Enos Jones 2011 Edition

Enos Jones of Augusta County Virginia was the son of Robert Jones & Anne Coulston of the Welsh settlement of Gwyndd in what is today Montgomery County Pennsylvania. They were Friends or Quakers if you prefer as were the majority of the first settlers of Gwyndd fleeing from the religious intolerance of 17th Century England. These early Quakers were soon joined by a host of 18th Century settlers from Germany France Ireland Scotland Wales and England who also contributed their unique heritage to the growth of our country's culture. They were quickly followed by others from almost every corner of the world. Around the time of the American Revolution Enos Jones and his wife Lydia daughter of Palatine Germans packed up their family and along with Lydia's brothers made their way west into the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The following generations moved on west in search of new lands to farm stopping in Ross County Ohio then Linn County Iowa and finally in Page County Iowa where the tale ends.
