David Jones is describe as "...a prominent citizen and well-to-do farmer of Shakatan township, Lincoln county, Minnesota, and resides on section 11." A fairly lengthy account can be found in "Illustrated Album of Biography of Southwestern Minnesota and Northwestern Iowa - 1889."
His family story is given, and best I can tell he arrives Winnebago county, Wisconsin around 1850. Interesting story given here. He has to be one of the earliest JONES to the Minnesota area. Any descendants out there?
