M. Jacobs & Son was adopted.  Another son of Mr. Jacobs is employed in the business but is not a partner.  This firm does a very large business, filling contracts all over Delaware, Union and Marion Counties, and occasionally work comes form more distant points.  This satisfactory conditions of affairs speaks well both for the quality of their work and the honorable business methods followed by the firm.      Mr. Jacobs was married (first) to Cordelia McRill, a daughter of Benjamin McRill, who was Mr. Jacobs' first School teacher.  Of the five children born of this marriage, four survive, namely:  Lewis, junior member of the firm; Charles, residing at Ostrander, who married Della Tong; Frederick; and Rosa, who married Ashley Alspach, residing at Ostrander.  Mrs. Jacobs died in 1880, aged 34 years.  She was a consistent member of the United Brethren "Church.  Mr. "Jacobs was married (secondly) to Sarah E. Pendleton, who was born in Concord Township, and who is a daughter of William Pendleton, a pioneer settler there.  Three children were born of the second marriage, one of whom died young, the two survivors being Jessie and Walter.  Mr. Jacobs was very active in Sunday-school work and was an elder in the Christian Union Church, in Hancock County.      In politics, Mr. Jacobs is affiliated with the Democratic party.  From 1883 until 1892 he served as a justice of the peace in Hancock County, and in 1901 he was elected to the same office and served three years at Ostrander.  He has been a notary public for the past five years.  His public services have been faithfully and efficiently performed.  While residing at Cary, Ohio, he joined the Tribe of Ben Hur, and he belongs also to the Odd Fellows, having held official position in Fountain Lodge, No. 353, at Vanlue, Ohio.

	EDGAR JONES a representative citizen and prosperous farmer of Radnor Township, belongs to one of the early pioneer families of this section.  He was born in Green County, Ohio, Jan. 21, 1854, and is a son of Philip and Jane (Tomley) Jones.      The paternal grandfather of Edgar Jones was JOHN P. JONES, who founded this family in Ohio.  Both he and his wife, Mary Penry, were born in Wales.  With their three children they came to America in 1818.  John P. Jones was one of the earliest settles in Radnor Township, Delaware County, where he purchased 180 acres of wild land, developed a fine farm and lived respected and esteemed on his own property until his time of death, in 1864.  The maternal grandfather of Edgar Jones was also a man of sterling character.  He was born in England, Jan. 12, 1786, and died in Delaware County, Ohio, Nov. 28, 1857.  In early manhood he went to Wales, where he married and then engaged in farming in that country until 1840, when he brought his wife and four children to America.  On the farm he subsequently bought in Radnor Township, Delaware County, he spent the remainder of his life. Of his five children those who reached maturity were:  William, Hannah, and Jane, all now deceased, and Richard B., who resides in Radnor Township.      PHILIP JONES was born on the Penlyn farm, in Radnor Township, Delaware Co., Ohio, July 17, 1820, and died at Delaware, Nov. 23, 1896.  He followed an agricultural life until May, 1896, when he retired and took up his residence at Delaware, having lived continuously in Delaware County with the exception of 1854-5, when he resided in Greene County.  On the Republican ticket he was frequently elected to office and he served as township trustee, clerk, and treasurer and land appraiser.  He married Jane Tomley, who was born June 28, 1822, and died Jan. 27, 1898.  They had the following children:  Edgar; Susan, who married J.

	EDWARD D. JONES, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Radnor Township, was born at Langaffan, Breconshire, South Wales, April 16, 1826, and is the son of Daniel and Sarah (Jefferson) Jones.      The father of Mr. Jones was born in Breconshire, and never left his native place, where he died when aged 69 years.  He was a small farmer and was a man of great industry.  He married a daughter of Hugh Jefferson, who resided in Radnorshire, South Wales, and they  had six children, Edward D. being the youngest member of the family and the only survivor and the only one who came to America.  The family was reared in the faith of the Congregational Church.      Edward D. Jones grew up on his father's little farm and attended the schools near his home.  He was more ambitious and venturesome than the other members of the family and when he reached manhood he decided to emigrate to America, where he hoped industrial opportunities were better than in his own land.  He felt unwilling however, to have the Atlantic Ocean roll between him and the maiden of his choice, therefore he was married January 30, 1852, and on April 12 following, he embarked with his bride on the sailing vessel "States Rights," for the United States, which landed them safely eight weeks later, at Castle Garden, New York.  Mr. Jones came to Radnor, Delaware County, Ohio, where he found employment and worked industriously until he had accumulated enough capital to purchase 20 acres of land in Radnor Township, near Warrensburg.  Here he first built a humble log cabin and then cleared and fenced his property and during the 12 years which he spent on it, put it under a fine state of cultivation.  In 1864 he bought his present farm of a little over 100 acres, 35 of which had been cleared, and a comfortable log cabin stood on the place, in which the family resided until 1884.  In that year he built the present fine two-story frame house, which contains 12 large rooms.  His substantial barns were erected three years after he took possession of  the farm.  Mr. Jones during his active years raised many horses, cattle, sheep and hogs and also sufficient grain with which to feed them.  Mr. Jones is a man of independent means but every dollar he has made through his own efforts.  The only advantage he had over many others who started out in life at the same time he did, was the possession of unusual physical strength and to this he added industry, clean living and continued prudence.      Mr. Jones was married to Mary Davis, who died in 1886, aged 51 years.  She was the beloved mother of a large family, three of which died and eight survived to maturity, namely: Miriam, who grew to womanhood, married Joel Griffiths,  and died in Radnor Township; Sarah, deceased, who married Evan T. Jones, who resides at Richwood; Isaac, who is deceased; Elizabeth, who married Stephen Davis, residing in Radnor Township; Mary Ann, who married William Herbert, residing in Radnor Township; Ruth, who married Edward Hadley, residing in Radnor Township; Alice, who married Griffith Roberts, who operates the Jones farm; Martha, who married James Osborne, residing in Radnor Township.  Mr. Jones and family belong to the Congregational Church, in which he is a deacon.  Since the election of President Lincoln, he has been identified with the Republican party, but has prohibition tendencies.  He attributes a large measure of his excellent health of mind and body to the fact that he has been temperate in all things and has never used either tobacco or liquor.  He is a man who in every way deserves the high regard in which he is held by his fellow  citizens.

	THOMAS JONES, for many years one of the best known, and at the time of his death, February 18, 1908, one of the oldest residents in Delaware County, Ohio, resided on the Alderbrook farm in Delaware Township.  He was born July 29, 1823, in Breconshire, Wales, and is a son of William and Gwen (Williams) Jones.      William Jones was also a native of Breconshire, Wales, from which country he came to America with his wife and five children in 1832, settling at Columbus.  Here Thomas Jones resided until 17 or 18 years of age, at which time he learned the saddler and harnessmaker's trade, and then went to Worthington, where he remained for a few years.  Mr. Jones then entered into business for himself on the Darby Plains, but after his marriage here he engaged in farming and in raising sheep and Percheron horses, being the pioneer in this industry in the Sate.  In 1879 he located on his present farm, which he had purchased several years previously, and here he continued to operate until 1899, when he retired from active pursuits, the responsibility of management being undertaken by his daughter, Mrs. Winifred.  The farm, a tract of 70 acres, about 20 of which are under cultivation, is one of the finest of its size in the township, and on it a large barn was erected in 1904.  About 1884 Mr. Jones imported some Welsh ponies to America, and he has since continued to breed his stock, usually having about 14 on hand.  He has also bred Shetland ponies and Percheron horses, and has given much attention to cattle and sheep raising six children, of whom five grew to maturity.  These were as follows:  Harriet, now deceased, who was the wife of J.

	THOMAS B. JONES, a prominent retired farmer of Radnor Township, was born in Belmont County, Ohio, Dec. 20, 1834, and is a son of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Warner) Jones.      The founder of this family in America was Griffin Jones, who came from England to America at a very early day, when somewhat advanced in years, but his son Edward, who was  the grandfather of Thomas E., was born after he settled in Virginia.  Edward Jones learned the carpenter trade and he also was employed as an overseer on Virginia plantations.  He was a soldier in the War of 1812 and received a land warrant on that account, but he never made use of it.  His last years were spent at the home of his son Nicholas, in Delaware County, Ohio, where he died in 1856 at the age of 62 years.  He married Nancy Wharton and they had several children.  She had five brothers, all of whom became ministers either of the Baptist or the Methodist Episcopal faith.      NICHOLAS JONES was born near Fredericksburg, Virginia, in January, 1807, and died in Ohio, in 1868.  He remained in Virginia until the construction of the National road and was under way, when he came to Ohio and engaged as a hotel clerk at Morristown, in Belmont County.  He married Elizabeth Warner,  who died in 1883, aged 72 years.  She was a daughter of Henry Warner, who kept the hotel at Morristown, in which Mr. Jones was employed as a clerk.  To this marriage were born 12 children, the following of whom grew to maturity:  Edward, who was a physician, died in Missouri; Thomas B.; Nicholas, who resides in Nebraska; Winfield S.; who resides at Moberly, Missouri; Mary who is the wife of Sidney Howe, of Black Rock, Arkansas; Charles, who resides near Rochester, New York; and Stella, deceased, who married Rufus Wells of Chicago, who is also deceased.      Nicholas Jones and wife continued to live in Belmont County, until after the birth of Thomas B., when they came to Troy Township, Delaware County, where Mr. Jones built a log cabin in the woods and subsequently cleared up an excellent farm.  He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and force of character and so impressed his fellow citizens that for many years he was retained in public office.  In politics he was first a Whig and later a Republican and he was elected a justice of the peace in Troy  Township and served for 12 consecutive years.  In 1847 he was elected sheriff of Delaware County, an office he efficiently filled for four years, leaving it to became county auditor for a like period.  He then returned to Troy Township, where he bought what was known as the broom-corn farm, but five years later he sold that property and retired to Delaware, where the remainder of his life was passed.  Both he and wife were leading members of the Baptist Church.         Thomas B. Jones was educated in the public schools of Troy Township and at the Ohio Wesleyan University.  He engaged in farming with his father until his marriage in 1861 and continued to live in Troy Township until 1866, when he came to Radnor Township.  In the above year he bought his farm of 187 acres on which, until within the past two years, he has carried on general farming and stock raising.  He made all the improvements here and erected all the buildings except the residence.      In 1861, Mr. Jones was married to Ellen Bush, who is a daughter of David Bush, of Troy Township.  Mrs. Jones  was a school teacher for a number of years in southern Ohio and in Iowa, prior to her marriage.  Of the ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Jones, all but one reached maturity, as follows:  Louis J., residing at Lorain, Ohio; Alice, who married Cadwallader Price, residing at Magnetic Springs, in Union County; Thomas Bennett, deceased; Walter A., residing in Concord Township; Victor W., residing at Columbus; Hosea H., residing in Radnor Township; Elizabeth, who married Edmund Morrison, residing on the home place; and Anna, who married Frank Graham residing in Thompson Township.  Mr. Jones and family belong to the Baptist Church at Radnor.      Among the many recollections of his boyhood, Mr. Jones recalls seeing a party of Wyandot Indians riding through Troy Township on their way to the Ohio River.  They impressed him as a very jolly company, singing as they went on out of hearing.  They never returned to this section.  Mr. Jones remembers also the mob that came out from Columbus, in 1844, for the purpose of tearing down the gates along the Columbus & Sandusky turnpike road.  When they reached Thomas Casey's gate, in Troy Township, they found a band of militia awaiting them and when the mob persisted in tearing down the gate, the militia fired and wounded one of the invaders.  In spite of the militia the gate was demolished.

	JUDGE THOMAS C. JONES was born in the parish of Myfod, Montgomeryshire, North Wales, Feb. 9, 1816, and died at Delaware, Ohio, Aug.. 13, 1892.  His father, Robert Jones, was a farmer in his native country of Wales, and the family immigrated to America in the year 1822 and settled on the farm near Delaware, Ohio.  At the early age of thirteen years the subject of this sketch earned his own living by working on farms for the neighbors in the spring and summer and fall and attending school in winters.  In this way he obtained a sufficient education to teach.  In the year 1837, he began the study of law with his brother Edward, who had just previously opened an office in Delaware.  The brother died in the year 1838 and Thomas taught a district school in the winter of 1839, and in April of that year he started to Wales to settle his father's estate.  He traveled from Delaware to Philadelphia on horseback, where he sold his horse and sailed for his former home.  He studied law in England for about eighteen months, and as a student attended the sessions of the English courts with great benefit for himself.  In the spring of the year 1841 he returned to America and was admitted to the Bar before the Supreme Court of Ohio, which was teen being held at Gallipolis, Ohio, Justices Peter Hitchcock, Thomas A. Grimke and S. F. Vinton, examiners.  He immediately opened an office in Delaware, Ohio, with good prospects.  In a short time he entered into a partnership for the practice of his profession with Judge Sherman Finch, which partnership continued for only a short time.  In the year 1843.  Mr. Jones removed to Circleville, Pickaway County, Ohio, where he continued in the practice of his profession for thirteen years.  In the year 1856 he returned to Delaware County, where he formed a partnership for the practice of law with H. M. Carper, the style of the firm being Jones & Carper, which partnership continued until Mr. Jones was elected to the Common Pleas bench.  In the year 1859, he was elected State senator from the Sixteenth Senatorial district, at that time composed of Delaware and Licking Counties, as a Republican, though the district was largely Democratic.  Mr. Jones was elected by a handsome majority.  In January, 1859, Mr. Jones was elected a member of the State Board of Agriculture, which office he held for eight years, being president of the board for two years.      In the autumn of the year 1861, Mr. Jones was elected judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the First Subdivision of the Sixth Judicial District, composed of Delaware, Knox and Licking Counties.  He was re-elected in the autumn of 1866, serving for the term of ten years with general satisfaction to the public and to the Bar.      He was a delegate to the National Republican Convention held at Chicago in the year 1868, which nominated Grant and Colfax for president and vice-president, respectively, of the United States and was chairman of the delegation.  He was also a member of the National Republican Convention which nominated R. B. Hayes for president in the year 1876, and he was one of President Hayes' strongest supporters, having known him from childhood, they having been school boys together.  After the expiration of Judge Jones' second term on the bench, he engaged in agriculture and the breeding of thoroughbred short-horned cattle, Southdown sheep and other fine stock, for which he always had a taste, no doubt inherited through many generations from his ancestors.  He was appointed trustee of the Ohio Agricultural College, located at Columbus, Ohio, was made chairman of the Executive Committee, and was largely responsible for the design and erection of the college buildings as well as the selection of the first professors and the character of the course of study.  In the year 1876 he was one of the jury selected to award the honors in the cattle department of live stock at the Centennial at Philadelphia and he was made chairman of that body.      In the year 1880 he visited Great Britain, including his native Wales,  Taking with him his wife and with the aid of the letter from President Hayes, his old school fellow, he made extensive observations with reference to our live stock trade with that country and the effect of its restrictions upon our exports.  The result of his observations was made known to the president in the letter by Mr. Jones, which letter he caused to be published for distribution among breeders and others interested in this most important branch of our export trade.  In the year 1881 he was appointed on a commission by a special act of Congress to examine and report upon the agricultural needs and resources of the Pacific States.  In the government's earnest endeavor to solve and settle the Indian question the wisdom of Judge Jones was recognized by his appointment to several commissions.      Judge Jones was at one time an official visitor to the Naval Academy at Annapolis.  As a writer on agricultural subjects and especially in the department of stock-breeding, he had a national reputation.      Judge Jones was chosen as the first president of the Ohio Association of Breeders of short-horn cattle and was really the leading spirit in its organization.  The judge was a man of sincere and earnest convictions, liberal and public spirited, of a genial temperament and was interested in his fellow citizens and his company was sought after in the social circle.      Religiously, he was a positive character.  He was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, had clear views on the subject of religion and he believed in a God as taught by his church and the Bible.  He had no patience with non-believers or with the doctrines of the rationalists.  He was for many years a trustee of the Theological Seminary and of Kenyon College, which was established by his church at Gambier, and his eldest son is a professor of Ecclesiastical History and Church Polity in Kenyon College.

	HON FREDRICK MERRICK JOY was born Nov. 15, 1846, in Delaware, Ohio, and died Mar. 17, 1883, being only a little over thirty-six years of age when called to his long rest.  He grew up in the community in which he was born and attended the public schools until he had advanced as far as the course would take him.  He entered the Ohio Wesleyan University, from which he graduated in June, 1867.  He immediately began the study of law in the office of Messrs. Reid & Powell, attorneys, and was admitted to the Bar in the summer of 1869, from which time to date of his death he devoted his energies and talents to the profession of his choice.  He was a justice of the peace for two terms of the city of Delaware for two terms.  He was a law partner of Hon. H. M. Marriott at the time of his death.      He was possessed of a keen and lively humor, but his sarcasm left no sting.  In his social relation he was congenial and companionable, but in his domestic life the real beauty of his character shows most resplendent.  As a husband he was affectionate and devoted, as a father he was indulgent and kind, as a neighbor civil and obliging, and as a citizen zealous and patriotic, and his early demise was lamented by all who knew him.
