Children Notes. Enoch Jones was the son of Samuel & Hannah Jones & grandson of Griffith Jones.

Enoch & Sarah Jones had a son John Jones 1797-1875 and daughters Elizabeth 1786-1816 & Martha 1802-1840.

The son, John, married Mary Ann McLean the daughter of Archibald & Mary (Jones) McLean, grand daughter of Rev. David Jones.

The daughter, Eliza married Joseph Bartholomew & the daughter Martha married Samuel Davis.

Enoch was a deacon at the Great Valley Baptist Church where he is buried. Many other early Jones including the Rev. David Jones are buried in this cemetery.

A connection between the two Jones lines probably exists because both Jones families were members of the Rhydwilin church in Cardiganshire, Wales. Both families also came to America with a year of one another.
