On February 2, 1854, while residing near Sumterville, Sumter District, South Carolina, Elisabeth J. Jones, daughter of William and Ann Jones, applied for pension that might have been due on account of the service of her father in the Revolutionary War. She applied in behalf of herself and two brothers, Leonard, and Wiley Jones, then of Marengo County, Alabama.

It was alleged that William Jones accompanied General [Nathanael] Greene's troops from Virginia to Sumter District, South Carolina, that he served at various times from sometime prior to 1780, until June, 1782, as private under Captains [Wm] Long, [John] Malone, Joseph Hill, George McCauley, and Colonels [John] Marshall, [Robert] Anderson, Peter Horry and Richard Richardson, that he was in the battles of Guilford Court House and Eutaw Springs, no definite length of service stated under the various enlistments.

The claim was not allowed as proof of service was not furnished in accordance with requirements of the pension law. 

Eli Freeman, brother of soldier's wife, Ann, in 1786 acted as agent for his mother, Ann Freeman, his place of residence not given.

In 1854, one Susannah B. Jones, aged fifty years, and her sister, Martha Deas, aged forty-seven years, were residing in Sumter District, South Carolina; their relationship to the family not stated. At that time, Susannah B. Jones referred to her son, Edgar born in July, 1831, and Martha Deas made reference to her son, James, born not long before the death of John Parker in 1831.

Very truly yours
