am seeking for some history or in
formation of the Jones family of Pc
tersburc, Va" OF whom General Abra-
ham Wood and Major Peter Jones, both
OF Virginia, were the ancestors. Gen
cral Abraham Wood was a very promi-
nent man in mis- day. and I understand
that he represented AppomattoN Com
~ IN 1914, 20 and 40. was on the COM
mittee OF Charles City County in 1851
and also on the Governors council
Major Peter Jones somewhere about
1873, was appointed captain OF a com
pany organized for the defense against
the Indians and stationed at Fort
Henry on the Appomattox River on the
site whcreon Petersburg now stands,
! which land was then owned by General
Abraham Wood. He. .arried a daugh-
ter OF General Abraham Wood MARY
or Margaret. 1 am not certain which,,
and among his children were Peter
Jones. H. and Abraham Jones: Peter
Jones. IL was n vestryman OF Bristol
| Parish IN 1922. and also captain OF the
Prince George militia. His will was
dated June 10, 1921. and proved March
10. 1926, and among his children were
Captain Peter Jones III. who was the
! founder of Petersburg. Va, and Abra-
ham Jones 60. from whom part OF our
family were descended. This Will serve
to show YOU which family refer to,
and understand that the history OF
this family was published In one OF the
Virginia historical magazines but am

number thereof
