Simon Jones & Margaret Evans






Simon Jones, my wife's 3rd great grandfather, and father of Mary Jones was born in Llanwenog, Wales in 1785 during the reign of the British King, George III.  Most of his life Simon lived on a farm called Esgerlugoer in Llanwenog.  Margaret  Evans was his second wife whom he married October 27, 1835.  They had eleven children, Thomas, Mary, Daniel, Evan, David, Sarah, Elizabeth, Simon, Hannah, John, Benjamin.   I have no information on his first wife.

Simon died at the age of 85 on May 4, 1870.  Below is a page from an "Index of Wills and Administrations" listing the probate of Simon's Will.  Margaret died August 8, 1871.
