Lewis Jones and wife Anna were in Watertown in 1684, and from them most of the name in the town descended. He died 1682-4, and this pious matron Ann, may have been his wife (Harris' Epitaphs)
JONES, LEWIS, Roxbury, with w. Ann, wh. d. 1 May 1680, aged 72, or 78 by the inscript. on gr. stone, as Goodwin gives it, is found among memb. of the ch. a. 1640, had Phebe, b. 21 Jan. bapt. 1 Feb. 1646, d. 6 July 1650 by a scald, says ch. rec. but he had elder ch. Lydia, perhaps b. in Eng. wh. m. 30 Oct. 1656, Jonathan Whitney, beside Josiah, b. 1643; and Shubael, 1 July, or 14 Oct. says Goodwin, 1651. This last was prob. infirm in mind. He was long at Watertown, and there d. 11 Apr. 1684, having to his will of 7 Jan. 1679, add. codic. of 11 Apr. 1682. (Savage's Genealogical Dictionary)
From Mark Jondal: familysearch - Saint Dunstan, Stepney, London, England marriages: May 18, 1630 Lewes Joanes of Wentworth streete chapman & Anne Cooper of Knock-fergus, W.
From Kevin Avery: Bond (Genealogies of the Families Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown) thought there was a stong presumption that Ann Stone, d/o Simon Stone, married Lewis Jones. But in the recent "Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton" (NEHGS), it says that Ann Stone was *not* the wife of Lewis Jones.
From Eric Stone: I genuinely believe this is Ann (Stone) Jones. Links to her parents: Simon Stone and Joan (Clarke) Stone
From Scott DuJardin: Lewis Jones calls John Stone his brother in his will - apparently the justification others have used for assuming that Ann Stone was Lewis Jones' wife.
From Cathy Moran Truesdale: "Jonathan Whitney was born in 1634 at England. He was the son of John Whitney and Elinor (?). Jonathan Whitney was found on a passenger list in 1635 at Elizabeth & Ann. He married Lydia Jones, daughter of Lewis Jones and Anna Bullard." Kymm's Ancestry.
From David Jenkins If the Anna (Ann) Stone who emigrated with her family of Symon and Joan on the ship "Increase" (departed England, Apr., 1635) was 11 years old (yr. of birth, 1624), and that is accurate, then it seems clear that the Ann represented in this memorial was not the daughter of Symon and Joan Stone. Thank you.
Linda Dinkel on 13 Jan 2018:
I submitted the maiden name for Ann Jones(as her name appears in Findagrave). I also submitted her birth date. It was all rejected. If the reason is because you don't think or are not sure if Stone is her maiden name then her memorial shouldn't be linked to Lewis or Josiah Jones. This is misleading. The "real" Anna Stone Jones was married to Lewis Jones. Our family & respected resources know this to be true. You should say where you found the other maiden name you've printed in her bio of this woman in the cemetery. If the cemetery records say Lewis Jones is buried there & there's an Ann near him then it is most likely his wife, Anna Stone.
From Nancy Robison on June 13 2018:Anne is my 8th Greatgrandmother, and I have found her maiden name as Stoune/Stonne, with father as Henry Stoune/Stonne of Boxed, England. I have never accepted Simon Stone as her father. His Anne was 10plus years younger and has a documented marriage.
And, NO, descendants do Not agree with that one gal......Linda Dinkel. 90% would agree Anne was anyone except the daughter of Simon and Joan
Kevin Avery on June 13 2018: I seriously doubt she was a Stone. Hopefully some concrete research will be done by NEHGS someday.
