John Jones born 30 June 1885 was employed in the coal mines of Morris Run, Tioga County, Pennsylvania at an early age. Later, he was employed in the company store at Morris Run.

John and Mae's first residence was at 7 Water Street, Morris Run where son, David was born. They removed to another home in Morris Run where children, Emma and Cenis were born. It was during a rail trip to secure cattle for butchering for the company owned town of Morris Run, that he stopped in Millerton, Pennsylvania and was approached by Albert W.

Knowing very little about agriculture, the family removed from Morris Run to a farm on Parmenter Hill, Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, located between Daggett and Millerton, and pursued dairying. Children, Charles and Catherine were born at Parmenter Hill. His father died in 1918 at Chickasaw, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania and after his death the family removed to Chickasaw. They were there only a short time when they removed to another home in Chickasaw. They remained in Chickasaw for only a brief period when the family removed to Baty Street, Elmira, New York. They only resided there a short time when John again returned to agricultural pursuits and they removed to the Solomon French farm on the Judson Hill Road in Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, located about one half mile south of Mosherville. From the French farm they removed further south on the Judson Hill Road to the William R. Cory farm and from there removed to the Hakes farm in central Wells Township on present Criss Road in the same township. Enumerated in Wells Township in 1920, farmer. Son, Raymond was born at the Hakes farm, 27 Aug 1920 and son, Roy was born there, 24 Feb 1922.

Willard died 21 Jan 1926 on the Brewer farm of spinal meningitis, buried on the lot of his Orton grandparents in Arbon Cemetery, Blossburg, Pennsylvania, no memorial marker. The family made their final move in March 1927 when they removed to the George O'Hanlon farm in the Seeley Creek Valley of northwestern Wells Township.
