Monticello was founded by Samuel Frisbee Jones and his brother John Paul Jones. They were natives of the town of Goshen, Litchfield County, Connecticut, where their father, Samuel Jones, was a farmer. He was a patriot of 1776 and served in the Revolutionary army as an ensign. While his sons, Samuel F. and John P. were young, he removed to Lebanon, Columbia County, where he died in 1836, aged 84 years.

Samuel F. Jones was the first postmaster and one of the first Judges of the County Court of Sullivan. He was also elected Supervisor for several terms. Unfortunately he was convivial in his tastes and habits, and in the end gave free indulgence to his appetite for spirituous liquors. His real estate gradually passed into the hands of his brother. He became poor and died in the prime of his life. His wife survived him until June 21, 1832. They left two children, a son and a daughter. The latter was living in Port Jervis several years since. Henry, the son, an amiable and inoffensive man, died, August 24, 1838, at the age of 33 years.
