Allen Jones was born 1846 in Hillsborough, Orange Co, NC, the 5th of 10 known surviving children (6 boys/4 girls) born to Col. Cadwallader Jones, CSA and his wife Annie Isabella Iredell, Governor of North Carolina (1827-1828).
He removed with his family to South Carolina in 1857, receiving his earlier schooling from the common schools at Ebenezer, York County, until the war came. In 1861 he volunteered with the State Guards for the defense of Charleston in April, 1863; and was promoted to second-lieutenant. In January, 1864, he joined the Twelfth Regiment, Army of Northern Virginia and was wounded in front of Richmond, and paroled after the surrender of Appcmattox.
Returning to Columbia after the war, he went into business at Rock Hill after the war, and served one term as mayor of that town. Later he became Treasurer of the Saxe-Gotha Mills, Lexington Manufacturing Company, Middleburg Mills, in Lexington County; and president of the Palmetto Mills, Columbia, South Carolina; and was considered one of the foremost cotton-mill owners of the State.
He married Augusta Henrietta Porcher, of Winnsboro, South Carolina, October 15, 1874 and they were parents to at least 9 known children:
* Marion Porcher Jones (1875)
* Annie Iredell Jones (1877)
