Research Notes:

A biosketch reports [17]:

Jeremiah Jones was born near Mifflin, Ohio, March 11, 1830, a son of Barnabas Jones, a native of Wales, who came with his parents to the United States and first located in Pennsylvania, and later in Ashland County, Ohio, where he was reared and married. He learned the trade of a millwright, and later in life owned and operated a grist-mill at Charles Mill, Ohio, and in this capacity was well-known to the older settlers of that region, who brought their grain to him to be ground. When he was about forty years of age he left the milling business, and, going to Peru, Indiana, engaged in farming in the vicinity of Somerset, in Wabash County, and continued in this calling until his death in 1863. His children were as follows: Emanuel, Jeremiah, Joseph, Madison, Oliver, Maria, Mary, Lucinda and Elizabeth, of whom the survivors are Madison and Oliver. Madison Jones is a Union veteran.
