A biosketch reports [15]:
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.
Jeremiah Jones was born and reared in Ohio, and attended its public schools. In the course of time he became an architect, and was in possession of a large patronage when he was killed in 1890. During his professional career he designed and built a number of important buildings, especially at Lucas and in its vicinity, and was recognized as one of the leading men of Richland County, and where his marriage occurred. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and belonged to the Masonic fraternity. In politics he was a democrat, but he was not an office seeker. Six children were born to him and his wife, five of whom are now living: Melvina, who is the wife of L. L. Pany, of Mansfield, Ohio; Harlan, whose name heads this review; Mary L., who is the wife of M. L. Swagart, of Lucas, Ohio; and William M., a builder, who is a resident of Mansfield, Ohio.
