Some letters have tears.","This collection has been minimally processed and is open for research.","The Jones family of Virginia produced six generations of professional military officers in U.S. and Confederate service, from the Revolutionary War through the Second World War. Several members of the family bore the Welsh patronymic \"ap,\" meaning \"son of,\" between their given name and their father's name, a survival of the family's Welsh ancestry through the seventeenth-century Virginia immigrant Captain Roger Jones of London. ","Catesby Jones (c. 1730–1800) of Westmoreland County, Virginia, the earliest family member represented in the collection, served as a Virginia militia officer during and after the Revolutionary War, receiving successive commissions from governors Patrick Henry (1785), Beverly Randolph (1789), and Henry Lee III (1792, 1794). He married Lettice Corbin Turberville and was the father of Roger Jones and Thomas ap Catesby Jones. ","His elder son, Roger Jones (1789–July 15, 1852), was born in Westmoreland County and is the central figure of the collection. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps in January 1809, transferred to the U.S. Army as a captain of artillery in 1812, and earned brevets to major and lieutenant colonel for service in the War of 1812 — most notably for gallantry at the battles of Chippewa, Niagara, and the sortie at Fort Erie. He was appointed Adjutant General of the U.S. Army in March 1825 and held that position for twenty-seven years until his death in office, the longest tenure in the history of the office. He was breveted brigadier general in 1832 and major general in 1848, and was buried in the Congressional Cemetery in Washington. Roger Jones married Mary Ann Mason, a descendant of William Byrd II and Robert \"King\" Carter and a cousin of Robert E. Lee; the couple had thirteen children. ","His younger brother, Commodore Thomas ap Catesby Jones (April 24, 1790–May 30, 1858), also born in Westmoreland County, entered the U.S. Navy as a midshipman in 1805. He was wounded and decorated for his command of the small American flotilla at the Battle of Lake Borgne in December 1814, where he delayed the British advance on New Orleans. Commanding the U.S. Pacific Squadron in 1842, he occupied Monterey, California, in the mistaken belief that the United States and Mexico were already at war; he was relieved but not censured. He died at \"Sharon,\" his Fairfax County estate, in 1858. ","Of Roger Jones's sons, four are represented in the Jones Family Papers collection. William Page Jones (1820–1841) graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1840 and died the following year. Catesby ap Roger Jones (April 15, 1821–1877), born at Fairfield Plantation in Frederick (now Clarke) County, Virginia, entered the U.S. Navy in 1836 and resigned his commission upon Virginia's secession in April 1861; as executive officer of the ironclad CSS Virginia, he took command of the ship on the second day of the Battle of Hampton Roads (March 9, 1862) after Captain Franklin Buchanan was wounded, fighting the USS Monitor in the first engagement between ironclad warships. Roger Jones (February 25, 1831–January 26, 1889) graduated from West Point in 1851 and rose to serve as Inspector General of the U.S. Army from 1888 until his death the following year; in April 1861, while commanding the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, he ordered the destruction of its weapons and stores rather than allow them to fall to advancing Virginia militia. Charles Lucian Jones (1835–1920) served as Assistant Paymaster in the Confederate Navy aboard the ironclad CSS Tennessee and remained active in United Confederate Veterans circles into the early twentieth century. A grandson, Catesby ap Lucian Jones, served as an officer in the U.S. Coast Artillery Corps during the First World War and continued in public service through the Second World War.

","This collection documents five generations of the Jones family, a Virginia military family, through commissions, correspondence, printed military orders, and personal artifacts. Most of the materials consists of military commissions, appointments, and presidential correspondence directed to Roger Jones (1789–1852), the longest-serving Adjutant General of the United States Army, with the bound commission volume documenting his career from his initial 1809 Marine Corps appointment through his death in office in 1852. A one page autograph letter from Edmund P. Gaines (1777-1849) to Roger Jones, dated March 2, 1828 and postmarked in Washington City is included. The letter commends Jones for \"his untiring vigilant gallantry and meritorious service in the Battle for which it was granted to his General and constant friend.\" On the verso of the page is a written indication of Jones's receipt of the letter the same day. Gaines was a senior commander in the United States Army and served in the War of 1812, the Seminole Wars, the Black Hawk Wars, and the later Mexican-American War. Jones served under Gaines during the British attempt to retake Fort Erie during the War of 1812. Other named recipients of commissions include the Revolutionary-era patriarch Catesby Jones (c. 1730–1800) (Virginia militia commissions, 1785–1794); his sons Roger Jones and Thomas ap Catesby Jones (1790–1858), U.S. Navy commodore; Roger Jones's sons William Page Jones (1820–1841), Catesby ap Roger Jones (1821–1877), Walter Jones, and Charles Lucian Jones (1835–1920); and the third-generation Catesby ap Lucian Jones, who received four officer's appointments in the U.S. Coast Artillery Corps, 1917–1918.

Ten autograph letters from Winfield Scott to Roger Jones, dated 1818 to 1855, form a notable correspondence series and document the close working relationship between Scott as senior field commander and Jones as Adjutant General across the War of 1812, the Second Seminole War, the Mexican-American War, and the early Civil War years. ","Subject content ranges across the United States' principal military engagements from the Revolutionary War through World War II, with particular density on the War of 1812 (engagements at Chippewa, Niagara, and Fort Erie), the Mexican-American War, and the American Civil War as experienced from both Union (Roger Jones, Inspector General; Catesby ap Lucian Jones) and Confederate (Catesby ap Roger Jones, who commanded the ironclad CSS Virginia on the second day of action against the USS Monitor at Hampton Roads; Charles Lucian Jones, Confederate Navy paymaster aboard the ironclad CSS Tennessee) perspectives.
