  1. 2.  Colonel John Jones was born about 1595 in Maes-y-Garnedd, Merionethshire, Wales (son of Thomas Jones and Ellen Wynn); died on 17 Oct 1660.

    Notes:

    Regicide. Jones was selected as one of the king's judges, attended the trial with great regularity, and signed the death-warrant (Noble, Lives of the Regicides, i. 372).

    (Research):His descendant, Captain James Jones, later Skelton, had a daughter, Jemima, who married Charles, 1st Marquess of Cornwallis. This contadicts the statement that Cathering and he had no issue.

    Possible links to Col. Philip Jones of Fonmon Castle, who was 'called to the upper House by Cromwell

    Died:
    He was executed for being one of the King's jidges, together with Adrian Scroop, on 17 Oct. 1660, and died with great courage and dignity.

    Notes:

    by John Jones she had no issue - but this does not explain the claim that Jemima Jones, wife of Catherine, 1st Marquess of Cornwallis, is a descendant

    (Research):Said to be Oliver Cromwell's eldest sister, and elsewhere the second daughter - so did her older femal siblings die young?

    or 1597
