The chart shows a tree of XIV generations, although the Jones Family ceases in the 8th generation.

1. Sir Roger was a cadet of the house of Jones of Llantisilio Hann, Co. Denbigh, N. Wales. He

settled in Ireland

2. Thomas lived at Benadah, (his father's tomb is in Sligo Church) an old frontier castle of the

O'Hara's By the old obsoletel law of Inistry, I should i ntent the chieftainship of this branch of the O’Haras extinct in the male line, as the eldest male representative of the oldest descendant in the female line . .

5. Eleanor Kelly was known as "Eleanor the Good".

6. Frances is Mrs. Walker, whose husband was curate of Chesham (page 1). M.Walker's father was

Recorder of Dublin.

9. The sisters were at school with some of my sisters though they did not then know of

the connection.

It was the Rev. Father Jones who wrote to me so fully and kindly from Beunos, St. Asaph . . In

"the National Review", Nov. 1892, I read about the General Chapter of the Jesuits and the election of "The Black Pope" or "General of the Order of Jesus" Provincial; Father Peter Galloway, and Father Jones. Both these two last have been Provincials. Father Jones has been for many years a Professor of Moral Theology at St. Beunos, AH! of course! a Casonist [?] some may exclaim. Yes, my dear Exeter-Hall-ite, Casnist [?] if you will, but also one of the greatest lawyers in England. In the "Beauties of England" I read thus "Llandysillio Hall, the seat of Thomas Jones, Esq. is a handsome brick built structure, consisting of a centre and two advanced wings, comprising of several spacious rooms. The situation, however is too flat for the house to have an advantagious effect. Yet, standing upon the banks where the river makes most of its capricious turns, the back ground of mountains, whose bases are well clothed with wood and the side screen a narrow valley, winding between hills which bound a small hart, fertile in corn and grass, the whole presents a pleasing group of scenery.

Again, in the history of Sligo by Lt. Col. Wood Martin, Dublin, 1889, I find "In 1607 Roger

Jones was Constable of Sligo and returned as receiving neither fees nor pensions. Sir Roger Jones, Custor Rotuborum died in 1637 and was buried in St. John's Church, Sligo. "Lady Jones' Castle and O"Crean's Castle are mentioned as two centres of defence in the town of Sligo for the Irish Roman Catholic Gentry against the Protestant Military. Note: "Castle", often, in Irish phraseology, seems to have meant simply a strong house.

The elder brother left a property of some £1000 a year to Eden Smith and the 2nd brother,

lesser property to his namesake and nephew Charles Swainson. All the boys were educated at Charter House or one of the best public schools and at Oxford or Cambridge. I noticed that some of the sons have taken their mother's name of Swainson in lieu of Smith. They are, as a family, talented, and their talent they get from their father undoubtedly. Of those in No. 8, I notice the children of Canon Henry Smith, Vicar of Grange, Morecombe Bay. Their mother was an exceedingly fine and handsome woman and their maternal uncles were giants - the elder being 6"6" and the other two brothers stood 6'4". It will be seen (next page) that I have omitted a generation here - Canon Henry Smith's name .
