OLD HOMES AND FAMILIES IN NOTTOWAY By W. R. Turner THE POPLARS, one and a half miles north of Blendon, was one of the oldest settlements in Nottoway County, then Amelia, and was the seat of the Jones family. Major Richard Jones who lived here was the son of Col Richard Jones and was of Welsh descent. According to tradition he was of the same family as Peter Jones who opened a trading station with the Indians at Peter's Point, which place was later called Petersburg. Major Jones was married three times. His first wife was Mary Robertson, of Amelia. Dr. James Jones, of Mountain Hall, was a son by this marriage.

His second wife was the widow Nicholson, nee Fletcher, a sister of Captain James Fletcher of Somerset. There were two sons by this marriage, Captain Richard Jones of Bellefonte and Nathan Jones. His third wife was the widow Campbell of Blendon, nee Harris. There was one child, a daughter, by this marriage, Elizabeth Harris Jones, who married Dr. George S. G. Bacon.
