Biography

Robert Jones was born on September 25, 1573, in either Reading, Berkshire or Caversham, Oxfordshire, in England. His parents are sometimes shown as: ^[1] Robison Beaver ancestors - Robert Jones

Father: William Jones, b: 1536 in Bridgewater, Somerset, England

Mother: Alice [Unknown] Jones, b: 1540 in Somerset, England

^[2] The GenMaster Series - Thomas (Immigrant) Jones Robert is not listed as a child of this couple per "Genealogical Research in England." New England Historical and Genealogical Register. 82:62. (1928)

In about 1601, in Caversham, Oxfordshire, Robert Jones married Agnes Dole Noel, b: 1572 in St Mary, Reading, Berkshire, England. The couple lived in Caversham, Oxfordshire, England. There they had their son:

1. Thomas Jones b: June 7, 1602 in Caversham, Oxfordshire, England

When Robert and Agnes decided to emigrate to New England in 1635, they did not take their son Robert or his family with them. They embarked aboard the HMS Abigail of London, Richard Hackwell, Master. She sailed for New England from June 4 until July 24, and sailed from Plymouth, England as her last port of departure, about August 1, with 220 persons aboard and many cattle. She arrived at Boston, Massachusetts, about October 8, infected with smallpox.

Apparently both Robert and Agnes died either from that terrible malady or some other illness almost immediately after their arrival in Hingham, Plymouth Colony (Massachusetts), New England. Most family genealogies indicate they both died in 1635, the year they arrived. It is certain that they were no longer there when their son, Thomas Jones, and his family disembarked at Hingham in 1638.
