Looking at the profile for Peter Jones-24585, there's text from a deed that has a lot of info (tying "Cadwalader Jones of Williamsburgh" to "his father, Peter Jones, [by will] dated 26 Oct 1734" - also in the quote is a reference to the 974 acres "patent to the said Peter Jones, the father, dated 2 Nov 1726" and more). That sort of info could map out the family.
update (17 April 2023) - Dionetia connection overrides the "not known" concern... I think that in 2021, I was looking at the Hampshire County, Virginia Peter, born 1739 in Wales.
2nd update - merge completed

Jones-79539 and Jones-38484 appear to represent the same person because: same wife - the son of Peter & Mary (Jones) Jones is said to have married Dionetia Ravenscroft - so these two profiles appear to represent the same person and should be merged. Thanks!
