Person:Elijah Jones (16)

No definitive record of Elijah's birth has been found. The assignment of parentage to Nathaniel Alden Jones and Lois Claflin is based on the names of children Louisa Claflin (for putative mother) and Anthony (for putative paternal grandfather). It is worth noting that none of Nathaniel & Lois's children appear in published VRs.

Elijah died intestate; in his probate record, the following heirs signed in approval of the disposition of the estate: Mehitabel Jones (for herself and for Lydia, Mitta and Loisa Jones), Mehitable Barrell, Nelson Barrell, Elijah F Jones (for himself and for Maria and Benjamin Herick), and Russell Haynes (as guardian for Meschach H, Avery, and Anthony Jones).
