<center>COL. JOHN JONES OF DEDHAM AND HIS PATERNAL ANCESTORS IN AMERICA. 
By his grandson, Amos Perry, LL.D., of Providence, R. I.</center>

[p. 167]
:Col. Jones's grandfather was Josiah, born in 1643, in Roxbury, where his parents resided at that time. He died in Weston, Oct. 9, 1714; married Oct. 2, 1667, Lydia Treadway of Charlestown, who died Sept. 18, 1743, aged about 94 years. [snip]

:The father of Capt. Josiah was Lewis, who came to this country about 1640. He came it is said from England, though his surname is of Welsh origin, and the reddish or sandy hair and clear complexion of many of his descendants indicate Welsh extraction. He settled in Roxbury, where he and his wife Anna were members of John Eliot's church. He removed to Watertown in 1650, where he had various commerical transactions, including the purchase and sale of real estate. He made his will Jan. 7, 1678-9, and he died April 11, 1684, leaving four children, two sons and two daughters. His daughter Lydia married, Oct. 30, 1656, Jonathan Whitney, and his son Josiah was the executor of his will and was one of the pioneer settlers of that part of Watertown that subsequently became the town of Weston.

:July 4th, 1890. 250th Anniversary of the First White Settlement within the Territory of Winchester. 8m. 4to p. 32.

:This is the title of a pamphlet prepared for the 250th anniversary of the first white settlement within the territory of Winchester, Mass., held July 4, 1890. As a separate town Winchester is only forty years old, having been incorporated April 30, 1850. The pamphlet before us contains an "Historical Sketch of Winchester," giving a brief statement of the principal events in the territory and town of Winchester from 1640 to 1890, evidently prepared with much care. The compilers are Messrs. Arthur E. Whitney* and George S. Littlefield, a committee of the Winchester Historical Society, who acknowledge assistance received from Mr. William R. Cutter of Woburn. Appended are lists of the tablets marking historic sites erected in this town for the quarter millenary celebration; an official programme for the day; and some other matters. It makes a handsome pamphlet. The illustrations are views of the town hall and library, and of the Converse house, which, if erected in 1640, must have been much changed and improved since then. A full report of the celebration appeared in the Winchester Star, July 5.
