Miscellaneous Notes
Marjorie:
"They came from North Wales. That would be the slate area there. They came in 1886. Father Jones came first and then at the end of the year, after he'd found a place to live, Mother Jones came over with a little girl who died later - on a sailing boat. I have a picture somewhere of that sailboat. Father Jones knew when they got to Albany (New York) that he was going to the quarries in West Pawlet. And a friend of his, a man by the name of Frank Jones - no relation - was going to Granville, New York. But in Albany they shook hands and said good-bye. When they got to church - there were two Welsh churches in West Pawlet at that time - when they got to church that Sunday, there John W. Jones saw Frank and they were so surprised because they thought they were miles and miles apart. They always laughed about that."
