Augusta Chronicle, Saturday, November 25, 1826
From the Augusta Chronicle, Saturday, November 25, 1826

"Another Limb has dropped from the Tree of the Revolution!"
Died, on the 13th inst. at the residence of T. Dooly Esq. in Columbia county, 
Ga. ADAM JONES, Esq. aged 67 years. Mr. Jones was one of the very few relics 
which time had left us of the War of the Revolution through the whole of which 
conflict he bore arms. -- He was in most of the memorable battles which took 
place in the Southern States: the defeat of Gaines, Guilford C. H. & c. and at 
the capture of York-town, when the last blow was struck in a contest which gave 
freedom to a world. To repeat such interesting incidents, is eulogy sufficient -
- it is enough to awaken our gratitude, and consecrate the memory of the 
departed; but Mr. Jones had other claims, in his private virtues, to our 
esteem; and he has left many behind him, who will long remember him with 
affectionate regret.
