   Isaiah Jones, farmer, Newtown, was born October 26, 1833, on the Big Shawnee,
in Shawnee township. He was the son of Isaiah and Leah (Slaughter) Jones. In
1827 his father came out from Ohio to view the country, and was so impressed
with its natural advantages that he resolved to emigrate, which he did the next
year. He leased a farm from David Bookwater in Shawnee township, and lived there
a few years; after this he moved to Richland township and entered a tract of 160
acres, one half lying in this and the other in Shawnee township. He also entered
eighty acres of woodland in Van Buren. Mr. Jones' mother died May 26, 1861, aged
sixty-five years, and his father January 25, 1877, aged eighty-four. He was
married October 2, 1862, to Rebecca Jane, daughter of Isaac Rice, an early
settler and leading citizen of Richland township. She was born March 5, 1843.
They have three children living and two dead: Elizabeth, born September 21,
1863; William Isaac, April 8, 1866; Delia May, January 25, 1869; Addie Lee,
November 6, 1871; and an infant, deceased. He is a democrat.
