David Jones was christened 12 November 1801at a farm called Penlanfach at Penlan located in the parish of Cardigan. He went to America some time after his last son was born 27 July 1848 and worked in the coal mines 4 miles from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and was killed in a coal mine accident in 1850. According to the last letter received by the family, still in England, he had almost enough money saved to send for the family. He was buried at Wilkes-Barre, and the money was never recovered by the family.
