Yes, I know that supposed to be run, but John Paul was born in Scotland. He 
changed his name to add the Jones after  his original name was synonymous 
with piracy, shady deals, and murder. He wanted a fresh start, and after 
that, he did all those wonderous things that he is remembered in history 
for.

Just finished the page for John Paul Jones at 
http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/famamer/JJones.html

Thanks to James, Phoebe and Jeff South for their links and information. I 
especially like the link Phoebe supplied that included a link to book on 
John Paul Jones. Perhaps I will try to do indexes like that for others of 
the Famous Americans.

As always, the summary page is intended to be read to or ready by children 
in primary school, and the links are there to help the older ones find more 
information.

As for the fuddy-duddies who complain when some of us indulge in "trivia", 
take a look at where it leads. Next to be done is Nat Turner, so anyone with 
links to him, send them on. I may not get to work on it tomorrow since we 
will be celebrating 25 years of wedded bliss, and the day after is my 
birthday. But, I will get to Natty by the end of the week.
