Humphrey Jones "I" married Mary Dale (a daughter of Edward Dale and Diana Skipwith....as I recall, there was/is some "British royal blood" in that line), and they had a son who was named Humphrey Jones "II." Humphrey Jones "II" married Elizabeth Unknown (unknown to me, anyway...unless there is something "buried" in my notes somewhere on her), and they had a son who was named Humphrey Jones "III." Humphrey Jones "III" married Catherine Carter (from the same overall family as Robert "King" Carter of VA....but she was not his "direct-line descendant"). After Humphrey Jones "III" died, his widow Mrs. Catherine (Carter) Jones married second to Major Maurice Smith of Middlesex Co., VA (Maurice left his Will in Middlesex Co., VA in 1795; he was a descendant of the "family immigrant" to America who was named Alexander Smith). Another member of this same overall Smith family married a descendant of Giles Webb in "next-door" Essex Co., VA. In addition, there was also another/unrelated Smith family in Essex Co., VA....that was headed by a Nicholas Smith and his son Colonel Francis Smith (who married Lucy Meriwether and Anne Adams)....and that unrelated Smith family also married into the same Webb family (a "Webb brother" (James Webb, as I recall) married a woman in the "Colonel Francis Smith line," and his "Webb sister" married a man (Samuel Smith) in the unrelated "Alexander Smith line"). Essex Co., VA is on the other (South) side of the Rappahannock River from Richmond Co., VA. Richmond Co., VA and the City of Richmond, VA are often confused. The area North of the river (where Richmond Co., VA is today) eventually became the North Farnham Parish, and area South of the river became the South Farnham Parish. Giles Webb is typically shown as having been born in the Richmond Co., VA area. There were also several men who were named Rice Jones in what is today the Middlesex Co., VA area. One of them married an Elizabeth Croshaw, and they had a son who was also named Humphrey Jones (so there were apparently AT LEAST the above FOUR men named Humphrey Jones who were in that general area of VA at various times in the 1600s/1700s). Another man who was named Rice Jones, Junior married a Jane Cock/Cocke (a daughter of a Nicholas Cock). When Rice Jones, Junior died, his widow Mrs. Jane (Cock) Jones married second to a Lt. John Smith (a son of the "family immigrant" Alexander Smith mentioned above). That Lt. John Smith (died abouut 1696, as did his father Alexander Smith) was the grandfather of the above-mentioned Major Maurice Smith. I see conflicting information on the internet about the name of the father of this Rice Jones, Junior....but one would think that the father was probably also named Rice Jones. I do not know how/if the various men who were named Rice Jones were related to Humphrey Jones "I," "II" and "III." As I recall, the Will of one of the men named Rice Jones referred to one of the men who were named Humphrey Jones as "my friend"....though I would certainly not be too surprised if they were all actually cousins.
