• Notes

  Mary Ridley was the third child of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Day Ridley, born about 1706. She married Francis Jones, sone of Francis and Unknown Tignal Jones of Warwick County, VA. He was a nephew of her stepfather, Matthew Jones. It seems likely that Francis and Mary Ridley Jones started out married life on a 200 acre plantation acquired from Nathaniel Jones on the north side of the west prong of the Cypress Swamp in Nottaway Parish, Isle of Wight County, VA. They sold the land in 1740 and moved to Edgecombe County, NC where he received a land grant in 1744. She is said to have been living in 1784. Francis Jones died in Edgecombe by August of 1755. he mentioned thirteen children in his will, but the order of their birth is not certain.
