    Notes:

    By studying the inventory you can learn several things about Edward and his environment; for example, those things that had to be imported were more valuable than that which could be found in the old Dominion. the Taylor thimble and books were items which probably came from the old world. The books indicate that Edward was educated. He signed his name on a number of documents, but the inventory verifies that he could read and write. He owned not only books but also an "inkhorn" (inkwell) plus the silver sal with which he sealed his correspondence.

    Since it is believed that he was born in this country, he was probably educated by his fater who had been educated in the British Isles.

    After Edward's death Henry Prewett deeded 220 acres of land to Mary, land that he and her brother had patented together in 1686 and next door to her sister, Henry's wife. The land appears to have been the very land upon which Edward and Mary had be living.

    ...being part of a patent to me in 1686 on which I now live, next to Thomas Field's Creek and land where John Higledy lives and were Edward Jones dwelt. Winesses: Giles Webb, John Wilson.
