  • Notes 
    • See book "History of Pittsylvania County," pgs 109 & 218
      Richard Jones was educated at Hampden Sydney College, being a very fine Latin Scholar, and taught school for two years at Lynchburg College. He was hired to teach at the newly formed Banister Academy, which was a wooden structure situated on road leading from Sheva to Clark's Bridge on Banister River. He married Mildred Ward Smith, daughter of Mr. Samuel Smith, of "Clifton," Bedford Co.
      Richard lived in Sheva outside Chatham, VA
      Sadly, Richard's first wife died at the age of 24, leaving children aged 1 and 4 years. The elder daughter would also tragically die young at the age of 25, leaving 3 daughters, the elder aged 3 and the other two newborn twins. All three girls would be raised by their grandfather Richard and his second wife Frances Jones (his 1st cousin). At least one of the granddaughters would go on to get college education at the Hollins Institute (forerunner of Hollins College).
      Richard and his children and second wife are all buried in the same cemetery.
