• Complier's Note: 1994; Pope says "William Jones of Cambridge was a proprietor there in 1635 Probably he is the same William Johnes painter.' late of Sandwich,Eng now of New England whose wife Margaret came in the Hercules in March 1634. She was accused of being a witch tried and hung in 1648. Her husband desired soon after to ship for Barbadoes, but was imprisoned." There seems to have been one William Jones in this vicinity at the time, but there is very little on record about him. The only child given in the records is Thomas born 1645. I have been trying to find the parents of William Johnes.
