Jones was the son of Anthony and Dorothy Jones, one of nine children. He came to Wisconsin in 1847, settled in Iowa County, farming and mining until 1850. In that year he settled at New California, Grant Co., Wisconsin (now a ghost town) and engaged in the real estate business. Later he became a merchant and then turned again to the lead mines where he had interests in both Iowa and Grant Counties, Wisconsin. In Buchanan's administration he was appointed postmaster of New California and was also town clerk for a number of years. Subsequently he served as a county board member and county treasurer. In 1866 he sold his other interests and bought a farm near Platteville and engaged in breeding fancy blooded horses and cattle. He also owned and operated a dairy. He was a Republican in his politics. Both he and his wife were Congregationalists. Both are buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Platteville, Wisconsin.
