From The American Genealogist, Volume 58, p. 244-246:
"George Jones, born about 1572, died in 1626, the year his will was written and probated. In the will he names a brother Thomas, but nothing further is known about his parents.
"He and his wife Agnes lived at Dinger, Somerset, where their first known child was born in 1598. Actually, we have no evidence that Agnes was the mother of the children, but no indication otherwise either. The first mention of her name is in his will. George, an innkeeper, was respected in the community, being one of the churchwardens in 1621.
"He prepared his will the 'last daye of Aprill 1626,' and it was probated 20 Nov 1626. He gave 'unto my wief all the Howshould stuff that I have in Croscombe and also I give her one Coverled wch is at the Inde (Inn) in Brownes keeping Soe shee delivr tjat coverlet wch is my daughter Dorothie by guifte of hir Grandmother wcj shee have in her custodye; to Poore of Dinder Three shillings fower pence; unto my sonne richard Twoe shillings; unto my daughter Elizabeth the Lease of the Howse or Tenement wch I have at Croscombe after the decease of Agnis my wief; And all the rest of my goodes unto my daughters Dorothie & Elizabeth.' He appointed the two daughters as Executrices, and 'My overseers is my brother Thomas and Henrie Hodges.' Witnesses were Joh Hix and Richard Wilmott."
