      The Family of Isaac Jones of Barkhamsted, Conn, and Hartford, Ohio

      No. 54

      Isaac Jones, with his father-in-law, Edward Brockway, and Asahel Brainard, who was afterwards Mr. Jones' son-in-law, were the pioneers of Hartford, O. In the summer and fall of 1799, they erected a cabin, cleared a piece of land and sowed it to

      p. 212

      wheat, after which Brockway and Jones returned to Connecticut for their families, leaving Brainard alone to continue the work already begun. Mr. Brainard spent a quiet winter in the wilderness, and employed his time in chopping a more extensive clearing. The return of his partners in the spring of 1800, with their families, must have been a joyful time for him after being deprived of congenial society for so long. Mr. Jones passed the balance of his life in Hartford, and lived to see the wilderness blossom, and the solitary cabin give way to a village, which was named Burg Hill.

      Children of Isaac and Abigail (Brockway) Jones, of Hartford, Conn., and Hartford, O., their children being the sixth generation:
