Notes
Henry Boswell Jones was born in Madison, Virginia in 1797 and moved to Brownsburg, Rockbridge County in 1832, with his bride, Sally Winthrow of Lexington, Virginia. Three children were born to the couple, David William, John Henry Boswell and Leonora Brown. Both sons fought for the Confederacy and took over the plantation after the passing of their father. Leonora married a medical doctor, William Alfred Jones. Henry Boswell Jones kept a detailed daily diary from 1842-1871 which reveals the life of a very public spirited man. He was a farmer, at times ran a saw mill, flour mill, a country store and engaged in public hauling. He was local Magistrate, Judge at the polls, Surveyor and Keeper of the local roads and president of both the Brownsburg and Middlebrook Turnpike Company and North River Canal and Navigation Company. He also served as deacon, elder and superintendent of Sunday School, and Captain of the Home Guard. Henry Boswell Jones died October 1, 1882.
