Thomas Jones (formerly Capt. Of H. M. 74th Regiment), succeeded Colin Campbell, Jr. as [fourth] Sheriff of Charlotte from 1843 to the time of his death in 1865. His death occurred at Naples, as the result of an accident. A white stone in the old burial ground marks his grave and the splendid fence recently erected around the lot from the proceeds of a legacy left by his son, Mr. Owen Jones, of London for that purpose will serve to perpetuate his memory.
