Robert Jones was granted a "township" in Amesbury, Massachusetts, in 1666, and the next year received "children's land" for his son.

He served under Captain Turner in th King Philip's war, and participated in the Falls Fight in 1686. He signed a petition in 1630, and the records show himself and wife to have been living in 1686. He is referred to as Robert Jones Senior in 1710. This is the last record of him, and his death does not appear.
