William Carvosso Jones was the fifth-born child of Thomas James Jones (1816-1865) of Baltimore City, Maryland and Margaret Ann Connally (1826-1912) of Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
William born April 19, 1852 in Milton, Caswell County, North Carolina was a brother to:
Priscilla Ann Jones (1845-1925)
Rebecca Lewis Jones (1847-1848)
Mildred Hundley Jones (1848-1934)
Georgianna Jones (1850-1875)
Thomas Oldham Jones (1856-1909)
Mary Elizabeth Jones (1858-1917)
Franklin Beauregard Jones (1860-1931)
William (often called W.C.) was married January 10, 1878 to Lucy Margaret Tuck a native of Iredell County, North Carolina. It was in Iredell they made their home. Lucy and William had five children:
James Ragland Jones (1880-1933)
Thomas Tuck Jones (1882-1959)
Mary Ethel Jones (1883-1977)
Allmond Hill Jones (1888-1951)
William Carvosso Jones II (1893-1973)
July 13, 1898 William enlisted in the U.S. Army, Company H; 1st NC Infantry of Volunteers, during the Spanish American War. He was honorably discharged April 22, 1899 in Savannah, Georgia.
Lucy died October 5, 1904 and was buried at Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, North Carolina. Allmond, 15 and William Jr. 10 were still at home. The family moved from 276 Southside Ave to #18 Blake in Asheville and William operated a Fruit Stand on the corner of Eagle & Main.
In 1913 William, along with son William Jr. opened a cigar, fruit & tobacco stand at 43 South Main Street. In 1913 William is also listed in Asheville City Directory as a clerk on Biltmore Estate. He is still listed as a clerk on Biltmore when George Vanderbilt died March 6, 1914. Circumstances changed for many at Biltmore as a result of the death of Mr. Vanderbilt. One change in particular was William’s marriage to Emily Rand King, who was the head housekeeper at Biltmore House.
Sometime between William's marriage to Emily R. King May 2, 1914 and the opening of Biltmore Inn in Apopka September 10, 1915, the couple moved to Florida. History provides that citrus fruit had become the “cash crop” in the Winter Garden area of Apopka with the arrival of the Orange Belt Railway in 1886. The newly wed King-Joneses would now be the growers and shippers rather than buyers of the winter fruit.
September 10, 1915 was the Grand Opening date of the newly built 25 room establishment called Biltmore Inn. The advertisement read:
