son of Manson and Sophia Jones (transcript of death record)
After graduating from Keesville Academy, Byron taught school in Ausable Forks and other New York towns. In 1864, Byron served as a citizen clerk in the commissary department, working there until the end of the Civil War.
Byron moved to Vermont in 1866, first working in Winooski as a meat dealer. In 1870, he moved across the river to Burlington, to join his brother Albert Jones and Sanford Weston in a meat and grocery business located at 195 College Street. In 1872, the business reorganized, and Byron continued to run the company with his brothers Albert and Nelson.
Byron retired from the grocery business in 1894, and spent some time traveling. He then returned to Burlington, and worked as the president of the Citizens Coal Company and in real estate until his death.
In 1882, Byron married Laura McKillip. They had two children.
From his obituary, published in the Burlington Free Press, January 4, 1905: "Mr. Jones was counted among the best of citizens. Of the strictest honor and integrity, sound judgment and business ability, his counsel was often sought and he was the friend and confidential adviser of a large number of people."
An obituary was also published in the Burlington Daily News (Burlington, Vermont) on January 4,1905.
