**Please note that there are several Thomas Jones of this time period. This memorial is for Thomas Jones, from Caversham, England, passenger on the Confidence (April 1638) and resident of Hingham, Hull, and Manchester, Massachusetts. This Thomas Jones is also a direct ancestor of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Not to be confused with Thomas Jones of Virginia, or the six other Thomas Jones who came to New England before 1640.**

Father: This memorial is currently linked to Robert Jones, but there is evidence Thomas' father may have been Roger Jones. Further research is needed.
