In the first US Federal Census of 1790 (actually dated 3 January 1791), Nathaniel Jones was enumerated as No. 164, living next door to his father, Nehemiah Jones (No. 165), in Fredericks Town (renamed Franklin aft. 1795, Paterson aft. 1808), Dutchess Co. (the area becoming part of the new Putnam Co. aft. 1812), New York. He appears as "head" and is listed as a male with one spouse and one son under the age of 16. From this, we know he married his wife Phebe (Waring) Jones (1768-1855) sufficiently before the date of America's first census. In the same census, both Nathaniel and Phebe are shown living near her father, Thaddeus Waring (1744-1822), No. 155.
Thaddeus Waring soon moved with his daughter and son-in-law, Nathaniel Jones, to Berne, Albany Co., New York where by 20 January 1797 all reside within Grid 494, Lot 494 (189 9/10 acres), as the first settlers on this lot (on Sickle Hill Road) in a direct leasehold from Stephen Van Rensselaer III. The original Waring/Jones leasehold is one of the earliest extant written records in the Van Rensselaer Archive, Columbia University.
Eventually (between 1830-1840 according to the US Federal Census), Nathaniel and Phebe headed for the fertile lands of Huntersland, Schoharie Co., several miles to the west of Berne, and just beyond the far western border of what once had been Rensselaerville Manor.
All their children except the first three (Lydia, Eli, Thaddeus) were born in Berne, Albany Co., New York roughly in the years between 1794-1815.
Their son, Thaddeus Jones (1796-1867), eventually took over the Huntersland property established by Nathaniel and Phebe. The home and original Jones property, still a working farm today, look remarkably unchanged and are just a short distance from the cemetery on Huntersland Road.
