Delmont Jones, his daughter and which Jones this Delmont is

see page 337.
There are several hints, but no proof, that the Jones were related to the owners of Jones and McLaughlin Steel in W. Va. W. I. Mann worked for them for a while. My best efforts have not untangled this mess. Can you?

Jerome reminded me that we have a genealogy prepared by Ton. Herewith the solution:
Delmont Jones, born Pennsylvania on 3 Aug 1803, died Pittsburgh, PA on 30 Dec 1878, married on
2 Apr 1826, (they had two twins)
with Mary Ann
Carr Jones, daughter of Edward Carr and Elizabeth
Eliza Sanders, born London, England on
16 Jun 1802, died on 2 Mar 1875.
From this marriage:
6. Jemima Jones,
born on 12 Dec 1835.
We still need to know if there was a relationship between 'our' Jones and Jones and McLaughlin Steel.

Just to save you from spending any time going down a blind alley, I believe the correct name of the company is "Jones and Laughlin".
ah ... thanks
I checked out Benjamin Franklin Jones of Jones and Laughlin and couldn't find a connection. There was huge Welsh immigration to Pennsylvania in several waves, and Jones is a very common name in Wales to this day. Since it comes from "John's son" lots of separate families ended up with the name when surnames were introduced. But if someone else can find different, then fine.
