I represent William Jones. I was an ensign in the Maryland Loyalists Regiment in the Maryland Loyalists Regiment that was raised in 1777. We saw action at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 before being sent later that year to West Florida to defend Pensacola and Mobile against the Spanish. I was commissioned on May 1, 1778. Those of us who survived until the surrender of Pensacola were sent to New York with the rest of the prisoners of war. I died while we were still in New York under prisoner status, on December 24, 1781
