George Jones (U.S. Senator)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Jones (February 25, 1766 - November 13, 1838) was a United States Senator from Georgia. Born in Savannah, he received an academic training, studied medicine with his father, and practiced for a number of years. He participated in the American Revolutionary War and during 1780 and 1781 was imprisoned upon an English ship. He was later a member of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and during the War of 1812 he served as captain of a company of Savannah reserves. He was a member of the Savannah board of aldermen in 1793-1794, 1802-1803, and 1814-1815, and was mayor of Savannah from 1812 to 1814. He was appointed judge of the eastern judicial circuit of Georgia in 1804, and served until he became a U.S. Senator, appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Abraham Baldwin and serving from August 27, 1807, to November 7, 1807, when a successor was elected.
Jones died in Savannah and was interred in Bonaventure Cemetery.
Noble Wymberley Jones, George Jones' father, was a Georgia delegate to the Continental Congress.
