Two of Jones's children became notable in their own right: Charles Colcock Jones, Jr. (1831–1893), a Georgia lawyer, historian, and amateur archaeologist; and Joseph Jones (1833–1896), a Louisiana physician and medical school professor.
Born on 28 June 1818 at New Church in Winwick, Lancashire, he was eldest son of Joseph Jones, at the time vicar of Winwick and later of Repton, Derbyshire, by his wife Elizabeth Joanna Cooper of Derby.
