He was an early pioneer to the Caesar, Mississippi area and is said to be the third white man in this general area. He was sent by the U.S. Government to be a peace officer and Indian agent when West Florida, east of Pearl River was taken into the MississippiTerritory after 1812. He settled in the midst of the Choctaw Indian town which was the seat of Indian government in this area. He worked with his brother, Captain Robert Jones, to recruit Indians to become part of the army of General Jackson to take part in the campaign to suppress the Indian outbreaks. He built the first jail in the now Pearl River and Hancock Counties. It was originally a pit about 8 feet deep and lined on the sides with logs which was built near his home. He along with some Choctaw Indians and missionary Varnado built a small log Baptist church near the great oak that the Indians worshiped under and which is the present site of the Union Baptist church at Caesar.
