Hugh Jones (professor)
Reverend Hugh Jones (1691–1760) is the most famous and accomplished of a sometimes confusing array of Anglican clergymen of the same name from the American colonies of Virginia and Maryland. Jones is best known for his authorship of ''(The Present State of Virginia, and a short view of Maryland and North Carolina )'' (London, 1724). For several years he taught mathematics at The College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia, where (Jones Hall ) is named for him.
== Birth and education ==
He appears to have been born in Herefordshire, England, just east of Wales, in the parish of Little Dewchurch. Alumni records at Oxford University list his matriculation to Jesus College in March 1708, age 17, placing his birth around 1691. He received the B.A. in 1712, according to these records, and the M.A. in 1716.〔See Grace Warren Landrum, "Which Hugh Jones?" ''The William and Mary Quarterly'' (October 1943): 474–492, 476. See also (Joseph Foster, ed., ''Alumni Oxonienses 1500–1714'' ).〕 In a deposition given at age 49 (1740), he said "That he learnt Arithmetick at School, studied Geometry, Geography and Astronomy in the University of Oxford;" that he there took the degrees of B.A. and M.A.; that "Doctor Robinson, then Bishop of London ... advised () to perfect himself, as well as Time would allow, in the Mathematicks, for that his Lordship intended to send him over to the Colledge of William and Mary in Virginia, as Professor of the Mathematicks. That, thereupon, () applied himself to the Study of Algebra (which he had not applied himself to before) under the Instruction of Mr. Hudson of Christ-Church, and was admitted Professor of Mathematicks in the Colledge of William and Mary aforesaid, in the Year 1717, and continued studying and teaching the Mathematicks there till 1721."〔Richard L. Morton, "The Reverend Hugh Jones: Lord Baltimore's Mathematician," ''The William and Mary Quarterly,'' (January 1950): 107–115, 112–13.〕
