About the time of the death of his father-in-law he returned to Barkhamsted and lived at the "old home" until 1830, when he sold out and emigrated to Wayne, Ohio. At that time his brother, Anson, was living in Wayne and owned quite a large tract of land on both sides of the Hayes road, about one and a half miles south of where Wick postoffice is now located. Drayton purchased from Anson this property, Anson removing about five or six miles north into Cherry Valley. Drayton was a successful farmer, and acquired a good property. Sgt Jones was a member of Capt. Webster's company; served Sept. 13 to Nov. 1, 1813. No record of "where served" but probably in Conn. Drayton Jones fell through a scaffold over the barn floor, alighting on the cylinder of a threshing machine while it was in motion. He was mangled and torn in a shocking manner. He lived, however, about four days. He was a prominent Mason and was the 3rd person to preside over "Northern Star #58," at Barkhamsted, Conn. Drayton Jones was an energetic, positive, and progressive man. Upright in his dealings, he won the confidence and respect of his neighbors and townsmen, who profoundly lamented his untimely death. His wife was a daughter of The Hon. Robert & Clymena Wilcox. [Mr. Wilcox was a prominent man where he resided in Connecticut; served Barkhamsted as selectman numerous terms, and represented the town in the general assembly in 1807, 1810 and 1811.] From: History & Genealogy of the Ancestors and Descendants of Captain Israel Jones.
