Thomas Jones aka Thomas English Jones was my 3rd great-grandfather.  He was born in England.  When he was about 25 he had to have his leg amputated above the knee.  A couple of years later his wife died.  He then joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and emigrated to the United States.  He lived in Nauvoo, Illinois, United States until the Saints moved west to Utah.  He traveled across the plains with the Heber C. Kimball company.  He is an example to me of enduring well to the end.
