Biographical History
Epithet: of Augusta Georgia
Charles Colcock Jones was a Presbyterian clergyman, professor, and missionary to African-American slaves. He was born at Liberty Hall plantation in Liberty County, Georgia, the son of John Jones, a wealthy planter, and Susannah Hyrne Girardeau. Jones attended the Sunbury Academy, in Sunbury, Georgia (1811-1819); Phillips Academy, in Andover, Massachusetts (1825-1827); Andover Theological Seminary (1827-1829); and Princeton Theological Seminary (1829-1830). After graduating from Princeton, he returned to Georgia and married his first cousin Mary Jones. They had three children. Ordained by the Georgia Presbytery, in May 1831 he accepted a call to be pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Savannah. Eighteen months later he resigned his pastorate, returned to a family plantation in Liberty County, and began his work as a missionary to the African-American slaves of the region.
Charles Colcock Jones (1804-1863), Presbyterian clergyman and planter, married Mary Jones and resided in Liberty County, Georgia. His son, Charles Colcock Jones Jr. (1831-1893), lawyer and historian, married first Ruth Berrien Whitehead, then Eva Berrien Eve and resided in Savannah, Georgia.
Charles Colcock Jones (1804-1863) was the secular and spiritual leader of his family. His ancestors included his grandfather, Major John Jones, who moved from South Carolina to Georgia before the American Revolution. C.C. Jones's father, also named John Jones, died in 1805; his mother died in 1810, leaving him an orphan. He studied at the Andover Theological Seminary and the Princeton Theological Seminary. He married Mary Jones (1806-1869), a first cousin, in 1829. After his ordination as a minister, C.C. Jones served as a pastor to the First Presbyterian Church in Savannah. In 1832, he returned to Liberty County to attend to his family's plantations, Montevideo, Maybank, and Arcadia. C.C.Jones served as professor of ecclesiastical history at the Columbia, S.C., Theological Seminary and as Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Domestic Missions in Philadelphia. Toward the end of his life, he kept a diary in his almanacs containing observations on the early years of the Civil War.
