Thomas Williamson Jones was raised in Brunswick County, Va., graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1810, studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and practiced medicine in Brunswick County. The collection includes letters, chiefly to Thomas Williamson Jones, physician of Brunswick County, Va., from his sister, Lucy C. Jones, at school in Warrenton, N.C.; his brother, John Cargill Jones, at schools in Virginia and Chapel Hill, N.C., and at the University of North Carolina, 1812-1814, concerning life at the University, including student riots in 1814; his mother, Lucy Binns Cargill Jones, and aunt in Virginia; and other students at the University of North Carolina and the University of Pennsylvania, 1820-1824. Two letters, 1830s, were written by Jones's son, Samuel Goode Jones, from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., to his mother, Mary Armistead Jones, then a widow.
