Officially, the father of Dept. Gov. William Jones of New Haven is not known.
Family tradition says that he was the son of Col. John Jones, one of the Regicides who condemned King Charles I to death -- one of the unlucky ones, who was hanged when Charles II regained the English Throne. This is told in the "Isaac Jones Memoirs," apparently written by the son of Isaac Jones and Sybil Benjamin, and the great-great-grandson of Dept. Gov. William Jones. According to the record, Col. Jones married (1) Margaret Edwards and married (2) abt. 1623/1625, Henrietta Morgan Williams, sister of Oliver Cromwell, widow Whetstone. Caroline Sanford also included this parentage for William in her "Record of My Ancestry". There is absolutely no proof that this is so.
The history behind the death of King Charles I as found in Microsoft Encarta 1995 is that Parliament refused to raise an army, under the king's control, to put down a rebellion in Ireland, because they were afraid the king would use it against them. They issued the Grand Remonstrance, a list of reform demands, including the right of Parliament to approve the king's ministers. Charles appeared in the House of Commons with an armed force and tried to arrest Pym and four members. The country was aroused, and the king fled London with his family. Both sides raised armies. Charles gave himself up to the Scottish army on 5 May 1646. He refused to accept Presbyterianism and was delivered in June 1647 to the English Parliament. Later he escaped to the Isle of Wight, but was imprisoned there. Eventually the moderate Parliamentarians were forcibly ejected by the Independents, and the remaining legislators, called the Rump Parliament, appointed a court to try the king. The court met 20 January 1649 in Westminster Hall. Charles denied the legality of the court and refused to plead. On 27 January he was sentenced to death as a tyrant, murderer, and enemy of the nation. Scotland protested, the royal family entreated, and France and the Netherlands interceded, in vain. He was beheaded at Whitehall, London, on 30 January 1649.
