John had a typical education at Eton, Oxford and Lincoln's Inn, before returning to Chastleton for the quiet life of a gentleman. The estate was solvent at this point, thanks to the careful management by his mother, but was in debt again by the time John died in 1738.
The will of John Jones stipulated that should the Jones line die out, that the house should pass to descendants of his mother, the Whitmore's, as it did nearly 100 years later.
Henry Jones IV
Henry was married to Elizabeth Hancock, and much of their time appears to have been spent entertaining and hosting their family and friends.
