Roger Jones: Roger ap Catesby Jones (1789-1852)-- Part 1

From Wikipedia.

Still on the Catesby ap Jones family.  This was the father of Civil War Catesby ap Roger Jones mentioned in the previous post.

Roger ap Catesby ap Jones was both an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army.  He was also the longest-ever serving adjutant general of the Army.

An important member of the distinguished United States military family whose members held commissions in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, World War I and World War II.  )What, no Spanish-American War?)

His brother was  Thomas ap Catesby Jones of the U.S. navy in War of 1812 fame.

Many of his children went on to serve both in the U.S. and Confederate service.
