From Wikipedia.
Tuesday, I wrote about the USS Revenge being commanded by Jacob Nicholas Jones when it first entered service in the U.S. Navy. I have done a lot of research on him, but found no mention of his commanding the USS Revenge.
I also have already printed several entries about him. Just hit the Jones label at right.
In addition, before joining the U.S. navy, he was married to the daughter of Delaware Governor James Sykes who died sometime before he entered the Navy at age 31.
He is buried at the Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery in Wilmington, Delaware.

Battle of New Orleans.
