Gerald Jones, a descendant of Samuel C. Jones and Ransom Capps, provided the research on his ancestors. He found his data at the Texas Ranger Library and was granted permission to place Texas Ranger markers on their graves. The following information on their history is provided in this brief essay.

Samuel C. Jones was born in TN in 1793 and married in Whitley KY in 1823. He arrived in Texas about 1840 and in Bexar County by 1846. He served in the Mexican War in April 1847 to 1848.
