New York Age, 21 March 1959.
In late March 1959, the seven children of Wesley and Martha Taylor Jones — Mildred Jones Crittenden, Lucille Jones Peterson, Vernon Jones, Willia Jones Turner, John Wesley Jones, James Jones and Elroy Jones — threw a party in East Elmhurst, Queens, New York, to celebrate their parents’ 50th anniversary.

I was trying to get pictures of his son John Jones. Jones Elementary in Wilson is name after him.
I don’t personally possess photos of John Wesley Jones.
