Subject: Roger Jones, Frederick Jones and Blackbeard From: Joe Jones Date: January 20, 2000 In a previous post, I mentioned the reported connection between Captain Roger Jones, his son, Frederick and the famous pirate, Blackbeard. For those who might be interested, one source is the following article about pirates off the Virginia and North Carolina coasts in the late 1600's and early 1700's. http://www.lacoe.edu/cia/history/williamsburg98/walker.html There are numerous sources concerning Roger's political involvement and the accusations against him, but this is the only source I have seen concerning his son Frederick and the pirate Blackbeard. Would be interested in hearing from anyone researching these subjects.
