32. CATESBY AP ROGER JONES. 



CATESBY AP ROGER JONES was born in Clarke county, Virginia, about 1830. 

 He became a midshipman under his father's brother, Thomas ap Catesby Jones, 

 then in command of an exploring expedition. Later he served in the United States 

 Coast Survey with Maury. He studied with Dahlgren. When his State seceded 

 he went with her, in June 1861. At this time the Federal government abandoned 

 the Norfolk Navy-yard, and as it did so burned or scuttled the naval vessels at 

 the wharves. The new steam frigate Merrimac had been sunk and Lieutenant 

 Jones was intrusted with the task of raising her. He also wholly reconstructed her 

 so as to make an ironclad steam ram, rechristened the Virginia. When she was 

 ready Jones was executive officer and third in command, Buchanan being cap- 

 tain. On the second day's engagement, that with the Monitor, both of his superiors 

 were wounded and the command of the Virginia devolved upon Jones; but he could 

 do nothing against the Monitor. He was superseded by Commodore Tatnall, 

 who was unable to effect anything against the Monitor. Jones died in 1877. 



Jones was a man of great purity of life and practice, quiet and firm, but very 

 determined in time of danger. His work on the Merrimac puts him in the rank 

 of great naval constructors. His pedigree clearly shows that he was of fighting 

 stock.
