Jones Family,PG 82): "Scott Jones was born April 24, 1861, at The Nook Homestead. Of three pairs of twins born to S. W. R. and Elizabeth Jones, Scott and Harrison were the only pair to reach maturity. They were not identical in appearance, as Scott was the taller; but the resemblance became more marked as they grew to manhood, so that occasionally one was mistaken for the other."

He was born April 1, 1961, on the donation land claim of his parents, S.W.R. and Elizabeth Jones, near Gervais, who crossed the plains to Oregon in 1853 and has lived all of his life as a farmer within a radius of two miles of his birthplace.
