Jones, Thomas Ap Catesby

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Jones, Thomas Ap Catesby (1790–1858)

US naval officer. His career (1805–50) included service in the War of 1812 and the drawing up of a treaty with King Kamehameha III of the Sandwich (now Hawaiian) islands in 1826. He was temporarily relieved of his command after he seized Monterey, California, in 1842 before formal hostilities had begun between the USA and Mexico. He served in the Mexican War, but was court-martialled in 1850 for the misuse of funds.

He was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
