From Ethel Farrington Smith’s article “Seventeenth Century Hull, Massachusetts, and Her People”:109
Robert was a child when he accompanied his family to Hingham. Later he spent a few years at Rehoboth, returning to Hingham until his marriage, when he apparently moved to Hull. On 28 October 1651, Anne Bibble, then of age and single, signed a petition requesting that the Reverend Marmaduke Matthews remain as minister at Malden; she and Robert probably married soon after that date. Records show that they cared for Anne’s parents until the death of her father at Hull on 21 July 1653 when they and their son John inherited from him. After the birth of their second child, Robert moved his family back to Rehoboth, where he bought land from Robert Titus 23 March 1653/4 and was settled by September of that year. On 24 January 1666 they were at Swansea, Massachusetts, formerly part of Rehoboth; on that date ‘Robert Jones propounded and in the declaration of his faith & experiences gave full satisfaction and is to be admitted to comunion with us the next sabbath...’ (Swansea Church Records, Register, 139[1985]:25).
King Philip’s War brought great tragedy to this family. The Hingham home of Robert’s brother Joseph was burned by Indians. On 24 June 1675 there was a skirmish at Swansea, during which Robert Jones, his son John, and his son-in-law Joseph Lewis were all killed and scalped by Indians (TAG, 31:97). In 1679 Robert was granted posthumous membership in the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company (Oliver Ayer Roberts, Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, 1 [1895], 234,256).

“Although he may be the Benjamin Jones stated by Lincoln in History of Hingham to have removed to Exeter, N.H., with members of the Gilman, Foulsham and Leavitt families, by 1679 he had followed his stepsister Jane Collier, wife of Thomas, and his brother Robert Jones to Hull. Thomas Collier of Hull, husbandman, and wife Jane on 4 February 1679 sold to Benjamin Jones of Hull, mariner, for £5, all that piece of land in Hull and that lot called Gallop's Lot, containing 20 rods more or less, bounded southerly by the highway, northerly by Benjamin Bosworth’s land, easterly by Thomas Collier’s land, and westerly by rocks and stakes. Thomas signed and Jane wrote her initials JC, witnessed by Nathaniel Bosworth and Samuel Prince (Suffolk Deeds, 14:71-72). This deed was acknowledged 25 Oct. 1686, along with another dated 10 December 1684, whereby Benjamin Jones of New Bristol in the Colony of Plymouth, husbandman, and Bathsheba his wife, sold to Luke Squire of Hull the dwelling house and land Iying in Hull, it being eight rods long and four rods, six feet wide, bounded with Thomas Collier's land on the east, the Town Commons on the south, and Robert Goold's land on the west and north (ibid., 14:56-57). Benjamin and Bathshua Joans both signed, witnessed by Job Chamberlin, Robert Milton, Robert Goold, and David Cary. For additional information on this family, see Bosworth Genealogy, 2:174-178 and also TAG, 62[1987]:55-56.
