Samuel Jones, of Tewksbury, who was also the tutor of Chandler, Butler, Seeker, and many other distinguished divines, he became minister of a congregation at Forest Green, in Glouoetershire, where he also kept an academy. He died in 1734. His works are as follows: A Vindication of the former Part of the Gospel by Matthew from Mr. Whiston's Charge of Dislocation, etc. (London, 1719, 8vo; Salop, 1721, 8vo, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1803): also, A new and full Method of settling the Canonical Authority of the New Testament (London, 1726, 2 vols. 8vo; vol. 3, 1727, 8vo; Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1798, 3 vols. 8vo, and since). See Chalmers, Biog. Dict. (London); Gentleman's Magazine, vol. 23; Monthly Magazine, April 1803; Allibone, Dict. of English and American Authors, 2, 988.
