They came to America on a ship named the Ellen Maria when he was 13 years old. He married Josephine Gilbert (Glibart). His family had been friends with her family back in Wales and while the two Welsh Mormon families sailed on different ships out of Liverpool, they both used the same home address, and both families traveled overland from New Orleans to Salt Lake City in the Abraham O. Smoot Oxcart Company. Their group was the first group of Mormons that had traveled from Liverpool to Salt Lake City that was financed by the Perpetual Immigration Fund of the Mormon Church. When they arrived in Salt Lake City they were greeted with was a big celebration with a brass band and Church President Brigham Young gave a speech.

The Mormon Church encouraged it's members in Utah to become polygamists and in 1867 John Lewis Jones decided to take a second wife. Josephine would not agree to live in polygamy and she divorced him. She and her two year old son, Johnny, went to Corinne, Utah, where her parents lived. In about 1875, when Johnny was ten years old, his father surreptitiously took him to live with him in Lakeside. John Lewis married Mary Price in 1867. They lived in a stone house in Harper Ward and Mary bore him thirteen children, five boys and eight girls.

When Mary was pregnant with her eighth child (1882) she had become somewhat incapacitated with rheumatism and arthritis. John asked his friend, William Evans if one of his daughters could come and work for him. William's oldest daughter, Margret Ann, then sixteen years old, became the hired girl. She was hired to do the housework, the cooking and to help Mary with the seven children and one on the way. Margret worked for a year as the hired girl. When she was seventeen, John Jones asked for her hand in marriage. John Lewis Jones died on 28 Dec 1912 in Malad, Oneida, Idaho at the age 74, and was buried on January 2, 1913 in St John Cemetery, Malad, Oneida, Idaho.
