For Watch Tower history we know him as Albert
Delmont Jones. However, the names “Albert” “Delmont” and “Jones” are used for a
number of people in various partial permutations, including his grandfather,
his father, his brother, and also one of his sons who died young. So it is easy
for researchers to follow the wrong trail. To further confuse matters, as the
previous article indicated, our Albert was to reinvent himself by dropping the
common name “Jones,” and adding the name “Royal” to become Albert Royal
Delmont.
The starting point for research has to be in the
genealogy. We are greatly indebted to the late Ton de Geus who researched a six
generation tree for the Delmont Jones family. The earliest rgenerations are
reproduced below. I have not personally checked this information, but from long
experience corresponding with Ton have no reason to doubt any of it.
