He died as he had lived in the confidence of his God. His reason to the last was unimpaired and with composure he saw the hand of Death doing its office and joyfully resigned his spirit into the hands of his Redeemer. Rev.

In Greene [Chenango Co., NY], on Monday, the 3d inst., Mr. Asa Jones, aged 93 years. the previous day, while sitting at the table, in usual health, he experienced a paralytic attack, which terminated fatally in about ten hours. Mr. Jones was one of that band of patriots who practically pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in the cause of our Independence. Perhaps few individuals who survived that arduous contest, which resulted so auspiciously, have given greater evidence of their devotion to the cause of patriotism. Although he did not belong to the regular Continental establishment but for a short time, yet he held himself in readiness and promptly obeyed the calls of his country, as a volunteer, in different expeditions and at various times during the term of five years. The residence of his family (in the county of Westchester) was such as to expose them in a peculiar manner to the depredations of the enemy; and it was not unusual for him to return home, after a tour of duty, and find his family dispersed, his crops destroyed, and his cattle driven off. He was in several engagements during the war, in one of which he was second in command of a select party of 23 men, who were attacked by 65 British dragoons; and after a sharp engagement the enemy retreated, leaving three men and seventeen horses dead on the field. For this act of bravery, the two commanding officers were honored by the receipt of a letter from Gen. Washington approbating their conduct and promising them that their services should be rewarded by promotion when an opportunity should occur. Mr. J. was just about to realize the benefits of the late act of Congress, having received a certificate for a pension; but the gratitude of his country, in this instance, has been too tardy to afford the means of lightening the burden of age. [Dec. 19, 1832]
