| James Athearn Jones We find in the American National Biography bio that Jones "read for and practiced law in New York City (by 1822), and also found time to teach school and do some journalistic work (to 1827). A piece indicative of his legal erudition is 'A Digest of All the Criminal Cases, Which Have Been Decided in the Supreme Circuit, and District Courts of the United States, and in the Supreme Courts of the Several States, with a Few Decisions of the Court of Sessions for New York City.' This work was appended to A Digested Index of the Crown Law . . . by Harold Nuttall Tomplines (1823)." For a biographical sketch of James Athearn Jones, see Rich. L.
