Thomas Quinn Jones (born August 19, 1978 in Big Stone Gap, Virginia) is an American football running back for the New York Jets. He is an alumnus of the University of Virginia, where he set numerous rushing records. The Arizona Cardinals drafted Jones as the seventh pick of the 2000 NFL Draft. After three years in Arizona, Jones spent a year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before signing a multi-year contract with the Chicago Bears as a free agent in 2004. After two consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons, Jones was traded to the New York Jets after the 2006 season.

Thomas (Tom) Jones, CH (27 September 1870 - 15 October 1955) was a British civil servant and educationalist, once described as "one of the six most important men in Europe", and also as "the King of Wales" and "man of a thousand secrets".

Born at 100 High Street, Rhymney, Jones was familiarly known as "T.J." He was Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet under four Prime Ministers: Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar Law, Stanley Baldwin and Ramsay MacDonald. His 3-volume Whitehall Diary threw much light on politics "behind the scenes", including the Irish Treaty, the 1926 General Strike, the meetings between Lloyd George and Adolf Hitler, the Cliveden Set, and so on.

A friend of many rich and influential people including the Astors, Jones excelled at extracting money from rich people for worthwhile causes, notably adult education; he founded Coleg Harlech in 1927, was instrumental in the founding of Newbattle Abbey College, and was secretary, trustee and chairman of the Pilgrim Trust).

He was Chairman of Gregynog Press throughout its existence, and also helped set up CEMA, the Committee for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (forerunner of the Arts Council) as well as the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (designed to 'supply mental stimulant' to British troops during the Second World War).

Towards the end of his life Jones became President of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, as well as finally agreeing to become a Companion of Honour. He died in London.

Jones' daughter, Eirene White, was a Labour politician and minister.

Judge Thomas Jones was a member of the Provincial Supreme Court of New York. He lived in Bayside, Queens County, Long Island. Opinion in the colony was sharply divided in 1775 when Massachusetts rebelled against British rule, and Judge Jones came down squarely on the side of loyalty to Crown authority. For his disaffection for the rebellion he was kidnapped and exchanged for a friend of opposing opinions.

After the defeat of Cornwallis in Virginia, Judge Jones joined the evacuation to England where he married, and wrote a History Of New York During The Revolutionary War And Of The Leading Events In The Other Colonies At That Period. (ISBN10: 1432529358 ISBN13: 9781432529352)

The book supplied details about the battle for Brookland as he called it or Battle of Long Island and complained against the generosity of the Treaty of Paris (1783) and consequent mistreatment of Loyalists. Judge Jones singled out for particular attention the evacuation of the village of Hempstead, the recovery of escaped slaves by their Rebel owners, and the abandonment of Britain's Iroquois allies in northern New York. The manuscript lay almost a hundred years on a closet shelf until it was discovered and published.

Thomas Jones (June 23, 1756 - July 18, 1807) was Head Tutor at Trinity College, Cambridge for twenty years and an outstanding teacher of mathematics. He is notable as a mentor of Adam Sedgwick.

On graduating from Shrewsbury School, Jones was admitted to St John's College, Cambridge on May 28, 1774, as a 'pensioner' (ie. a fee paying student, as opposed to a scholar or sizar). He was believed to be an illegitimate son of Mr Owen Owen, of Tyncoed, and his housekeeper, who afterwards married a Mr Jones, of Traffin, County Kerry, Thomas being brought up as his son.

On June 27, 1776, Jones migrated from St John's College to Trinity College. He became a scholar in 1777 and obtained his BA in 1779, winning the First Smith's Prize and becoming Senior Wrangler. In 1782, he obtained his MA and became a Fellow of Trinity College in 1781. He became a Junior Dean, 1787-1789 and a Tutor, 1787-1807. He was ordained a deacon at the Peterborough parish June 18, 1780. Then he was ordained priest, at the Ely parish, June 6, 1784, canon of Fen Ditton, Cambridgeshire, in 1784, and then cannon of Swaffham Prior, 1784. On December 11, 1791, he preached before the University, at Great St Mary's, a sermon against duelling (from Exodus XX. 13), which was prompted by a duel that had lately taken place near Newmarket, between Henry Applewhaite and Richard Ryecroft, undergraduates of Pembroke, in which the latter was fatally wounded. He died July 18, 1807, in lodgings in Edgware Road, London. He is buried in the cemetery of Dulwich College. A bust and a memorial tablet are in the ante-chapel of Trinity College.

His academic mentor was John Cranke (1746-1816).

Thomas Daniel Jones (1884 - February 8, 1958) was a Welsh footballer and football club manager. He represented Wales at international level.

Jones was born in Aberaman where his father was a grocer and also the Constable of Higher Miskin, an ancient office and ceremonial post. He played for his local side before joining Aberdare Athletic in 1903.

In 1904, Jones joined Nottingham Forest, remaining an amateuer as he did throughout his career. He played just twice for the Forest first team, returning to Aberdare Athletic in 1905. In 1908 he made his only appearance for the Wales national team, a 1-0 defeat against Ireland played at Aberdare. He later became club secretary at Aberdare.

In the summer of 1923, Jones took over as secretary-manager of Merthyr Town, guiding them to a respectable 13th place in Division Three (South). He left his post in 1924 and later worked as a scout for Cardiff City. He was also a vice-president of the FA of Wales.

Outside of football, he qualified as a solicitor in 1913 and subsequently practised in this role in Aberdare.

Jones died in Porthcawl on February 8, 1958.

Thomas Jones (1810 - September 16 1849) was a Welsh missionary, best remembered for his work in recording the Khasi language in Roman script.

Jones, a carpenter's son from Montgomeryshire, became a Calvinistic Methodist minister in 1840, and shortly afterwards set out for India with his wife Anne. After their arrival in Calcutta, Anne gave birth to a child, which did not survive. The couple went on into the Khasia Hills, with the aim of converting the native people to Christianity. Jones's skills in carpentry and other crafts were valued by the Khasi community, and he learned their language by living among them. He opened a missionary school, and began preaching to the local people in their own language. In 1842 he produced a Khasi Reader, and translated a Welsh-language work, Rhodd Mam, into Khasi; these were the first books written in the Khasi language. He also compiled an alphabet and dictionary. In 1846 Anne Jones died in childbirth, and Thomas Jones married a 15-year-old girl, Emma Catell, an act which got him into trouble with the Missionary Society. A failed attempt to set up his own mission at Pomreng led to further difficulties with the authorities, who abandoned him in 1847. As a result of his criticisms of a local industrialist, Harry Inglis, he was forced to leave the area, and contracted malaria, of which he died. He is buried in the Scottish Cemetery at Calcutta.

Thomas Jones (26 September 1742 – 29 April 1803) was a Welsh landscape painter. He was a pupil of Richard Wilson and was best-known in his lifetime as a painter of Welsh and Italian landscapes in the style of his master. However, Jones's reputation grew in the 20th century when more unconventional works by him, ones not been intended for public consumption, came to light. Most notable among these is a series of views of Naples which he painted from 1782 to 1783. By breaking with the conventions of classical landscape painting in favour of direct observation, they look forward to the work of Camille Corot and the Barbizon School in the 19th century.

Thomas Jones (c. 1550-April 10, 1619) was Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He was also Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral and Bishop of Meath and the patrilineal ancestor of the Viscounts Ranelagh.

Jones was a native of Lancashire and the son of Henry Jones, Esq. of Middleton. His brother, Sir Roger Jones, Alderman of London, was knighted at Whitehall. Thomas acquired a Master of Arts from Christ's College, Cambridge, after which he relocated to Ireland. He married a widow, Margaret Purdon, who was also a sister-in-law of Archbishop Adam Loftus. The relationship to Loftus proved beneficial to Jones. (blank">HTML version). He was named Chancellor of St. Patrick's Cathedral and was elected Dean in 1581. While dean, Jones granted questionable leases of church property including a particular 161-year lease which caused later St. Patrick's Dean, _Jonathan Swift, to scold Jones:

When Archbishop of Armagh Thomas Lancaster died in 1584, Lord Chancellor of Ireland (and former Archbishop of Armagh) Loftus recommended Jones as a replacement despite his unorthodox leases. John Long was chosen for the position instead but, on May 10, 1584, at the written urging of Queen Elizabeth, Jones was named Bishop of Meath. Dictionary of National Biography edited by Sidney Lee, Volume XXX (blank">link), pp. 163-164. He was immediately called to the privy council of Ireland by the government of lord deputy _John Perrot, a position he held for 20 years. In April 1605, Adam Loftus died and King James I emphatically chose Jones to be Archbishop of Dublin, commencing the following November. He was also named prebendary of both Castleknock parish of St. Patrick's and the rectory of Trim in the Diocese of Meath:

In 1605, Jones was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland, a position he held for the duration of his life. He was staunchly anti-Catholic during the era of King James's Plantation of Ulster. In 1611, he was part of a Protestant Council in Dublin "to prevent sectarianism and extirpate Popery." He attended the opening of the Parliament of Ireland in 1612, giving an important speech. During this period, he had eight Roman Catholics excommunicated and imprisoned for recusancy and then had them reimprisoned after Parliament released them soon afterwards. Jones was a lord justice in 1613, received an honorary D.D. degree from the University of Dublin in 1614, and again served as lord justice in 1615. He and his son, Roger Jones, 1st Viscount Ranelagh, took part in several disputes with Lord Howth. During his time as Lord Chancellor, Jones saw that the cathedral of Christ Church underwent extensive repairs. He grew ill very suddenly and died at his St. Sepulchre's palace in Dublin in 1619. He was buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral beside his wife who had died four months earlier. Viscount Ranelagh, his only surviving son, had a monument and statue created with inscriptions for Thomas and his wife :

The monument was restored in 1731 at the request of St. Patrick's dean, Jonathan Swift.
