*December 7, 1775 Jones received his commission as first
lieutenant. With his skill and daring he was appointed to the
rank of acting Captain and received a regular commission on August 8,
1776. When reassigned from the Alfred to the Providence, his
commission was reissued now dated October 10, 1776 placing him down the
seniority list. Jones and his supporters bitterly complained to no
avail.
