ABSTRACT
Revd James Jones is a good example of a Welsh immigrant's impact on American religion during the Second Great Awakening, after his emigration in 1803. He also fought against the land of his birth in the War of 1812. He went to New Orleans during the winters, worked at his trade and preached the deck of flat-boats, on the wharves, levies and in churches. During this time he never lost the itinerant fire, and, in October, 1834, he joined the Indiana Conference, and was appointed to Vevay Circuit for ten years. In 1836-37, he traveled Lawrenceburgh Circuit, with an increase of nearly 700 members; next work was Brookville Circuit, in 1838-39 and next was the Vevay Circuit again; next was Wilmington Circuit, two years; in 1844 was appointed to Rising Sun District, and in 1845/was stationed at Jeffersonville.
