Famous lyrics by »
Samuel Jefferson Jones (April 16, 1827 – December 10, 1883) was a pro-slavery settler who held the position of Douglas County sheriff in Kansas Territory from late 1855 until early 1857. He helped found the territorial capital of Lecompton and played a prominent role in the "Bleeding Kansas" conflict. In 1858, he moved to La Mesilla, New Mexico Territory. In September of that year, he was appointed the collector of customs at El Paso del Norte (now Ciudad Juárez, Mexico). In New Mexico, he was involved with the Mowry City land scam. When that settlement's prospects collapsed, he bought a ranch near La Mesilla and died there in 1883. His tombstone was returned to Lecompton in 2013.
