By the end of the 1830`s he had built facing the road a row of nine houses, later refered to as Ballas Row. Also on the corner of the row a detached building which became the Farmers Arms, with its adjacent malthouse. So the two brothers George and John Jones had malthouses only two miles apart."

| Shared note | Note from Allen Blethyn: "John Jones was more commonly known as Sion y Ballas, owing to family coming from Ballas Farm.

Also on the corner of the row a detached building which became the Farmers Arms, with its adjacent malthouse. So the two brothers George and John Jones had malthouses only two miles apart." The 1871 Census shows John as Victualler, presumably still unning the Farmer's Arms, and next door in the malt house is his nephew David Jones (son of George) as Maltster, and his family. John is not mentioned in his father's Will, written in 1848, although all the other surviving siblings are included in the Will. We can only speculate as to the reasons, but John's marriage to a woman 20 years his senior (possibly a source of part of his "money to spare" referred to above?), the fact that he was already well established in business and owned a number of rental properties by the time the Will was written, also his choice of Innkeeper as occupation, may provide some clues. |
