Keith Jones, who moved from Ridgefield to Arizona in 2006, is a founding president of the Ridgefield Historical Society and a direct descendent of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, the longest-service Chief Justice, from 1801 to 1835, in the Court’s history. Jones is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. His passion for the Revolution led to his first book on the War for Independence, //Farmers Against the Crown//, of which Connecticut State Historian Christopher Collier said, “I suspect that this telling will remain the standard account of [the Battle of Ridgefield] for a long, long time.” Jones is also a member of the Company of Military Historians and the John Marshall Foundation.
