The year 1692 was significant for a number of folks in our story. For Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) his job as governor of the Bahamas came to an end, and another 10 years or so was yet to be lived. Likewise, as the last several posts have shown, Thomas Bulkely (BUL-1) begins his personal task to bring our Cadwallader (JO-1) to justice in the legal system of the day. Of course Bulkely's activity brings another group of individuals into our story, which leaves a number of separate tracks to be sorted through. To help organize and move through these pages of history it would be helpful to think along three pathways.
First is the remaining years of the life of Cadwallader Jones (JO-1). No clear date of death has yet to be discovered, but it is roughly another decade. During this time, a number of ideas are produced in his head which fills the final years full of activities.
Second is the pathway taken by Thomas Bulkely (BUL-1) to bring Cadwallader to justice for the many wrongs he felt occurred during his time as Governor of the Bahamas. This becomes a very personal activity and includes more than a decade of Bulkely's life.
Third is the legal system's dealing with Thomas Bulkely (BUL-1) and the decisions made along the way. A transformation of government was taking place [The Glorious Revolution] and the ideals of freedom and individual rights were being churned about.
Depending on which pathway one follows, the story of our Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) may seem distinctly different among the branches. It is here that many genealogist find it very difficult, and many writers have taken only part of each pathway. Three pathways from the year 1692 are yet to be presented.
