#ChennaiStreetHistory 64 -George Town has Jones Street and Lane. William Jones was an East India Company servant in the 18th century. He resigned and began private trade and made enormous money. In 1789 he became Sheriff of Madras. While he was with the EIC he was mint master and also postmaster general. With Thomas Parry of Parry & Co he also ran a newspaper. It is very likely this street is named after him.
