List of Soldiers assigned under George Washington

Surnames: Jones
My Great(4) grandfather was born in and around 1765 in Claiborne, Mississippi. At that time it was still under Spanish rule. His father named him George Washington Jones. I'm thinking that was a rather unusual name combination even back then. So, that led me to think that maybe he was named for someone his father admired, maybe even a commander or even a buddy or something like that.
I don't have GW Jone's father's name or where he is from. GW's wife was named Eve and she was born in Virginia. Maybe there are family ties to Colonial Virginia
