    LOL… one of those blindingly obvious questions nobody ever thinks to ask.

    Wikipedia says:

    “The river is believed to have been named either for Robert Jones, an early European property owner in the region, or for “St. Jone”, the Welsh spelling of St. John.”

    Obviously this river was named during the brief Welsh conquest and occupation of Dover, which went largely unnoticed.

    Thanks puck–which reminds me another landmark I see and have meant to inquire “Odd Fellows”–cemetery, hall, etc…

    @ Joanne The Independent Order of Odd Fellows are a fraternal Organization similiar to some of the other old style secret societies such as the Masons among others. Back in the day they operated cemeteries and one of the benefits of membership was a free burial plot.
