Born in Ohio and raised in West Virginia, Jones became the youngest-ever member of the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1964. Two years later, he was chosen as the Republican floor leader in the House. In 1968, he decided to leave politics and focus on his real estate business. He married Elizabeth "Libby" Lloyd in 1970 and in 1972, the family moved to historic Airdrie Farm, Libby's family estate in Woodford County, Kentucky. There, Jones founded Airdrie Stud, now an internationally-recognized thoroughbred farm. Though he remained mostly out of politics, Jones changed his party affiliation to Democratic in 1975 and was appointed to various boards and commissions by governors John Y. Brown, Jr. and Martha Layne Collins.
