Another of Potton's roads named for an older family of the region.  Richard A. Jones (1895-1983) and his wife, Bertha Sims (1898-1975), are interred in the Protestant Cemetery of Mansonville.  It was on the farmland belonging to Richard Jones that Potton's famous 'Indian rock' and mill site were found.  Chemin Richard-Jones is actually located somewhat further north, and branches off Carlton-Oliver Road.  It has no outlet and leads to private properties on the lakeshore.  Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jones had one son, Harry, now deceased.
