After the war, he served for a short time with the Imperial Russian Navy under the name Pavel Dzhones, before his death in Paris, at the age of 45. The second Mr. Jones (b. 1946) was actually born John Baldwin, before assuming his stage name as a sessions musician in the 1960s.

Not much is known about the first Hathaway (1556-1623) beyond her marriage to William Shakespeare except for the differences in their ages at the time of the nuptuals (she was 26, he was 18) and that she was three months pregnant with their first child, Susanna.

Answer: Roger Williams

The first Williams (1603-1683) arrived in America from England in 1631 and, within three years, had been exiled from the Salem, MA community for his beliefs (the exile act was eventually repealed in 1936). By 1647, the colony of Rhode Island was established. Williams was among the first proponents of separation of church and state and the abolition of slavery. The second Williams (born in 1924) was named Louis Weertz until he won a piano competition on the radio show 'Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts'. Record producer David Kapp renamed him in honor of the first Williams. Since that time, Williams II has released well over 100 albums of pop standards set to piano.
