Fred W. Jones Jr. (October 24, 1924 – October 22, 2000) was a judge of three levels of court in his native U.S. state of Louisiana, based in Ruston in Lincoln Parish.
A native of Rayville in Richland Parish in North Louisiana,
Jones graduated from the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1949. Jones served in the United States Army during World War II and was an assistant staff judge advocate in the Korean War.
Jones was married to the former Anelle Swetman (1927–2009), a daughter of Emory G. Swetman (1901–1963) and the late Ruby F. Stringer Swetman. Jones was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis International. He was a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Ruston and a trustee of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In their later years, they were members of a non-Southern Baptist congregation, the Northminster Church in Monroe, Louisiana. The Joneses had three daughters, Sherryl J. Tucker and husband, Robert, of Baton Rouge, Denise J. Wiltcher and husband, Thomas, of Amarillo, Texas, and Michelle J. Barker and husband, Mark, of Knoxville, Tennessee.
