| Summary: | jone v Jone - meaning to put a spell on you. Quite common in Marystown, in past years, I remember hearing it used, but only rarely. My mother recalls when she was in her teens, a woman coming to Marystown by name of Anastasia Picco, who was a widow; she apparently started going around to houses begging for food, clothing, etc. She would tell the householders if they didn't give her what she wanted she would jone them, meaning she would put a spell or curse on them. So, naturally she got whatever she wanted. JH 6/75 DNE-cit Used I Used I Used I JINK 1 Checked by Adrian Young on Tue 16 Jun 2015; Checked by Cathy Wiseman on Sun 16 Aug 2015
