=== Relationships and fatherhood === Jones's first child was born in 1958 to a female friend. The baby, of unknown sex, was given up for [[adoption]] and, in contrast to Jones's other children, has either not learned of the relationship to Jones, or has not publicly identified themself as Jones's child.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Sympathy for the Devil: The Birth of the Rolling Stones and the Death of Brian Jones |last=Trynka |first=Paul |publisher=9781448154050 |year=2014 |pages=38 |isbn=978-1-4481-5405-0 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nkPLAwAAQBAJ |author-link=Paul Trynka}}</ref> In the summer of 1959, Jones's girlfriend – a Cheltenham schoolgirl named Valerie Corbett – became pregnant. Although Jones purportedly encouraged her to have an abortion, she carried the child to term, giving birth on 29 May 1960 and naming him Barry David.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Sympathy for the Devil: The Birth of the Rolling Stones and the Death of Brian Jones |last=Trynka |first=Paul |publisher=9781448154050 |year=2014 |pages=47 |isbn=978-1-4481-5405-0 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nkPLAwAAQBAJ |author-link=Paul Trynka}}</ref> She soon placed the baby for adoption.{{sfn|Wyman|Havers|2002|p=19}} The adoptive parents renamed the boy Simon.<ref name="Trynka 2014 358">{{Cite book |title=Sympathy for the Devil: The Birth of the Rolling Stones and the Death of Brian Jones |last=Trynka |first=Paul |publisher=9781448154050 |year=2014 |pages=358 |isbn=978-1-4481-5405-0 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nkPLAwAAQBAJ |author-link=Paul Trynka}}</ref> During this period, Jones lived a [[Bohemianism|bohemian]] lifestyle abroad, [[Street performance|busking]] with his guitar on the streets for money and living off the charity of others. Eventually, he ran short of money and returned to England.{{sfn|Wyman|Havers|2002|p=28}} In November 1959, Jones went to the Wooden Bridge Hotel in [[Guildford]] to see a band perform. He met a young married woman named Angeline, and the two had a [[one-night stand]] that resulted in her pregnancy. Angeline and her husband decided to raise the baby, Belinda,<ref>{{Cite book |title=Sympathy for the Devil: The Birth of the Rolling Stones and the Death of Brian Jones |last=Trynka |first=Paul |publisher=9781448154050 |year=2014 |pages=72 |isbn=978-1-4481-5405-0 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nkPLAwAAQBAJ |author-link=Paul Trynka}}</ref> born on 4 August 1960. Jones never knew about the pregnancy or her birth.{{sfn|Wyman|Havers|2002|p=28}}{{Efn|Wyman uses the pseudonym "Carol" for Belinda in his book ''Stone Alone''.{{sfn|Wyman|Coleman|1997|p=174}}}} In 1961, Jones applied for a scholarship to [[Cheltenham Art College]]. He was initially accepted, but the offer was withdrawn two days later after an unidentified acquaintance wrote to the college, calling Jones "an irresponsible [[vagrant|drifter]]". Later that year, on 22 October, Jones's girlfriend Pat Andrews gave birth to his fourth known child, Julian Mark Andrews (known as Mark).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?r=224282526:6792&d=bmd_1689976433 |title=FreeBMD Entry Info }}</ref> Jones moved in with them and sold his record collection to buy flowers for Andrews and clothes for the newborn.<ref>{{cite web |title=Just Who Was Brian Jones? |url=https://www.brianjonesfanclub.com/index.php/articles/just-who-was-brian-jones |publisher=Brian Jones Fan Club |access-date=29 August 2020 |archive-date=26 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226061239/https://www.brianjonesfanclub.com/index.php/articles/just-who-was-brian-jones |url-status=live }}</ref> In a television interview Andrews stated that in the early days of their relationship, although she and Jones were both working, his interest in the guitar meant he did not have much money to buy food or anything beyond paying the rent.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pat Andrews With Her Son Mark (Brian Jones was the father) (circa 1964) - YouTube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8OANZg8_iE&t=2s |access-date=9 February 2021 |website=youtube.com |date=19 February 2012 }}</ref> According to Andrews, Jones was initially proud of Mark, but when the Rolling Stones acquired a manager, Jones was instructed not to be seen with either mother or child. Jones agreed she said, telling her she would have to "put up with it for a few months" until the band had had some success. However, once the Stones did become successful, she noted Jones "just seemed to drift away", becoming more interested in famous people he met, and that she "never received a penny from Brian at all".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pat Andrews With Her Son Mark (Brian Jones was the father) (circa 1964) - YouTube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8OANZg8_iE&t=2s |access-date=9 February 2021 |website=www.youtube.com |date=19 February 2012 }}</ref> In the same interview, Andrews also noted she felt sorry for Jones as "he just uses people".<ref>[[BBC Arena]]: S49, E3; The Stones and Brian Jones, 2023</ref> In early 1963, Jones began a relationship with [[Linda Lawrence]]. On 23 July 1964, Lawrence gave birth to Jones's fifth child, Julian Brian Lawrence.{{sfn|Jackson|1992|p=93}} Lawrence later married Scottish folk/pop singer [[Donovan]]. They raised Julian together, changing his name to Julian Leitch. In early October 1964, Jones's occasional girlfriend, Dawn Molloy, announced to Jones and the Rolling Stones' management that she was pregnant by him. She received a cheque for £700 ({{Inflation|UK|700|1964|2023|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}){{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} from group manager [[Andrew Loog Oldham]]. In return, she signed an agreement that the matter was now closed and that she would make no statement about Jones or the child to the public or the press. The undated statement was signed by Molloy and witnessed by [[Mick Jagger]].{{sfn|Wyman|Coleman|1997|p=261}} Molloy eventually gave the boy, whom she named Paul Andrew, up for adoption, and his new parents renamed him John Maynard.<ref name="Trynka 2014 358"/> In 1965, Jones met German singer [[Nico]] and began a three-month relationship with her. Jones introduced Nico to [[Andy Warhol]] and recommended she show him her music; through this she later received her role in [[The Velvet Underground]]. She became pregnant during the affair but decided to have an abortion in London that same year. The two remained friends.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Nico: Life And Lies Of An Icon |last=Witts |first=Richard |author-link=Richard Witts|publisher=Ebury Publishing |year=1993 |isbn=9780863696558 |pages=122 |quote=She had just undergone an abortion in London, having discovered she was pregnant by Brian Jones.}}</ref> A year later, while on tour, Jones met Italian-German model and actress [[Anita Pallenberg]] backstage and began a significant relationship with her. Jones became extremely [[domestic abuse|abusive]], at one point breaking his hand on Pallenberg's face.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Sheffield |first=Rob |url= https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/why-anita-pallenberg-rolling-stones-muse-was-queen-of-the-underground-204744/ |title=Why Anita Pallenberg, Rolling Stones Muse, Was Queen of the Underground |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=14 June 2017}}</ref> In 1967, Pallenberg left Jones for his bandmate Keith Richards, which added to tensions between the bandmates. Jones had subsequent relationships with English model [[Suki Potier]] and Swedish seamstress Anna Wohlin, as well as a short relationship in 1968 with American model [[Donyale Luna]], who appeared with him in the concert film ''[[The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus]]'' several months before his death. Wohlin was living with Jones in 1969 when he died and has written two books about her time with him.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wohlin |first=Anna |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42640160|title=The murder of Brian Jones : the secret story of my love affair with the murdered Rolling Stone |date=1999 |publisher=Blake |others=Lindsjoo, Christine |isbn=978-1-85782-316-5 |location=London |oclc=42640160}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Wohlin |first=Anna |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/65201079 |title=The wild and wicked world of Brian Jones: the amazing true story of my love affair with the murdered Rolling Stone |date=2005 |publisher=Blake |isbn=978-1-85782-567-1 |location=London |oclc=65201079}}</ref> Wohlin has stated that during his last year Jones had expressed immense guilt over not being there for his children. He wished to start over and become a "real father" and raise future children in the house he had bought. He also wished for his sons, who had not been adopted away by their mothers, Mark and Julian, to come and live in the house.<ref>{{Cite AV media |title=Brian Jones dog i hennes armar |url=https://sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/1533281 |date=29 August 2020 |last=Malmstedt |first=Lotta |type=radio documentary |language=Swedish |publisher=[[Sveriges Radio]] |trans-title=Brian Jones died in her arms |others=Anna Wohlin |orig-date=2008 |place=Sweden |work=P4 Dokumentär |volume= |series=[[Sveriges Radio P4|P4]] |time=09:03-10:01 |access-date=23 February 2024}}</ref> Jones's youngest known child is a daughter named Barbara Anna Marion, born in 1969 to Elizabeth, a married American woman who raised the girl with her husband.
