  • Notes: 

  • Mary is said in published sources to be the daughter of Gilbert and Mary Jones of Welshpool. Mary Littleton, daughter of Sir Edward Littleton and Mary Walter married a man named Gilbert Jones. Most online genealogies claim that Gilbert and Mary Jones of Welshpool are Gilbert Jones and Mary Littleton. Although the circumstantial evidence from published sources appears to corroborate this claim, more evidence is needed to positively identify that the two Gilbert and Mary Jones are the same couple.
