| Will - Brother's* | 5 August 1639 | Mary was named in her brother's will on 5 August 1639 at England. In the Will of Sir Edward Littleton (her brother) which was written 5th August 1639 he refers to his sister Jones. In the Will of William Littleton of The Moore, so Salop (another brother) which was written 28th May 1653 he also refers to his sister Jones. In the Will of John Littleton D.D. (another brother) which was written 13th December 1657 he refers to his sister, Mary Newport. However, this might have been his sister-in-law as his wife was Jane Newport. (Provided by Trevor T. Littleton on June 25, 2002). |
| Anecdote* | 1634 | The Welshpool Register shows that Gilbert Jones had six children with Baptismal dates of 20 May 1634, 9 Aug 1636, 8 Nov 1640, 20 Nov 1641, 3 Mar 1643/4, 28 Dec 1645.

| Death* | before 25 November 1649 | Mary died before 25 November 1649 at Welshpool, Co Montgomery, Wales. The Welshpool Register also lists the burial of "Maria wife of
Gilbert Jones" on 25 Nov 1649. However, there is an unexplained inconsistency. Mary's brother, William Littleton, bequeaths her in his will, written 28 May 1653, an annuity for life. The burial entry is clearly 1649 and we know of no other Mary Jones, wife of Gilbert in Welshpool. (1993 manuscript by Mary Ross Brown in the St. Louis County Library "Mary Scarburgh Was Not A Littleton" provided by Robert Bernheim, 2 Feb 2004).
