She was accused of being a witch tried and hung in 1648. Her husband desired soon after to ship for Barbadoes, but was imprisoned." There seems to have been one William Jones in this vicinity at the time, but there is very little on record about him. The only child given in the records is Thomas born 1645. I have been trying to find the parents of William Johnes.
