Life
Jones was born 2 May 1804 in the parish of Llanychaiarn, near Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire. His father taught him Latin and he also attended school in the village. He then went to Aberystwyth grammar school, where he became first an assistant, and in 1828 head-master. He resigned the post in 1834, when he entered St David's College, Lampeter, and was elected Eldon Hebrew scholar there in 1835.
Ordained deacon in September 1836, Jones was made a priest in September 1837. His first curacy was Llanfihangel Genau'r Glyn, and he then moved to Bangor Chapel, both in the Aberystwyth area. In February 1840 he became curate of Llanedwen and Llanddaniel Fab in Anglesey, where he remained till his death, 2 December 1850. He was buried in Llanidan churchyard.
