In the genealogical table succeeding this introduction, which is copied from Burke's Landed Gentry of England, she is said to have been the daughter of Colonel Roger Jones, Governor of Dublin in the reign of James the Second, who defeated the Marquis of Ormond in 1649; and in the collection of Memorials she is said to have been the daughter of Gilbert Jones, of Welch-Pool. But the Colonel Jones who routed the Marquis of Ormond at Rathmines, near Dublin, in 1649, was the Parliamentary Governor of that city; and his name, according to both Leland and Plowden, was Michael, and nither Gilbert nor Roger.—Leland's History of Ireland, iv. p. 42; Plowden's ibid. i. p. 136.
