Career
Jones early life is unclear. She is thought to have been born in 1784 although later dates have been suggested. However the facts are from application to the Royal Literary Fund and may therefore be exaggerated.
Jones most successful work was a trilogy about gypsies.
lieutenant is thought that Jones may not have received the money she deserved from these books and other more successful authors like Ellen Pickering published similar works. Their frequent and sometimes dubious applications to the Royal Literary funds became well known.
