See 80 Administrators Bond where Mary Lloyd the “relict” of Richard Jones, and Edward Jones the Adminstrators in 1728 gives certain assurances in the absence of a Will (of Richard Jones who died in 1722), shortly before her death. In the Llanfair Parish Register she is described as "Widow of Pentre Cae Heilyn” on her burial which is a very strong indicator that her deceased husband Richard was also of Pentre Cae Heilyn. It may even be that she inherited Pentre Cae Heliyn or it was part of a marriage settlement. Could have been the daughter of Edward Lloyd of Llanfair who was assessed for 2 Hearths in the 1666 Hearth Tax return for Derwen Township and/or related to the Lloyds of Berth, a local gentry/freeholder family. (see page 126 Vol 4 of JYW’s Lloyd’s The History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher, and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, and the Ancient Lords of Arwystli, Cedewen, and Meirionydd)16

She also appears to have signed the Oath of Attestation (of loyalty to George 1) in 1723 as ”Mary Jones Widow” which could indicate her ownership of the Pentre Cae Heilyn Property in her own right. 87
