Following Edward Shirley's death, she married Jones. I have seen online data which attributes Jane (Reade) Shirley as marrying a Thomas Jones that is definitely a different Jones than the man she married. THE ALSTON AND WYATT ANCESTRY OF ANNY (STRICKLAND) PRESLEY WITH AN ACCOUNT OF SOME OF HER DESCENDANTS (privately published, 1941/9) , by William T. Inman gives an interesting account of Jane Reade and some of her descendants. C. Ward CMW12635@aol.com
