How did Richard immigrate at 13? Was he indentured? He also could not have been a Rev at that age I think the date of arrival needs to be removed. At the very earliest, he may have been ordained in 1656 upon his majority

Jones-38516 and Jones-11505 appear to represent the same person because: birth year the same - several choices for death, but no clear evidence these are different people.

I think Richard, husband of Martha Llewellyn, may have died before her father wrote his will in 1663/4. (See https://alliedfamilies.wordpress.com/early-virginia-jones-families/ for an abstract of Daniel's will.)

edited - deleted a confusing mis-statement & changed link for Daniel's will
