Mary Ann was born 13 Apr 1817 at Maury co. Tennessee. She is the daughter of Richard Jones and Margaret Jenkins.
About 1832-33 the Jones family moved from Tennessee to Smithville, Clay, Missouri. When she was 16, she married Fields B. Jacaway, son of Samuel Jacaway and Temperance Bradshaw.
Fields and Mary Ann were very much in sympathy with the Saints and joined in their expulsion from Missouri. She was baptized in 1840. She recieved her patriarchal blessing in Nauvoo, Illinois on 15 Nov 1841 from the first Patriarch, Hyrum Smith.
In Jan 1844 Fields was called to serve as the Branch President in New Orleans, Louisiana, so they resided there.
The small branch consisted of emigrants detained there by lack of means to continue to St Louis.
Fields went to Clay Co. Missouri and was killed while there. Mary Ann and children stayed in New Orleans. There in 1847 she met and married James Bates who was a ship's carpenter and travelled up and down the Mississippi . James went to St Louis where he hoped to obtain money for them to travel to Utah. He contracted cholera on the boat and died in Feb 1849.
On 6 Dec 1850, she married a third time to Thomas Davies, a recent convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints.
In 1852 in May they started out on their journey across the plains to Utah in the William Hurst Company. They arrived in Salt Lake City in September, and hurried on to Fillmore where her married daughter Susannah Jacaway Black lived.
In the year 1890, a great plauge of black diptheria swept the country. Her husband Thomas, daughter, Letitia Maria and three grandchildren died. She was a widow again at age 73. In May 1896 she had a paralytic stroke. She sold her property in Fillmore and moved to Hinckley, Utah to be near her son, Thomas Davies Jr. In 1900 Thomas and his family moved to Canada and she went with them.
