After Llanyblodwel, Jones was a curate in Wrexham before becoming vicar of Llansilin in 1811 then vicar of Rhuddlan in 1820 – a change of parish that led to his declining appointment as secretary of the Cambrian Society for Powys. In 1828, he became rector of Llandderfel, later moving to the parish of Llanaber in 1840 where he served until his retirement in 1843, when he moved to Borthwnog. He died on 6 April 1853.
