After Jones was widowed in April 1736, she announced that she would continue her husband's business to support her large family.
She also published Life of Prince Eugene of Saxony (1737), Amusements de Spa by Karl Ludwig von Pöllnitz (1737), Complete English tradesmen by Daniel Defoe (1738), and a Letter to a lady, in praise of female learning by Wetenhall Wilkes (1739).
Jones started work on the History of the bishops of Ireland by Sir James Ware in 1739, but died in May of that year before she could complete it.
They continued to operate from Clarendon Street for a further two years, printing the full set of Ware's works along with History of the civil wars of France by Enrico Caterino Davila (1740).
Elizabeth Jones married an engraver, Thomas Dixon, in 1756, by which time she had ceased working as a printer or bookseller.
