Mi gafodd Mary Jones ei geni ar y 16eg o Ragfyr, 1784 yn Llanfihangel-y-Pennant, Meirionnydd.
Pan oedd hi’n 9 oed, dechreuodd hi’n hel arian i brynu Beibl Cymraeg. Roedd hi’n gwerthu wyau, ac yn gweithio ar fferm.
Pan oedd hi’n 15 oed, cerddodd hi 26 o filltiroedd i’r Bala dros y mynyddoedd i brynu Beibl Cymraeg am 17 swllt. Ar ôl clywed stori’r daith, prynodd Thomas Charles o’r Bala y Beibl iddi.
Bu farw ar y 29ain o Fis Rhagfyr 1864.

Y Cerflun o Mary Jones
Mae ei chroen yn wyn achos mae hi â chalon bur.
Mae ganddi hi y adnodau o’r Beibl Gymraeg ar ei breichiau ac ar ei choes megis fel sgroliau.
Mae’r Beibl wedi’i agor efo Genesis Pennod 1, adnod 1

The sculpture of Mary Jones
Her skin is white to symbolise her purity.
The chapters of the Welsh language Bible are engraved into her flesh as if written to scrolls.
The Bible is opened to Genesis, Chapter one, Verse one.
