Biography

Jane was born about 1736 in Virginia. She is believed to have been the wife of John Smith who died in Knox County, Tennessee in 1795. However, no sources have yet been found to confirm.

The 13 children listed are also not confirmed with sources. However, the following children were named in the Last Will and Testament of John Smith-146118 dated 14 January 1795: daughter Nancy, Sally, and sons Joseph, John, Robert, David, William, Henry, Jesse and Betsy.

Birthplaces of her 13 children appear odd: VA, TN, NC, VA, PA, then 5 more in VA, TN, NC and TN. The last child is obviously not hers because of the date.

If she was the 2nd wife of John Anderson Smith, whose first wife died in 1769, her first seven children could not be his. I would be curious to see sources for this entire profile.

I agree! I could not find a single source for this entire family except for the 1795 Will of John Smith where he mentions the names of 10 children: Nancy, Sally, Joseph, John, Robert, David, William, Henry, Jesse and Betsy.
