Jane Stephens - the answer! (General)

Couldn't sleep last night and brain turned to the discrepancy between the Jane Read burial record which indicated birth was 1728 and baptismal record in 1738.Checking on deaths, Francis died aged abt 53, leaving Jane aged just 45....a healthy, middle aged experienced lady......she remarried! Her death record seems to confirm, thus scratching the 1728 birth theory. Must have been another Jane Read.

re marries after death of Francis in 1783:
