ELWELL, Jane ^{1 2 3 4}

  General Notes:

Jane could be related to the line of Elwell's in the "Elwell Family in America." (C-194) There is a John Elwell who was born abt. 1717 in Salem Co., NJ and died there on Dec. 19, 1785 who time wise could be a brother. He was probably the son of a John or Will living in New Jersey at the time. There are three Hesekiah Elwells of parental age in Maine Co., York Co. and Hancock Co. of the Maine Colony as well as one Nathaniel Elwey in South Carolina. (C-233)

Although I have several published books that say his 2nd wife was Jane Elwell, I have evidence from a series of land transactions in Philadelphia Co., PA from 1750 - 1764 that suggests that Jane's real name was Carter or that George was also married to a Jane Carter by 1751 instead.

In any case, Jane was still living and witnessed her son James Hollingsworth's marriage to Sarah Wright in 1786 in the Bush River Quaker Meeting Records.

Jane married George HOLLINGSWORTH, son of Abraham HOLLINGSWORTH and Ann ROBINSON, before 1755. (George HOLLINGSWORTH was born on Apr 7, 1712 in , Cecil, MD, USA and died in 1772-1785 of Craven, NC or Ninety Sixth District, SC.)
