Married in Boscawen N.H. to Samuel Ames, son of Samuel & Hannah (Dollof) Ames, who was b. 12 May 1745 in New Market, Rockingham Co. N.H. and d. 1 Sep 1825 in Boscawen, Merrimack Co. NH.
KParn, original creator, showed Jane was b. and d. in Boscawen N.H. but conflicting evidence was found on FamilySearch.org which shows birth as 20 April 1745 in Boscawen, but another record shows a Christening the next day in Newbury, Mass. 76 miles apart. Since Stephen moved to N.H. in 1733 it is most probable that the birth was Boscawen, as was the Christening. The Christening in Newbury must be in error or that of a different Jane Gerrish, dau of a different Stephen Gerrish. (jgw)
