INFORMATION FROM RELATIVE great-great-great granddaughter Namida.
------------------
Jane was born in Towednack, Cornwall, to Isaac and Joanna (Marks) Broad. The sixth of eleven children, she attained work as a domestic servant sometime before 1861. The next twenty-five years were spent moving about the county, and once to Devon, in pursuit of employment in this capacity or as a farm laborer.
In 1872, Jane gave birth to her only child, a daughter she christened Emily Jane Broad. Emily was raised by her widowed grandfather Isaac and possibly her aunt Fanny Broad.
Samuel Henry, Jane's youngest brother, had left Cornwall for the copper mines of Michigan sometime in the 1870s. He settled in Central Mine, a microcosm of Cornish culture in America. In 1887, Jane and Emily joined him there, and on August 11 of that year, Jane married Henry Rowe. He, too, was a Cornish immigrant. Once widowed and once divorced, he had five children, to whom Jane became a stepmother.
Henry and Jane remained in Central Mine even after the mine closed in the 1890s, but by 1906, they were living in North Kearsarge with Henry's daughter, Eliza Jane Collins, and her family. It was here that Jane died on January 31 after suffering from nephritis, a kidney disease. She was buried in the plot that Henry had purchased for his first wife and premature daughter.
