Andrew Applegate died when the children were young, and in later years Jane went with some of her sons and a daughter to Iowa. A niece remembered her departure. "I well remember little wiry, energetic Aunt Jane, when she came on horseback to make her farewell visit. She spent the night with us , and in the morning, tying on her bonnet, she called cheerilly, 'Good-bye girls, I am not shaking hands with anybody,' and mounting her horse, she rode away to face undaunted the hardships of a new and untried country." Houstons of Pequea p. 182
