Notes:

Died:
Jane lived much of her later life, with her son James Tristram Simpson and his family.

Notes:

Married:
James and Jane never actually married because there was no proof of her first husband's death (William Demery). As I understand it there had to be a fifteen-year period before presumption of death could be accepted but unfortunately James died young just as that period of time was elapsing.
