Individual Details
Jane [wife of Thomas Mayhew] [UNKNOWN]
(1625 - Aft 1670)
"MAYHEW, Thomas2 (1621-1657) & Jane (GALLION) [PAINE], w Thomas, m/3 Richard SARSON 1667+; by 1648; Martha's Vineyard "
Anderson explains this as follows:
"Lechford records several documents in which Thomas Mayhew and his wife Jane Mayhew, formerly the wife of Thomas Paine of London, act as guardians for Thomas Paine, Jane's son with her first husband [Lechford 184-86, 240]. Savage introduced confusion by stating that the widow Paine bore the Christian name "Grace" rather than Jane [Savage 3:185]. It may be this confusion that led him to state that the wife of the younger Thomas Mayhew was Jane Paine, allegedly daughter of this non-existent Grace, and therefore his stepsister.
"Edward Everett Hale Jr., Lechford's editor, showed that Grace did not exist, and also that, based on the documents in Lechford, there is no evidence that the younger Thomas married a stepsister named Jane Paine [Lechford 184]."
