JANE WILLIAMS married OWEN ROBERTS. Documentation for this line was provided by descendant Lois Murphy.
Philadelphia MM Records may pertain to this couple.
1747, 9, 27. Owen & wife Jane, received on certificate from Gwynedd MM
1751, 6, 27. Owen and wife Jane got a certificate to Gwynedd MM
1754, 11, 29. Owen and wife Jane, received on certificate from Buckingham MM
1755, 12, 26. Jane granted certificate to Gwynedd MM.
1755, 12, 26. Owen disowned by Philadelphia MM.

Gwynedd MM minutes, "At our Monthly Meeting held in Gwynedd the 25th of the 8th mo 1752. 5th Owen Roberts being present in this Meeting confesses his being sorry for his giving Friends any trouble in that Rum was used at his Vendue, and this Meeting accepts of it, and on application for a certificate for said Owen and his wife to Buckingham Monthly Meeting, Rees Harry and Amos Griffith are desired to make the necessary inquiry and draw one accordingly.

In "The Early Church Records of Loudoun County, Virginia, 1745-1800" by Marty Hiatt, "Benjamin Burson, son of Joseph Burson married Ann Roberts, 23rd day of 10th mo 1760. Witnesses: Joseph Burson, Owen Robert, Jane Robert, Catherine Robert, William Robert, Owen Williams, William Williams, Margrett Williams, Feby? West, Elizabeth Potts, Prisylla Williams, Elizabeth Hough, Samuel Potts, Jonas Potts, Mary Kirk, Margret Norton, Elener Poultney, Alice Yates, Elizabeth Norton, Jane Cunard, James Burson, Mary Burson, James Potts (smith), David Potts, Elizabeth Potts, Mary Potts, Martha Hatfield, Sarah Potts, Jos. Burson (mason), James Cunard, Shadrick Lewelin, Levy Wells, John Hough, Francis Hague, Wm. Grant, James Carter, Edward Norton, Jos. Yates, Thos Lewillin, Isaac Williams, Mercer Brown, Robert Yates, Andrew Adam, Ann Carr." Presumably from the way the witnesses sign this document, Ann is the daughter of Owen and Jane (Williams) Roberts. Note Jane's brother William signs along with William's children.

On September 28th, 1761, Catharine Roberts (now Popkins) was reported married out of unity, and on December 26th, 1761, she was disowned. (Loudoun Co., VA)

Owen Roberts left a will in 1776 in Loudoun Co., VA which is abstracted:
Loudoun Co., VA; From "Abstracts of Wills, Inventories, and Administration Accounts of Loudoun County, Virginia, 1757-1800", Owen Roberts' will: 11 Jan 1776. "Legatees: wife Jean Roberts; son William Roberts, all land; son William to pay daughter Catherine Popkin 40 shilling yearly for ten years; grandson Joseph Banon or Burow [Lois believes it should be Burson]. Exr: wife Jean Roberts.

And then also from "The Early Church Records of Loudoun County:" 7th mo 1770, "Ellen (Eleanor) Roberts, formerly Williams, has gone out in marriage with William Roberts, her first cousin, they also had carnal knowledge of each other before marriage." Presumably this is the son of Owen and Jane and presumably Ellen is the daughter of William Williams (Jane's brother) and Margaret.
