Individual Details

Jane Farris

(Abt 1759 - 7 Aug 1817)



Information from Gertrude Haden has Jane Ferris & Rev. Joseph Anthony's children and descent of some of those children.

In the Fall of 1811, Jane moved to Tennessee where she lived until about 1820 when the family to moved to Madison Co Missouri. Jane stayed in Missouri only about two years and returned to Tennessee. She is said to have lived to be about 90 years old in the papers of Stella Anthony. Strangely the short history of the Beaver Creek Church, states she died 7 Aug 1817.

Papers of descendant Stella Anthony state that Jane lived to be about 90 years which would have been about 1849 The short booklet of the Bever Creek Church where Joseph Anthony was Pastor has a date of death as 7 Aug 1817, which would be more reasonable for the times. Since Stella was not born until 1880, she would not have known Jane and may have been mistaken, or confused the death date with a different Jane. It is also possible the date from the church referred to when she left the church, not when she died - however, the Bever Creek Church History has "Jane Anthony departed this life between the sixth and seventh of August about two hours before day, 1817."
