Research Notes

Jane has a very plausible family being born in St Cleer at the right time (parents John Stephens and Elizabeth Hambly). Unfortunately there is another sibling where she should fit.
There are lots of John and Elizabeth Stephens marrying in Cornwall at the time. A search 1740-60 gives 40 his in the LDS, but none in Linkinhorne. No-one has parents for her in Ancestry
