Jane (1Alexander) Roche of Dorchester Co MD
Jane Roche was born in about 1645 in England. And in about 1665, Jane married Edmond Brannock b. c. 1640 in Devonshire, England.
Jane and Edmond migrated in 1666 from Bristol, England, to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. This migration date is proven by a 1673 land grant to Edmund for headright. Of note, Jane's father and brother migrated before 2/1663. Reasonable conjecture leads to the belief that Jane and Edmond followed her family shortly thereafter.
Jane is last recorded in her father's 1774 Somerset Co MD will. And, she died sometime before 1/1703 when Edmond wrote his will.
