Charts | Ancestors of Adele La Force |
Jane Parr, daughter of Thomas Parr, Esq. and Margaret Leyland, died at Rhodes, Lancashire, England, between 24 October 1579 and 8 March 1580/81, the dates of her will and its proof.1,2 In her will, she requested burial at Prestwich, Lancashire, England.1
Jane married John Foxe, Gent., whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), after 1558 when her father wrote his will but did not give her married name.2,3
Jane left a will dated 24 October 1579, and proved 8 March 1580[/1]. What follows is an abstract, though labeled as a "transcript." Paragraphing added for clarity:
Piccope had made the abstracts much earlier, and by the time Earwaker compiled them, the originals were lost. Jacobus noted her will was not yet in print, either not noticing, or at least not commenting on its loss.1,4
