Biography

Jane (or Jean) Blair was born about 1764 in Faggs Manor, Chester, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Richard Samuel Blair Jr. and Susannah Shippen.[1]

At the age of about 18, Jane married Joseph Lewis Finley on July 4, 1782, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, when she was about 18. They had thirteen children - Hannah, Juliet (died in infancy), Michael Lewis (died at age 1), Elizabeth Deborah, Nancy Dean (twin), Harvey Dean (twin, died in infancy), John Blair, Joseph Lewis, James, Ebenezer, Mary Brown, Samuel Blair, and Margaret.[2][3][4]

In 1790, she was likely living in a household headed by her husband in South Huntington, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, that included another male under 16 and 2 other females.[5] In 1820, the couple were in a household in Monroe, Adams, Ohio, that included three males 16-25, one female 10-15, and one male slave.[6]

Jane died on July 1, 1840, in West Union, Adams, Ohio, at the age of about 76. She was buried at West Union Village Cemetery in West Union, Adams, Ohio.[7]
