Biography

Jane Lee is thought to have been the wife of Robert Wilson. However, Robert may have had another wife, Janet Anderson. Robert probably married one or both of these women before he left Scotland/Ireland and settled in Virginia. No marriage records are available.

Jane's early life is undocumented. Her birth date is simple guesswork. We know that she was living when Robert wrote his will in 1745. She is assumed to be the mother of one or more of Robert's children.
