Biography
She left a will leaving the bulk of her estate to sons, especially Benjamin. She leaves a dollar to daughters Sarah Walker, Ann Rankin, Polly Taylor, 30 dollars to daughter Nelly Wilson; 20 dollars to granddaughter Jean Walker (Sarah's daughter) and 20 to grandaughter Jean Taylor (Polly's daughter). She leaves 250 dollars annually to son Ephraim, and 350 annually to Benjamin. The remainder after the sale of her property was to go "to the use of my Son Bengemin Hartgrove Children."[1][2]
She is buried at Goshen Presbyterian Cemetery, Belmont, NC[3]
Research notes
She is called Jane in some documents, but in her will she refers to herself as Jean and also leaves tokens to two granddaughters who are named after her; both called Jean.
She was likely born in the area that would become Gaston County, NC; although at the time it was called Tryon County.

Rankin-2576 and Rankin-924 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles have the same birth date and parents. Rankin-924's death date appears to be inaccurate - her grave marker and probate records suggest 1836 for her death instead of 1826.
