DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jane by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jane:
Is there a reliable source for her maiden name? The Cooke "silver book" (pub. 1996) says her maiden name is unknown. Perhaps you have a more recently published source that identifies her as Rossiter? The Edward Small Genealogy only identifies her as Jane, as far as I can see. If there isn't a reliable source, her LNAB should be changed to Unknown.
