Biography
There is no known documentation surrounding Jane's dates of birth and death. Jane was apparently the daughter of a chief. She was Cree, and most likely Swampy Cree, or Lowland or Homeguard Cree. [1]
Marriage
Jane was united with the Sloop Master Captain George Taylor II circa 1797.[2] Jane 'formally' married George Taylor on January 11,1828 at Saint-Johns, Red River Settlements.[3]
Children
George Jane had nine children. There is no record of the baptisms of George and Jane Taylor's children in Rupert's Land, so we really don't know the order of their births. Their first children, George III., Peter and Thomas were reportedly born between 1798 and 1802.
- George III, born between 1798-1800 at York Factory, married: Jan 11, 1828 at St. John's, Red River Settlement, died: Nov 15, 1844; spouse: Jane Prince
- Peter, born between 1799 and 1802, died: Dec 12, 1839 in the Arctic, while on the Dease-Simpson Expedition.
- Thomas, born between 1800 and 1802, Red River Settlement, baptized: Aug 12, 1821, at: Norway House; married: Aug 16, 1831; spouse: Mary Keith. Death: 18 Dec 1879 in Pembroke, Ontario
- John, born circa 1804. His death September 5, 1809 as a youth is noted in the post records.
- Mary, born circa 1796, spouses: John Stuart & John Smith. Mary is mentioned in several books as being married to John Stuart when her sister Margaret arrived at their residence in 1829. Mary was abandoned by John Stuart in 1835. In 1837, Mary went to England, but returned in 1839. She married John Smith in 1847
- Margaret 'Peggy', born 1805 on the "Polar Sea", married: March 24, 1831 at Red River Settlement; spouse(s) Governor George Simpson & Louis Amable Hogue.
- Jane married in Saskatchewan to MacDougal.
- Ann "Nancy", born 1811, married: Aug 17, 1831; spouses: William Harper & John Cox
- Robert, born 1815. He reportedly accompanied his father to England and never returned. He had been in communication with his family until 1837 when he was a mate on a coaler belonging to either Sheilds or Newcastle.
Death
Jane's Last Will stated "When I die, if I leave any money, I wish it to be divided share and share alike among my four Daughters - Peggy married to Hogue, Mary living with her brother Thomas - Nancy married to Cox - and Jane married in the Saskatchewan." HBCA, A16/13
