Biography

Jane was a Friend (Quaker)

Research Notes

The family list shows this person's name as Sarah and states that she married John Duckett. I think this is an error, and that her name was really Jane, as stated in the marriage certificate cited below. Of course, it is possible that Jane had a sister named Sarah, born in 1685, who married John Duckett first, then died after which he married Jane, but this seems implausible for the following reasons:

• Jane Devonsher is not listed in the Family List
• There was already a Sarah Devonsher who was born in 1668 and was still alive until 1712 (she married John Dennis). It would be very unusual to give a child the same name as another living child.
• There is no marriage certificate for John Duckett and Sarah Devonsher but there is one for John Duckett and Jane Devonsher
• There is no death record for a Sarah Duckett but there is one for a Jane Duckett, 'wife of John Duckett'
