Biography

Jane was the daughter of Robert Haviland and Elizabeth Guise/Guyse.[1][2][3] She was baptised at St. Werbergh's, Bristol, 2 August 1612.[4] She was likely to have been born in Bristol.[2][3]

Jane married William Torrey, son of Philip Torrey and and Alice Richards.[5] She was his second wife.[2][3] Douglas Richardson gives a marriage date of 17 March 1629[2][3] but 17 March 1629/30 is the date recorded in Bishop's transcripts for William's first marriage, to Agnes Combe.[6][7] Clifford L Stott says that William was granted administration of Agnes's estate on 14 February 1630/1[8] and suggests a date of about 1631 for his marriage to Jane.[9] A marriage year of about 1631 is supported by the probable birth year of her older son Samuel. They had two sons:

Jane was buried on 27 April 1639[2][3] at Combe St Nicholas, Somerset where her husband resided.[11][12]

Magna Carta Project

This profile was developed for the Magna Carta project by Michael Cayley on 22 April 2022 and was reviewed 23 April 2022 by Thiessen-117.
Jane Haviland is named in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestors, brothers William Torrey and Samuel Torrey, to Magna Carta Surety Baron Saher de Quincy (vol. II, pages 376-380 HAVILAND) that was badged by the Magna Carta Project in May 2022. She also appears in another trail, identified by the Project in 2015, from the Torreys to surety baron John FitzRobert. That trail needs further development against the Project's checklist. See these trails in the Magna Carta Trails section of William Torrey's profile.
See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".

Is there a reason the father and mother have not been confirmed. Would be nice to go to the next step on the relationship listing. Thanks.

The Magna Carta Project is very wary of marking parent-child relationships as confident. There is a full exposition of its policy on this at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Magna_Carta_Project_Policy_and_Procedures#When_to_select_.22Confident.22. Basically, we need strong primary source evidence of a kind which is unlikely to look shaky in the light of further research. Once the relationship is marked as confident, if some degree of doubt subsequently emerges, the only option is to mark the relationship as uncertain, which may imply a greater degree of doubt than actually exists - the relationship will often be highly probable. Our default position is to give no confidence marking. As an aside, this is also the default position of many WT members who work on early, particularly medieval, profiles. Even primary sources can on occasion prove a less firm basis for a relationship than was thought.

In this case, though, you are right that there is strong primary sourcing, so I am marking the relationship as confident.

Thank you for updating my 9th ggrandmother. Your explaination is interesting but that would beg a new classification. "Almost confident - awaiting more study"
