Jean was born after 1729. She was the daughter of John Heath.[1]
Jean is mentioned in the will of her father, John Heath, on June 17, 1769, in which he bequeaths to her --along with her sisters Mary, Francis, and Temperance-- half of all his estate, to be given to them after either the death or remarriage of his widow Mary Heath. Also returned to his widow, Mary, was the estate she "was possessed of at the time of our marriage". Her brothers John, Henry, William, Thomas, and Frederick are bequeathed his set of Smiths Tools, and her brother Frederick the other half of John's estate.[1]
