Biography
She was born on 06 Nov 1786 in South Carolina, USA. Her birth date is essentially unsourced in the myriad family trees in which they appear; however, given its pre-Internet presence, it's possible that it was inscribed on her headstone (now lost).
The source for Jane as a "Moore" or her frequent link to the "Waxhaw District" is unknown. She did give a daughter the middle name of "Moore". [Please see Research Note of 4/2/2021]

Research Notes
Although there are not currently found any sources for Jane's maiden name of Moore other than the compiled marriage record, this historian has been able to confirm an mtDNA genetic connection (with a genetic distance of 1) between myself (5th Great Granddaughter of Elizabeth Moore) and a female direct descendant of Jane (Moore) McCray, giving credence to them being sisters. It is my understanding that it has been established previously that Jane and Mary (there is an actual marriage record with photographs of the documents for Mary MORE and Henrey McCray) were sisters through genetic research, according to the descendant of Jane Moore McCray. It has also been reported that there was also a brother (possibly James) who was reportedly married in Washington County, Tennessee in 1806. There has been no source confirmation to date, but an mtDNA genetic connection (genetic distance 1) was made yesterday (4/1/2021) between myself and a female descendant of Dora Mae Moore Fletcher (born about 1890), indicating to me that a brother of Elizabeth, Mary and Jane could be likely. Research will continue. [8]

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:
