She married William Beal, son of unknown parents, on April 1, 1690, in York, Maine.Their children included Zacheus, Richard, Obadiah, William, Joanna, Mary, Samuel, Simeon, Comfort, and Benjamin. In 1712, Indians captured a neighbor's daughter, Olive Plaisted, and killed 11-yr-old Joanna Beal, William's daughter. [1]

In 1695 William and Jane were Henry Deering's tenants on land formerly owned by Richard White. In 1698, while on scout duty, William was seriously wounded. In 1708 he was a ferryman. On March 31, 1724, he received a deed from John Woodman of York for 1/7 of a tract of land on the south side of the York River formerly belonging to Thomas Trafton, bounded southeast by land formerly owned by Edward Beals and south by the Kittery line.
