• Notes

  Jane is the daughter of the Quaker farmer John Hughes and Martha Caimot (b.1653, d.1698). Her mother died on board the ship in the Atlantic Ocean when the family was immigrating to America. She immigrated on board the ship "Robert and Elizabeth" at the age of 15 with her family. Her father was listed as one of original purchasers in 11,450 acre tract known as Gwynedd. He purchased 648 acres for his own use. Jane married the Quaker farmer Thomas Ellis on 31 Oct 1712 in the Gwynedd Meeting House in Montgomery Co., PA. Marriage Date: Until 31 Oct 1751, the Julian calendar was in use. The Quakers did not use the conventional monthly names instead they used numbers. Quaker records show that Thomas Ellis and Jane Hughes married 31 8th month 1712, at Gwynedd Meeting House. This would have been 31 Oct 1712, not August. Thomas & Jane were Quakers and Thomas was an elder for more than 30 years. He was the most prominent Quaker in PA in his time. He was also a farmer with 175 acres in Berks Co., PA. They had 9 children that they named John, Morris (infant death), Morris, Eleanor, Rowland, Thomas, Mordecai, Enos and Elizabeth Ellis.
