Jane Gilkey Nevins¹

5 Mar 2023

Birth*	Jane was born on 15 August 1806 in Tennessee. Her FSTrees entry ID no. KCB9-S4C claims she's d/o James N Nevins and Anne Jenkins and has a brother William. The 1850 census supports James as her father and a William lives next door. William Nevins was also surety on her marriage bond. Her Find A Grave memorial confirms parents, brother, and a twin sister Henley S Nevins Guthrie.2,3
Marr-License*	Jane applied for a marriage license to wed Benjamin Thomas Blair at Rutherford Co., Tennessee, on 12 March 1827. The record at FamilySearch says issued 12 Mar 1827, solemnized blank.

Her children 22 yo Jas N and 14 yo Lucinda J Blair were living with her. The 1850 doesn't list marital status so we can't confirm she's a widow but the circumstances support it. William Nivin and family live next door.3
Death*	Jane died on 19 September 1884 in Tennessee at age 78.2
Burial*	She was buried at Guthrie Cemetery in Nashville, Davidson Co., Tennessee. Find A Grave provides photo of her headstone.2
