Jane was the daughter of William &
Martha (Ford) Nelson.
She married in Plymouth on Dec. 13,
1672 Elder Thomas Faunce who was
ordained Deacon of the First Church
of Plymouth, Dec. 26, 1686, also Town
Clerk of Plymouth from 1685 to 1723.
He was the last ruling Elder of the
First Church in Plymouth.

Note: "Burial Hill in the 1990's" did
not find a stone for Mrs Jane Faunce.
Kingman did document her stone between
1852-1892, but it was not found in the
1990's.
Jane's gravemarker may have been between
her daughter Priscilla and her husband
Thomas. As shown in the cemetery picture
there is an empty spot between them.
