Jane married Albert Gallatin Ewing, Jan. 24, 1828. Soon after Albert graduated, he was honored by a partnership with the then celebrated Dr. Rush in a drug-store; he gained a good knowledge of medicine at this time Alexander Campbell preached in Nashville when Albert was nineteen, and his parents and himself were among the first converts Campbell made there. The reformer and his young convert loved each other. Albert gave up fine prospects of earthly honor and riches and followed the then persecuted Campbell to Bethany, became a student under him, traveled with him on some of his extensive preaching tours, and finally married Campbell's eldest daughter. She died young, like all of Campbell's first family of gifted and beautiful daughters.
