  • Name John Worley (MAYBE - NO PROOF YET) 
    • What leads me to believe that John is the father of Jane is the fact that he was a bond on her marriage to William Newberry. And at that time in Campbell, there (1786-1790) is was the only Worley listed in the tax record. And in the 1790 tax record, son Moses appears living with him, placing this John as the John who died in Tennessee in 1815.

      The problem I have against John being her father is that in 1815 when he died, his will did not list any of Jane's children (Jane had died by that time) in his will, yet he mentioned a grandchild of each of his other children. There could be any number of reasons for that however, so I continue to lean toward John being Jane's father.
