ane³, b. Rochester 18 Mar 1704/5; d. perhaps in Sharon, Conn., after 5 May 1760; named in the deeds of her father and brothers (above), and she was still unmarried in 1732 when David Besse was to be responsible for the payment of her legacy of £5. This suggests that David Besse was closely related to the Landers family. He married Mary Pray; when he died in 1739 he left a widow Mary. The will of Benjamin Landers calls Jane "sister Jane Bessey"; hence we suggest that she married David Besse’s brother Joshua (Nehemiah², Anthony¹) who was living in Wareham in 1742 and who seems to be the only putative husband for her. [Lydia B. (Phinney) Brownson and Maclean W. McLean, "Thomas¹ Landers of Sandwich, Mass.," NEHGR 124:49]

Also have birth as 18 Mar 1703/4 in Sandwich, Barnstable, MA. [Descendants of William Kirby]
