  • Although Jane White's parentage is currently unknown, she is almost certainly related in some way to the family of Andrew and Amy (Palmer) White. She is possibly even their daughter although she does not appear to be mentioned in Andrew White's will. At least two siblings of her husband Jehiel Beardsley married children of Andrew and Amy (Palmer) White.
