JANE CLARKE: A STRONG WOMAN. THE ENGLISH ORIGINS OF WILLIAM COLLIER’S WIFE
First published in Mayflower Descendant, Vol. 69, No.1, this article contains historic breakthrough genealogical findings from Bill Cole’s English origins research project started in 2015. It contains Jane Clarke’s parents, her true maiden name, unknown children, and details of her life in England before marrying William Collier in 1611.
This is a “must have” for researchers interested in important people who contributed much to Plymouth Colony in the seventeenth century.
