Was this Jane born a Colmore or an Offutt? I'm confused where the Colmore name comes into her connections. If she's not a biological Offutt, then I'm not related to her and the pathway I'm tracing is invalid. There aren't any notes in her profile to explain the Colmore connection.

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

So that indicates she was an Offutt by birth and also married an Offutt. The only mention of the Colmore name is she had a son named:

Colmore Offutt+ b. February 6, 1787, d. February 7, 1855
