Biography

Her maiden name is Mills (d/o Thomas and [Margaret?] Mills). She was baptized in Rusper, Sussex, 28 June 1596, but was probably born in 1585. She first married John Burges on May 25, 1609 in Twineham, Sussex, England (England and Wales marriages 1538-1940) . She married second William Browne on August 20, 1611 in Rusper, Sussex, England (England, Select Marriages 1538-1973).

Jane emigrated to America with William & their family in 1646 but died of smallpox on the voyage.

This is nonsense. Her mother could not have been Margaret Forthe, she died four days day's before Jane was born and had a daughter Elizabeth the same year. Margaret's husband could not be Thomas Mills as her only husband died in 1625. Thomas Mills ancestry is unknown and in any event the family name referred to was Hampden not Hampton and are certainly not his ancestors.
