Jane Claypool

Seen as daughter of Rebecca Byrd & John Byrd, of Chowan, NC

Jane Byrd Claypool of Rockingham, VA is probably ~not~ a daughter of John Byrd of Surry VA and Chowan NC. There is no Jane listed in the will of John Byrd (although there is a reference to an unborn child). She is probably from the Byrd family of Rockingham, VA (unrelated to these Byrds).
