An account of the meeting at Berks seems to state that Jane was prominent in the meeting: " Exeter Monthly Meeting had for its ministers during its long history these Friends: Ellis Hughes, Moses Roberts, Samuel Embree, James Iddings, William Iddings, Abraham Griffith, Abel Thomas, Isaac Potts, Amos Lee, Enos Lee, Jane Ellis, Deborah Boone, Mary Lightfoot, Abigail Wily, and Dr. Henry Tyson. " As was her grandson Amos Lee.

The Boone family (Deborah) is in the line of the now somewhat mythic Daniel Boone of Kentucky.
