Hi Eleanor,   Clues, yes.  Proof, no.  I look at this from time to time and will share these thoughts although nothing is at all conclusive.  Jane could belong to several different families.I theorize that because Elizabeth Nelson (b. 1671) is next of kin to Jane [Fisher-Elzey] and also to Thomas Shiles (d. 1719) and that Richard Crockett's wife was Alice Shiles (b. 1689) -- Elizabeth is the daughter of Thomas Shiles (d. 1676) and Alice is daughter of Thomas and Naomi Shiles (IKL) so perhaps Jane is also a daughter of Thomas Shiles, Sr. although she is not mentioned in the will and Elizabeth is. Could she be Richard Crockett's sister? She is not Naomi's sister, because Naomi is the daughter of John Bozman. Can she also be the Jane Wilson, second wife of Rev. Thomas Wilson, about whom nothing is known but they appear to be on the same tract of land?   The "next of kin" relationships are tricky, as I'm sure you know.  What I consider next of kin and what our forebears deemed nok is not at all similar.  My various theories about Jane's identity could be way off.   Becky M ----- Original Message ---- From: Eleanor Brundick <ebtalbott@verizon.net> To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 9:06:18 AM Subject: [LDR] Sarah Fisher Becky, Thank you so much for the Sarah Fisher Rencher information.  Do you have any clues as to the identity of her mother - Jane?  This is my mitochondrial DNA line.
