I assume Jane is an illigitamte daughter of one of Jonn Sr's children since she is living with the family in 1871. I can not connect her in. She does not appear in the 1881 census. She has not likey married but may be working as a domestic somewhere or possibly died before 1881.
• Jane resided at the home of her uncle Younger and grandmother Christina McRorie in Elderslie Twp, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada in 1871.
