Female Abt 1673 -


Personal Information    |    PDF

  • Name Jane GILES[?] 
    Birth Abt 1673 
    Gender Female 
    Notes 
    • (1) There are substantial questions about the accuracy of at least some of the information about Jane GILES contained in Monnette, Orra Eugene, First Settlers of Ye Plantations of Piscataway and Woodbridge Olde East New Jersey, Part 5, Los Angeles, CA: The Leroy Carman Press, 1931, p. 719. Information from that source should be viewed with caution, since the author, Orra Eugene Monnette, sometimes reached erroneous conclusions based upon flimsy evidence.

      ? There were at least 2 families in the area with the surname GILES/GYLES. If Jane, the wife of John WORTH, had the maiden name GILES/GYLES, then she would probably have belonged to another GILES family. Jane was not named in the will of her purported father, James. Jane did not name any of her children James or Matthew, after her purported father, James, or her purported half-brother, Matthew.

      (2) The questions about the accuracy of information on p. 719 of Orra Eugene Monnette's book are based upon the research of Jeanette Sarah (Graham) French (1936-2021).

      (3) The information below is taken from p. 719 of Orra Eugene Monnette's book and is presented here so that the accuracy of some of such information can be questioned:

      JANE [GILES], b. ca. 1673, and strangely, not named in the will of her father, but really existent and easily proven to have been a dau. of MAJOR JAMES GYLES, for, as such she m. Aug. 7, 1694, JOHN WORTH, b. May 10, 1669, (vide, WORTH, this PART, post indic.).

      (4) Because of the substantial questions about the accuracy of the information about Jane contained on p. 719 of Orra Eugene Monnette's book, the compiler considers Jane GILES[?] to be an unproven daughter of James GILES.
