Jane Walker, daughter of Thomas Walker, Sr. and Elizabeth Magill Walker, was born in Blount Co., TN (then still part of North Carolina) in about 1794, some two years before Tennessee statehood. It was there also that she and her next-older brother, Thomas, married two Gwin siblings; she married John Gwin in 1812, and Tom married Polly Gwin perhaps about 1814.
She and her new husband moved to Alabama, and all their known children were born there, most in Dallas County. She lived the entire remainder of her life in Dallas County.
She is buried in the New Cemetery at Cahaba, AL in a grave marked by an undated stone which reads simply, "In Memory of Jane Gwin". We know that her death was after the sale of some of their property, the date on the deed of which sale is 16 Feb 1864. We further know that the 1870 census record lists John as a widower, thus leaving a window of some five to six years for her death (her date of death listed above, 1867, is only approximate, arbitrarily selected from about the middle of that window).
John would outlive her by at least seven years, dying in Shelby County at the home of his son William in 1877. He is buried at the Wilsonville City Cemetery, Shelby Co., AL.
