Note from Bob Mitchell: Information from Anson Co., North Carolina Website, Gathings Family, by James Gathings: Some researchers show Jane Jackson's birth date as 26 July 1801. On 15 August 1846 Jane Jackson Gathings petitioned the Probate Court of Monroe County & State of Mississippi to settle the estate of James Gathings. The petition states her late husband (James Gathings) did possess a large estate both real (in North Carolina and Mississippi) and personal property, leaving it to her and a number of children surviving him. Jane Jackson Gathings died 23 May 1876 in Union County, North Carolina. She is buried in the David A. Covington lot in Monroe, North Carolina.

Jane Gathings of Union County, North Carolina, 24 Feb 1849
- ↑ A family member has written: "I visited Jane's grave in 1990 in Monroe Cemetery, Monroe, Union Co., NC. She is buried in the David A. Covington lot, and is beside that of her daughter, Susannah Ann Pemelia Gathings Covington, and her son-in-law, David A. Covington. Her grave is marked by the most prominent marker in the cemetery."
- ↑ She left an extensive will which one family said of it: 'the will reads more like a business contract than a will!' A previous lawsuit to gain access to her husband's wealthy, unmarried, brother's estate was apparently still up in the air and she made specific bequests as to how each of her children should handle their share (if they got it). She was a strong and loving mother who wanted equality for her daughters and fought for it. Under the law at the time, the widows received 1/3 of the estate and the sons the rest, leaving the daughters with nothing. Jane didn't feel that was right and recorded in her will documentation of notes held against her sons in order for them to give up some of their share of their father's estate to their sisters or pay a price.
