The approximate age of Jane Rookings was unclear before I found this bit of info yesterday:
"WILLIAM ROOKINS, 150 acs. James Citty Co., 9 May 1636,p.349. Lying Wly. upon the upper Cheppoecks Cr., Nly. upon the upper Chippoecks Cr., Nly. upon James Riv., Ely. upon land of Samuell Edmonds & Sly. into the maine woods. Said land called by the name of the flying point, 50 acs. for the per. adv. of his wife Jane BAXTER & 100 acs. for trans of 2 pers: Robert Risby, John Allen. Renewed by Sir John Harvey.Test: Tho Cooke, Clr."
The marriage date of William and Jane is not known by me.Elizabeth, first wife of Henry Randolph is reported to be born ca. 1632. It is very well possible that she was their daughter.
