It is said that she was educated and of good descent, and was entitled to 'bear a crest', which was a "demi-lion, between its paws a cushion, tasselled', in one genealogy. Her brother, John, was said to be an Indian trader and interpreter in the employ of Captain George Lamberton. He and Lamberton were imprisoned for a time by the Swedes in Delaware Bay but no more is known of this. The exact relationship between another Wollen family (Ralph and Joyce) is not clear, but they came over on the 'Anne' in 1623, which places them in close proximity with Jane. They could be her parents. Jane was widowed by John in 1676. Three years later she married John Cooper, Sr., of New Haven, and moved back there with him. He died before her, too, and she inherited 1/3 of his lands and all his personal belongings. In January on the 21st, 1680, she gave her house and home lot in Wallingford to her son, David Hall. It had about 6ac. bounded by Daniel Hooper's home lot on the north side, and by streets on the other sides. Another record states she died in 1678 but her second husband came after that, so probably is incorrect. Another supposed date would be 1690, which was chosen for the record here. Jeanne Woollen came to America in the company of William Wilkes, a relative of hers, who arrived in Boston in 1633, and in 1639, he and his wife Joan moved to New Haven in the company of Governor Eaton. Mr. Wilkes paid her fare across the ocean, she lived in his family, and he promised 10 lbs. to her upon her marriage. Her husband, John Hall, had to go to court to collect this money; it appeared on the records many times. They finally ruled in favor of Jeanne in August of 1648.Mr. Wilkes went back to England in disgust over the defeat in court in 1644, intending to return, but instead sent for his wife to join him. She did so, but the ship that sailed from New Haven in Jan of 1647 was lost at sea. This was a freighter which took items for sale to England, and passengers. The ship was not seaworthy and, having to cut through ice to get into the sea, it was not a good time to sail. It was then called the Phantom ship because its apparition was seen the following June in the sky, being blown to pieces.
