From FindaGrave:

Jane was the daughter of William & Martha (Ford) Nelson.

She married in Plymouth on Dec. 13, 1672 Elder Thomas Faunce who was ordained Deacon of the First Church of Plymouth, Dec. 26, 1686, also Town Clerk of Plymouth from 1685 to 1723. He was the last ruling Elder of the First Church in Plymouth.

Note: "Burial Hill in the 1990's" did not find a stone for Mrs Jane Faunce. Kingman did document her stone between 1852-1892, but it was not found in the 1990's.

Jane's gravemarker may have been between her daughter Priscilla and her husband Thomas. As shown in the cemetery picture there is an empty spot between them.

Inscription

In memory of
Mr. GIDEON BRADFORD
who
DIED April 5
1805
aged 52 years
"Down the mansions of the silent dead,
Behold the husband, parent, friend is fled.
His generous heart was prompt at pitty's call.
He ever felt and prayed and wept for all,
Lending redeeming love, he spent his days,
And his last dying accents uttered praise."
