Jane DAVIS was born abt. 1844 in Ireland. Jane DAVIS was the child of ? and ?
Jane was an immigrant to the United States, arriving by 1867.
Spouse(s)/Partner(s) and Child(ren):
Jane married John BAKER . The couple had (at least) 9 children. John BAKER was born abt. 1830 in Ireland. John died 21 May 1898 in Warwick, Rhode Island, USA (Hillsgrove) (Pontiac) (Apponaug) (Warwick Neck) (Nausauket).
Jane DAVIS died abt. 1898 in Rhode Island, USA.
Appears to have been born somewhere in Southern Ireland (in the area that would become the Irish Free State in 1922).
Could she possibly be from Killygordon, Co. Donegal, Ireland? (Long shot)
From castlegarden -- this is the only one I have found so far that seems to match at all -- what are the odds?

Hand checked all of RI for 1896-1898.
Checked Sutton, MA from 1896-1898.
Hand checked Warwick deaths from 1897-1904.
Not found.
Son, George Baker's marriage record says that both parents are dead as of October 8, 1898. So if that's true, it looks like she died between April 1896 and October 1898, likely either in MA or RI.
Davis Name Meaning
English and Welsh: patronymic meaning ‘Dafydd's (son)’ equivalent to Welsh ap Dafydd the Welsh form of David . The spelling Davis is more typical in southwestern England northwards as far as Lancashire where the frequency of the surname largely reflects Welsh migration but may sometimes represent a native English surname based on Davy (compare Davies ). Davis (including in the sense 2 below) is the eighth most frequent surname in the US. It is also very common among African Americans. Irish and Scottish: adopted for Gaelic Mac Daibhéid ‘son of David’; see McDevitt . Compare Davies . In some cases also an Americanized form (actually an adoption of the name in 1 above) of Jewish Davidovich and of its cognate Davidsohn.

1896 - February 23 - SHOT BY EMPLOYER. Sensational Affair at Office of Sutton Woolen Mills. ALBERT BAKER THE VICTIM.
Revolver Used by Charles T. Aldrich, Jr., the Mill Manager.
Interviews With All Parties to the Fracas - Mr. Aldrich Surrenders to Police and Placed Under Bonds.
Albert Baker, an employee at the Sutton woolen mills, in Woodbury Village, was shot, Saturday afternoon, by Charles T. Aldrich, Jr., the manager of the mill. Five shots were fired from the revolver, of which only one took effect. The 38-calibre ball first tore through Baker's left hand and passed nearly through his body at the crest of the hip bone on the left side, and was taken out near the crest of the hip bone at the right side, by Dr. H. W. Cronin, to whose office in Millbury the young man was taken as soon as possible after the shooting. While at work on the wound, Dr. Cronin saw Dr. Clapp of Grafton and Dr. Church of Millbury coming up the street, and, believing that the matter would come into the courts, called them into the office to have them present while the operation was being performed.

The condition of Albert Baker, the boy shot by C. T. Aldrich, Jr., Saturday, is still serious. He had a bad night Saturday night, as reported by Dr. Cronin. The wound is very painful and his nervous system is completely shattered. Edward Fallon, who was one of the mill hands that held Aldrich for a few moments when Baker was trying to get away, will be a very important witness at the trial, Wednesday. He has left the employ of Aldrich. He said: 'I do not care to work for a man that would shoot a boy in that way.' He says that Aldrich fired the shot that struck the boy, when the latter was running. The boy's parents are determined to push the case in court.
