Nearly 6 years late for an answer, but their daughter would not have been Lady North as this Dudley North who was said to have married Thomasine Copinger was a plain Mr North. He may or may not have been a relative of the North family of Mildenhall who descend from Roger 2nd Baron North of Kirtling. Two of the members of that family both named Henry, father and son ,were 1st and 2nd Baronets of Mildenhall in succession. With the death of the 2nd Baronet in 1695 the title became extinct.

Submissions to the Church of LDS records are many and varied and just cannot be relied upon. Their website specifically warns that the submissions shown need to be verified by third parties.

The most popular Internet father and mother of the so-called 'Lady' Jane North, or as some enthusiasts would have it 'Lady' Jane Bridgett(e) North, are Dudley 4th Baron North of Kirtling and his wife Anne Montague. No such daughter existed in their family and if she had been their daughter she would not as the daughter of a Baron had the title of 'Lady' she would have been The Honourable Miss Jane North.

Other putative father's names bandied around on the Internet or on the Church of LDS website and various Family Trees are John Dudley North whoever he was, and a mysterious 'Lord' Roger North who did not exist at the time of Jane North's various birth dates of 1633, 1634, 1635 and 1643.

Jane (Bridgett(e)) North the wife of William Henry Moss in Virginia may well have existed, but I have seen no evidence from records I have accessed that she was a member of the aristocratic family either as a widow or daughter. Jane was not down the generations a name the Norths used for their daughters.

If the various trees stem from old family bibles or other personal family records they are not evidence of a Lady Jane North existing as such.

Malcolm
