Betty was 40 years old when Ephraim McLaughlin died and Jacob Clark was 20 years old when they married. Betty died in 1823 at the age of 64. .:
I have been researching the Zane family for over 35 years. Don't believe everything that you read about this family. MUCH misinformation has been published and republished about them and quite a lot of it has been misproven.
