JANE WADDY

 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Jane Waddy was born about 1700.  Her father may have been Samuel Waddy. Mother may have been Ann or Rebecca Williams.   Nothing is confirmed about him.
The St. Peter's Parish records show that Samuel Waddy was carpenter for the church from at least 1689 to 1702.  The records show requests for him to build pews, and help maintain the road during those years. 

An Ancestry.com entry from mspw45a@prodigy.com had the information that Jane was born in 1684 and christened at St. Peters Parish in New Kent county Virginia.
but a record in the Register dated Jan 15, 1687/8 on page 446, notes that Jane, daughter of Sam Waddy had died, less then 2 weeks after her brother Sam jr.  For a later baby to be named the same as a deceased child was very common, so I hold that it is possible.  But there seem to be no church records of our Jane.

                                        St. Peter's it is the oldest parish church in the Diocese of Virginia and the third oldest in the Commonwealth.  Virginia's General Court confirmed the establishment of St Peter's                                                 Parish on April 29, 1679.  It is the home parish of Martha Washington.   They have a website with  a concise history of the church as well as a drawing of the lovely building,
                                        which dates to 1703.

Jane Waddy married William Street about 1710 probably in Virginia. They are said to have had five children:
1. John Street born about 1711 maybe in Somerset England
2. Rachel Street born about 1712
3. William Street born about 1714
4 Anthony Street born 1717 in King William county wed Elizabeth Brockman
5. Joseph Street born 1720

William died 1752 in Caroline County Virginia. It is not known when Jane died.  There is suppose to be a Carolina County Will filed for William Street in 1752.  I need to find that will.
