Contact has been made with Donna Barraclough and Liz Wallace who are descendants of Thomas Hugh, Mariner and joint owner of Elizabeth Jane at the first registration in 1817 at Guysborough, Nova Scotia. The names of his family members seem to explain how this ship came to be called Elizabeth Jane. Thomas Hugh was married to Jane Aikens and with her had two daughters: Elizabeth Sarah b: 1810 and Sarah Jane b: 1812. Jane Aiken's mother's name was also Elizabeth.
Nothing is yet know about Charles Brown who jointly owned Elizabeth Jane at this time.
