Jane Wellwood was a resident of Chowan County, North Carolina in 1774 when she and her relative Elizabeth Wellwood Patterson signed a non-importation agreement that later became known as the Edenton Tea Party Resolves. No further records pointing to Jane Wellwood's identity have been located. As Chowan County marriage records for this era are incomplete, it is possible she married sometime after 1774 or relocated away from the area, but no further information has been identified.
