From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-524777:
She is not Jane Hussey. This a very old error first put in print in 1911 by Nellie Zada Rice Molyneux in his History Genealogical and Biographical of the Eaton Families. [2] There is absolutely no evidence to support this other than what is likely a misinterpretation of heraldry.
She cannot be the daughter of Thomas Hussey of Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, by his wife Bridget Bowes, as has been alleged, as their daughter Elizabeth became eventual heir of that family after the death of her brothers and nephew.[3] Thomas Hussey’s eldest son and heir, John Hussey, of Honington and Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, left a long and detailed will dated 14 Aug. 1583 and proved 5 Sep. 1587 [Jane, wife of William Eaton, would have been a young widow when the will was made], proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC), 55 Spencer [FHL film #91,972]. He left his distant cousin Charles Hussey, jr., of Belton, Lincolnshire, as male heir of his estates. His sister, Elizabeth Hussey, had married Thomas Stydolf/Stydolph, of Norbury, Surrey. John’s brother George Hussey had had one son named John, but they were both clearly dead by 1583 without surviving issue. From these records, it is certain that Thomas Hussey of Caythorpe did not have a daughter Jane or she would have been part of the Hussey inheritance.
It is likely that the supposition that Jane was a Hussey at all comes from an error in heraldry. The Eatons of Dover quartered Eyton of Shropshire (or, a fret azure) with gules 2 bars ermine (Pantulf) – this was mistaken for the Hussey arms of barry of 6 ermine and gules (i.e. 3 bars of ermine).
Jane’s maiden name for now is unknown.
I have detached the Hussey parents and set her maiden name to unknown.
