Black Loyalist and Matriarch of Nova Scotian Settlers
Jane Jackson Thompson (also Thomson) (c. 1719–after 1792) was an enslaved person who lived with her common-law husband, Talbot Thompson, until he was able to purchase her freedom in 1769. Talbot was a successful sailmaker who provided Jane and their family with a comfortable life.
They became Black Loyalists during the American Revolutionary War after all of their property was burned down in 1776. Her children and their families became loyalists and joined the British between 1775 and 1780. Her children were with several interconnected enslavers, mainly from the Norfolk, Virginia area. Under Lord Dunmore's proclamation of 1775, Jane and her family members were loyal to the British and attained or maintained their freedom under the British.
She came to Nova Scotia in 1783 when she was between 60 and 70. Her descendants lived in Birchtown and other towns in Nova Scotia. She was the matriarch of Nova Scotian Settlers who relocated to Sierra Leone in 1792.
