225Jean/Jane Omond was born in North Carolina,1-3 apparently circa 17962,3 (although one census1 shows an age that is very inconsistent with all the others2-5).

Her name varies considerably in the available records: Her marriage bond shows her name as "Jean." 6 Two later censuses show "Jane." 1,2 The final census shows "Mary J." 3 Her maiden name—Omond—is known only from her marriage bond (see below).6

On 19 March 1816(?) in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 225Jean's soon-to-be husband 224Silas Brown received a bond to marry her.6 For more information about their marriage, their lives together, etc., see his profile since that information won't be repeated here.

1816(?): 224Silas Brown's and 225Jean Omond's marriage bond. Full page.6
This is the only record that proves 225Jean's maiden name.

Her husband 224Silas died in Cobb County, Georgie in June 1869.7 The 1870 census shows 225Jean ("Mary J.") living with her son Robert, daughter Mary, and a young woman Sarah (whose relationship to the rest of the family is not clear to me).3

1870: 225Jean, a widow, lives with two of her children in Cobb County, Georgia. Full page.3

The 1870 census is the last record I've found of 225Jean. I don't know where she's buried; she's not in the indices of any of the three volumes of Ann Bishop Seymour's Cobb County, Georgia Cemeteries.
