Biography
sketcher, fourth of the five daughters of Rev. Samuel Marsden and Elizabeth, née Fristan, of Parramatta, New South Wales, was born in Hull, Yorkshire, on 7 December 1808 when her parents were staying with Fristan relatives. A diary of a voyage to England in the Nimrod dating from 14 June to 19 August 1827 (private collection, England) has been attributed to her, while sketches of the Parramatta district where her father was Church of England minister (family collections, England) are also thought to be by her and/or her sisters. A watercolour portrait (Mitchell Library) attributed to Richard Read junior shows Jane standing with her hand on her sketchbook, open at a page containing a view of a colonial cottage. Jane married her second cousin Thomas Marsden (d.1836). This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography. Writers: Staff Writer Date written: 1992 Last updated: 2011
