Jane Colden died in 1766.
Cadwallader Colden was born in 1688.
Cadwallader D. Colden was born in 1769.
Although there is no information about how Jane Colden died, we know that her death occurred on March 10, 1760, not in 1766 as many historians previously believed. Her obituary was in the New York Mercury in 1760 and her married name was Farguhar, having married Dr. William Farguhar in 1759. The Colden letterbooks indicate that Jane's baby died in close proximity to her own death.
Jane Colden attended the Dutchess County Grammar School in New York. She was primarily educated at home by her father, a prominent botanist, which allowed her to develop her skills in botany and natural sciences. Colden became one of the first female botanists in America and made significant contributions to the field.
