We only know of one marriage proposal Jane Austen received. It came from a man named Harris Bigg-Wither, who was very wealthy, but not very attractive. She accepted it, but after thinking about it for about a day, decided to break the engagement.

Unfortunately, there is a lot about Jane Austen's life we do not know, and so there may have been other marriage proposals we do not know about.
