Jane "Jennie" Tatlock (1837-1915) was born in Liverpool, England, the daughter of James Tatlock (1811-1846) and his wife Jane Orrett (1808-1847). James was the son of William Tatlock of England and Mary Lloyd of Wales. His brother John Tatlock (1808-1886) was born in Wales. John emigrated to the U. S. in 1830 and worked while preparing to further his education. He entered Williams College in 1832 and graduated in 1836. He served two years as a Tutor before becoming Professor of Mathematics in 1838. That year he married Lucy Benjamin Perry (1815-1842), the daughter of Dr. Alfred T. Perry and Lucy Benjamin. Their son John Tatlock was born December 4, 1841. Both mother and child developed tuberculosis, resulting in Lucy's death in February 1842 and little John's the next month. On July 18, 1843, John married Sarah Marie Benjamin (1810-1890), the aunt of his first wife. In 1845 Professor Tatlock was appointed Librarian at Williams. He became a U. S. citizen in May 1849 and was licensed to preach as a Congregational minister in October 1852. He received a law degree from Western Reserve College in 1865 and resigned from Williams in 1867. He was admitted to the bar in June 1868 and, in early 1869, moved to Pittsfield, MA, where he practiced law. John and Sarah are buried in the Westlawn Cemetery in Williamstown.

In 1850 John and Sarah Tatlock took in three of his brothers' orphaned children: Jennie, her brother John Tatlock (1835-1902), and her sister Margaret Tatlock (1841-1917). In 1852 their brother William Tatlock (1833-1896) joined them. At some point, the Tatlocks took in Henry Tatlock (1848-1942) from Ireland. John, William, and Henry all attended Williams College. John graduated from Auburn Seminary and became a Presbyterian minister in NY. William graduated from the General Theological Seminary in NY and became an Episcopal minister in CT. Henry taught school and married Margaret around 1875. He graduated from the General Theological Seminary and became Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Ann Arbor, MI.

(1881), Phi Beta Kappa, Gamma of Massachusetts, Williams College (1887), and The Living Church (November 15, 1942).
Jennie attended Mount Holyoke during the 1854-55 school year. We could find few records on her. She was teaching school in New Haven, CT, in 1886 and was listed as boarding there in the home of Eli Whitney Jr. in 1889. Around 1895, she was living with her brother William in Stamford, CT. By 1900 she had moved to Washington and was boarding in New Whatcom, which became Bellingham. She passed away there on January 9, 1915, and was laid to rest in the Bayview Cemetery.
