- She was probably named after her maternal grandmother, Jane Seymour, a daughter of Sir Edward Seymour, 5th Baronet.
Sir Richard Worsley, 7th Baronet, PC, FRS, FSA (13 February 1751 ? 8 August 1805), of Appuldurcombe House, Wroxall, Isle of Wight, was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1774 and 1801. He was a noted collector of antiquities.
Poor health prevented Worsley from taking part in defending the Isle of Wight against the Napoleonic invasion threat, but he carried on collecting until his death. He died of apoplexy on 8 August 1805 at Appuldurcombe House and was buried at the parish church at Godshill. Most of Worsley's collections went to Brocklesby Park.
