My Bradford line owned slaves and listed some of them in his will. There is no Jane listed, but maybe this info will help in your search:
Bird Booker Bradford, slave owner(b. abt 1764, N.Carolina, d.1833 Smith County, Tenn. He had children that moved to Kentucky, Kansas, and Louisiana. After the slaves were freed, a lot of them took the owners last name, name of the plantation, or the name of someone they looked up too. I have a list I am putting on line now. It is the list of slave owners with less than 10 slaves. I do not have the complete list but am sharing what I have. It can be found in Princess Anne County, Virginia Message Board.

Slaves listed: Lewis b. between 1700 and 1800, N. C. or Tenn.
Zelpha b. 1700-1800, N.C. or Tenn.
Nancy b. 1700-1800, N.C. or Tenn.
Children: Ned, Jinny, Yank, Willie, Jimmy
Jimmy (Woman Buck), b. 1700-1800, N.C. or Tenn.
Sam b. 1700-1800, N.C. or Tenn.
John b. 1700-1800, N.C. or Tenn.
Sally b. 1700-1800, N.C. or Tenn.
