Jane H. Jackson was born in Patterson, N.J., in 1829. She married Burroughs P. Brunner on 23 August 1854, and the couple subsequently moved to Charleston, S.C. Brunner appears to have died after a brief illness in October 1862. She was buried in the Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston.

The papers of Jane Jackson Brunner include several poems, genealogical records, and a letter, all apparently written by Brunner. Also included are a plan for her tombstone; several news clippings relating to marriages and deaths in the Brunner and Kingsland families; two photographs, one of a portrait of Jane Jackson Brunner and the other of Brunner's house in Charleston, S.C.; a certificate of marriage that appears to relate to Brunner's sister, Kate A. Jackson, and another relating to Brunner's father, Joseph Jackson; and an exchange of letters in 1993 between Carol Melton and Elizabeth Bennoitt about the details of Brunner's life.

Separated items include two photographs (P-4967) and one marriage certificate (OP-4967).
