Brown, Johnstone, Eskdale, Brand  (Dumfriesshire,  Scotland)
Booth, Bruerton, Deakin, Wilkes, Kimberley
(Warwicks, Staffords)
Gaunt (Yorks)
Percy, Dunning, Hyne, Grigg, Farley (Devon, UK)
Duncan (Fife, Devon), Hugh, Blee (Cornwall)

Looking at other examples in the same dataset  I think this is most likely Jane Chester rather than Jean.

As Bookbox and Angie have suggested the middle letter is not an initial. It is her mark "X".
