Jane Austen was born December 16, 1775, at Steventon Rectory in Hampshire England. Sources say she was born a month late to George Austen and Cassandra Austen (née Leigh). She was the youngest of seven children James (1765), George (1766), Edward (1767), Henry (1771), Cassandra (1773), Francis (1774), Jane (1775) and Charles John (1779). It's recorded that George suffered from seizures and was potentially blind and mute, so his parents put him into foster care.
