==Early life==
Born in New Rochelle, New York, she was the youngest daughter of ten siblings.〔(Emmet Family Tree )〕 Her great-great-uncle Robert Emmet was a notable Irish nationalist who was hanged in 1803 for high treason by the British court for his attempt to implement an Irish rebellion. Lydia Field Emmet's great-grandfather Thomas Addis Emmet, Robert's older brother, emigrated to the United States after Robert's execution. Thomas Addis Emmet would later become the New York State Attorney General. His daughter Elizabeth Emmet (b.1794), Jane's great-aunt, would study portraiture under the direction of a steamboat designer and portrait artist named Thomas Fulton.〔(''Time Magazine''.

Both her older sisters Rosina Emmet Sherwood (1854–1948) and Lydia Field Emmet (1866–1952) would also become successful artists, as well as their first cousin Ellen Emmet "Bay" Rand (1876–1941).〔(Messum's )〕 She is also the aunt of the prominent American playwright Robert Emmet Sherwood.
