I found the data for Jane, Rachel and Humphrey as well. It appears Humphrey was born the same year as James and Jane married. It raises the possibility that Humphrey and my Elijah could have been twins. It is noted that, according to James' likely baptism, his father was also named Humphrey:

I didn't find any baptismal information for the mother Jane, but I found two sets of parents who married at Saint Alkmund, Shrewsbury, Shropshire during the last decade or so of the 1700s. One was Joseph Wittall who married Elizabeth Jones in 1797 and the other was John Whittle who married Frances Jones in 1796. There was also a Timothy Whittal who married Ann Llewellin at Saint Julian in Shrewsbury and a Robert Whittall who married Margaret Roberts at Saint Chad, Shrewsbury in 1802. My family members have DNA connections on the right ancestral line to descendants of people with the surname Jones from Shropshire, with some from the Shrewsbury area being among the highest Jones matches from Shropshire. That begs the question which couple might be Jane's parents (if either). The fact she named a son Joseph with no John may be a clue. Anyway, I am going to call it a day on my updates as it is getting very speculative. Thanks to all for your interest, information and advice. It's been a big help.
