Introductory Note

Effective April 30, 1997 for financial reporting purposes, Jefferson-Pilot
Corporation (JP Corp) acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Chubb Life Insurance Company of America (Chubb Life) from The Chubb
Corporation (Seller).  This Form 8-K/A-1 amends the Form 8-K previously
filed which reported the acquisition, to provide pro-forma financial
information.

The cost of the acquisition consisted of $775 million cash paid by JP Corp
to Seller, plus other acquisition costs.  In addition, Chubb Life paid a
$100 million special dividend to Seller which was funded through
liquidation of short-term investments.  The $775 million was financed
through liquidation of invested assets, the issuance of $150 million
Mandatorily Exchangeable Debt Securities ($75 million at 6.95% issued in
April 1997, and $75 million at 6.65% issued in June 1997), net proceeds of $297
from the issuance of 8.14% Capital Securities, Series A and 8.285% Capital
Securities, Series B (issued in January 1997 and March 1997, respectively),
and the issuance of commercial paper.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, there may be post closing adjustments
based on Closing Date Financial Statements to be provided by Chubb Life.
The pro-forma financial information contained herein does not reflect any
such adjustments.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

           Unaudited Pro-forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


The unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated financial statements are
based on the historical financial statements of JP Corp and Chubb
Life.  The unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated statements of
income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and for the year ended
December 31, 1996, present the consolidated operating results for
JP Corp as if the acquisition of Chubb Life had occurred on January
1, 1996.  The unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of March 31, 1997 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on
that date, consolidating the JP Corp March 31, 1997 balance sheet with the
Chubb Life April 30, 1997 balance sheet (which amounts are not significantly
different from the Chubb Life amounts as of March 31, 1997).

The acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  For purposes of the accompanying pro-forma financial
statements, the purchase price has been allocated to Chubb Life's tangible
and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on management's
preliminary estimate of their respective fair market values with the
difference allocated to cost in excess of net assets acquired.  The
allocation of the purchase price is subject to revision when any post closing
adjustments are known and when additional information concerning asset and
liability valuations is obtained.

The pro-forma financial statements do not purport to represent the results of
operations or financial positions of JP Corp had the acquisition occurred on
the dates indicated, or to project for any future period or date the results
of operations or financial position.  These pro-forma financial statements
do not reflect any potential savings that may result from the combined
operations of JP Corp and Chubb Life, or transition expenses associated
with integrating systems and processes.

The pro-forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
separate historical consolidated financial statements of JP Corp and
Chubb Life for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and the year ended
December 31, 1996, which have been previously filed.
