2. William Lane
Scott Co census: 1820 (121001-51010-04), 1830 (00103-00130001 Barbara,
head of household).
Russell Co Tax List: 1810 (1 Tith, 0 slaves, 1 horse)
Scott CoPersonal Property Tax List: 1815 (Hiram Kilgore Dist, 1
tithable, 0 slaves, 2horses, 7 cattle, near Dutton Lane and Benjamin
Lane), 1816 (George Wilcox Dist, as William Low, 1 tithable, 2 horses
- may not be William Lane?), 1817 (not present), 1818 (Isaac Lowe
Dist, 1 tithable, 0 slaves, 1 cattle, beside Benjamin Lane), 1819
(David Culbertson Dist, 1 tithable, 2 horses, beside Benjamin Lane and
Soloman Lane).
Scott Co Property Tax List: 1816 (Land valued at $50, no slaves), 1834
(for William Lane estate, 26 acres)
The family is speculated on the basis of the 1820 Scott Co census and
on the fact that Josephgave his parents as Wm. & Barbary when he was
married in 1861 to Mary Lane.All early family groups show a son
William for Corbin, but this is not thought to be correct. There is
substantial evidence that he was a son of Dutton Lane. The most
significant evidence was that he was near Dutton in the 1815 taxlist,
and that Soloman's oldest son was named Dutton. I had thought that he
might be the same William Lane as the one in Sullivan Co, TN, but the
appearance of "William Lane estate" on the 1834 Scott Co tax list
indicates that they were not the same.
Barbary, Jr was added simply because of her name. It islikely that
one of the Rebecca's married in 1834-5 was a daughter. Sarah andNancy
married in 1843-4 are also good candidates. The oldest son could be
Josiah, married in 1832. dwl 12/26/91.
On 9/3/1811, he bought 26 acres on Copper Creek from Saml Ewing,
attorney for Hugh McClung, for $26. (Russell Co, VA, Deed Book 4-429,
abstracted by Tom Colley) This land was inside the ThomasStrong tract
eventually purchased from the McClung heirs. (see below)
ScottCo Deed Book 7-86, 7 Oct 1842, from McClung execs to Thomas
Strong excepted 26A tract sold to Wm Lane 3 Sep 1814, said Strong
takes responsibality of a dispute about a 12A tract said to have been
sold by Oliver Hughs to Wm Lane insaid boundry. This land to Thomas
Strong was the tract including Strong Hollow and bordered Banjamin
Lane's land with Gillenwater Branch between them.
Scott Co Deed Book 2-357, William Lane bought 32-1/2 acres on Obeys
Creek in Scott Co from Hugh McClung on 13 Aug 1822 for $16.25. He sold
the same tract toJoshua Penley on 15 Jul 1826 (Scott Co Deed Book
3-261) for an unspecified amount; signed by William (his x mark) Lane
and Barbary (her x mark) Lane, butBarbary is not mentioned in the
text of the deed.
From Fannie Steele's book: William Lane bought 26 acres on Copper
Creek in 1811. In 1826, a William Lane was a member of the Church of
Christ in Russell Co and asked for rights tocelebrate the rites of
matrimony. A William Lane in 1812 married Catherine Vantermire.
The Hugh & Delila Ross family lived among the families of John W. &
Rebecca (Lane) Wampler, Anderson & Katherine (Lane) Kimbler, and
Samuel &Barbary (Lane) Davis in the 1850 and 1860 Wayne Co, VA/WV
census. Delila could be a Lane? Census data was as follows:
Wayne Co, VA/WV census: 1850 (#487, $400; Hugh A. Ross, age 40 VA;
wife Delila, age 36 VA; 10 ch present (Samuel 16 Ky, Hannah 15 Ky,
Rachel 14 Ky, Polly A. 12 Ky, John M. 10 Ky, Adam 8 Va, Robert 6 Va,
Daniel 4 Va, Hugh 3 Va, Delila 5/12 Va); incl Samuel Ross 69 Va),1860
(#1065, $1000/$375; Hugh Ross, age 48 VA; wife Delila, age 45 VA; 7 ch
present (John M. 20, Adam 18, Robert 15, Daniel 14, Hugh S. 12, Delila
J. 10, Elijah F. 8))
Her identity comes from Joseph's marriage in 1861 when he said his
parents were William & Barbary. She was in 1830 Scott Co census as
head of household, and lists children which are very similar to 1820
census.
Carson Williams hasa 1839 ledger (maybe general store) of James L.
Shoemaker with the followingLane accounts in it: James H. Lane,
Corbin Lane, Abram Lane, Jr., John S. Lane, Benjamin Lane, Abram Lane,
Sr., Squire Lane, Samuel W. Lane, Mrs. BarbaraLane.
A Barbara Lane was indicted and fined 50 cents for assault 12 Jun
1844. (This probably was the wife of Abraham Lane Jr instead of this
Barbara.)
There may be an older woman living with Samuel Davis & Barbary Lane
Davis in1840 Scott Co census - could be Barbara.

Loveall (21001-110001)
1840 (Adair #014)
He was in 1799 Lee Co, VA tax list - probably modern day Scott Co. -
with Jonathan Lovell, probably his father. (from Billye Snow).
A transcribedcopy of his will was sent via internet to me from Cookie
Carlson 2/20/1998, and she had received it from James Wm Lovell. He
had noted the parents of theg-children. Named heirs were Wm Cook
(Part property owner), Micager Loveall (son), Dutton Loveall (son),

The will was proven 8/25/1870.
Stephen Lovell signed a marriage bond for Daniel Godsey and Temperance
Lovell on 7/3/1818 in Scott Co, VA.
Wayne Co Census: 1830 (221101-000011, from Sandi Childers)
Sandi Childers found a marriage record that had Robertson Roberts, not
Robert Robinson as reported earlier by other, and also found the 1830
census entry. The marriage record did not have the bride's name, but
the bond was by Stephen Loveall.
Marriage Bond in Scott Co, VA dated 7/3/1818 and signed by Stephen
Lovell, thus assumed to be his daughter. She has not been mentioned in
other documents.
6. John W. Lane
MARRIAGE: Brugner, "Greene Co, Tenn Marriages 1783-1868" (Dutton Lane,
security)
Greene Co census: 1830 (#213, 0100001-0201001), 1840 (#56 w/o John,
0001-00011001)
Circumstantial evidence (age) suggests that he is the John Lane inthe
Greene Co 1930 Greene Co census #213 near Samuel Lane and Dutton Lane
(Jr), sons of Dutton Lane.
A John Lane was beside a John White in the 1805 Greene Co Tax List.
Ken Shirley noted that John White's will in 1829 did not namea
daughter Margaret/Peggy.
He is speculated as the father of Henry, Samuel,Nancy and Deborah.
(Deborah gave her parents as John & Margaret of Greene Cowhen she
married 2nd time in Scott Co.) Henry named the first two children
Margaret and John, and named the last son Dutton.
John W. Lane witnessed an agreement for Dutton Lane Jr 12/1/1819.
Washington Co, Tenn Deed Book 17-349.
A John Lane was beside a John White in the 1805 Greene Co Tax List.
Ken Shirley noted that John White's will in 1829 did not name a
daughter Margaret/Peggy. A reasonable speculation is that John White
was Margaret's father, but shedied before 1829, and probably before
1810 and probably did not have any surviving children.
A Margaret Lane was head of household in 1840 Greene Co census.
Family is in Greene Co censuses, 1850 (#885), 1860 (20th Dist
#847-610)
MARRIAGE: Brugner, "Greene Co, Tenn Marriages 1783-1868"
Greene Co Will (from Burgner, "Greene Co, Tn, Wills") dated 1 May
1850?, executed 5 May 1862. Wife Susan to have everything her
lifetime. Children, Jane Justis & Keziah Thompson to share equal at
Susan's death.
Dutton Lane and wife Nancy Thompson Lane were heirs of Ephraim
Brabson, half brother of Nancy. The estate amounted to $6-7,000. The
dates are uncertain, but it looks like the case was in 1822 but could
have ended as late as 1829?? The best guess is that the case started
in1827 and ended in 1829. When the case ended, Mrs Lane was in
Maryville. (Burgner, "Chancery Court Minutes, Greene Co, TN Nov
1825-Jan 1831," p. 19, 38).
Thus Dutton Jr may have gone to Maryville in the late 1820's, but was
back by 1830 in Greene Co census married to Susan Gass.
Dutton Lane and wife Nancy Thompson Lane signed a power of attorney
(with Peter Swatzel and Charity Thompson Swatzel, and Jane Thompson,
all of Greene Co) to William Thompson of Maryville, Tenn. It was to
recover their due from the estate of P. Ephraim Brabson decd.
Witnesses were Sam C. Milliken, John W. Lane, William Russel, and
Abraham Snider. (Washington Co, Tenn Deed Book 17-349)
Executor of husband Dutton's will. It was witnessed by George W. Gass
& Nancy
Gass.
44. Child Lane
From 1840 Greene Co census.
Benjamin Lane lived in the Obeys Creek area and owned a mill on a
feeder stream into Obeys Creek. His mill was in the valley between the
Lane Cemetery (Benjamin Lane Jr has a marked gravestone) on the Gate
City - Ft Blackmore Hwy and Strong Hollow on the south side of Copper
Ridge.
Many sources show a Benjamin Lane as son of both Corbin and Dutton,
both born in the same year. Circumstantial evidence leans strongly
toward Dutton being the father of BenjaminLane of Scott Co, VA, even
though much tradition says that Corbin Lane was his father.
"Lane Cemetery Located at Cove Gap, Wayne County, West Virginia,"
listing sent to DWL by Phyllis Ferguson, 10/2004. This listing for the
cemetery was written originally by Samuel C. Lane, and others were
added by other members of the family. Benjamin H. Lane shown with and
engraved marker, dates1887-after 1870, father of Samuel C. Lane. The
listing had a note that "13 graves unmarked was told they belong to
the Lane Family the death date range ofthese graves is 1887 to 1950.
Believed to be the children of Benjamin Lane,Samuel C. Lane and
Samuel Levi Jackson Lane. And previous wife's of the onesthat married
more than once. It is believed that Polly the first wife of Benjamin
is also buried there too."
He may be the Benjamin Lane who served in the War of 1812.
Strongest proofs of Benjamin's being a son of Dutton are: 1) Corbin
did not mention Benjamin in his will, 2) children's names (especially
Kisiah), 2) bought land from Dutton in 1828 which was inside the
larger tractpurchased by Benjamin from McClung in 1847, 3) lived
closer to Dutton's family than to Corbin's; did not seen to associate
with Abraham's and Samuel's families. 4) he was near Dutton Lane and
William Lane in the 1815 Scott Co Personal Property Tax List 4) He
lived on Obeys Creek where Dutton lived in 1820; Corbin lived at Red
Hill. 5) Benjamin was still in Greene Co near Dutton Lane in the 1809
tax list.
Brenda Esslinger said that she had seen a letter written by I. C.
Coley in which he said that he had talked with an old man whosaid
that Corbin Lane had two sons that were not named in his will. (These
would be William & Benjamin?)
His middle name Harris assumed (records give H.)because Benjamin
Harris Lane Jr had his middle name on Julia's widow pension
appkication.
Scott Co census': 1820 (121001-21010-04), 1830 (2002101-1230001), 1840
(1110000 - 01220001), 1850 (#1032, $1200, 4 ch present), 1860 (#1001,

(Dekalb #50, age 86; wife Mary D., age 83; incl Mahala Lane (Dockery),
age 18).
Greene Co, TN Tax List: 1809 (Capt Walter Clark's Dist - same district
as Dutton Lane). Benjamin Lane did not appear in Greene Co after 1809.
Scott Co Property Tax List: 1816 (Not listed!)
Scott Co Personal Property Tax Lists: 1815(Hiram Kilgore Dist, 1

besideWilliam Lane), 1819 (David Culbertson Dist, 1 tithable, 0
slaves, 2 horses,beside William Lane & Soloman Lane)
Carson Williams has a 1839 ledger (maybe general store) of James L.
Shoemaker with the following Lane accounts in it: James H. Lane,
Corbin Lane, Abram Lane, Jr., John S. Lane, Benjamin Lane, Abram Lane,
Sr., Squire Lane, Samuel W. Lane, Mrs. Barbara Lane.
In 1820 Scott Co census, Benjamin is shown as >45 yrs old which is
confusing. He also has 2males 10-16, 1 male 16-18 and 1 female 10-16.
This record shows Benjamin older than other records show. Maybe there
were two Benjamin Lanes?
The 1830 record has ages more like the record shown in these files.
Fannie Steele shows achild McHaley b. 1830. Does not appear in 1850
census.
He was indicted and and fined $1 for assault on 15 Mar 1826. (Scott Co
"Lane Cemetery Located at Cove Gap, Wayne County, West Virginia,"
listing sent to DWL by Phyllis Ferguson, 10/2004. Her name is recorded
as Mary McClellanLane, b. 1789, d. 1867, w/o Benjamin Lane. The date
of death is a puzzle because Mary D. Lane, age 83, was with Benjamin
Lane, age 86, in the 1870 ScottCo census. There is a note on the
cemetery listing: "It is believed that Polly the first wife of
Benjamin is also buried there also." There is no previousrecord
showing that Benjamin was married more than one time. I wonder if
Mary's death date was 1877 or 1887 and misread on the marker?
Added to family on basis of Cemetery Record for Lane Cem, GC#9.
9. Kezia Lane
Children Dutton and John as orphans were bound as apprentices to
William Hendry.
Moved to and lived in Scott Co, VA. Great-great-grandmother of Jim
Easley. (Information from Jim Easley, 9/29/1991.) Appears to be named
after her mother.
Kezia Hood was charged with adultery with William Russell in 1829-32
Greene Co Court Minutes. The case was dismissed. This info was used to
confirmthe marriage abt 1825/30 to William Russell. (from Jim Easley)
In 1830 GreeneCo census, there were two William Russell's. House 212
had Male 30-40, Females 10-15, 15-20, 30-40. House 167 had Males
(2)<5, 5-10, 30-40, Females <5, (2) 5-10, 10-15, 30-40. Jim Easley
thinks House 212 was William Russell and Kezia (Lane) Hood.
There was a William Russell (40-50) with one female (40-50) in the
1840 Sullivan Co (no children) census which fits the one in House 212.
Kezia (age 60) was in the 1850 Scott Co census (#26) with William
Russell (age 60). Not with William Russell in 1860. (He was age 65
with James Rhoton).
1850 Scott Co census (gives birth place as NC), 1860 Scott Co census
with James Rhoton.
Scott Co, VA, Personal Property Tax List: 1815 (Hiram Kilgore Dist, 1

My ancestor, Nathaniel HOOD, married in GreeneCo. TN in 1795. His
bondsman was a John HOOD, who was *not* Nathaniel's brother. His
brother was John Bain HOOD,who would have been too young to act as
bondsman. The bondsman John was probably a relative, but I don't know
howthey were connected. There was a John HERD on 1787 & 1788 Greene
Co. NC/TN tax lists and who bought land in 1790. I am looking into
the possibility thathe was actually a HOOD, but I have just started
this and haven't found out anything yet. If he was a HOOD, he could
have been the father of your John, aswell as a few "loose" Greene Co.
NC/TN HOODs (such as Mary HOOD who m. John BROWN in 1801 and Elizabeth
HOOD who m. Patrick NEIL in 1796). (query posted by Vickie Elam White,
<VEWhite@compuserve.com>, 1/2001)
A John COPELAND married Mary HOOD in 1806 in Jefferson Co. TN. Does
anyone know who these folkswere and what became of them? (query

10. Abraham Lane
Washington Co, TN 1814 Tax List in Capt Corcathers Co (with Samuel
Lane). Another Samuel Lane & Tidence Lane were also in this tax list.
Greene Co, TN marriages from Burgner, 'Greene Co, TN Marriages
1783-1868.' The marriage security was by William H. Vance.
1830 Washington Co, TN census (#244, 121001-010001).
All of these are speculated as being the same Abraham Lane. He is also
speculated as a son of Dutton because that is the only family he fits.
This Abraham Lane has not been found in any other census records.
On 3/18/1824 he purchased from Hugh Weir (Wear?) 100 acres lying on
both sides of Mill Creek, Washington Co, Tenn, for $500. (Washington
Co, Tenn, Deed Book 17-396).
From Greene Co Deed Book 25, p 487, 10/20/1849: John R. Lane and
Samuel D. Lane for $10 sold their share of their claim to inherit from
their grandfather Edward Ross, decd, and gave their father and mother
as Abraham and Mary Lane, decd, the immediate heirs of said estate.
Their share was a 1/9 share, indicating 9 children for Edward Ross.
The names of John R. Lane and Samuel D. Lane were not listed in the
body of the deed, but only shown by their signature. They were "the
undersigned of the State aforesaid." They apparently did not live in
Greene Co. It seems possible that there were more children still
living butwho could not be located.
62. John R. Lane
Name John R. Lane from deed, Greene Co Deed Book 25, p 487. (see note
for Abraham)
63. Hannah Lane
On 11/18/1843, she sold her share of her father Abraham's land to
Lemuel Carson. (Washington Co, Tenn, Deed Book 33-57.) The deed was
not finalized until11/21/1851 the same day as the settlement from
Samuel D. Lane.
11. Mary Lane
Greene Co, TN Marriage Records.
Greene Co census: 1830 (#213, 00001-20001)
There were F.W. & F.K. Davis in 1850 KY census.
There was no Fields Davis or similar name in 1850, 60 Scott Co census.
There are several children named Davisin various homes in 1850.
12. Catherine Lane
Scott Co Marriage Bonds. The bond was signed by Benjamin Lane (x
mark). Marriage date assumed to be same date as the bond.
Scott Co census: 1820, 1830. Notfound in Scott Co after 1830. There
is a woman age 60-70 living with them in1830 - could this be Kezia,
Catherine's mother?
He was on Scott Co tax lists 1815-1825 and in 1820-30 censuses. Land
taxes:
1821, 22, 23, 24 for 15 acres on Obeys Creek. 1825, 26, 27, 28 for 25
acres on Obeys Creek. 1829, 30 for 25 acres on Obeys Creek and 35.5
acres on Copper
Ridge. He was not on the Land Tax list after 1830.
Scott Co Census: 1820 (000010-10100), 1830 (0100001-102001001)
Deeds: On 2/8/1820 Henry Starnes bought 15 acres for $100 from George
& Mary Kimbler on Obey's Creek (note that Mary Kimbler was dau of
Samuel & Mary Susan (Lane) Estep and probably second cousinonce
removed of Catherine (Lane) Starnes.) In Dec 1826, Henry, David &
Frederick Starnes bought 200 acres from John & Elizabeth Osborne for
$3000, butdid not keep the land long. On 8/12/1828 Henry bought 35.25
acres on Copper Ridge for $150 from James & Sally Childress. On
9/16/1830 Henry & Caty Starnessold the 35.25 acre tract to Shad
Gibson for $100. On 10/5/1830 Henry & CatyStarnes sold the 15 acres
to Turner Branham for $100. (all from "A History of the Starnes
Family.")
The only Henry Starnes for the 1840 mid-West, Mid-Atlantic or Southern
States census indices was in Rockcastle Co, Ky. On checking the actual
census at ancestry.com, I found that this was Mary Starnes
(02-0020001).
Cannot find Henry or Catherine Starnes in the 1840 or 1850
ancestry.com census index. There was a James (age 53) and Catherine
Starnes (age 45) in the 1850 Ind census, both born in Va. Their 8 ch
were born in Ia.
Evidence that he moved to Ind was that Henry Starnes 20 Va was in 1850
Lawrence Co, Ark census. His wife was from Ind. Next door was Francis
Starns (F) 19 Indwith Roda 2 Ark, both with Solomon Duty family. It
appears that two of the sons married in Ind and moved to Ark. Need to
look for Henry & Catherine in Indin 1850.
