JAMES HILL FITTS.

THIS Volume III of Lane Genealogies contains the last work
of Rev. J. H. Fitts. The body of the book was complete
and in the hands of the printer. Mr. Fitts, on finishing the copy
of an index, laid down his pen to go to the post office for his mail.
Returning, a near neighbor setting some rare hedge plants, asked
him to cross the street and see them. He handed the label with
the name of the plants to Mr. Fitts, who read it aloud, returned it
and at once fell forward lifeless, his face in the soft earth, Novem-
ember 22, 1900. The cause of his death was heart disease, of
which he had had some premonitions, but with no thought of such
a termination. The Preface, toward which Mr. Fitts left notes, has been pre
pared by Alfred Church Lane, A. M., Ph. D., F. G. S. A., of Lans
ing, Michigan. The Annals, etc., have been arranged and completed
by his brother, Lucius Page Lane, S. B., A. M., of Boston, who has
also completed tbe indexes, by the aid of Miss Ellen W. Lane, and
her sister, Elizabeth Nickerson (Lane) Church, of Maiden, Mass.
It remains for an old friend to add a notice of Mr. Fitts, especi
ally in relation to his genealogical work, as a fuller general mem
orial of him is in preparation.
Rev. James Hill Fitts was born in Candia, N. H., March 3,
1829, of John, the 7th generation from Robert Fitts, 1640, and
Abigail Lane, the 6th, from WiUiam Lane, of Boston, 1648.* He
attended Pembroke Academy and Merrimack Normal Institute, N.
H., and graduated at Bangor Theological Seminary, Me., 1858, and
was a member of Andover Theological Seminary, 1870-71. He
preached at Boxboro, Mass. ; was ordained at Candia, N. H.,
November 2, 1859; installed at West Boylston, Mass., September
3, 1862 ; Topsfield, Mass., June 22, 187 1 ; acting pastor at South
Newmarket, now Newfields, N. H., AprU 18, 1880, tiU his death.

iv Lane Genealogies.
January i, 1862, he married Mary C, daughter of C. M. and
Dolly (PiUsbury) French, who survives him. Before study at Ban
gor he taught in schools and academy in Maine and IMassachusetts,
served two terms of three months each on the Christian Commis
sion in the civil war, and was on school boards wherever he was
pastor. As one of the School Board, Mr. Fitts wrote the annual
reports, and the esteem felt for him was manifested by the attend
ance on his funeral at bis church in Newfields, of the schools as a
body, and their provision for his picture to be placed in the school
buUding. In 1895 Mr. Fitts represented the town in the state
legislature, and was influential in changing its name from South
Newmarket to Newfields, the early designation of the southerly
portion of the town of Newmarket a century or more before its
division. This change was influenced by a legacy of ;? 10,000 from
Hon. John M. Brodhead, son of Rev. John Brodhead, to the town
for a library on condition of such change. Mr. Fitts was a trustee
of this fund. He was a member of the New England Historic-
Genealogical and the New Hampshire Historical Societies, and of
several missionary societies, and for thirteen years was scribe of the
Piscataqua Association of Congregational and Presbyterian ministers.
A writer of various historical and commemorative discourses, and
an indefatigable investigator and successful collector of the facts of
local history, perhaps no one man ever knew so much of the local
history of south-eastern New Hampshire and contiguous parts of
Massachusetts and Maine as did Mr. Fitts. It is hoped that the -
mass of manuscript information he left may be given to the public
or preserved for future use. In the course of his researches he
took genealogical notes of the Hilton, Wiggin and other historical
famihes of south-eastern New Hampshire, which are esteemed of
great value by some of their descendants and kindred.
His first formal work in this line he pubUshed in 1869, the
"Genealogy of the Fitts or Fitz Faraily in Araerica," 91 pages.
His later and larger efforts have been for the Lane families of his
mother's name. He aided Rev. Jacob Chapman materially in the
preparation of Vol I, and Mr. Chapman did what he could to aid
and encourage Mr. Fitts in compiling the succeeding volumes of
Lane Genealogies.

James Hill Fhts. v
These works were doubtless stimulated and their publication en
couraged by the prevalent popularity of genealogical research, but
the immediate cause of Vol, I, and so of the rest, was a suggestion
by Mr. Fitts toward organization.
The occasion of that suggestion was in the old church yard at
Stratham, N. H., where are the graves of Dea. Samuel Lane, the
eldest child of Dea. Joshua, of Hampton, and representatives of five
generations of his descendants. When Jabez, the youngest son of
Dea, Samuel, had set the stones at the graves of his parents, he took
his children there and charged them to keep those stones erect as
long as they should Uve. His son Charles told his son, John WiUiam,
of this, who took it as an injunction to do likewise, and was im
pelled to search for the older graves of the faraily at Hampton and
perhaps Boston. No clew could be found for the graves of the first
William and wives, probably in Boston, But search in Hampton
among the bushes of the old "graveyard" revealed afoot-stone
inscribed " Dea. Joshua Lane." Proceeding through the bushes
the headstone was found erect, but tbe headstone of his wife,
Bathsbeba, was broken and lying on the ground. Dea. Dow, the
historian of Hampton, was the only one found who could have told
where those graves were. John W. took his father, Charles, when
past eighty, to see for the first time, the graves of his great grand
parents, and they temporarily reset the head stones, both thrown
flat on tbe ground, it was said, by cattle running in the yard. The
idea of a more permanent memorial was suggested, but how to
interest descendants was a question. After discouraging efforts and
considerable correspondence, beginning in 1876, Mr. Fitts was
consulted, who wrote, March 16, 1885 : "I think the matter of a
Lane monument has been talked of in a general way about long
enough. Get specifications of monument with inscriptions as a
basis of work. A meeting of the family at Hampton, whether a
dozen or a hundred attend, will give it something of a business
character. You have made an heroic beginning. Go ahead ! "
Further search in the old ground had shown some initial head
stones near Dea. Joshua's grave. The one next north was imbedded
in the grown roots of a pine tree some eighteen inches in diameter,
letters inward. The second stone bore the initials, " W. L." In a

vi Lane Genealogies.
diary of Dea. Joshua, was found for 6th January, 1745, "My
honored and dear mother died," and for 14th February, 1747,
"My honored father died at my house, aged above ninety." It
was thought if on the broken stone in the pine tree should be
found the initials, " S, L.," these graves next his own must be of
the parents of Dea. Joshua : William, son of William, of Boston,
and Sarah (Webster), his wife. A petition to the selectmen of
Hampton resulted in an article in the warrant and a vote of the
town, March 10, 1885, permitting the tree to be taken out and a
monument erected. The tree was dug out ; the fragments of stone
carefully removed and placed together showed the desired " S, L."
To this, in part, Mr. Fitts referred as " an heroic beginning." The
meeting he suggested was called at the Town Hall, in Hampton,
August 18, 1885. Organization was effected and committees were
chosen as suggested by Mr. Fitts. Plans were made to raise funds
for the monument. ReUcs of the family were shown, including tbe
broken initial stone, with its " S. L.," tbe family tree of Dea. Joshua,
and an original copy of the " Tear of Lamentation," read at Dea.
Joshua's funeral, by his son Jeremiah, once owned by his daughter
AbigaU. By the generosity of Dr. J. W. White, of Nashua, N. H.,
it was voted that this address be reprinted and a copy given to
every contributor of Ji or raore to the monument fund. The sons
of Rev. Jas. P. Lane did the printing, as they did of tbe address
of their father, given September i, 1886, when Gov. Frederick
Smyth was present, by whose generosity this address was also given
to contributors of ^i or more to the monument fund. Thus dona
tions came from Maine to Georgia and California, and one each
from England and the Sandwich Islands.
George W. Lane, of Salem, was treasurer of this fund, and
reported ;i!479 received, and ^60.22 allowed by him as interest

ite cost ^397.52 ; plan, lettering, labor, posts, markers and found
ation, cost ^101.70, leaving ^40 unexpended. It was not ready
for dedication, as expected, at the 2Soth anniversary of Hampton,
to which the Lane meeting came on the invitation of the town.
It was hoped there would be ^100 for the town of Hampton,
whose annual interest should pay for the care of the lot, but it was

voted to apply this surplus toward completing and printing the
Lane Genealogy, begun by Dea. E. J. Lane, of Dover, N. H., in
1839, and continued by Rev. James P. Lane, tiU his death January
6, 1889. At the fifth annual meeting for the dedication of the
monument, August 14, 1889, Mr. Fitts made the principal address.
He was chosen with George W. Lane, of Salem, Mass., Dr. E. B.
Lane, of Boston, and Rev. John W. Lane as a committee to see to
the completion and printing of the genealogy, which comraittee
also became respoiisible for its cost. Rev. Jacob Chapman, of
Exeter, N. H., undertook tbe work, as is recorded in his Preface to
Volume I.
Rev. Mr. Chapman, Mr. Fitts, J. P. and J. W. Lane deliberated
long in mutual correspondence on the simplest, most comprehen
sive and best form for inscriptions on the monument, especiaUy tbe
general one on the south end. All agreed on this, toward which J .
P. Lane had the last word :

My first acquaintance with Mr. Fitts was as a fellow student at
Merrimack Normal Institute, N. H., in 1850, when neither of us
knew that we were of tbe seventh generation from William Lane,
of Boston, 1648, This friendship matured on Mr. Fitts' coming,
in part by my influence, to my native Newfields, since which we
have been in frequent correspondence. It has been a source of
satisfaction to aid and encourage Mr. Fitts in his unselfish efforts to
introduce our relatives and kindred to each other, but for aU I
could do I have felt in debt to him. I miss him as a brother be
loved. In my gratitude for his Ufe, many whose records are in
these volumes will share.
And when we think of the Christian integrity he so fondly traced
in our progenitors, I am confident we shall agree that he might
have used the language of the Hampton monument and dedi
cated this book To THE Memory of a Worthy Ancestry,

PREFACE.

THE first two volumes of Lane genealogies brought together
accounts of the descendants of nine of the name who
reached the New World in colonial times. As Rev. James PUls-
bury Lane has remarked, there were over a dozen of them, and it has
seemed wise to close this, the third, volume with Rev, Mr, Fitts'
account of three more, who were of the same English stock, leav
ing to some other hands the task of building into further volumes
the mass of notes which Mr, Fitts had accuraulated regarding other
Lanes ; in particular, the families of Sampson Lane, of Portsmouth,
N. H., 1646, and his kinsman, Ambrose; James Lane, of Bos
ton, 1662; Neheraiah Lane of Lunenburg, Mass., 1728; John
Layne, of Lee, N. H., 1760; Alexander Lane, of Fishkill-on-the-
Hudson, N, Y., about 1700 ; Matthias Lane, of Bedminster, N. J,,
1721 ; Ebenezer Lane, of Western Virginia, 1770; Amos Lane, of
Lawrenceburgh, Indiana, 1808, father of Gen, James Henry Lane,
of Kansas; James Asa Lane (of Ohio?), 1 781 ; and tbe Lane famUy
of Bristol, Maine, 1836; and that of colonial Virginia and North
Carolina, connected according to tradition with Sir Ralph Lane,
Knight, Governor of Virginia, 1585, including EUiot T. Lane, of
Mercersburg, father of Miss Harriet Lane, of the White House ;
James Hardage Lane, grandfather of Gov, Henry Smith Lane, of
Indiana, and Joseph Lane, of Halifax, N, C, 1727, father of Col.
Joel Lane, the pioneer, and grandfather of Gen. Joseph Lane,
Governor of Oregon ; as well as additional material relative to
famiUes included in Volumes I and II ; that is, those of WiUiam
Lane, of Boston, Mass,, 1648; WiUiara Lane, of Dorchester, Mass.,
163s; Robert Lane, of Stratford, Conn., 1660; and Cornelius
Lane, of Middletown, Conn., 1744, Somerset county, N. J,, 175-.
and Albany, N. Y.
It is far frora safe, in the case of so common a name, to assume
that all Lanes are of the same family, or that because one Lane,

whose name was inscribed on the roll of Battell Abbey, came over
with William the Conqueror, any of the American Lanes wind their
way back in continuance to that one, still represented among the
gentry of England. It is quite possible, however, that if the name
Lane sometimes was a local designation, applied to a man who
lived in a lane, e. g. : John at the lane, the existence of the name
as a surname already may have aided in the assumption of the
shorter form. It is quite Ukely also that in some cases the Gaelic
Maclean has been shortened to Lean. One case of this has faUen
under my own observation. The change of speUing from Lean to
Lane would then be an easy matter, especially in times when as
Mr. Fitts remarks, " in early records the name is variously spelled
Lane, Laine, Layne, Lean, and the name with the prefix Mac or
Mc has the same variety of forra." Rev. James P. Lane mentions
the possible derivation of name from the French laine, the word
for wool, and suggests that French Huguenots, wool growers or
workers, may have assuraed the name. The name of Reyner, Job
Lane's father-in-law, is certainly French, and there were Huguenot
settlers in this part of England, so that Rev. Mr. Lane may be
right. But in default of definite documents we have to admit that
kinship among Lanes is a matter of conjecture, and that the path
of the genealogist is appropriately enough strait and narrow. Yet
we have been enabled by wills, with the indispensable help of my
friend, J. W. Evans, LL. B., Sc. D., F. G. S., to locate definitely
the English home of the Lanes included in this volume (owing to
the fact that their family so long retained an interest in property
in England,)* as in Rickmansworth, almost a suburb of London.
It seems therefore fit that they should hav.e a volume to themselves.
Some have questioned the use of these genealogies and the wis
dom of the taste for them which has of late increased so greatly in
America. But it has never been thought unworthy the dignity of
the historian to trace the genealogies of reigning families, and each
of these family genealogies may be considered as a contribution to
that of the American sovereign. He who reverences the Bible
cannot despise them as useless, for he must own that many of them
are preserved therein. Nor can the evolutionist consistently main-
*Page 33,

Preface. xi
tain that the more recent boughs of the family tree are less worthy
of study than the earlier. Moreover in such books the historian
finds many little incidents which are precious as showing what the
average man was doing and feeling. It was a bright idea of Rev.
Mr. Fitts to cull from his pages such facts and group them together
as Annals, and excepting indexes, etc., this is practically the only
part of tbe present volume which he had not completed. It has
been prepared from his rough manuscript notes by my brother,
Lucius P. Lane.
References in the text or in his manuscript show that Mr. Fitts
had examined records and histories and other publications relating
to the towns of Bedford, Billerica, Boston, Gloucester, Maiden and
Salem, Mass., Charlestown, N. H., and Woodstock, Maine, and the
Massachusetts counties of Middlesex, Worcester, and Suffolk, as
well as the Massachusetts and General Court records and archives,
Winthrop's Journal, Sewall's Diary, pubUcations of the Society of
Colonial Wars, the genealogical works of Bond, and Farmer and
Moore, and the Avery genealogy. From Mr. Fitts' notes he had
evidently intended, in addition to previous acknowledgements, to
express his thanks for help in preparing this volume to the late
WiUiam H. Whitmore, Esq., whose "Lane Family Papers" ap
peared in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register,
to Samuel Richards, Esq., of Maine, who contributed " Notes of
James Lane," in Old Times, October, 1883, and to Miss Charlotte
Augusta Lane, of Gloucester, Mass., Samuel Freeman Lane, Esq.,
of Pennsylvania, Miss Herreshoff, of Rhode Island, and Miss Alice
G. Lane, and Mr. Thos. E. Libby, of Vinalhaven, Maine.

NOTE.

THE long delay in the pubUcation of this volume is in part due
to the fact that, while we were working over the preliminary
and complementary pages, knowledge was brought to us of the ex
istence in England of additional wiUs, which furnish information
of the Lane ancestry of the faraUies included in this volume, going
back three more generations to 1542. Believing that there is suf
ficient of interest in them to justify it, I have procured copies,
whicb wiU be found in their proper places in the Postscript prefixed
to Part I. For our knowledge of the existence and location of
these wills, all of which were filed in the Archdeacon's Court of St.
Albans, and for any information included in the Postscript not
gleaned from them, we are indebted to the courtesy of Mrs. Mary
W. (Lane) Poor, of Hackensack, N. J., for whom these items were
procured by the researches of a professional genealogist of London,
whom she independently employed.
Both Mrs. Fitts and I have received requests for the insertion of
additional information as to some of the famiUes included in the
volume. Since pages 1-3 91 were aU printed, in sufficient number
for the edition, before Mr. Fitts' death, the only way in which such
items could be added would be to put them on separate pages at
one end of the volume, as " Addenda." As this is not a very sat
isfactory method, and moreover, to set a limit to the date up to
which additions would be received would be perplexing, it has been
decided not to attempt at all to bring the information to a later
date than that reached at the time of Mr. Fitts' death. In Ueu
thereof some blank leaves of writing paper will be bound in at the
end, and upon these may be completed and kept the particular
family record of each possessor of a copy of the volume.

The Place of the Yeoman in English Society
in the Sixteenth Century.

THESE wiUs show that our ancestors were yeomen. As an ex
planation of the term as used in the England of that time,
the following quotation from the treatise of Sir Thomas Sraith,
15 13—1577, De Republica Anglorum, first published at London in
1583, afterwards re-pubUshed under the title: The Common
Wealth of England, is contemporary evidence, clear and conclu
sive. Sidney Lee's Dictionary of National Biography says of
Smith's work : " It is the most important description of the con
stitution and government of England written in the Tudor age."
I quote from the edition of 1584, pages 29-32 :
OF YEOMEN.
chap, 23.
Those whom we call yeomen next unto the nobilitie. Knights and Squires,
haue the greatest .charge and doings in the common wealth, or rather are more
trauailed to serue in it than all the rest : as shall appeare hereafter, I call him
a yeoman whom our Lawes doe call Legalem hominem, a worde familiar in
writtes and enquestes, which is a freeman borne English, and may dispend of
his owne free lande in yerely reuenue to the summe of xl. a. sterling ,
This sort of people confesse themselues to be no gentlemen, but giue the
honour to al which be or take upon them to be gentlemen, and yet they have
a certaine preheminence and more estimation than laborers and artificers, and
commonly Hue wealthily, keepe good houses, & do their businesse, & trauaile
to acquire riches: these be (for the most part) termors unto gentlemen, which
with grasing, frequenting of markettes, and keeping seruaunts not idle as the
gentleman doth, but such as get both their owne lining and parte of their
maisters : by these meanes do come to such wealth, that they are able and
daily doe buy the landes of unthriftie gentlemen, and after setting their sonnes
to the schoole at the Uniuersities, to the lawe of the Realm, or otherwise
leauing them sufficient landes whereon they may Hue without labour, doe make

their saide sonnes by these meanes gentlemen. These be not called masters,
for that (as I saide) pertaineth to gentlemen onely : But to their surnames, men
adde goodman ... I meane not in matters of importance or in lawe. But
in matters of Lawe and for distinction, if one were a knight they would write
him (for example sake) Sir lohn Finch Knight, so if he be an Esquier, lohn
Finch, Esquier or Gentleman, if he be no Gentleman, lohn Finch yeoman.
. . . So amongest the husbandmen labourers, lowest and rascall sort of the
people such as be exempted out of the nuraber of the rascabilitie of the popu
lar be called and written yeomen, as in the degree next unto gentlemen.
These are they which olde Cato calleth Aratores and opiimos cives in Re
publica : and such as of whom the writers of common wealths praise to have
manie in it 
When they are foorth they fight for their Lordes of whora they hold their
landes, for their wiues and children, for their countrey and nation, for praise
and honour, against they come home , , . These are they which in the
old world gat that honour to Englande, not that either for witte, conduction,
or for power they are or were euer to be compared to the gentleraen, but
because they be so manie in nuraber, so obedient at the Lordes call, so strong
of bodie, so harde to. endure paine, so couragious to aduenture with their
Lorde or Captaine going with, or before them, for else they be not hastie nor
neuer were as making no profession of knowledge of warre. These were the
good archers in times past, and the stable troupe of footemen that affraide all
France, that would rather die all, than once abandon the knight or gentleman
their captaine, who at those daies commonly was their Lorde, and whose
tenauntes they were . . . And this they haue amongest thera frora their
forefathers tolde one to an other. The gentlemen of Fraunce and the yeomen
of England are renowned, because in battle of horsemen Fraunce was raany
times too good for us, as we againe alway for them on foote. And Gentlemen
for the most part be men at armes and horsemen, and yeoraen commonlie on
foote : howsoeuer it was, yet the gentlemen had alwaies the conduction of the
yeomen . . . and the Kinges of Englande in foughten battles reraaining
alwaies among the footemen, as the Frenche Kings among their horsemen.
Eche Prince therby as a man may gesse, did shew where he thought his
strength did consist 

PART I.
Lane Family in Rickmansworth, England,
AND VICINITY.

The frontispiece is a picture of the old Lane farm house at Shep
herds, MiU- End, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, England. It was
tbe home of EngUsh Lanes for at least a hundred years, including
John Lane (1620-1706?), own cousin and correspondent of Job
Lane, who came to America about 1635 according to the family
tradition. From the style of construction the house seems to have
been buUt about the last of the 1 6 th or early in the 17 th century, and
I think it is safe to assume that it is the identical building which was
occupied by the English John Lane above mentioned, as we know
that he was "of Shepherds" and that the house was occupied by his
descendants some generations later. The house passed out of the
possession of people of the Lane name, by reason of there being
no male descendants, about the middle of the last century, and out
of the possession of any of the Lane blood, early in the present
century, about 1820, as near as I can find out. The house is no
longer used as the residence of the occupier of the farm, but as the
bailiff's house, the bailiff being a sort of overseer or foreman. — Z.
P. Lane.

I.
JAMES LANE, Senior, yeoman, perhaps of Rickmansworth
in the county of Hertford, England, was tbe father of Job, James
and Edward Lane, of Maiden, Mass., about 1650. (Was the

2 Lane Famtl\' in Rickmansworth, England,
name of his wife Katherine? "Will of Rich'^ Russel of the county
of Hereford, the elder, gent,, i6 Aug, 1627, proved 10 June 1628 :
To Mr, James Lane and wife Katherine Lane, etc."') Mr, Lane
had four sons and died possessed of landed estate before 1654.
John, the eldest son, remained in England, He received joint
inheritance with his brother James, in the parental estates prior to
1654, and perhaps was the kinsman and executor mentioned in
John Lane's wiU of 1661. Other sons of James Lane, Senior, were
Job, James and Edward who all settled in the vicinity of Boston,
Mass. A letter from Jeremiah Gould, dated at London, 6 June
1654, and directed to his "Kind Friend Job Lane" in Mass.,
shows that James Lane, Senior, and wife had surrendered an estate
to their sons James and John and their heirs. The father and
mother died in debt, "a good sum," and the son James paid it.
James Lane, Senior, had five brothers of whom we have some
knowledge.

II.
HENRY LANE a brother of James Lane, Senior, and probably
died without issue. The letter of Jeremiah Gould to Job Lane,
1654, says: "Your uncle Henry Lane is dead; there is 19 acres
of poor land fallen unto his heir, and there is a scruple made
whether you be he or no, because you have an elder brother and not
known to be dead." — N. E. Gen. Reg., 44: jgy.

III.
JOHN LANE was a brother of James Lane, Senior, and was
mentioned in their brother Jeremie's will, 1646, Jeremiah Gould
writes to Job Lane, in 1653 or '4 : "I made a journey -unto your
uncle John Lane within this 8 days and must meet him on Satur
day at Rickmansworth." The wiU of John Lane of Rickmans
worth in the county of Hertford is dated 7 Aug,, 1661, and gives
much family history. The wiU provides for "Herriotte" payable at

his death to the lord of the manor of Rickmansworth. It be
queaths "to Rebecca Baker my daughter fiiue pounds of good and
lawfuU money of England." It leaves legacies to ten other persons
in sums varying from ten to thirty pounds. It gives "to the poore
people of Rickmansworth ffifty shUlings to be distributed amongst
them where most need is ;" also "Three Hundred of Spray ffagotts
To the poore people of Millend to be delivered to them thensueing
Winter and continually for one and Twenty years." The residuary
legatee and executor of the will was "my kinsman John Lane,"
He seems without male issue. His daughter Rebecca m. 
Baker. will of JOHN lane,

SYMON LANE, a brother of James Lane, Senior, died prior to
the signing of John Lane's wiU, 1661. His son Thomas Lane re
ceived by John Lane's wiU fifteen pounds, to go in case of his
decease to his wife, and if she die to his children. Was this the
Thomas Lane who was warned by the selectmen of Dorchester,
Mass., in 1635, to remove to Watertown?

V.
GEORGE LANE, a brother of James Lane, Senior, was living
in 1654. He was mentioned in a letter from John Lane to his
cousin Job Lane, 3 Mar., 1678, as having conveyed estate to his
brother John Lane whose daughter Rebecca Baker surrendered it
to the lord of the manor of Rickmansworth.
George Lane probably had son Richard Lane, who m. first, 
Joyce; second, 1664, Hester WiUiamson and died 1704; his
children: i. George, died 1656. 2. Mary, and 3, Rebeckah.

Job Lane of Maiden and Billerica, Mass.,

AND DESCENDANTS.

1.
JOB LANE' (James), 1620-1697, was born in England about
1620, and owned lands in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, about
eighteen mUes from London, His uncle  Boyse by marriage,
feU April, 1643, in the sea-croft or club-fight between the King's
forces and the Parliamentary army under Lord Fairfax. The tra
dition that Job Lane came to America in 1635, when only 15 yrs.
old, is not authenticated.
Job Lane was distinguished as "master-carpenter," "house-
wright," "artificer" and "bridge-buUder," He first appears at
Sekonk, Mass,, in 1643, where he was estimated worth fifty pounds
for the purpose of receiving subsequent grants of land, and where
he joined the Sekonk Combination, 3d 5 mo, 1644. He was at
Rehoboth, Mass,, 9th 4 mo. 1645, and drew lot No, 28, He was
of Dorchester, Mass,, and returned to England and was married
there in 1647.
"A full manifestation of Thomas Howell's desire on his death
bed," June 6, 1647, his property to be divided between his wife
and chUdren, names "Job Lane his kinsman now in England" ex
ecutor. "The coppie of Job Lane's refusall to accept of the
executorship of Thomas Howell's last will and testa™' directed to
the gov'^nor, Oct. 19, 1647," shows him to be a carpenter of Dor
chester, Mass. Thomas HoweU was of Marshfield. Inventory,
May 31, 1648; amount _;£3 8, 2s.
Job Lane settled in Maiden, Mass., near the time of its incor
poration. May 2, 1649. "In answer to the petition of seuU inhabi-

Family One. 9
tants of Mistick Side, their request is granted viz. to be a district
town of themselves, and the name thereoff to be Maulden." — Gen.
Court Record.
A curious entry in the Mass. Bay Colony Records has reference
to a Negro servant Eneroe who, having been set free by his former
master Clement, had bound himself to Mr. Lane, May 28, 1651,
for nine years. Again May 18, 1653, "In ans' to the petition of
Job Lane in behalf of Ebedmeleck his servant for the remittment
of the rigor of the lawe &c. the Court judgeth it mete that the
sayd Ebedmeleck, for his stealing vitualls and breaking open a
window on the Lord's day, shaU the next lecture day be whipt five
stripes." — Mass. Records, 3 : 306 and 4 : 13/.
A fragmentary correspondence between Job Lane and the cus
todians of the English estates is among the interesting papers
treasured in the famUy at Bedford, Mass. Letters from Jeremiah
Gould, dated at London in 1653 and 1654, to his "Loving Friend
Job Lane," contain much family history. He writes June 6, 1654,
"You wonder that your Brother James should delude me to make
away your estate, and withal wished me not to surrender the
premises to him .... Your uncle assured me that the annuity
belonged not to you but to your brother Edward if he were alive,
etc." Among Job Lane's other correspondents in England were
Mr. Smith of Gildersome, Yorkshire, to whom he wrote Aug. 13,
1670 ; John Harwood, his attorney, from whom he received letters
dated Feb. 18, 1665, Mar. 14, 167 1-2, Feb. 6, 1677, and May 6,
1677 ; Marmaduke Reyner, bis wife's uncle, who wrote May 17,
1676; John Dickenson of Gildersome, his friend and agent, to
whom he wrote Aug. 13, 1670, Oct. 23, 1678, June 19, 1695, and
from whom he received letters dated Mar. 6, 1670, Feb. 20, 1673,
Apr. 29, 1675, Feb. 6, 1677, Oct. 23, 1678, Apr. i, 1679, Apr.
16, 1695 and Nov. 3, 1696. He received a letter from his cousin
John Lane, dated Mar. 3, 1678, questioning "whether the heathen
have yet been subdued or not," who also adds, "I have been
several times with the lord of the manor to search the court rolls,
. . . and he told me that he cannot find the surrender that my
uncle George Lane made to my uncle John Lane . , . , You
desire to know how my cousin Baker has disposed of the estate.

and I so understand she did surrender it into the hands of the
Lord of the manor, and then did take it up for her own life to one
Matthew Baker kinsman of WUUam Baker, and I think the land is
past recovery." John Dickenson, Jr., wrote him in 1677, respect
ing "Nonconformity in England," and affirmed May, 1679, that
"the Gospel is promulgated." — Lane Family Papers, by Williatn
H. Whitmore, Gen. Reg., XI and XVIL
Records show that Job Lane's "forfieture was abated and fine
remitted," May 23 and Nov, 13, 1655 ; he was made freeman May
14, 1656; bought land in Maiden of Nicholas Parker Sept. 22,
1656; was attorney to collect five pounds for WiUiam WUkins of
Chesham, Buck's county, England, Apr, 6, 1658; was mentioned
in the inventory of George Mumings, 17th 7 mo,, 1658. He con
tracted with the selectmen of Maiden, Nov. 11, 1658, "to erect
and finish upp a good strong Artificial meeting house, to be com
pleted before 20 Sept. next ensuing,"
Contract for the erection of the first Meeting house in Maiden.

1-2 Job Lane .«d Descendants,
In 1682 the parish of Maiden voted "that the meeting house be
repaired to keep out the weather and to save the siUs from rotting."
It was in possession of a church beU at this time which was placed
upon Bell Rock, an elevated ledge near which the meeting bouse
stood and which stiU bears the old name.
Job Lane purchased five acres of land in Maiden from Michael
Smith, the last day of the nth mo. 1659, contracted to build a
bridge over Concord river to be completed before the close of the
year 1659, "with abutments at each end suitable for the passing
over with carts," and engaged to raise the frame of a house for
Thomas Robinson of Scituate, Aug. 25, 1660.
He was appointed attorney for his brother James Lane of
Maiden, turner, Nov, 19, 1660, He received from his uncle John
Lane's wiU, Aug, 7, 1661, thirty pounds : "and if my kinsman Job
dye before his Lagacie shall become due. Then the Thirty pounds
Legacie shall be paid to his wife ; if shee dye, then to his chUdren,"
Petition, 7th 4th mo,, 1662, signed Job Lane among nine in
habitants of Maiden for the rest : "Our most humble Petic'on to
this much honoured Court is ; That a Tract of lands of About
fower Miles Square at A place CaUed Pennycooke may be Granted
As A Addic'on to us, for our better Support And Incouragement in
the Service of Christ & the Countrie,
The Deputyes thinke not meete to grant this pet.
William Torrey, Cleric."
— Mass. Archives, 112 .- 14"/.
Job Lane had paid the remainder of a bill to Christian Hooper,
Jan, 15, 1662-3, Eind with Theodore Atkinson, forger, he agreed to
build a draw-bridge, Mar. 6, 1662-3.
Job Lane removed, about 1664, from Maiden to the Indian
Shawshine, a part of ancient Cambridge tiU incorporated BiUerica,
May 29, 165s, and Bedford since Sept. 23, 1729. Here his de
scendants became among the most numerous and influential
famiUes of BiUerica and Bedford, Mass.
The Massachusetts Bay Company, under John Winthrop, gov
ernor, and Thomas Dudley, deputy governor, left England in April,
1629, landed at Salem in June, 1629, removed to Charlestown in

Family One. 13
July, 1629, and settled in Boston, Sept. 17, 1630, and in Newtowne
1 63 1. Gov. Winthrop returned to Boston and reproved his deputy
in 1632, "that he did not weU to bestow so much cost about wains-
cotting and adorning his house in the beginning of a plantation,
both in regard of the public charges and for example." The re
moval of the governor's extremely rude frame house from Newtowne
to Boston was the cause of a misunderstanding between the gov
ernor and the deputy, but matters were accommodated to the
content of both parties, Sept. 4, 1632. The Colonial General
Court, Nov. 2, 1637, granted Winthrop and Dudley one thousand
acres of land each, as a gratuity for valuable services in laying tbe
foundation of the Colony.
We have Gov. Winthrop's graphic account of the location of
these outlying farms. The two eminent men came together from
Boston by way of Concord to Shawshine and fixed on the right
bank of Concord river their respective claims.
January, 1637-8. "Going down the river about four miles, they made choice
of a place for one thousand acres for each of them. They offered each other
the first choice, but because the deputy's was first granted and hiraself had
store of land already the governor yielded hira the choice. So at the place
where the deputy's land was to begin, there were two great stones which they
called the Two Brothers, in reraerabrance that they were brothers by their
children's marriage and did so brotherly agree, and for that a Httle creek near
those stones was to part their lands." — Winthrop's Journal, Apr, 24, 1638.
The General Court enlarged the grant to the governor by an
additional two hundred acres. May 2, 1638, and still later, June 6,
1639, added sixty acres at the "great meadows."
May 2, 1638. "It was ordered by the prsent Court that John Winthrop
Esqr. the prsent governor shall haye 1200 acres of land whereof 1000 acres was
formerly graunted hira; & Thomas Dudley Esqr, the Deputy governor has
1000 acres granted hira by a former court, both of them about 6 railes from
Concord northwards; the said governor to have his 1200 acres on the southerly
side of two great stones standing neare together close by the ryvers side that
comes from Concord,"
Mr. Dudley's farm was also increased to fifteen hundred acres
and was sold by him, Feb. 28, 1651-2, for ^iio.
Gov. John Winthrop' of Mass. died Mar. 26, 1649, at 63 years.
His son John Winthrop, Jr.*, settled first at Ipswich, Mass., in 1633,

14 Job L.^ne and Descendants.
but was made governor of Saybrook plantation, Conn., in 1635.
He founded New London in 1645 and became governor of Conn,
in 1657, His son Fitz John Winthrop^ sold the entire Winthrop
grant to Job Lane, Aug, 2, 1664, for 230 pounds current money in
New England, Mr. Lane paid for the estate by building Mr.
Winthrop a mansion house and barn at New London, He was
put in possession of it by John Parker, Aug. 8, 1664, and took re
ceipt for payment JtUy 4, 1665, The deed written on vellum, with
Fitz John Winthrop's unique seal upon it, is sdll preserved in
the possession of Job Lane's descendants.
The "Tvi'o Brothers" or "Brother Rocks" are composed of rough
granite each about 10 feet in diameter and standing about 60 feet
apart on the meridian. The north side of the south rock is marked
"Winthrop 1638," The south side of the north rock is marked
"Dudley 1638," The Bedford Historical Society marked these
enduring landmarks in 1893, the expense being borne by Dudley
L, Pickman, the present owner. Old oaks cut from the grove
where the Two Brothers are situated were put into the bridge
between Boston and Charlestown which Washington crossed and
praised in 1789, THE winthrop deed.

a dwelling house on the eastern side of it. An ancient Lane house
now standing and occupied as a faraily residence is situated on
the rising point of land on the right hand side of the road about a
mile and a half north from the junction of the main street of Bed
ford with the roads to Concord and Billerica, The Winthrop
Purchase was estimated to contain 1260 acres and continued intact
untU the death of Mr, Lane in 1697, when it was divided among
his heirs. In 1707 it was surveyed for the first time and found to
contain 1500 acres.
Job Lane took a receipt from Thoraas Butterfield, loth 5 mo.,
1665, He bought from Joseph Rock, Feb, 29, 1666, the Thomas
Coytraore mill in Maiden and all the privUeges attending it. This

1667-8, to build Great Bridge over Billerica river, the work to be
completed before Sept, 29 following, and he to receive "seven

Family One. 17
score and five pounds starUng ; ten in cash, ten in wheat, ten in
malt and the remainder in corne and cattle."
Job Lane, for the sum of 155 pounds and other considerations
for which he received a receipt in full June 6, 1668, bought of
Jachin Reyner of Rowley New England, co-partner with his sister
Anna Reyner wife of Job Laine, one-fourth part of housing and
lands to which said Reyner was heir in his mother's right, situated
in the townships of Edgeton and Welburne, Yorkshire, Eng,, and
occupied by Thomas Boyse. The Rev, John Reyner of Dover, N.
H., as tenant for life, had conveyed one-half of the rents of this
estate to his son Jachin Reynor, Aug, 7, 1660, and one-half to his
son-in-law Job Laine, Aug, 5, 1662. Mr. Lane was charged by
John Harwood with expenses in looking after the estates in Eng
land, June 24, 1673. His proposition, 1674, to the town of
BUlerica, "to abate him annually part of his dues to Mr. Whiting
was propounded to the town, but not accepted." He was indebted
to the estate of Joseph Hills of Maiden, Oct. 5, 1674.
The Winthrop-Lane Farm lying remote from the settlements at
Concord and Billerica was exposed to attack by the Indians during
King PhUip's 'War, 1675. "Job Lane is impressed," but was
doubtless allowed to protect his own house. — BiUerica Records.
The 8th 8 mo., 1675, he was allowed to stockade his dwelling and
be freed from fortifying other appointed garrisons, and empowered
to keep a "watch'' and examine persons as other watches may do.
The 14th 8 mo., 1675, also Job Laine was authorized "to fortify
his owne house and to have two soldiers for garrison — men to de
fend his house in case ye country could spare them."
Certificate of sale : "This may certify to all persons that I,
Mary Lynden of Boston, do sell all my right in a boy called Torrey
to Job Lane, given to me according to a County Court record, 1676.

Torrey became a family name for the colored race in the Lane
possession. Mr. Lane was deputy for BiUerica to the General Court Aug, 9,
1676, and in 1679; ^^^ selectman 1676, '7, '9-'8i ; was classed

to W. Green Apr, 2, 1678, English estate received from Jachin
Rayner, June 6, 1668 ; had family friends in the Parliament party,
England, Sept. 26, 1678.
John Harvard devised half of his estate and his library of 300
volumes in 1638, as the foundation of Harvard College and the
name Newtowne was changed to Cambridge in honor of the old
English university town. It is related that when Charles Chauncy,
president of Harvard college frora Nov. 27, 1654, to Feb. 19,
1671-2, had sacrificed his own and his family's pecuniary prospects
by his devotion to the coUege interests, he had an estate with ^60
income given him by a Mr. Lane, probably a relation of Bristol,
England. It is said that Job Lane erected one of the wooden col
lege buildings. Old Harvard Hall was rebuilt of brick in 1672 by
the contributions of the Colony at an expense of ;£i890. When
the town of BiUerica had paid a part of their subscription and
wished to excuse their delay in forwarding the remainder, the
selectmen appointed Mr. Lane, the 14th 8 mo,, 1678, "to returne
an answ'' to y= Hon"^ generaU Court vpon y= i8th day of this instant,
in reference to our contribution to y= CoUedge." He also "received
90 pounds for the colledg" Mar. 30, 1683. — Mass. Records, j.-
393- Mr. Lane was taxed in BiUerica, 1679, for two poUs and' assessed
£2, 13s, more than any other man. He was notified by John
Dickenson Apr. i, 1679, that rents in England had been received
for six years, 1673 to 1678. In 1680, he was one of the appraisers
of the goods of his brother James Lane, deceased, of Casco Bay.
Job Lane's son John married in 1682, when Mr. Lane appears
to have returned to his estate in Maiden, Here he was selectman,
1683, '6, '7 ; took Robert Stuke apprenUce for three years, July i,
1685; was deputy from Maiden, 1685 and '92. The pay of the
representative to the Legislature in those days was derived from the
town. Maiden, May 19, 1686, "paid to Mr, Laine for debutys
charges for the year '85, ^i, 14s, 7d;" and at another time the
same year for like service, £2, 5s, 6d, He was apportioned by

Family One. 19
lot land in the commons of Maiden, May, 1695 ; and bought real
estate of J. Green, Aug. 7, 1695. He also bought out this year,
some interest of Mrs. Martha, widow of John Coggan, in the mill
built by her first husband Thomas Coytemore, brother-in-law of
Gov. John Winthrop, which he bequeathed to his daughter Dorothy
and her husband Edward Sprague.
Letters from England for Mr. Job Lane of Maiden were to be
left, Feb. 9, 1694-5 "at Mrs. Mary ArdeUs at her bouse in the
Town Dock over against Mr. Thomas Clark, brazier, Boston." At
this date WiUiam Ardell had a sister in England, viz. Mrs. Frances
Thompson. He was a merchant in Boston, 1684, and sheriff of the
Province of N. H., 1698.
Job Lane was a man of marked intelUgence, great business
capacity and commanding influence in church and colony. Late
in life he became infirm through age and paralysis, so that im
portant papers were signed by his initials only, J. L. His amanu
ensis was Rev. Jabez Fox of Woburn, who married Judith Reyner,
half sister of Mrs. Lane. John Dickenson declined Apr. 7, 1695,
to pay a draft presented by Mrs. Frances Thorapson because the
writing was different from Mr. Lane's usual hand. When Dicken
son wrote about the matter, Apr. 16, 1695, Mr. Lane repUed June
19, 1695 :
"By reason of my weakness and other infirmity of old age at
tending me for the space of these six years past, I have wholly been
incapacitated to do anything for you about that business which is
above a hundred miles from me  By reason that I am lame
in ray right hand and have almost lost the use thereof, you may
only expect my mark to my letters and bills for the future.

1697-8, that his father had died 23 Aug,, previous, and that the

John Lane and four other residents of BiUerica petitioned the
Mass, General Court, Nov. 17, 1698, to preserve intact their
former grant of about sixty years since, against encroachments of
Concord and Chelmsford. He was representative, and with others
purchased real estate of S, Manning in 1702 ; with others who had

When the inhabitants of the Winthrop Farms petitioned in 1725
for a separate parish, they were not successful at first, but were
soon incorporated as tbe town of Bedford, Sept. 23, 1729. At the
first town meeting Oct. 6, 1729, the family of Col. John Lane was
represented in office by his nephew Samuel Fitch, town clerk and
selectman, by his son-in-law Nathaniel Page, selectman, his son Job
Lane, surveyor, and his son John Lane, sealer of weights and meas
ures. Many oaks from the Winthrop-Lane farm were sacrificed to
build the strong frame of the first meeting house in 1730, and the
worm-eaten timbers may now be seen in the second house. The

Grimes estate of 500 acres at Shawshine in Billerica, now Bedford,
Mass., in 1687, a part of a grant frora the Colonial Court to Ed
ward Oaks and sold by him, in 166 1. The house Nathaniel Page^
built has sheltered eight generations of the family and name, in
cluding many brave warriors and prominent men of the town. The
spirit of patriotism was cradled in that dwelling as in but few
others. For fully two centuries it has preserved in it a colonial
banner, originally designed in England and early accepted as a
standard of the organized miUtia of Massachusetts. Its design
represents an extended arm incased in mail, grasping a sword, and
the motto in Latin, "Conquer or die." In 1885 this most precious
relic was presented to the custody of the trustees of Bedford Free
Public Library.

The distinguished heroism of Mary Lane is related in the foUow
ing story told by Leander Hosmer her grandson. During a period
of Indian alarm in Queen Anne's war, the Lane faraily was left in
the garrison with only one soldier on guard. A certain stump of
a tree excited the suspicion of Mary Lane as she looked out of the
window in the roof and she called upon the guard to shoot it.
But he dechned to do it and laughed at her apprehensions. At
length she told him that if he would not shoot, she should take the

her 90th birthday in good physical and mental strength, re
ceiving the congratulations of children, grandchildren and
numerous friends who caUed to see her. She rehearsed Indian
stories told by her mother respecting the scattering Pawtucket
tribe, who made visits to the Bedford springs near by. These
keen students of nature had detected the remedial properties
of the waters, called them "medicine," and brought their sick
to bathe in them, and took away water in their skin bottles. They
expressed great indignation that the white people had broken up
their camping grounds. The venerable lady was remarkably free
from infirmities, eyes tired, lids heavy but sight perfect, and she
had cut several teeth of her third set. To the question of age she
repUed, "I was born in the year one and I have lived long
enough," Mrs, Stearns was living in BiUerica with her son John

Beginning his career at the foundation of railroad construction,
there was no department in raUroad management with the details
of which Mr, Stearns was not famiUar. To the management of the
various railroads with which he was connected, he brought a more
thorough equipment than was possessed by any other raan in New
England and one surpassed in corapleteness by few men in the
country. He won a reputation for enterprise and shrewdness
alraost unparallelled, and his services were sought beyond the geo
graphical limits to which his operations had been confined.
Nor did railroad interests absorb the whole of his time and at
tention. In 1862, he was a raeraber of the N. H. Senate, and in
1863, its president. In 1864, he was delegate at large frora N,
H,, to the Republican National Convention at Baltimore, Md, He
was nominated, Jan, 7, 1869, and inaugurated, June 3, governor
of N. H., and also served a second term in 1870. As chief
magistrate he gave close attention to details, no interest failed to
receive his careful attention, and his administration was character-
isticaUy wise, economical and successful.

He was naraed, with his brother James, executor of the wiU of
his grandmother, Mary Wellington-Lane, who died ii Dec, 1783,
the widow of Dea. Job Lane' (John*, Job'). This trust he de
clined in a letter of neatest penmanship, directed to the Judge of
Probate."Hon^ie Oliver Prescott Esq'. Boston, March 4''' 1784.
Sir, I wou'd inform you that my Brother with myself are Executors
to the WiU & Testament of ray Grandmother.
My Situation and Indisposition are such at present as render it
inconvenient for me to wait on you with him. Reposing Confi
dence in you and trust in him, I shall rest contented with his
Representation to you, and your Determination.
I am With Respect,

When President George Washington visited Boston on Saturday,
Oct. 24, 1789, Master Lane's pupils were paraded in Cornhill,
now Washington street, to welcorae hira as the procession passed
along. They stood in the gutters in front of long rows of men
whose strength was required to protect them from the crowd on
the sidewalks. General Washington was mounted on a white
charger, seated in uniform with characteristic erectness and dignity.
As he rode along with uncovered head, he incUned his body first
on one side and then on the other, distinctly bowing. The pupils
were placed in front of Mr. Jonathan Moore's hardware store op
posite WiUiams Court. I weU remember the laugh which our
salute created when, as the General passed us, we briskly roUed in
our hands quills with the longest feathers we could find. — Recol-

of Industry or other causes debar from instruction on week days,"
Lucius Manlius Sargent was one of Master Lane's pupils in 1793,
at 7 years of age, and thought hira severe, "The master was
harsh, he did not Uke him. One mode of his punishment was to
make a boy stand on a very narrow log with scarcely any foothold,
with a large chip in bis mouth for an exaraple ; yet if any urchin
lifted up bis eyes to look at him, he was condemned to a similar
punishment." — John H. Sheppard.

deacon of the First Universalist church at the comer of Hanover

He drew his men up in front of the old Fitch tavern and said,

His bass voice, loud enough to make the summers start in the
oaken ceiling of the church, would join with the tenor of his
minister. Rev, Samuel Stearns, if perchance the choir were absent.
He was "Uncle Solomon" to aU the Bedford folks, in his old age —

carried under his farmer's coat a heart as gentle as a woman's." —

the nucleus of his subsequent gains. His education was necessarily
Umited, but "he early learned that one hundred cents make a dol

DENNIS. When Levi their first child was a babe in arras they moved to
Maine. They had to cross the Kennebec river. It was rapidly
rising on account of recent rains. There was but little time.
With Spartan-Uke decision and courage the mother seized as many
of her treasures as she could carry and her baby by his dress in her
teeth and crossed in safety. Just as she stepped upon the opposite
bank the swift water carried away the log that had served as a
bridge. After the war of 181 2, the family removed to the wilds of
Wayne Co., New York, Four Lane brothers joined a New Eng
land colony and proceeded most of the way on foot. The boy
Levi at 86 years of age remembered how startled the people were
on the way, fearing the approach of the British. To the eyes of
the boy the guns of the company as they were stacked looked Uke
a forest When the travelers reached Utica, and the residents
found they were not enemies, there was great rejoicing. At Utica,
they met with Indians, still restless and seemingly dangerous. The
fright was now with the Yankee parents, who refused the request
of the Indians to take charge of the baby — Lavinia now. But at
length the Indians seemed so kind, they were allowed to take the
child. Then the redskins danced with pleasure, held a real pow
wow, did not hurt the chUd in the least, but assisted in carrying
her and some of the goods a long distance. It was a great treat
for the Indians to carry a white baby. Five mUes north of the
present county seat of Lyons, in tbe wild forest, broken only here
and there by a lonely settlement, Mr. Lane, in 1814, took up a
claim and made his home, and went to Geneva to mill. He raised
a large and happy family,

now essential to the agricultural progress of all civilized nations .

invention, saying that if it was of any value or service to his
brother farmers and mechanics they were cordially welcome to it.

"I look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith, as my
Redeemer and my Saviour, and to the Holy Spirit as my Sancti-
fier and Guide, through whom I have acceptance with God the
Father. I look away from myself, a sinful worm of the dust, to
Him through the shedding of whose blood : through whose merits
and mediation I have the forgiveness of my sins, I beUeve in
Him, and through this faith I have justification before God : and

Keeper untU I come to my Father in Heaven,"
Funeral services were held at his residence. No. 4 Montgomery
Place, Boston, conducted by Rev. Edward N. Kirk, D, D,, and at
the residence of his brother, Anthony Lane, Esq., of Lancaster.
His remains were interred in the new cemetery, near the North
village, Lancaster. All sought to honor him as the model husband,
father, physician, friend and Christian. Many there were who
called him blessed. May there be raany of his descendants who
shall emulate his virtues.
Dr. Lane commenced a very complete system of family registra
tion in Oct., 1844, which was continued by his children. These
records have been freely used in this work.

(James') of Norwich, Conn., and his wife, Eliza Rogers Wood-
bridge' (Samuel*, Dr. Dudley'). Bom of parents of no common
education and ability, reared in a famUy of Christian love and
example, her life became blended with that of her husband, the
good physician, worthy counsellor and beloved head of their united
household. What happy homes were those into whose very life
her own sweet life was so joyously blended ! Model Christian wife
and mother, beloved of husband and revered by children, her life
beautifully adorned the gospel of Christ. She entered into rest
Nov. 16, 1846. Her remains were temporarily interred at Mount
Auburn and subsequently removed to the family lot in the cemetery
at North Lancaster.
"Descendants, whoever you may be, you have just cause to be
proud of such ancestors as this parentage and those preceding.
Seek to pattern from their characters and example, and, like them,
die ripe in the faith of these fathers and mothers in Israel who
have so gloriously preceded you."

Cometh neither voice nor cry,
Yet we know frora thee to-day,
Every pain hath passed away.
Not for thee shall tears be given.
Child of God and heir of heaven.
For he gave thee sweet release,
Thine the Christian's death of peace.
Well we know thy living faith
Had the power to conquer death.
As a living rose raay bloom,
By the border of the tomb.
Father, in that soleran trust
We coraraend thee, dust to dust I
In that faith we wait, till risen,
Thou shall meet us all in heaven.
While we weep as Jesus wept.
Thou shall sleep as Jesus slept;
With thy Saviour thou shall rest.
Crowned and glorified and blest,"

Rev. Benjamin F. Clarke, 13 Nov., 185 1, SARAH DELIA
CLARKE* (Benjamin F.', and Sarah, dau. of Israel and Chloe
(Lombard) Chapin, Samuel*, of Sharon, Mass., and Ursula FeUis
Church, Joseph F.', of Jamaica Plain, Mass.) Mrs. Lane was
born in Buckland, Mass., 7 Oct., 1826, and graduated from Mount
Holyoke Female Seminary in 1845, being a classmate of Mr.
Lane's sister, Ruhamah Augusta Lane. Mr. Lane died of heart
faUure, at his residence since 1856, No. 623 Tremont street, Sun
day morning, June 5, 1898. Appropriate funeral services were
held June 7, at the house and at the Union Church, Columbus
Avenue. "Busy Boston stopped to honor one of its leaders in
commerce and politics." — Boston Herald.
The interment was in the family lot at Bedford, Mass. Will
dated April 12, 1889, was filed in the Registry of the Suffolk Pro
bate Court, June 9, 1898 ; wife and eldest son executors.
"Mr. Lane had a reputation which was not confined within
business liraits, though for years he had been one of the leading
spirits in the commercial life of Boston. Although he was well
known as one of the Allen- Lane Company, dry goods commission
merchants, he had large interests that lay in other social, political
and charitable ways," — Boston 'J^ournal.
"In the death of Hon, Jonathan A, Lane the city of Boston has
lost one of its most high minded and pubUc spirited citizens.
But his sympathies and his efforts were not bounded by local limi
tations. He desired pure and efificient city government, but his
ideals did not halt at that point. He was no less ardent in his
championship of large and practical reforms for state and nation.
There was hardly a progressive or a philanthropic movement in
this city that had not felt his influence. He had been helpful and
zealous in whatever seemed to him to give promise of wholesome
progress, and the good causes which had benefitted by his raeans,
his counsel and his service were alraost nuraberless." — Boston
Transcript. A monument in representation of a Grecian temple is erected to
his memory in Shawshine cemetery, Bedford, Mass. Inscription :
"Jonathan Abbot Lane, son of Jonathan and Ruhamah Lane, born

several which mark the resting place of former merchants and use

After graduation he studied law in the office of George W. Morse,
Esq., and at the Law School of Boston University, receiving the

166 Job Lane and Descendants.
degree of LL,B. in 1876. He was admitted to the Suffolk Bar in
1878, and practiced law under the firm of Morse & Lane with
offices at 28 State street. In 1879 he removed to Norwood, Mass.,
where he became influential in the educational, moral and social
development of the town. In 1880 he was appointed one of the
Trial Justices of Norfolk County, and in the judgment of 1,005
cases distinguished himself for keen, clear-headed, righteous decis
ions. From 1883, onward, he was associated with raany important
litigations, being special counsel for several large firms engaged in
industry and transportation. As a counsellor and strictly com
raercial lawyer he stood among the first, and his firm built up a
large practice. He was president of the AUen-Lane Corapany,
coramission merchants, and director in the woolen mills at Warren
and East Wilton, Me,, and Manchester, N. H. He was treasurer
and director of Newton Street Railroad Co., Jan, 26, 1889; was
projector and treasurer of the Norwood Associates for Co-operative
Savings, president of the Norwood Board of Trade, vice-president
of the Massachusetts Board of Trade, as well as holder and
manager of several large trusts.
Judge Lane became a meraber of Hebron Chapter of Free
Masons in 1885, and of the Cyprus Coramandery of Knights
Templar, located at Hyde Park, Oct, 27, 1887; took the Scottish
Rite Degrees at Boston, and became raember of Massachusetts
Consistory in the spring of 1896, taking the 32d degree, AprU 24,
1896. He was also a raember of Aleppo Temple of the Mystic
Shrine at Boston, and of the Loyal Contentment Lodge of Odd
Fellows at Norwood,
He was an important factor in the poUtical world, enthusiastic as
a Republican up to 1884, afterwards active on the Deraocratic
State Committee till 1895, then manager of the campaign of the
Gold Democrats and delegate to the National Convention at
Indianapolis, in the summer of 1896. In the fall of 1896, he was
chosen vice-president of the Young Men's Democratic Club of
Massachusetts, and re-elected in 1897.
He was deeply interested in the public schools of Norwood, and
instituted the Norwood medals for merit and good scholarship in
1890, now so eagerly sought by competing pupUs. He was a

Family One Hundred Four. 167
member of the Norwood Literary Club, and chairman of the School
Committee in 1894, and of the Board of Trustees of the PubUc
Library 1893-98.
Mr. and Mrs. Lane were merabers of the First Congregational
church at Norwood. He was admitted without giving up his
membership in the Union church, Boston, with which he had been
for a long time connected. He served on the prudential com
mittee of the church, on the committee of the parish and on the
music committee in i897-'98, a tireless worker and inspiring
helper in all departments of the church and an endeared Bible
class teacher in the Sunday School. He had inherited through a
long line of ancestors a tendency to distinguishing public service, and
he ranked high in the social, business, benevolent and religious
circles with which he was connected.
On Nov. 2, 1898, seemingly in the best of health, he left his
home in Norwood to take an early morning train for Boston.
Thinking himself late he ran part of the way to tbe station. He
was taken severely ill on the cars, and on arriving in Boston went
to his mother's house on Tremont street. He had recovered suf
ficiently Nov. 15, to be driven to his home in Norwood, and ap
peared improved by the change. The next day his trouble de
veloping into pericarditis, he failed steadily until on Sunday morn
ing, Nov. 20, 1898, he passed away.
"The best words of formal resolution can but faintly express the
sense of loss we feel in the death of our late President John C.
Lane. "If integrity is the best evidence of true manhood, an unwilling
ness to inflict unnecessary pain the mark of the gentleraan, dis-
. interestedness the test of citizenship, and self denial the character
istic of the Christian, surely we may say that John C. Lane was an
honest man, a perfect gentleman, a good citizen, and a zealous
Christian." — Norwood Board of Trade.

PART III.
James Lane of Casco Bay, Me.,
AND DESCENDANTS.

The Rev. James PiUsbury Lane furnished a sketch of "James
Lane of North Yarmouth, Me., and His Descendants" for the
New England Historic-Genealogical Register of April, 1888, vol,
42 : pp. 141-152.

1.
JAMES LANE', b. in England, son of Jaraes Lane, was a
craftsraan and perhaps meraber of the guild of turners, London,
in 1654. Tbe same year he had joint ownership with his brother,
John Lane, in real estate at Rickmansworth, Hertford Co., re
ceived from their parents, in which their brother. Job Lane, claimed
also a share. James Lane had paid debts on the property, "a
good sum," and was reduced in circumstances. Jereraiah Gould
wrote to Job Lane frora London, June 6, 1654 : "You wonder
your Brother James should deceive me to make away your estate
... I find a surrender of premises from both father and mother
unto Jaraes and John and their heirs forever. . . . Your brother
James, he is very poor and I hope very honest." — Gen. Reg., 18^7.
The brothers. Job, James and Edward Lane, settied in Maiden,
Mass,, about 1656, probably in some sort of partnership, which,
however, did not continue long. James Lane soon removed to
Casco Bay, Me. Edward Lane was of Boston, Mass., and sold his
Maiden estate in 1663. Job Lane removed to BUlerica, Mass.,
about 1664.

172 James Lane and Descendants.
James Lane seems accounted an inhabitant of Charlestown,
Mass., in 1658. In 1660, Nov. 19, then of Maiden, he appointed
Job Lane his attorney.
"I James Lane, of Maiden, Middlesex County,' Turner, Have
constituted my weU beloved brother Job Lane of same Maiden, my
true and lawful attorney in my narae and sted to act etc. Seal and
anchor : Witness, Thoraas Esdell, Wra. Pearse."
While the deposition of John Lane* (James') July 2, 1733,
shows that the family "removed from Maulden to a Place since
called North Yarmouth, in Casco Bay," the statement that it was
"about seventy-five years since," cannot be taken as giving the
exact year.
Raleigh Gilbert probably entered the harbor of Casco Bay in 1608, Capt,
John Smith anchored here in 1614, Thomas Dermer must have been here in
1619, Christopher Levett was welcomed at the falls of Presumpscot in 1623,
by the Sagamore Skatterygusset, This Sachem was chief of the Aucocisco
tribe frora which comes the name Casco, All the early plantations were called
by the general name of Casco Bay, No boundaries were defined and the
Indian designations were in use. The ancient places of Maquoit, Harraseeket,
Westcustigo, Damaris Cove, Machegonne Neck, Purpooduck and Spurwink
became better known as Falmouth in 1658,
Ferdinando Gorges early granted a township extending six miles on Casco
Bay east of Westcustigo river. Here William Royall, a cooper and clap-board
cleaver, settled as early as 1636, purchased land in 1643, gave his name to
the river and ended his days. The municipality of Westcustigo was recog
nized by Mass, in 1680, "Fort Royal 22d September 1680,
"For the further enlargement to the settlement of the township, by the
governour and corapany of the Massachusetts Colony, on the easterly side of
the West Custigo river on Casco Bay; it is hereby granted unto them, that the
waste lands lying between the said grant and Casco shall be added to the
township called Daraerras Cove, It is also hereby ordered and declared that
the name of the plantation shall be North Yarmouth, Thomas Danforth President."
Here James Lane acquired by purchase and improvement large
estates in various situations, and gave his narae to a point of land
and to an island off the east bank of RoyaU's river which stiU bears
his name. The Indian headquarters for fishing the streams and
coves along shore and island of Casco Bay seem to have been on

Family One. 173
Lane's Island. Tradition marks the island as the place where the
Indians planted corn, held councils, tortured their captives and
buried their dead. As the banks of the island cave away, human
bones are exposed to view. From the manner of burial it is sup
posed that the graves are those of the aborigines.
Court Items : James Lane was a frequent petitioner to the General Court,
and his family is raentioned casually four times in Willis' History of Portland.
He was living at Falmouth in 1658, and was among the petitioners to be
joined to the Massachusetts Bay government, Araong eight neighbors he re
newed the petition, "April y= 26'h (1659?) haueing formerlie presented a
petition to this Honourd Court for yor takeing vs vnder yr gouernment Doe by
these in y= behalfe of our selues & y= rest of our Neighbours humbly renew
our request vnto you," — Mass. Archives.
James Lane received a legacy by his uncle John Lane's will
dated Aug. 7, 1661. "Item I giue and bequeath vnto James Lane
brother to the said Job, Tenn pounds of like good money to be
paid to him within Six moneths next after my death by myne
Execut^" — Gen. Reg., Oct., i8go.
In 1665-6 and probably longer, James Lane was "sergeant of
ye companye" and William Haynes "dark of y= band." This train
band, the extent of Westcustigo's early martial glory, was a section
of the larger military division of Casco with its less than thirty
small houses. Sergeant Lane as chief officer would be armed with
halberd, sword and pistol.
At a Court in Casco, July 26, 1666, James Lane was surety under a bond of
£110, for James Mosier in the settlement of his father, Hugh Mosier's estate,
and soon after bought of James and John Mosier, out bf the estate, two islands
called Great and Little Mosiers.
At the same Court James Robinson, cooper, of Black Point, was indicted,
29 July, 1666, for the murder of Christopher Collins of the sarae place. The
case was coraraitted to James Lane of Westcustigo, with seventeen others,
"the jury of Life and Death," who found that "said CoUings was slain by
misadventure and culpable of his own death," Jurymen were "freemen"
with the prerogatives of that title.
The name of Jaraes Lane appears in connection with presentments and in
dictments by the Grand Jury at Casco, I Oct., 1667, "We present John
Mosier for travelling upon the Sabbath day, fined 5s,, officers fees 5s,
This los. to be forthwith paid; and if afterwards by 2 evidences he can make
it out that upon the Sabbath he traveled purposely, as he pretends, to look

after Mr, Lane who that day, as the said Mosier pretended, was in danger of
being drowned, then the said Mosier is to have his los. returned to hira again,"
James Lane of Westcustigo with eight neighbors petitioned, Apr. 26, 1668,
"ye Honord GeneraU Court of his maiesties Collonee of ye Massachusetts Bay
att Boston" to be taken under the government of Mass, He purchased estate
of John Cleaves, May 15, 1673,
"I John Sears (Cleaves) resident in the Province of Mayne in New Eng
land, Planter, ffor Twenty pounds current money of New England, have sold
unto Mr, James Lane of Westgestuggo, All that Ysland commonly known or
called by the name of Reddings Island & being on the Eastern side of Mayre

21 June, 1673: In presence of us Ezekiel Carveath, John Lane," — York Co.
Records, vol. ii, p. 2y8.
He also purchased of John Burrell, May 20, 1673, a second farm of sixty
acres lying between RoyaU's river and Cousin's river.
Boundary: 1690, Dec, 10, Deed, "Joshua Atwater of Boston to Theodo-
sius Moore of the same place, all my lands and house on Westostugo river
containing 200 acres bounded east by land of Jaraes Lane, west by said river;
also 16 acres one raile and a half above my house near Jaraes Lane's, being
the sarae land whereon Thomas Redding lived and died,"
"Theo. Moore claimes a house and tract of Land lying upon Westcustogo
river in Casco Bay containing 2 Hund, acres more or less upland, bounded by
the land of James Lane eastward, westward with the same river, North & South
with Creeks; together with 16 acres meadow about one Mile & half North

house, upland and Meadow Thoraas Reding of late lived upon & died siezed
of in his own right. Bott of Joshua Atwater per Deed, Dated 10 December

Mr. Lane was witness to transfer of land frora EHner Redding widow of
Thomas Redding to James Andrews, March 10, 1673-4, "James Lane his
marke L."
He was living at Westcustigo in 1675, The deposition of John Lane, July
2, 1733, says that "he reraoved with his father James Lane frora Maulden to
a Place since called North Yarraouth in Casco Bay and there lived till driven
from thence by the Indians in the first warr." This "first warr" was King
Philip's war of 1675 '° 1678, Casco Bay was raolested first, in the beginning
of September, 1675, when twenty-five harvesters going up the Bay in a sloop
and two boats to gather Indian corn were fired upon by Indians but escaped
with many wounds and the loss of their freighted boats. Again Sept. 12,
1675, old Mr. Wakely of Casco Bay, his wife, son, daughter-in-law and three
grand children were murdered and the house burned. This bloody butchery

Family One. 175
was succeeded, Aug. II, 1676, by the attack on Falmouth in which thirty-
four persons were killed or captured, the rest of the inhabitants abandoning the
place. Capt. William Hathorne and soldiers never could come up with the
Indians and his expedition to Casco Bay was fruitless. — William Hubbard,
1677. Sergeant James Lane disappeared at this time. He was "killed
in a fight with the Indians."

James Lane is supposed to have had a wife ANN  , and
certainly had a daughter by this name. He m. SARAH WHITE,
daughter of John White and his wife Mary, who was the widow of
James Phips. The mother Mary was mother of twenty-six
children, and the daughter Sarah was half-sister of Sir WiUiam
Phipps, the royal governor of Mass.

JOHN LANE* (James'), 1652-1738.
Machigonne, now Portland, Me., was settled first by George Cleaves and
Richard Tucker, Mrs. Cleaves and daughter and a servant, in 1633, The
settlement was entirely destroyed by the Indians in 1676, resettled under
President Danforth in 1680, and again destroyed 'by French and Indians in
1690. John Lane testified, July 2, 1733, that "Fifty-two or three years
since he went to live at Falmouth in Casco Bay and there lived till
he removed frora thence in the 2d Indian War." — Deposition.
Other records show hira at Cape EUzabeth under President

Thomas Danforth in 1680. Here he married DORCAS WALLIS',
daughter of John* and Mary (Shepard) WaUis.
Nathaniel Wallis' was born in 1632, a native of Cornwall Co,, England,
With his son John Wallis he was among the twenty-nine inhabitants of Black
Point and Casco, who, July 13, 1658, signed to be joined to Mass, Bay.
John Wallis^ had bought his property at Cape Elizabeth in 1667, Record:
"Nicho, White sold to John Wallis a plantation at a place comonly called or
known by the name of Papoding in Casco Bay, 25 Nov,, 1667, for 24 pounds
sterling." In the Indian attack upon Casco Bay, Aug, 11, 1675, "G""
Wallis his dwelling & none besides his is burnt; there are of men slain 11, of
women & children 23 killed & taken," — Thaddeus Clark, 14, 6, ''j6.
Driven away by the Indians in 1675, Goodman John Wallis returned to Fal
mouth where he was Selectman in 1681. Compelled to flee in the second
Indian attack, he died at Gloucester, Mass,, 23 Sept,, 1690. Inventory of his
estate, Jan, 29, 1691,
John Lane was living near his father-in-law John Wallis at
Purpooduck Point in 1687, and May 26, 1689. King William's
war, "the second Indian War" of John Lane's deposition, broke
out in 1686.
The Indians alleged grievances of their own. They began reprisals at
North Yarmouth by killing cattle and in a few instances persons. Samuel
and Henry Lane (see Samuel'' (James') No. 3), testify to being molested in
their house July 26, 1688. Justice Benjarain Blackraan ordered sixteen
Indians to be seized and kept under guard at Casco, but others continued to
rob and capture the inhabttants. In Septeraber, 1689, seven hundred French
and Indians attacked the fort at Casco which was successfully defended by
Col, Benjamin Church and his forces, and probably saved the Maine settle
ment from absolute ruin. On May 17, the following year, 1690, an expedi
tion from Quebec dismantled three forts at Falmouth, killed and captured one
hundred inhabitants and destroyed the town. The slain had no funeral cere
monies and were left unburied until the next year. After the destruction of
Falmouth the eastern plantations were deserted, Maine, a second time, was
nearly abandoned of English settlerr\ents. The fugitives took refuge first on
Jewell's, then on Richmond's island to aw&it earliest transportation, some for
Pascataqua, some for Boston and some for Salem, From Casco Bay to
Pemaquid not one English plantation reraained.
The families of John Wallis and John Lane of Cape Elizabeth
and of Samuel Lane of North Yarmouth are found soon at Glou
cester, Mass. Here the Lane family gave the narae of Lanesville
to a village of the town.

John Lane of Ipswich, Mass,, Feb, 14, 1694-5, P^''^ '^° pounds current
silver money for one acre and a half of land with buildings thereon, to Shore-
born Wilson whose wife Abigail relinquished right of dower; witnessed Mar,
28, 1695, He sold land in Falmouth, Me., to John Arnold, Feb. 11, 1700.
He bought land in Gloucester of Nathaniel Day and others, Oct, 5, 1700,
He received several grants of land in Gloucester — "swamp land up in the
woods with consent of neighbors," in 1701; a common right, Mar, 3, 1701-2;
ten acres at Flatstone cove in 1704, where he built his house and to which his
own name was subsequently given; and land at Plum cove near his house in
1726, In 1713 he was paid i;^, 10s, for killing "a grown wolve."
John Lane also possessed large estates in Maine by inheritance and by
purchase. The possessions of his father James Lane at Westcustigo, were
mentioned in the boundaries of other lands, Apr, 12, 1680. Molested by
the Indians, July 26 and Sept, 13, 1688, they were again mentioned,
Dec. 10, 1690, In Jan,, 1714-15, John Lane presented claims in his father's
narae to six several propertys at North Yarmouth and also clairaed in his own
right fifty or sixty acres at Pond cove. Cape Elizabeth. When in May, 1722,
Massachusetts renewed the corporation of North Yarraouth, and when the
meetings of proprietors and assignees were transfered frora Boston to North
Yarmouth, May 16, 1727, the claim of the Lan^ family as being among the
few original proprietors, was still duly recognized, — Sullivan's History of the
District of Alaine, I7gj.
John and Dorcas Lane shared in the division of the Wallis estate at Fal
mouth, Feb. 19, 1723, CaUing hiraself then of Boston, John Lane conveyed,
Mar, 20, 1727, all right, inherited frora his mother Sarah (White) Lane, dau,
of John White, at Nequasset in Kennebec, purchased by John White and

bought the land from Robin Hood, the Indian chief.

Joseph Lamson and Josiah Nichols all of Maiden, sold their "right of inheri
tance to land owned by John Lane late of Casco Bay," — York Co. Deeds.
In consequence of the loss of deeds and evidences of titles by
the various inroads of the Indians, great confusion was brought
upon the titles to lands in Maine, To remedy in a measure this
evil, the General Court in 1700, appointed a coraraission consist
ing of seven members to examine clairas of persons to lands in the
Province. John Lane was accounted among the old Planters of
Westcustigo. Briefs of his Eastern claims, his share in the division
of the WaUis estate and his five Depositions are here presented.

"That night the Indians went on to an island called 'Lanes Island' where
they butchered the unfortunate victiras who fell into their hands in the raorn
ing, together with another captive whom they had previously taken farther
east, in a most savage and cruel manner. Their bodies were found by some of
the garrison and buried on the main. Soon after this the garrison reraoved to
Jewel's Island, one of the most distant from the main land in Casco Bay, and
built a fort there to secure themselves till they could return to Massachusetts,
Not long after the building of the fort, it was attacked by a large party of
Indians from the main; but was resolutely defended until many of the Indians
being killed, the others thought proper to leave the island, A vessel soon
after took the inhabitants off the island and conveyed them to Boston, in which
and its neighborhood they disposed themselves. And thus the settlement of
North Yarraouth was entirely broken up at this time," — Hist. Dist. of Maine,

and united with the church in Annisquara, 23 May, 1773. She d.

Mr. Lane probably located at Porridge Hill in Dogtown, Gloucester, where
the well is still shown. His daughter Mrs. Asa Woodbury is remerabered to
have said that she was born there. But he soon settled at Lobster cove.
Gideon Lane and Gideon Lane, Jr., made many purchases of land in Glou
cester from 1773 to 1799, Tradition connects the father with the exploits of
the English sloop of war "Falcon" which had aided the British at the battle
of Bunker Hill. The vessel raade her appearance in Ipswich Bay, Aug, 5,
1775. Capt. Lindsay despatched a barge with 50 men on shore to seize a
supply of sheep from the adjacent pastures. Repulsed in this attempt, the
barge was next ordered to Squam Harbor to capture Capt. Lane's deeply
laden schooner, supposed by Lindsay to be a West Indiaman, Upon boarding
the craft, she was found to be laden with nothing but sand. Disappointed
again in seizing what he supposed to be a valuable cargo of West Indian
products, Capt, Lindsay continued his depredations in adjacent parts. He
bombarded for several hours the town of Gloucester, Aug, 8, 1775. The fire
of the "Falcon" was directed principally upon the meeting-house and caused

212 James Lane and Descendants,
considerable damage to the building, Capt, Joseph Rogers with his company
of minute men, aided by Col, Joseph Foster, met the enemy, captured four
boats, a small tender, a prize schooner, and forty men, and compelled the
"Falcon" to withdraw,
A corapany under Capt. John Lane had been stationed all summer some
where on Cape Ann, for the defense of the sea coast. But Capt. John Lane
does not appear to have been engaged in the affair with Lindsay and therefore
probably was not near the scene of action. In September this company was
supplied with wood and barracks by the town. It suffered in some degree
from the non-payment of wages, but in November was allowed to draw cloth
ing from the public stores. — J. J. Babson.

Many Gloucester families perpetuated the name of the home they left, in the
town of New Gloucester on Royal's river in Maine. The first meeting of the
sixty Gloucester proprietors was Apr, 27, 1736, and the same year, Mass, Gen,
Court granted them a township six miles square. Pioneers located first in
present Gorham and Gray, Me, Others selected a. site further to the north
west which the Gen. Court confirmed to them, July 5, 1737, and to which a
road was brushed out, on the east side of Royal's river from Cousin's river in
North Yarmouth, The proprietors met again in Feb., 1738, set apart three
lots for public purposes, divided sixty lots among themselves and provided for
building a saw mill on "Stevens Brook" within two years, calling the town
ship New Gloucester. The settlement began in the spring of 1739. Families
of settlers were brought from Mass. to North Yarmouth by a vessel in the fall
of 1742, and from thence poled up Royal's river on rafts to the great bridge.

but the governor ordered the settlers off on accouiit of Indian troubles in 1 744
to 1749. The permanent settlement at New Gloucester dates from 1756.
In 1758 a grist mill was completed in connection with the saw mill. In 1760,
the raills were moved to the great falls on Royal's river. Their block house
became to them a home, a fort, a church. The church was organized and
Rev. Samuel Foxcroft, ordained, Jan. 16, 1765. It was reported that they
had "a jolly ordination and lost sight of decorum." In 1770 sixty-one
persons subscribed to build a meeting-house but the town languished till its
incorporation, Sept. 7, 1774.
Benjamin Lane bought of Peter Graff an, Sept. 11, 1770, the 60 acre lot No.
60 in the supplement to Division 2, New Gloucester, on which he settled.
The same year Benjamin Lane, Ebenezer Lane and Daniel Lane subscribed
10 pounds each toward building the meeting-house. Benjamin Lane paid
Micah Walker of Bakerstown, 5 pounds, Jan. 8, 1782, for "the floor or ground
Pew number five in the meeting House in New Gloucester, being the raost

"Died in Gloucester on Wednesday morning last, Capt. Gideon Lane, aged
57 years, after a long and distressing illness which he endured with remarka
ble fortitude and patience. An affectionate remembrance of the worthy man
will ever be cherished by his relations and friends. Hi§ moral character was
unexceptionable and he was distinguished for his diligence and activity in
business. When in health his cheerful and social disposition never failed to
render him an acceptable corapanion in the circle of his friends and acquain
tances. In the death of Capt. Lane the society in which he lived, and his friends in
particular, have sustained an irreparable loss. He was a kind and affectionate
husband, a tender and indulgent father. He was fondly attached to life and
had an earnest desire to recover from his illness, but still, when he became
sensible that his case was hopeless, he expressed a perfect resignation to the
Divine Will, and died in a comfortable hope of a happy iraraortality. We
trust he is now rejoicing in the possession of perfect purity and bliss; while he
has left behind that which is better than precious ointment 'a good name.'
Peace be to his raemory." — Rev. Ezra Learned.

GIDDINGS LANE' (Daniel*, Samuel'-*, James'), 1770-1836,
was born New Gloucester, Me., 5, bap. 14 May, 1770, lookup

270 James Lane and Descendants.
RIS; she b. 30 Oct, 1770, dau. of Samuel and Lydia (Wash
burn) Norris.
Lydia Washburn was dau. of Ephraim and Mary Washburn, and is thought
to have been a Mayflower descendant through John Winslow, Mary and Jaraes
Chilton. Four sons of Samuel Norris sailed from Sandwich, Mass., to the Andros
coggin river in the ship "Sandwich Harbor." The father and sons settled at
a place first called New Sandwich, but changed to Wayne, Feb. 12, 1798, in
honor of Gen, Anthony Wayne,
Mr. Lane was a large man and his wife a sraall but very sraart woraan.
When five years old, she attended with her parents, a reception to Gen, George
Washington, At the age of eighteen, she knit herself a pair of stockings
from sun to sun, and spent the day in visiting. When her husband cleared up
wild land, she drove the oxen to plough the first furrow. Surprised by In
dian alarms, she burned her featherbed to keep the savages from coming
down the chimney. She and her children were great singers, one or more of
the family sitting in the choir for many years. Mother, daughter and grand
son have sung together in public celebrations. The singing school always
raet in her living room. Sitting in the corner knitting and without a book,
she could learn the tunes better than others with books. She died 14 Apr,,
1865, the day President Abrahara Lincoln was assassinated.
The first Baptist meetings in Leeds, 1794 to 1800, were held in Mr, Lane's
barn, then new. He gave the land for their meeting-house and boarded two
workmen while it was building, to June, 1800, When the First Baptist
church of sixteen members was organized, July 2, 1800, Mr, and Mrs. Lane
were received to membership and he chosen- deacon. Every Sunday a
general invitation was given to all the congregation to partake of his hospi
tality, and tables were spread in his shed for all who would stay at noon.
The brothers, Daniel, Jaraes and Giddings Lane, were corporate members of
the Baptist society, June 23, 1804, Dea, Giddings Lane owned the first
carriage and the first set of china in Leeds, and at death was the richest man
in town. He died 29 Jan,, 1836,
obituary of deacon giddings lane.
"Died in Leeds on the 29th ult. Dea. Giddings Lane, aged 62 yrs, and 5
ms, Dea, Lane became a member of the Baptist church in Leeds at its
organization in June, 1800, He was then invested with the office of deacon,
the duties of which he faithfully discharged until prevented by age and sick
ness. In his Christian course, he always cherished unyielding attachraent to
the truth, and being possessed of a sound and discriminating raind, he was
able to detect the slightest deviation from the rules and requirements of the
gospel. In church governraent he was mild and compassionate, but firm and
persevering. In the sanctuary his seat was sure to be filled; he did not sit in

cool, critical speculation, but received the message in sincerity and with a
view to honor God, His approbation of the truth was sometimes evinced by
an expressive smile. In the absense of a minister he often had some interest
ing sermon which he read, much to the edification of his hearers. During the
week he seemed delighted to visit and to receive Christian company. His
home was ever open to the friends of Christ, and his conversation was emi
nently instructive. Many a young Christian has gone to hira with doubts
and perplexities which he has removed.
Dea. Lane did rauch for the cause of raorality and religion. He has
labored much, he has sacrificed much, and in him the church and society at
Leeds sustain a great loss. But we trust that our loss is his gain, for in his last
moments he exemplified the truth of the Scripture, 'Mark the perfect man and
behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace,' "

Capt. GIDEON LANE, 2d", (Gideon'-*, Joseph', John*,
James',) 1791-1865, b. Annisquara, Mass., 31 Aug., 1790, a suc
cessful ship builder and master, lived in Boston, Annisquam and
Chelsea, Mass.
A party of ladies on board the sloop "Hebe" were very much alarmed
when the wind arose in Annisquam River. Capt. Lane's mother was on board
and tried to calm their fears by telling thera that as long as Gideon was at the
helm, there was no danger. This confidence in the seamanship of her son
became a standing joke upon the lady for a long time.
Capt. Lane m. first, 30 Jan., 1817, DORCAS, dau. of WUUam
BABSON, who was b. 14 Aug., 1793, and d. 16 Oct, 1817.
" Blest be thy rest, fair dweller of the sky,
Belov'd thou liv'd, lamented thou didst die;
Thy heart was goodness and thy soul was truth,
Now blooms in heaven with an immortal youth;
Soon we shall meet thee on that blissful shore.
Of peace and joy, to part again no more,"
— Old Parish Burying Ground, Annisquam,
He m. second, 1821, ELIZA HARPER PEABODY of Bucks-
port, Me,, dau. of Asa and EUzabeth Harper Peabody.
Capt. Lane was allowed a claim against his father's estate, Jan. 17, 1826,
and the same year came from Boston to Gloucester Harbor, in the fishing
schooner "Patriot," and to Annisquam in a wagon. He settled permanently
at Annisquam, in 1827, and the "Patriot" landed his furniture at the wharf
below his house. The post office was first located at the head of Lobster
cove, near the church on the corner, where Mrs. Maria Lane had her flower
garden in 1889. Annisquam was then the most flourishing part of Gloucester.
"Vessels of good reputation were then built at '.Squam. Capt. Lane caught
the building mania, and in 1828 he launched a schooner of 90 tons, called the
"St. Thoraas," of which Capt. David Lane took charge. In 1831, he
launched the ship "Gloucester," of 348 tons, of which Capt. Oliver Griffin
Lane took the command. This vessel was wrecked near Sydney, Cape Breton,
about 1843. About 1831-33, there was a large fleet of vessels fitting out and
mostly owned here. Capt. Lane reported that at one time there were in the
harbor 65 fishing vessels of different kinds, 6 coasters and 2 or 3 vessels that
went trading "Down East." The mill dam across Goose creek was built in
1834. Capt. Lane and William Hodgkins were owners in the saw and grain
raill erected there. The property is owned by grandsons of Mr. Hodgkins, in

1898. The chief cause of the decline in the shipping interests of Annisquara
was the money panic of 1837, when President Jackson vetoed the re-chartering
of the U. S. Banks. — George Edward Lane,

Capt, Gideon Oscar Lane's first voyage as master was in the barque " Arc
tic," From 1859 to 1862, he sailed in the ship "Martha," From 1862 to
1864, he commanded the ship "Templar," of Boston, In 1865, he became
master of the barque "Behring," in which he raade his last voyage.
Capt. Lane was an honorable representative of American shipmasters,
intelligent, prompt, enterprising and faithful to his trust, having the entire
confidence of his "owners," and winning the esteem of all with whom he
dealt. He was an example of that high-mindedness, patience and moral
heroism which always secures the safest results in business and the favor of all
true men. More than all, he exemplified the truth that, araid the severer
duties of life and the stern tasks of the sea, the gentler virtues that win the
home and cheer social existence, need not be clouded, but may grow brighter
by the wear of tirae and the hazards of an exposed life, Capt, Lane made
the entire circuit of the globe twenty-five tiraes, crossed the equator sixty
times, and in all his voyages sailed 630,000 statute miles.

Birthday Surprise Party. — Tuesday evening, Feb. 20, 1883, being the
fiftieth anniversary of the birthday of Miss C. A. Lane, some of her friends
arranged a surprise party, and about one hundred guests, including young and
old, assembled at her home to do honor to the occasion. About 8 o'clock
quite a delegation arrived from the city proper, helping to fill the spacious
rooms, and many and earnest were the greetings given Miss Lane from friends
and relatives who know and appreciate her raany excellent traits of character.
Beautiful flowers lent an added charm to the scene, and some admirable songs
frora Mr. H. H. Bennett were warmly applauded. Sorae of the elder ones
joined in dancing the "Virginia Reel, while Miss Helen Lane played the piano,
and Miss Lane led off the figure; those looking on said it was perforraed well.
Refreshraents were served at 10 o'clock, after which an original poem written
for the occasion by Mr. Geo. F. Griffin, was read, as follows: —
Fifty long years have passed away.
And life's meridian sun
Shines brightly on thy path to-day,
While still thou seemest young.
Thy natal month in robes of white
Is embleraatic of thy life;
'Neath snowy mantle hid from sight
Lie germs with richest beauty rife.
And in thy heart are garnered treasures
Which twine around thy dear old home.
Blessing the loved ones there with pleasures.
Forgetting not dear ones who roam.
Like the green ivy softly twining
Through ruins desolate and gray.
Thou would'st o'er all who are repining
Spread the fair garb of charity.
In the blue azure skies above
Bright stars of Hope and Faith e'er shine.
And in the generous heart true love
Cannot grow old, but lives through time.
The sun and shade of fifty years.
Have fallen on thy peaceful brow.
With times of sunshine, smiles and tears —
We would not trace them now.

F.4.MILY One Hundred Four. 315
For dear friends gathered, in the light
Of this your festal day.
Would banish every care from sight
And make the winter seem like May.
We may not shield thine onward path
Frora storms about thee driven;
But for the darkest days life hath,
We pray that strength be given,
What'er the future years contain.
Wherever we may be.
We ever dear shall hold thy name.
And e'er remember thee.
And raay the memories of this day,
Cluster around thine heart;
And pleasant recollections stay
With us, and ne'er depart.
The company dispersed at I2 o'clock, all agreeing it had been a very pleas
ant occasion. Mrs. J. A. Cunningham, a sister of Miss Lane, was present and
in her kindly manner did much to make every one happy. — Cape Ann Adver
tiser. WUUam F. Lane, Mrs, A. Maria Lane and Miss Charlotte A. Lane
were appointed, Aug. i, 1891, on a committee of repairs on the
old meeting house in Annisquam. The communion table was given
by Mrs. A, Maria Lane, the coUection pouches, by Mrs. WiUiam F.
Lane, the pulpit lamps by Miss JuUa Lane and committee on fair.
The re- dedication took place June 9, 1892. Miss Bertha A. Lane
was alto singer. Miss Charlotte A. Lane wrote the Historical
Sketch of the Parish, which was read by WiUiara F. Lane. The
original church covenant had been signed 164 years previous
[1728], by II members, aU males, araong whora were Samuel
Lane, John Lane and James Lane. Samuel Lane, Esq., was the
first superintendent of the Sunday School. The Historical Sketch
closed with the following original poera : —

"O, church of our fathers, God bless you to-night.
Thou symbol divine of truth and the right;
May each father's son, in succession's long line.
Keep guard o'er thy presence till the exit of time.

316 James Lane and Descendants,
O, church of our mothers, may your spirit increase.
Till all of their children shall find release
From sin and from sorrows that checquer life's way.
Growing purer and fairer unto life's perfect day,
O, God of all churches, in Thy infinite care,
O, keep and protect us, and each soul prepare
For the higher life which the angels have known,
And to meet all the loved ones in thy kingdom, 'called home.' "

" Capt, Gustavus A, Lane died at his home on Granite Street, yesterday,
[Nov. 8, 1894], after a long and trying illness. He belonged to an old
Gloucester family, being a son of Capt, Gustavus and Clarissa Lane of Annis
quam, where he was born and spent his early life. Coming from a faraily of
sea captains, he entered upon a sea-faring career, and soon rose to the rank of
captain, raaking raany foreign voyages, being for a while, however, in an inter
val of his experience at sea, employed in the granite business at Pigeon Cove.
He was a man of fine character and attractive qualities, and had the public
sympathy in the serious illness which compelled his retirement from active ser
vice in the prime of life."- — Gloucester Daily Transcript, Nov. g, i8g4.

Hon. ebenezer LANE" (Ebenezer'-*, Job', John*, James'),
was born at New Gloucester, Me., in 1793. He said, " Poverty is

Family One Hundred Fourteen. 327
a good thing to begin the world with, and if rjghtiy improved we
can learn something useful from it that we never would learn if born
rich." Ebenezer Lane, Jr,, of New Gloucester, wheelwright, paid his uncle. Job
Lane of Pejepscott, $200, with a mortgage for $250, Sept,, 22, 1814, for 30
acres of land with buildings in New Gloucester, it being the northeasterly half
of lot No, 20, in the proprietors' second division. The mortgage excepted the
right of dower to Peggy Lane, widow of Ebenezer Lane, Jr,, deceased. This
was the purchase by Mr, Lane the year he became of age, of a part of the
original lot on which his grandfather Lane had settled raore than half a century
before, thus securing a horae for his widowed raother. He became a prosper
ous merchant in New Orleans, La., and in Oxford, Ohio,
Lane Theological Seminary was chartered and a preparatory school opened
in 1829, Its organization was a part of a general scheme for the higher
education of the Mississippi valley. The Keraper family donated lands which
have proved of great value. The seminary possesses attractive buildings and
grounds at Walnut Hills, a suburb of Cincinnati. Ebenezer and Andrew Lane
gave $4,000.00 and the name to the institution. A theological department was
added in 1832, and it becarae the first school of theology in Ohio, Dr, Lyman
Beecher left his ministry in Boston to become its president and senior theologi
cal professor.
But the anti-slavery movement in 1834 brought an unexpected change to
affairs in the seminary. The board of trustees requested the discontinuance of
the local colonization and anti-slavery societies in the institution, and also the
cessation of all discussion of the subject of slavery. This the pupils refused
to do. They said, "The ground of our secession frora the seminary is that
free discussion and correspondent action have been prohibited by law," —
Signed by J I persons, Dec. 13, 1834.
A large majority of the students withdrew to Oberlin Collegiate Institute,
which was opened in 1833 and chartered in 1834. The students were accom
panied by Rev. Asa Mahan, the trustee who openly espoused their cause, and
by John Morgan, an instructor in the seminary. Mahan was chosen president
at Oberlin in 1835. Morgan was appointed professor of mathematics there,
and the same year Rev, Charles G, Finney was called frora New York to the
chair of theology,
Mr, Lane wrote of the seminary to Rev, James P, Lane, under date of Oct.
24, 1869:
" The plan of founding that institution originated with myself. My brother,
Andrew Lane, joined me in a donation to it. It has able professors and a good
library, and I trust has done good. But it has not raet my expectations. The
object of its establishment was to prepare indigent young men for the gospel
ministry; and the manual labor system was to be made a prominent feature of
the institution, by which young men could preserve their health and meet all

32.S James Lane and Descendants,
or nearly all their necessary expenses. But the manual labor department was
badly managed and was abolished. About this time the slavery question
caused much excitement and resulted in one of the best professors and about
sixty students leaving the institution and going to Oberlin, This was a heavy
blow to Lane Seminary, but was a great means of building up Oberlin, which
is now the largest and I think the best institution in the state, I still have the
strongest confidence in manual labor schools when well managed. But we all
know nothing prospers badly managed, I believe in educating the sexes to
gether, and the manual labor system made more prominent than it ever has
been in any institution. Twelve hours in the twenty-four should be equally
divided between study and labor. The health and expenses of the student
require six hours labor per day; and six hours devoted to mental culture will
enable a young man of fair talents to get a good education, — one who cannot
get it in this time is not worth educating. There are many young men and
woraen in the country who could obtain a liberal education by their own daily
labor, if suitable institutions were established. It is the poor we should assist
in rising in the world; the rich can take care of themselves, I have a good
farra here of 107 acres, and a house 38x76 feet, sufficiently large for the
beginning of a manual labor school, and would use it for this purpose if I could
get a suitable person to join me in establishing a school of this kind."
The remarkable career of Hon. Ebenezer Lane has given rise to several
attempts to tell his story in the form of fiction.
One account of his life was written by John Babson Lane Soule, and pub
lished in J. Friedman & Co.'s Monthly Gazette, Lewiston, Me., for February,
1874, The sketch is entitled " From Thistle Patch to Cincinnati," It pur
ports to give the life of one Robert Lane, who came at length to establish the
Lane Theological Seminary, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Ragged Bob, the village
vagabond, 16 or 17 years of age, is noticed, lectured, advised and encouraged
by lawyer Samuel Fessenden. " And now, Robert," said the Esquire, as the
boy was leaving his door, "the ne)^t time I hear from you, let me hear sorae
thing good. Above all things get out of Thistle Patch." Bob runs away, gets
a job, studies, takes a school, succeeds, marries one of his pupils, goes to New
Orleans, becomes a prosperous merchant, returns wealthy at Cincinnati, and
endows the seminary.
Another narrative is the raore ambitious romance published among " The
Teraperance Tales," by Lucius Manlius Sargent, and entitled "Kitty Grafton."
The scene is laid in Heathermead End, and Parson More tells the story. The
beautiful and accoraplished Christiana Jansen, only child of respected and
wealthy parents, weds and brings home Ethan Grafton, a thrifty farmer's son,
Happy, prosperous years go swiftly by. Sons and daughters bless the home.
The godly grandparents die, leaving ample estates and a reputable standing to
the family. But farmer Grafton's orchard and his cider, good as wine, proves
ultiraately his ruin, morally and financially. At length thrift, comfort and
happiness forsake the household, and years of sheer misery and domestic war-

Family One Hundred Four'teen. 329
fare ensue. In the midst of it all, while still a young man, the prodigal hus
band falls from his horse and breaks his neck. He is buried from the poor
house, followed to a pauper's grave by his eldest son Elkanah as chief and
only mourner. The once brilliant belle of Heathermead End is left a widow,
crazed and broken hearted, and her children are left to a cottage of destitution,
ignorance and misery, Ethan Grafton's cider was equal to wine,
Elkanah Grafton is kept marvellously pure and helpful through all his child
hood of degradation and wretchedness, the only stay of the family. Now
nearly 17 years of age, he develops much good sense and wise forecast.
He plans to leave home and seek his fortune. Kind friends and wise
counsellers appear in Job Rawlins, the shoemaker, Ashur Mellen, the
nearest farraer, and in Parson More and wife at the parsonage. One early
raorning hour, Elky turned his back upon Heathermead End. His
traveling outfit was superlatively simple. A sraall bundle, but containing his
grandfather's pocket bible and swung over his shoulder on his grandfather's
oaken staff, comprised his whole earthly possessions.
More than six months elapse when, one day, to the great delight of parson
age and shoe shop, the post brought a double letter from Elkanah. The lad
was in New York city; had been porter in a store, had purchased a hand-cart,
then a horse and dray, had learned to write and cipher and keep accounts;
and the thankful youth had enclosed twenty dollars for his raother and the
children. Letters and remittances followed every three or four months.
By the end of fourteen months he had sold his horse and dray and was re
ceived to the counting room of A. I. McFinnison & Co. The firm did an
extensive business in the West, and at the end of two years their trusted clerk
was at New Orleans and established in business on his own account. When
five years had passed, Elkanah Grafton visits Heathermead with abundant
means, benevolent purposes and established Christian integrity. His presence
was a benediction to the entire hamlet. Mother's cottage, neighbors' shop and
farm and parsonage all share in his benign ministrations, while the brothers
and sisters are sent to school and college.
Many years passed away, Elkanah still lived, opulent, respected and be
loved — the benefactor of his fellow men. In a distant part of our country
there is a fountain of learning and piety whose streams have gone forth to
refresh and invigorate the world. The Christian student raingles with his
thanksgiving to the Most High God, his grateful recollections of its patron —
that wandering boy who, having no earthly father to corafort and guide him,
became the child of God — a steward of the poor, a benefactor of mankind.
Such was Elkanah Grafton,

Boston and Gloucester; unm,, artist, d. of cancer, 13 Aug., 1865,
se. 60 yrs., 8 ms., buried at Oak Grove, Gloucester.
"At the age of eighteen months, while playing in the yard or garden of his
father, Fitz H, Lane ate sorae of the seeds of the apple-peru, and was so un
fortunate as to lose the use of his lower limSs in consequence, owing to late
and unskilful medical treatment. He showed in boyhood a talent for draw
ing and painting, but received no instruction in the rules till he went to Boston,
at the age of twenty-eight, to work in Pendleton's lithographic establishment.
From that time his taste and ability were rapidly developed; and, after a resi
dence of several years in Boston, he came back to Gloucester with a reputa
tion fully established. Since his return to his native town he has painted
many pictures, all of which have been much admired. He has often con
tributed a production of his pencil for the promotion of a benevolent enter
prise. With characteristic kindness he furnished the sketches for the en
gravings of Babson's History of Gloucester," — John J. Babson.

His pastor. Rev, Otis H, Johnson, said, " Brother Lane was one of the
raost distinguished citizens of Leeds, For raany years he was untiring in his
exertions in every public enterprise within his reach which had for its object
the welfare of his fellow raen. As a Christian he was outspoken and faithful

The emigrant Herreshoff' was from a prominent faraUy of
Dessau, Prussia, and carae as a scientific engineer to Providence in
the last century. He ra. a daughter of John Brown of Providence,
a steady patriot, who provided the boats that sailed down Narra-
ganset Bay, on the night of June 9, 1772, and burned the British
armed schooner " Gaspee," as she lay aground, and who belonged
to the family of Hon. Nicholas Brown, who gave its name to Brown
University. Mr. Herreshoff moved down the bay from Providence
and settied araong the trees on Popasquast point, opposite Bristol.

LEWIS; she b, in Boston, Mass,, 20 Mar,, i8ii. Mrs, Herreshoff
is living in Bristol, still, 1897, in a bright and cheerful old age,
A few yachtsmen and the people of Bristol know the Herreshoffs
man from man ; the numerous inlanders know only " the Herre
shoffs," as a dim aggregation of genius that designs and builds
extraordinary saiUng craft There are nine of the Herreshoffs,
seven brothers and two sisters. Four of them are bUnd. Two of
the brothers are Connected with the yacht-building works founded
in 1864. These two men have built up their business and made a
name in a single generation. They come rightly by their love for
the sea, but they did not inherit their reputation. The fame of the
"Gloriana," the "Vamose," the "Defender," and the "Colurabia,"
has fallen, curiously enough, upon an entire faraily. If the Herre
shoffs are cut off frora outside associations by their natural reserve,
they cling together as a family in a reraarkable degree. — Ray Stan-

" Capt. George E.- Lane died at his home on Leonard street, Sunday after
noon, aged about 69 years.
"The long vigil is ended, the nights of weariness and suffering are done; and,
cold and still and at rest, he lies among all the beautiful tokens of a busy and
happy home life. Released from the burdens of poor frail huraanity, the
promise of Easter fulfilled, a new life, brighter, happier and immortal, is his
forevermore. What this loss means to the home left desolate, to wife and
sisters and son, we cannot measure in its depth and fullness. But out of our
sorrow for the friend and neighbor and citizen we can so illy spare, we offer
our truest sympathy, to those who sit in the shadow of a great and bitter grief.
Other pens can tell more truly the story of his busy, useful life. Though born

in Boston, this was his home from early childhood, and here he came at the
close of his active outside life to spend his remaining years. He was a suc
cessful and enterprising navigator, and rose rapidly in his profession. He cora-
raanded sorae very fine clipper ships and the steamships of the Pacific Mail
Service, running between San Francisco and Yokohama. In every place he
was the sarae high-toned, huraane and Christian gentleraan that we knew hira
to be in his later life. He had the welfare of his nation on his heart, and no
good word or work found him wanting. Funeral services will be held at his
late home either Wednesday or Thursday." — Cape Ann Breeze, Tuesday,

compared with the regular, authorized rates. He was the first coraraander in
1637 of "the railitary company of Mass.," chartered in 1638, the oldest band
of citizen soldiery in America, to which the name "Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Corapany" was applied in 1720, Capt, Robert Keayne was deputy

He left large bequests to public uses, among which were legacies for the
erection of a town hall where the old state house now stands, for the founding
of an alms house and for building a granary; and he supplemented these
legacies by other gifts. He further provided that his granddaughter Anna
Keayne, "be disposed of for her future education unto some such wise and
Godly mistress or family where she raay have her carnal disposition most of all
subdued and reformed by strict discipline; and also that they would show like
care and assistance in seasonable tirae to provide some fit and Godly match
proportionate to her estate and condition, that she raay live corafortably and
be fit to do good in her, place, and not to suffer herself to be circumvented or
to cast herself away upon some swaggering gentleman or other that will look
more after enjoying what she hath than live in the fear of God and true love
to her."
The wUl, dated at Boston, Dec. 28, 1653, naraes "ray son. Major Benjarain
Keayne, to be sole executor thereof," and Edward Lane to oversee its execu
tion. "Last sheet of my Will, Page 36 or sides of paper, all of it, yea evy

Letter. "To the WorshipfuU Jn" Winthrop, Esq., Governor, present at
Hartford :
Mrs. Lane intreateth your worshipp to send her sorae advice & medicine for

much pained at times. She desires to present her servis to you & Mrs,

Governor at Hartford."
Edward Lane was credited to the estate of Robert Battle, Nov.
13, 1660. With Ann his wife he sold for ;£200, Dec. 7, 1663, and
Feb. 13, 1663-4, an estate of 40 acres in Maiden to Richard Dexter,
the earliest American ancestor of that family. The courts reach a
settieraent in the case between Edward Lane and Mrs. Keayne,
Oct. 10, 21, 1669.
Meanwhile Mr. Lane had died. He had occupied a high social
position, was a man of wealth and business capacity and a strict
Puritan. He was sorely tried and subject to many harsh imputa
tions against his character in settiing the large estate of Capt.
Robert Keayne, but he was finally sustained and his conduct
thoroughly vindicated.

The chUdren of Edward and Anna (Keayne) Lane, were :
I. Anna*, "borne 5 th of October, 1660, . . . deceased 27 June,
1661." II. Edward, Jr.*, "borne 20 Feb'. 1661-2." — Boston Record.
Mrs. Anna (Keayne) Lane survived her husband many years and
ra. second, Col. NICHOLAS PAIGE.
Nicholas Paige c^xae. from Plymouth, England, to Boston as early as 1665.
He was appointed captain of a troop in the expedition against Mt. Hope,
June 27, 1675, was of the Artillery Company in 1693, and later its com
mander and colonel of the 2d Suffolk regiment of Foot.
"At a county court for Suffolk held at Boston, 29 Janur Ao 1683: The
Executors within norainated of the last will of Capt. Robert Keayne, some
time of Boston deed, hereto annexed, being both dead, power of Admcn of ye

The joint will of Nicholas and Anna (Keayne) Lane-Paige was
signed in 1703. Gov. Joseph Dudley heard of the death of his
niece whUe sitting at the Council Board, June 30, 1704. "As the
governour sat at the council table 'twas told him Madam Paige was
dead. He drop'' his hands & quickly went out and returned not
to the charaber again, but ordered Mr, Secretary to prorogue the
courts tUl the 16''' of August, which Mr, Secretary did by going
into the House of Deputies." — Diary of Samuel Sewall.
We read this sad record concerning Anna (Keayne) Lane-Paige.
"She poorly repaid the care and attention that had been given for
her education and happiness, exhibiting in her character and con
duct the traits of her raother."
Col. Paige d. at Rumney Marsh, now Chelsea, Mass., and was
buried from Capt, Oliver's, 29, 6, 1717. He had no -child.

2.
EDWARD LANE* (Edward'). The son of Edward Lane',
after his mother's second marriage, probably changed his name to
Edward Paige. This accounts for the form of tbe inscription in
the Scottish chapel at Leyden, HoUand, undoubtedly commemora
tive of him. "Here lieth buried Edward Paige,
only son of Nicholas and Anna Paige,
born at Boston in New England,
Feb, 20, 1622, died in Leyden, Nov. I,
1680. N. S,"
The date of birth should read 1662.
