Advice before adding child of this pre-1700 Lane profile?

Question

I can add a child to the profile of John Lane. This is who I can add:

• David Lane

These are the sources I am using:

• Halifax DB 7 336-306  10 Dec 1760 Granville Grant to Joseph Pierce and David Lane, planters of Halifax 680 ac joining Edward Crowell, Col (Joseph) Lane, David Lane, Joseph Pierce

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Answer 1

Hi Dorothy. You have to be careful you are not mixing that John Lane with John Lane as the one your asking about has the Joyner's as spouses of his children mentioned in his Bio. Those Joyner's are spouse's of John Lane's children already.

Note: the will of John Lane has been moved recently to the John Lane your asking about. But John Lane brought proceedings over land and he mentions his grandfather Barnaby McKinnie and mother Patience. This John Lane mentions his children who married the Joyners in his will. Its the birth dates that are out and causing confusion.

Eric, It would help if you used some sort of designation as to the two Johns.  I describe them as John (1698-1776), son of Joseph & Julian.   He wrote a will in Halifax, which includes his children who married into the Joyners.  The second John (1724-1777), son of Joseph and Patience.  He received property from his mother Patience in 1755 and he from Craven County, South Carolina sold some property to his brother Joel in abt 1764. Y-chromosome DNA evidence shows that Osborne Lane of Marion County, South Carolina is part of this family.  Therefore it is very likely that the second John stayed in South Carolina and is the father of Osborne.  Please look at Family Tree DNA Lane surname project, group 11 https://www.familytreedna.com/public/lane/default.aspx?section=yresults

Thanks for your help, Dorothy

Dorothy, the John' are designated: the john that has the children that married Joyner's is hot linked, just hover the cursor over the name John Lane. Its green and underlined.

Please also remember at the time it was the English deffinition of the Carolinas and the way they saw it at the time. See this Map. Craven district in the Province of South Carolina: See Here most of the area is now present day North Carolina, it was eliminated 1768. John Lane was never in South Carolina as you now know it. Blame the English

Answer 2

There are more Lane's that married into the line of Barnaby Mckinnie. Patience isn't the only one. DNA is only an indication that far back. My own DNA absolutely only indicates with certainty my 1st cousins, after that its research through Primary and Secondary records. Certainty of DNA is only good as research we do.
