Biography
1705 - Birth estimated. Possibly named for Edward Garland who lived near Thomas Lane.
- Marriage: : Married a Dumas in 1735, possibly the daughter of Jeremiah Dumas of Hanover or daughter of Benjamin Dumas of Louisa. Either way, this Lane was related to Edward Lane who was a neighbor of a Dumas family in 1749. [1]
1743 - Edward Lane listed as processioner in newly created Louisa County VA.
24 Feb 1746 - Louisa OB1, pg 222: Leighbon Wood & Co. sued Edward Lane. pg 229: Edward charged ten pounds, four shillings & seven pence.
27 Jun 1749 - Louisa Co. DB A, pg 347: Edward Lane & Elizabeth his wife to Thomas Poindexter, 400a on South Side of Little River, for 70lbs, adj. Dumas & Brown's lines. Wits: Wm Pollard, George Thomason, Israel Snoad.[2]
28 Aug 1753 - Louisa Co VA - Edward sells 100 acres to Thomas Poindexter, Louisa Co VA. This time, Elizabeth does not sign nor is she mentioned.[3]
17 Sep 1750 - Louisa County: DB A, pg 412. Edward Lane a witness for deed from George Gibson to Jeremiah Dumas 230a for 40lbs, beginning at Gibsons Mill Dam on his Mill Creek... Licking Hole Creek to the upper side of the Mill Creek. Also receipt from Benj. Harris for 40lbs...
15 Dec 1755 - Louisa Co VA DB D p 37 - Edward Lane makes a deed of enslaved persons to five of his children.[4] In the deed book, the deed is dated 15 Dec 1755 and recorded the same day. Somehow the date 22 Mar 1747 has been given for this deed, without citation; it was probably assigned the 1747 date by misreading the deed entry immediately above it, which is a deed between Thomas Collins and John Dowell which is dated 12 Mar 1747 and recorded 22 Mar 1747.
The children named in 15 Dec 1755 deed are:
- Mary, wife of Thomas Freeman (receives boy Frank, age 12)
- Elizabeth Lane (receives girl Venice, age 7)
- Sarah Lane (receives girl Judea, age 2)
- Littleberry Lane (receives woman Caign, age 30)
- Edward Lane (receives girl Lucy, age 9)
Research Notes
The youngest children Unity Lane and Dumas Lane did not inherit land in the same manner, possibly due to their age at the time. Because no deeds were made for them author Floyd Benjamin Layne assumed that these children had different parents.
English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records of Quit Rent Rolls of 1704: Thomas Lane of Surry and Thomas Lane, Jr of Surry AND Thomas Lane of New Kent Co, p. 167. New Kent is adjacent to Hanover and Surry/Sussex is 70 miles away. (These 2 Thomas Lanes are different persons… living 70 miles apart.)

Backstory - The Lanes are not my direct line, but I have known through careful research that my ancestor Sevena Whittle married Edward Lane after the death of her first husband, James Flanagan, in 1752.
While it should have occurred to me, I never really thought about Sevena having more children, with Edward. But of course she was a young woman, so it makes sense. I'm sleuthing, exploring and documenting this newfound group of half-cousins many times removed.
What I really want to find is proof for all the purported children that were born of that union claimed in the Layne-Lain-Lane genealogy published back in the 1930's - still working on it, I only just started.
I'd like to merge my Edward Lane into your Edward Lane and clean them up at the same time, because right now my Edward is the conflation. So I need to separate the sources to the proper profiles.
There is also a profile for Sevena (Vinah-1) based solely on the Layne-Lain-Lane genealogy. It has Sevena listed as Edward Jr's wife, and in WikiTree she's been assigned the maiden name Vinah, but that was her nickname; in the book, it's clear that the author did not know her last name and instead used "________" - but this was misconstrued when someone created the Vinah-1 WikiTree profile.
Anyway, I have attached Sevena (Whittall) Flanagan (profile Whittall-560) to Edward Lane-236. You can easily see the research I've been conducting on her.
Unity Lane married Will Horton on 19 Feb 1757 at St. James Northam Church.
Dumas Lane married Mary Norman Dicken, daughter of John Dicken, b. ca. 1728, Virginia. They had the following children: Edward, James, John, Richard Norman, Joseph Perrin, Mary, Ann Dicken, Ephraim, and Ralph.
Note: I am a direct descendant of Dumas Lane.
