Biography
1772 Birth
Discussion This man spent time in Halifax with his Uncle William and the Mullins and the Hamptons. He apparently had a son named Royal who moved with William's sons to Cocke County TN as proven by DNA. He was not a purchaser of items from the estate of John Lane Jr. in Wilson County TN.
1797 Marriage to Mary Watts Mullins, daughter of David Mullins
22 Dec 1797 John Lane buys 100a for 30 pounds from Moses Lawson on droughts of Terrible Creek. DB 18 pg 43. Adj. N. Gwinn, Fontain's line, Ragland, Thos. Lane. The follow up statement states that David Mullins and his wife are allowed to live on the land for their natural lives. Halifax County, VA.
24 Sep 1807 John Lane Jr. of Halifax sells 100a on Terrible Creek to John Jackson Jr. of Halifax. Land borders Thomas Guthrie, Henry Baptist(?), Thomas Hall(?), bordering Hall and Lane's line. Wits: Jn H. Wimbish, Ab(?) Lyonen(?), Charles Bostick. Polly wife relinq Halifax Co. VA.
Family Lore As spelled out in Floyd Benjamin's Book, John Lane moved to Wilson County after selling his land in Halifax. This was stated by Fanny Lane-Rippy his granddaughter in 1935, in her 85th year. Her father was Thornton Lane, son of John.
Buncombe It seems as if the Mullins family moved to Buncombe County NC for a while. There was another John Lane in that county, not to be confused with our current subject. After Buncombe, David and family moved to Wilson county to be with the Lanes again.
