Notes:
Mary Helen Haines notes:
The origins of Robert Lane's family are obscure. Since the article below says he is the son of Irish immigrants. Since he was born in NY in 1815 I went looking at NY census records and immigration records. Nothing conclusive so far.
The earliest land record of Robert H. Lane is in 1850 when he purchases land from the Rowell Lee headright for $603. on credit from James Journey. Book D, p. 236. He then goes on to purchase many pieces of property over the years.
From the book, A History of Fannin County, by Floy Hodge, pub. 1966, p. 199: Col. R.H. Lane--"The son of Irish immigrants moved to Fannin County in 1849. Colonel R.H. Lane (1815-1872), a lawyer from Missouri, brought his wife Rebecca McFarland Lane (1820-1895) and family. Lane fought in the Mexican War under General Price from the Third Regiment of Missouri. Children of R.H. and Rebecca Lane were John G. (b. 1841); Emily (b. 1853); Robert P. (b. 1844); and James Newton (1845-1906), who was married to Nancy Daniel Locke (b. 1848-and d. 1902), daughter of Richard Locke. James and Nancy were parents of Robert H., Samuel, John G., Mary B., Lillie and Charles T."
