There is a understandable mixup in the previous message which stated: "Sarah E. LANE connects to Joseph
LANE b. 1786 in VA died 10/19/1864
Early County."
Sarah E. LANE was the daughter of Joseph William
LANE (b. Sept 4, 1816 in
Caswell Co.,NC and d. Oct 19, 1864 in
Early Co.,GA) and
Cloe Elizabeth (
Sheffield)
LANE (b. March 24, 1825 in
Early Co.,GA and d. April 21, 1892 in
Early Co.,GA).
Sarah E. LANE was the granddaughter of Joseph William
LANE (b.1788 in RockbridgeCo.,VA and d. 1864 in
Early Co.,GA) and Sarah (
Sallie) (
Rice)
LANE (b. 1791 in
Caswell Co.,NC and d.1872 in
Early Co.,GA).
It was Sarah E. LANE's father who died on Oct 19, 1864, not her grandfather. It was her grandfather that was married to Sarah (
Rice)
LANE.
I have been to
Early Co.,GA and visited the cemetery where many of the
LANEs are buried, including Sarah E's father and grandfather. The above dates were taken from the old tombstone in the
Blakely cemetery.
Also, you may be interested in the following note that I received in Aug 1999 from Joan
Herndon who lives in
Early County and is involved in its early history:
"A Memorial was erected in the
Cedar Springs Cemetery....I believe Mattie
Crawford LANE erected this marble wall of names and she is deceased....In her later life she married Mr. Lawrence
LANE and I have met him in his lifetime......He was old when he married Mattie.......
Listed on the marble---Sarah
