My father Christian Ray McLane was born 1889 Harlem Springs,Ohio to Ross Talbot McLane and Elva Jane Best. Ross Talbot McLane father was John Ross McLane and Adeline Talbot daughter of Thomas F. Talbot and Henrietta Allen. The Talbot family can trace its line back to England , to Ninth Earl of Shrewsbury Lord John Talbot. George Talbot 6th Earl of Shrewsbury ,(c1339-1590) was an English solider and he took part in the <Rough Wooing> of Scotland along with Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset. From 1569-1584 he was entrusted by Queen Elizabeth I with custody of Mary Queen of Scots(mother of James VI of Scotland and of England). He was the fourth husband of the famous Bess Hardwick. Charles Talbot ,12th Earl of Shrewsbury was a stateman under Charles II and James II but gave money to William of Orange and did much to bring about the revolution of 1688 which saw the end of the Stewarts and the begining of the Jacobite cause. He was created a Duke ! Only in America ! http://www.genealogy.org/~liam/sea2.html http://www.mexia.com/mcclain/home.htm http://www.toto.com/christian_insight/GracePage.htm
