L. Hull, 1906, p. 16 "The late Mrs. HODGSON's house, below the carriage shops, was first the home of Sterling LANE, son of old Jonathan LANE, one of the first white men living west of the Oconee River. Sterling LANE was a young man of fine promise. He read law with Mr. UPSON, of Lexington, and was admitted to the bar, but preferred commerce to the law and after building a home and a prosperous business died in 1820 of typhus fever, universally regretted. His father planted the large cedars in the yard when they were mere switches." William LUMPKIN bought Sterling LANE'S house. Also, according to Hull's Annals of Athens, Sterling LANE designed the seal for the University of Georgia. Theophilus Sterling LANE was the son of Jonathan LANE and a grandson of Jesse LANE and Winnifred AYCOCK LANE. My g-g-grandfather, Theophilus S. LUCKIE, was named after T. S. Lane. Glenn B. RAY
