I would not be surprised if we are related. My great grandmother and some of her children and their families went to Arcola, IL about 1915 for some reason. I have not been able to figure why. I know that my grandfather, Thomas Leroy Lane worked for Roy Edgar on a farm. Roy Edgar also had racing horses with sulkies. My mother remembered riding on them with her father. I also think some of the Halls who lived in that area may be related. Alice Lamb, wife of Frank Lamb was my gr grandmother's sister. Samuel Taylor Gammon and Janie Trotter Gammon are buried in the cemetery at Arcola. Those are the parents of my gr grandmother Mary Angeline (Gammon) Lane. Do you know who the parents of your James H. Lane were?

I have loads of Lanes but not one Thomas Lane/ Layne. I have nothing on Roy or any Edgars, but my great grand father (Edward Adams) was also engaged in raising and "trading" racing horses. Greatest family story is that he "sold" horses to Jesse James while off in Kansas City. My Great aunt , Lena Stoller married a Robert Allen Hall in Arthur ILL about 1889. Their children were Eva, Emerson "Bob",Horace Edwin, Arva, and John .Lena remarried a Mr. Reed. I have a Jane Trotter b. about 1846 but she married a Mr. Mulvain and was the daughter of Hiram Trotter and Miss Heming. I have two Lambs, Mary b. 1835 that married Andrew T. Shinall 1855 in Washington county ILL. They are buried in the Bethel Darter Cem. Beaucoup Twp. Washington county ILL. The other is Emaline b. 1827 ILL married to Absolom Adams 1846 Clark county ILL.In both cases, I do have no more on them. The parents of James H. Lane Jr. were James H. Lane Sr. b1798 VA d. 1871 Lawrence co. IN buried Orange county occu. shoemaker and Milly Gibbs b. 1800 KY d. after 1880 Arthur ILL. His parents were Sherrod Lane and Sarah Estes and his were Jacob Lane/Layne and Mary Bradshaw. These are the Goochland county VA Laynes.
