Greetings to the list and thanks in advance for any help received. I am searching for my LANE connections in the Newton and Jasper Counties of Missouri. Basically, here is what I know. LANE, Elijah 1870 Newton County Missour census. Page 480 of the Shoal Creek township, Federal Population Schedule, MO 1870 Federal Census Index, MO298123758 and MO298123759 I don't have the census information yet to verify this is my Elijah, but it fits so far. Came from Perry County Illinois where they were on the census of 1840, 1850, and 1860. His wife is Elizabeth. Their son John B LANE (changed his middle name to Daniel during the war) is listed in Perry County Illinois with them. He served in the Missouri State Militia and the 14th Missouri Volunteer Cavalry. Afterward he married Suphronia Elizabeth KIRBY in Uniontown, Bourbon County, Kansas. My GGrandmother, Ora Suphronia LANE was born 2 Nov 1880, in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri. LANE, John D (B) was a foreman for Carter's Mill. He died on 16 Aug 1889, and his men built him a fine wooden coffin. He was buried by (near) the new schoolhouse being built for Carter(s)ville. My GGrandmother did not mention what state they lived in at the time, but circumstantial evidence would indicate Jasper and Newton County areas. We deeply appreciate any and all responses and thank you so much for all that each of you do. Best Wishes to each of you during this holiday season.
