Searching for information on Samuel LANE [c1800-1859], his wife, Rody (---) [d bef 1850], and their 3 known children: William Riley LANE [b 1836] Mary A LANE [1841-1904] John LANE [b c1845-d c1877] Samuel LANE first found by me on 1850 Beaufort Co, NC Census with his 3 children and no wife listed. His will dated 3 Apr 1859 mentions "there is about three hundred dollars in the hand of the B---- and MARTES in Wilson that he got from the sale of a piece of land that belonged to my last wife". Have not been able to find information in Wilson Co, NC on this land transaction. Maybe the sale of property actually took place in a nearby county. Samuel LANE and Rody (---) are my 2 GGrandparents and my brick walls. Rae Jean in sunny and warm Memphis.
