I am looking for information on a Lane Family that were in Surry County NC. from 1790 to 1839. Possibly of Cherokee decent. My GG Grandfather was Maridy Lane born abt.1805 in North Carolina (Possibly Surry County) , died 12-06-1895 in Pike County, Ky. The story of my GG Grandfather Maridy Lane goes like this. He is believed to have been a Dobson later changed his name to Maridy Lane. Maridy Lane Married Margarett Phillips 11-14-1839 in Pike County Ky. Margarett Phillips was the Daughter of Zachary Phillips and Elizabeth Charles both born in NC and moved to Kentucky. I have a copy of the will of Charles Taliforro (not sure if the last name is spelled correct) that Maridy Lane had witnessed in 1837 in Surry County NC. Also interested in a Griss Mill in Surry Co. that was referred to as Lane Mill. If you have any information that may help me in my search it would be greatly appreciated.
