Malcolm- I believe this is incorrect and is probably the basis for the family lore about the ZANEs having "Indian blood." The record I have for Robert ZANE is that he first married Margaret HAMMOND in Dublin, Ireland in 1664 and the first son Nathaniel ZANE was born in Dublin in 1670. Margaret died on the voyage to America and Robert married Alice ALDAY in 1679. She must have died shortly thereafter because he married Elizabeth WILLIS in Flushing Long Island in 1681 and in 1682 son Robert was born in Newton Twp., Gloucester County, NJ.
