Surnames: Black, King, Lane Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AiB.2ACE/1085 Message Board Post: I read in a message posted November 11, 2001 that Elizabeth B. King who was married to Thomas Henry Lane until his death in 1860 actually gave Freestone County, Texas it's name. According to other postings Elizabeth B. King was a female physician. I also read that her son James King Lane was a methodist minister, held a seat on the Texas Legislature and that the town of Lanely, Texas (which I believe to be in Freestone County) was named after him. I am looking for some confirmation that this is correct. I cannot find any information to substantiate the above claims. I also can't find anything on Elizabeth B. King after Thomas' death in 1860. Any information would be helpful.
