    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WCC.2ACE/4243.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Margie: I will be happy to do so. Just give me a few days. I went thru some of my notes yesterday and found a couple of sites you might want to check on Eleanor but I think there is a couple of other sites I have, also. I should get back with you by this weekend. I don't remember any of the sites (other than rootsweb's family trees) listing William Lane as a spouse but they could have as it has been a little while seen I have viewed those sites. Anyway, they might help you to determine if this is the Eleanor you're looking for. Do you have any info on William or Eleanor at all? She was buried in Tyler Co under her maiden name. She was 81 when she died which leads me to think she might have been one of those "unusual" (although I'm finding thru research that they were not so unusual afterall) divorces at that time since she did not go with Samuel to Meigs Co, Ohio. That's why I am not sure if this is the same Eleanor or not as Samuel's wife. Also trying to determine ! that if she were married to William Lane was it before or after Samuel and why was she buried under her maiden name. Wow---do you every wish you could talk to your ancestors for even just an hour. If nothing else I wish I had been interested enough to ask alot of questions when at least some of my great aunts were still around. Char
