Surname Saturday ~ LANE of Boston, Massachusetts and Hampton, New Hampshire

LANE

William Lane (about 1621 – 1715), the immigrant, was my 9th great grandfather.  He was a cordwainer in Boston, Massachusetts and had two wives named Mary.  The first wife’s maiden name was unknown, and the second wife was Mary Brewer (my 9th great grandmother), daughter of Thomas Brewer and Elizabeth Graves.  Her sister, Sarah Brewer, was the wife of Thomas Webster, who removed to Hampton, New Hampshire.   William Lane was made a freeman in Boston 6 May 1657.

William Lane, Jr. (1659 – 1749) and his wife, Sarah Webster, were first cousins, and my 8th great grandparents.  Their names are on a 1681 list of the members of the 2nd Church (the Old North Church) in Boston, and after that they removed to Hampton, New Hampshire and settled near Sarah’s father, Thomas Webster.  William Lane was a tailor.

I descend from William Lane, Jr’s son Samuel Lane (1698 – 1776) who married Elizabeth Blake, my 7th great grandparents.   They lived in Hampton Falls, and all three of their first children died of throat distemper on 2 August 1735.  Samuel Lane was a farmer.  Samuel Lane, Jr. (1741 – 1822) was my 6th great grandfather.
