"Sometime before the year 1680 Major Samuel Lane was in the service of the King of England in the Province of Maryland. His will, dated 1681 and recorded at Annapolis, names his wife Margaret, daughters Grace and Sarah, and identical with that Samuel Lane, whose will was probated in 1715 at Annapolis, but this is not certain; while Dutton Lane married Pretitia Tidings before 1700 and had issue by her of, probably among other children, a son named Richard, who was the father in 1724 of a son named Tidings or Tidence, who removed with his parents to Virginia and thence to North Carolina. The last married Hester Bibbin in Virginia in 1743 and removed with her to Tennessee. He had at least five sons, Isaac, John, Aquilla, Samuel, and Tidence Jr., and evidently had a son named Dutton, as well."

Ancient Ancestors-Abt.1400-1560
As of October, 1994, we are unable to find a document supported connection to ancestors before about 1560. However, we do know the family of our interest was located around Northampton and Hereford, England and had been at this location for many years. They are known as the Orlingbury Manor 'Lane' family line. With this knowledge, we are able to isolate for study a family from which our Missouri family probably evolved. The data is outlined as follows:
Around 1425, William Lane, a resident of County Northampton, married Anne Sutton. They became the parents of William(1) Lane of Northampton. He probably died about 1460.
William(1) Lane married Elizabeth Strickland,around 1450. They had four sons; Ralph, William(2), John and George. Ralph, the oldest son inherited from his father, but died without progeny. William(2) became heir to his brother Ralph.
William(2) of Orlingbury Manor, Northampton County, England married Jane Mervyn. They had issue of at least two sons; Sir Ralph(1) and Sir William(3).
William(2) died in 1502. Sometime after 1546, Sir Ralph(1) Lane married Maud Parr and became parents of Sir Robert, Sir Ralph(2), Sir William(4), Frances, Mary and other daughters whose names have been lost. Sir Ralph(1) probably died by 1570.
No records have been found concerning Sir William(4) Lane or his offspring, for the period of about 1525 to 1560. He appears to be a probable ancestor for our Missouri family line. He was of the right family
lineage, at the proper location and of the right age. Since Sir William(4) was a younger son of Sir Ralph(1) and did not inherit from his father and his activities were over-shadowed by Sir Ralph(2), perhaps such records were not maintained or have been lost.
Our relative Roger Lane was born around 1560 and is believed to have been a son of Sir William(4).
The progeny of Sir Ralph(1) and Maud Parr evolved into family branches centered around Northamton, Hereford and London. The descendents of these lines eventually spread throughout the British Isles. They were in considerable part landed gentry and holders of public offices in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Many of this Lane line came to America in early Colonial times.
Apparently the first of the family to come to America was Sir Ralph(2) Lane of the Orlingbury Manor, Northampton family line. He was the son of Sir Ralph(1) and Maud Parr. He was a mariner who sailed from Plymouth England in 1585. With Sir Richard Grenville, he founded a colony at Roanoke Island in what is now a part of North Carolina. He was the first Governor of the Colony. The colony was not successful and broke up before 1600. Sir Ralph(2) returned to Ireland where he died in 1604. Shortly after 1607 several members of the Lane family and closely related to Sir Ralph(2) emigrated to the Jamestown area of Virginia. They became established there. Others of this family lineage aided in permanent settlements in North Carolina.
A Job Lane of Herfordshire, England came to Malden, Massachusetts in 1635 and became an ancestor to a family branch in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The first emigrant forebearer of record, of the Missouri Lane family was Samuel(1), who came to Anne Arundel County Maryland in 1664. From these and other records, we know the Lane family was active in the early exploring and settlements in America. The progeny of these early settlers spread the family throughout the United States of America.
