Addison Lane m. Sally Dennis, probably in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Moved to Indiana, Lebanon area, early 1800s. Moved to Travis County, Texas ca. 1845/46. Son Addison Earldom Lane was my ggrandfather. Searching for any connections outside my direct line of descent.

I can certainly help you. My GGGGrandfather was his brother.

In fact, there were 4 Lane brothers that lived in Lebanon, Indiana at that time. They also had at least one sister that moved to Boone County. The family's history is very well documented in the area. Addison's brother, Levi Lane, was the clerk for over 40 years.

Addison & Sally were my GGGrandparents. Their son Addison Earldom was my GGrandfather. His wife's name was Mary Jane (Eppright) but she went by Jennie. She called him 'Ully,' which is most likely 'Early' with a Southern drawl. Jennie Lane Park in Manor, Texas is named for her. A. E. gave the land for the park.

Their children who survived to adulthood were Pauline (known as 'Pinky'), Frances Rust, David, Mary Ann (known as 'Mal' or 'Marie'--my grandmother) Walls Earldom, Gertrude (known as 'Trudie'), & John Wright. Frances, Mary Ann, Walls, Gertrude, & John all have surviving descendants. If you'd like to correspond with your distant cousins contact me at c.f.eckhardt@sbcglobal.net
