THE DAR APPLICATION BASED ON THE
REVOLUTIONARY WAR SERVICE RECORD
OF JOHN LANE SR. OF BEDFORD CO., PA
~ INDEX PAGE ~
DEAR INTERNET READERS:
This DAR application has led many researchers astray on
the genealogy or family history for collateral surnames and LANE,
including research in Washington Co., PA, Bedford Co., PA, Frederick
Co., MD, Carroll Co., OH, and Ripley Co., IN.
Over the years, I have been contacted by many people who were trying to
do research based on Emma McKinley Nease's information, and trying to verify the
connection to the Revolutionary Soldier. One researcher was
the late-Dan Lane of Carpentersville, ILL, who was researching the family of our
John Lane, Jr. Another researcher of the same line also contacted
me. Both had concluded we did not connect to that soldier. A descendant of our Joseph Lane (b. 1807..moved to Ohio by 1837) also
questioned the DAR application, with the same conclusion. And, I as a descendant of Daniel Lane (b.
1810) through son James P., along with distant-cousin Linda Stanley, a descendant of Daniel
through son Robert J., have spent years researching, questioning, and
triple-checking our conclusions. ALL of us have found the DAR Application
is wrong for our family line. It is over 99% correct for the actual
soldier's family (with the exception that she included our John Lane Sr.)
A descendant of the one of the children of the Bedford Co. PA
John Lane Sr also contacted me, after learning from the NSDAR of other
researchers who had requested the same DAR Application. That researcher,
too, decided that my John Lane Sr had gotten mixed wrongly into her Bedford Co
PA John Lane Sr's life. A descendant of David Lane, one of the sons of the
Rev. soldier, worked with me from near Bedford Co PA, where David Lane and his
wife had lived and died; that researcher also concluded that there were 2 lines
of Lane families mixed together.
My research and this web site are not intending to accuse Mrs.
Nease of any wrongdoing. I can see how easily it could be to confuse men
who all were named John Lane (Jrs & Srs.). I know how difficult it has
been for me, from the 1980s to now, to do the research I have done. If it
has been so difficult now, in the age of computers and easy access to other
researchers who are all interested in the same lines, how much harder it would
have been for Mrs. Nease in the 1920s! She probably did not have the
access to the records that are available today; she probably never visited
Frederick Co MD to investigate records, and relied on the information she was
sent.
Because of limited funds, I was never able to share all the documents concerning
my research on this problem. Between 1984 and 1990, I collected
documents for all 8 John Lane men from: Frederick Co., MD, Washington Co., PA,
Bedford Co., PA, Carroll Co., OH, and Ripley Co., IN. Overall, I think
I've done a superb job of putting together copies of original records that
support my case, but, as in all large projects, something may have been
overlooked. I am hopeful that others may have found additional records
that can further support my claims. I do not want my research to just sit
in a box to collect dust, so I am making it available on this website to
everyone with computer access. Hopefully my research will survive me, or
at least it will have been available to interested parties to print out for
themselves.
I hope to scan ALL the documents I have concerning
this research.
YOU can help document the facts about the men I have listed. I welcome ALL
additional documents you might have from your research on this DAR Application
-- Please send me an email if you would like to add your documents to this
website.
ANY proof which
supports OR contradicts my research is gratefully appreciated. I
admit that, even after all the research that has been done, there remains a tiny
part of me that still questions aspects of the application (how did she confuse
these families?). But, I think I've done enough to present my conclusions
for public viewing. If you have any information that differs from my
research, I would sincerely LOVE to hear from you.

The following six (6)
web pages detail my research concerning the DAR Application of Mrs. Emma
McKinley Nease on the record the Rev. War Soldier, John Lane Sr., of
Bedford Co., PA. An additional page will address what you can do if you find a DAR
Application is inaccurate.
