Letter written by Winifred Aycock

                    During Lifetime of Winifred                      The following quotation is from a letter written by Winifred Aycock:
   "I was born within ten miles of Raleigh. I had two brothers, James and Richard Aycock.
   "My grandfather came to North Carolina in the year 1784. Grandfather Pace's father was named Richard Pace. He lived in Virginia. Great grandfather Pace had four brothers and three sisters and all of them married and every one of them had a son mamed Richard because that is a family name. he spelled this mame Pase sometimes. I know my mother came to Chowan in Albemarle County, North Carolina and she told me that they lived on a river near a creek in Virginia that was next to her grandmother's house.
   "My mother was born in a county in Virginia where fove counties meet. She was the oldest girl, and her sister Mary was next. Mother knew of (great) grand- father's brothers -- Uncle Thomas, John and George, but never knew of Uncle James; he moved away. She said her Aunts had been to North Carolina and visted them. Elizabeth lived in the old home place but Aunts Ami and Sarah moved to South Carolina. My grandfather was Richard Pace, Jr. I married and moved in Johnson County, North Caroliana in 1784-My mother died before,---here."
   Winifred Aycock Lane died from pneumonia contracted whe she was diriven from her home by the Indians when they lived in Georgia.
   Her parents belonged to the Church of England of which she was also a member until converted to Methodism by the Reverends Humphries and Major.
   These two preachers held a great revival at Jesse's home. They built an arbor and placed benches for the congregation and at night had torch lights arranged on stands which were called "Rush Light". Many people were converted and the new doctrine soon spread through that portion of Ga

My mother, Blanche Lane Conner Cravens, was the daughter of Captain Asbury B. Conner, U. S. A., and Suzan Lane Harwell Conner. Mother was a native of the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and her grandparents on her mother's side were Vines Harwell, pioneer Attorney and Minister of the Gospel of Northern Georgia, and Mary Rebecca Lane Harwell. My great grandmother, Mary Rebecca Lane, was the daughter of Johnathan Lane, native of Wake County, North Carolina. His wife was Patience Rogers, daughter of Thos. Rogers, and Mary Duck, and a descendant of Giles Rogers.

The father of Johnathan Lane was Jesse Lane, native of North Carolina, and his mother was Winifred Aweck (sometimes pronounced
Aycock) Lane. She was the daughter of Rebecca Pace, and was of Welsh descent.

Jesse Lane's father was Joseph Lane, Jr., and his mother was Patience McKinne, a daughter of Major Barnabas McKinne, Sr., and Mary Exum McKinne. Major McKinne was a Justice of the General Court of the Province, member of the Colonial Assembly, and a vestryman of the North West Parish of Bertie precinct or county, North Carolina in 1727.

Joseph Lane, Jr., was a native of Halifax County, North Carolina. His father was Colonel Joseph Lane, the second, High Sheriff of Edgecombe County, North Carolina, who was born in or near Jamestown, Virginia, in 1665. His wife was Julian Pope Lane. The father of Colonel Joseph Lane, the second, was Colonel Joseph Lane the first, who was born at Jamestown, Virginia. His wife was Ester Bryan. His father, Richard Lane, of Jamestown, Virginia, came over from England in 1618, two years before the landing of the Pilgrims and Puritans, and settled in Jamestown.

Richard Lane was a descendant of Sir Ralph Lane of England, who with Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Richard Greenville, sailed from Plymouth, England in 1585, and formed (in what is now North Carolina) the colony of Roanoke, of which Lane became Governor, the first English Governor in America.

The father of Sir Ralph Lane, the first English Governor in America, was Sir Ralph Lane, of Orlingbury, whose wife, Nee Parr, was a first cousin of Catherine Parr, the sixth queen of King Henry VIII, Berkely Castle, Hereford, a Lane estate, and here was born Richard James Lane, artist. His uncle was the artist Gainsborough.
The name "Lane" was originally the Norman "De Lona" or "De Lone," and it entered England, at the time of William the Conqueror.

My great great great great grandmother, Patience McKinne, had a brother John, who married Elizabeth Pope of Virginia, daughter of Nathanel Pope, whose sister, Ann Pope, married John Washington, grandfather of General George Washington.

Jesse Lane, my great great great grandfather, and his father, Joseph Lane, Jr., were soldiers of the American Revolution. Jesse's son, John, fought with him in the American Revolution. John was the father of General Joseph Lane, one of America's outstanding military leaders. Jesse Lane and his son, Johnathan, (my great great grandfather), and Johnathan's son-in-law, David Lowery, built one of the First Methodist churches in Georgia with hand sawed logs.

Jesse Lane was a brother of Joel Lane, noted pioneer and patriot of Wake County, North Carolina, and prominent leader of the American Revolution. In the lobby of the Municipal Building of the city of Raleigh, North Carolina, is a bronze tablet which reads:
"In memory of JOEL LANE, a Colonial and Revolutionary Patriot who represented Wake County on the Committee of Safety and in the Provincial Congress, Constitutional Conventions, and Legislative Assemblies of North Carolina. The City of Raleigh stands on his ancient Domain. He died on the 29th of March, 1795. Erected by the Bloomsbury Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution, A. D., 1913."

The house in which Colonel Joel Lane lived, and which was built by him still stands, and is the oldest house in the city of Raleigh, North Carolina—much older than the city itself. On April 30, 1927, title to the property was acquired by the Colonial Dames of America. Title to the property is now in the name of the North Carolina Society of the Colonial Dames of America, and the Wake County Committee has supervision of the property.

Colonel Joel Lane was one of the first trustees of the University of North Carolina. During the darkest hours of the American Revolution, the General Assembly met at his house. He represented his country as Senator for fourteen years before his death on the 29th day of March, 1795.

My great great great grandfather, Jesse Lane, brother of Colonel Joel Lane, migrated from North Carolina to Northern Georgia. He was the father of sixteen children, eight sons and eight daughters. A few of his grandchildren are as follows:

David Swaim, Governor of North Carolina; President of Chappel Hill University; James Hary Rogers, Judge of Supreme Court, David Rice, Lieutenant, C. S. A., killed at Sharpsburg, U. S. Senator Joseph Bailey of Texas; D. M. Gudyer, Doctor, M. D.; Frederick Moore, Superior Court Judge; James Lowry, Lt. Colonel, C. S. A.; David Coleman, Colonel, C. S. A.; John Lane, Minister, married Miss Vick from whom Vicksburg, Mississippi, is named; Richard Luckie, Colonel, C. S. A.; Peyton Colquitt, Colonel C. S. A., killed at Battle of Chickamauga; Judge Walter T. Colquitt, Atlanta, Georgia; Martin D. Rogers, Methodist Minister, Texas Conference; David Lane Kendall, Surgeon, C. S. A.; Thomas Jefferson Rogers, Colonel C. S. A.; Lon Campbell, Missionary to China; Walter Moore, Colonel C. S. A., speaker of the House of Representatives, North Carolina.

Patience Lane, daughter of Jesse Lane, and sister of Jonathan Lane, married John Hart, son of Nancy Hart of Revolutionary fame and moved with his family to Kentucky. They were related to U. S. Senator Henry Clay.

My mother, Blanche Lane Conner Cravens, was the namesake of her grandmother, Mary Lane Harwell, granddaughter of Jesse Lane. General Alfred Colquitt, Governor of Georgia, was related through the Lane line of ancestry, and a personal friend to the Lane family of which Mary Lane was a member.

The Lane family was seated at King's Brownley Hall, King's Brown-ley, near Litchfield and also at Chartyr Hay in County Stafford, England. Adam de Lone was living at Hampton at an early date, and Richard de la Lone was living at Hampton in the ninth year of Edward II. One of the most ancient of the Lane armorial Bearings is described as follows: (Burke, General Armory, 1884); Arms—"Gules, on a fesse wavy, between three swans argent, as many crosses formee, or."

The Heraldic description of the Lane coat of arms that can be found in almost any book on American heraldy is as follows: "Per fesse or and azure, a chevron gules, between three mullets, counter charged. On a canton of third three lions of England." CREST: "A strawberry roan horse, salient couped at the flanks, bridled sable, bitted and garnished or, supporting between the feet and imperial crown proper." MOTTO: "Garde le Roy."

Julian Pope, wife of Colonel Joseph Lane the Second, was a member of a distinguished family of Virginia. Ester Bryan, wife of Colonel Joseph Lane, the First, was also a member of a distinguished Virginia family.

· Biography

· · Jesse Lane with his father-in-law William Aycock and his relatives the Popes and Bradfords, moved to Wilkes County, Ga., about 1784. In 1788 he lived on Long Creek, three miles below Lexington on a large plantation which was afterwards bought by Col. Hardin. This was on the Oconee River below Athens. When Jesse came there the Indians and Tories were still troublesome. Winifred, his wife, only lived ten years after they arrived. Winifred Lane, her daughter was only fourteen when her Mother died.

   Jesse had a long and distinguished career in the Revolutionary Army. On March 1, 1777, he enlisted for three years service as a private in Captain Jacob Turner's company, 3rd N.C. Regiment, commanded by Col. Jethro Sumner.

   What Jesse did individually, is not known, but we can follow the fortunes of his company and regiment. The 3rd N.C. Continental Line (the Regular Army soldiers of the Rev.), marched northward to join Washington's Army on March 15, 1777. In the journal of Hugh McDonald, a soldier in the N.C. Brigade he stated that as they passed through Virginia they scarcely marched two miles at a time without being stopped by ladies and gentlemen with presents and flowers.

   The Brigade arrived at Philadelphia on July 1st and participated in the Battle of Germantown Oct.4, 1777, where Gen. Nash, the brigade commander was killed and Jesse's company heavily engaged. Capt. Turner was killed and several others in his company.

   The North Carolina Brigade spent the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge enduring the terrible sufferings of that season. On the last day of 1777, there were present for duty 572; sick 425; absent on duty 137.

   They participated in the Battle of Monmouth, June 29, 1778. Col. Jethro Sumner was promoted to Brigadier General Jan. 9, 1779, and after his promotion his regiment was consolidated with the 1st. of which Hal Dixon was Lt. Col. The regiment fought in the Battle of Stono, June 20, 1779.

   The N.C. Line was reorganized into battalions. Jesse was # 10 on the list of "Returns of Soldiers of the 2nd. Battalion N.C." reinlisted during the War, agreeable to Resolution of Congress, and general orders, at Paramis, March 12, 1779 under Col. Pattons command in Lt. Col. Harney's Company. On expiration of former inlistment, March 1st., 1780, he was paid $100.

   This payment of $100 on expiration of enlistment identifies him as the same Jesse Lane who inlisted March 1st., 1777.

   It is also stated, by many of his descendants that Jesse fought at Cowpens, Eutaw Springs and Guilford Court House. These were the battles in which the Continental Line was engaged.

   Jesse was in the Army 7 years, for he received a grant of 640 acres within the limits of the land allotted soldiers of the Continental Line, May 14, 1784. This grant may have been in Georgia.

   Jesse visited his children in Kentucky and Illinois and died in the last named state in 1806.

JESSE LANE AND FAMILY

Jesse Lane was born in North Carolina on July 3, 1733, the son of Joseph Lane (1710-1774) and Patience Quinney (or McKinney as some records have it) Lane. He married Winifred Aweck (a Welch name pronounced "Aycock") whose mother's maiden name was Rececca Pace. Winifred Aweck Lane was born April 11, l741. She and Jesse Lane married in 1755 and she died in 1794.

Life Stories of Gallant Americans
The Lanes Cavaliers of the South
In the Wars of Early America

By: Mrs. Louisa Kendall Rogers
Barnesville, Georgia

THIS is the story of one of the most distinguished and influential of the early settlers of Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas.

The family is said to be collaterally descended from Sir Ralph Lane who sailed from Plymouth, England, in one of the vessels fitted up by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585- Captain Lane was a brave, daring young cavalier, the son of Sir Ralph Lane of Orlingbury, whose wife, nee Parr, was first cousin of Catherine Parr, the favored queen of Henry VII. Sir Ralph Lane, junior, was the first colonial governor appointed on American soil. Although history asserts that the colony was broken up by the Croatan Indians at Roanoke, it is generally believed some of the party drifted into North Carolina and assisted greatly toward building up the commonwealth of the state. Sir Ralph Lane died in i6o4, while on a visit to Ireland, so it is not positively known how long he remained in America.

During the summer of 1618, two years before the Pilgrims and Puritans landed in America, Joseph Lane (supposed to be a descendant of Sir Ralph Lane) came from England to Jamestown, Virginia, which was settled in 16O7 by Captain John Smith and his London Company, who established a code of laws for the colony. From there this family of Lanes found their way to Roanoke and Halifax, North Carolina. There was born Joseph Lane, junior, the true lineal ancestor of a noted family of American patriots whose descendants are scattered throughout all the states, from the storm-washed coast of the Atlantic to the middle Pacific and from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The old family records handed down for many generations have grown to vast proportions, and several volumes might be filled with thrilling accounts of their daring exploits during the Revolution, the Mexican War, The War between the States, and the late Spanish War.

Joseph Lane of 1710 married Patience McKinne, daughter of a wealthy Scotch immigrant who owned vast quantities of land in what was then known as the Caledonian regions. Their sons were Joel, Jesse and Joseph Lane. They moved from the vicinity of Halifax on the Roanoke to a comparative wilderness in Johnson County where Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, now stands.

Colonel Joel Lane was a statesman "to the manner born," and during the War for Independence was at onetime its presiding justice.* Throughout the entire conflict with Great Britain he served with fidelity in many important civil stations. He not only represented his county as senator for fourteen years, but his name appears in "Colonial Records" as Lieutenant Colonel, 1772. His dwelling still stands, a landmark of the Revolution, and was considered at the time a rare specimen of architectural elegance. He was a member of the first Provisional Congress which met at Hillsorough twenty-first of August, 1775, in defiance of the proclamation of Governor Martin, issued twelve days it, advance, forbidding such an assemblage.

Governor Martin accused them of being "rebels and traitors," against the king and his government, denouncing the resolves of a set of people styling themselves a "Committee of the County of Mecklenburg," who traitorously declared the dissolution of the laws, government and constitution of the country, the preposterous enormity of which cannot be adequately described and abhorred.
At any rate, in defiance of this libelous proclamation, the brave and patriotic convention was determined to build up a republic in America. Consequently, the General Assembly of this "most rebellious of provinces," amidst the darkest hours of the Revolution, met at the house of Joel Lane in June, 1781, and elected Thomas Burke, one of the most eminent of the men of revolutionary renown, the third governor of the state, Colonel Lane at the time being senator of Wake. Wishing to establish the capitol in his own vicinity, on the fourth of April, 1792, he conveyed to the state one thousand acres of land. Subsequent to this arrangement for Raleigh, he presented six hundred acres for the site of the University, as an inducement to locate the institution near the capitol. Thus did this grand old patriot lend his wealth and influence toward the up building of the American Republic, well deserving a monument to his memory, although it has never been reared.

His sons served their country, and at the present day one of his great, great Granddaughters is State Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Tennessee.

Joseph Lane, the second brother, was as a member of the Tribunal of the First Court in North Carolina, which was held fourth of June, 1771. He married Ferebe Hunter, reared a large family and died 1798. One of this family, Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Lane, received large grants of land for his services during the Revolution and is mentioned in history.

Jesse Lane, the third brother, was born 1733, married Winefred Hycock and reared a happy household of fifteen children, all of whom lived to a good old age, contributing of their "basket and store" to the formation of a permanent government. He is the ancestor of thousands of America's noblest men and women, among them General Joseph Lane of Oregon, called "The Marion of the War with Mexico," who was candidate for vice president of the United States, governor of Oregon, and senator eight years.
Jesse Lane served his country with the Third North Carolina Continentals and with his sons bravely fought in the battles of Guilford Court House, Cowpens, and King's Mountain.

General Ferguson of the British Army was a brave, fearless officer and at first eyed the motley crowd of American "rebels" with scorn, not deigning to think that they really meant to attack him, but when his practiced eye reconnoitered the situation he chafed like a lion at bay. The Americans were divided into three sections, Campbell and Shelby leading the center, Sevier and McDowell the right, and Cleveland and Williams the left. Ferguson met the attack with the bayonet, and as there was not a bayonet among the poorly equipped Americans, they were at first repulsed. Soon the British were attacked from another quarter, and Ferguson's fury knew no bounds when he saw that the party he had driven down the hill with the bayonet were renewing the attack with more vigor than before. He rode from point to point, leading his men with desperate bravery, but soon fell to the ground pierced by a well-aimed rifle ball.

The American loss was only about thirty men, while the British lost one hundred and fifty killed and nine hundred prisoners. At this battle of the mountain, Jesse Lane, his son John (who was father of General Joseph Lane of Oregon), Charles Lane, another son, and his sons-in-law, gallantly threw their whole strength into their efforts for independence, so that the battle of King's Mountain, not- withstanding the smallness of the numbers engaged, put a new phase on the struggles of the South. When the news of the entire destruction of Ferguson's army reached Cornwallis he was made to tremble for his own safety. The heroes of King's Mountain having so well accomplished their plans, returned in triumph to their homes and delighted in handing down to their descendants a true history of their victories. They scarcely realized the immense service they had rendered the United States, but the value of that service was soon to be realized by General Greene who had been appointed commander at the South, and who, whether fighting or retreating, was to justify the confidence by which he had been chosen for this post by General Washington.

The little town of Halifax is one of the oldest in North Carolina, and not only its first settlers, the Lanes, were brave and courageous, but all of its whole population. It was the first to celebrate the Declaration of Independence after it was signed in Philadephia, and it was there Cornwallis and his army were quartered several months, as was also General Tarleton. William Hooper, one of the signers of the Declaration, though put down as a delegate from Wake, came from the eastern part of the state.

A late historian who had occasion to, refer to the history of Raleigh in connection with the triumphant march and occupancy of the city by Sherman's army, speaks of Colonel Joel Lane as the progenitor of the notorious " Jim Lane" of Kansas. This is a mistake. They are not of the same family. General Joseph Lane, who won fame and renown in Mexico, Governor Henry S. Lane of Indiana, General Alfred H. Colquitt of Georgia, "The Hero of Olustee," Lieutenant-Governor Robertson of North Carolina, Governor David Swain of Chapel Hill, and Honorable George W. Lane of Alabama, District judge of the United States, were all cousins, great nephews of Colonel Joel Lane, and grandsons of Jesse Lane. The latter moved to Elbert County, Georgia, in 1786, and died in Missouri, 1806, leaving descendants throughout all the states of the union. who, like the three brothers, are noted for their uprightness, patriotism and integrity of character.

Revolutionary War

sandrac47added this on 30 Jul 2009

Jesse Lane served as a Private in the Revolutionary War, enlisting March 1, 1777 in Captain Jacob Turners' Company, 3rd North Carolina Continentals. (the Lane Family, p. 74). He and son John were said to have served at the Battle of King's Mountain in North Carolina. historians consider the Battle of Kings Mountain to be the "turning point in the South" in America's War for Independence. The victory of Patriots over Loyalist troops destroyed the left wing of Cornwallis' army. The battle also effectively ended, at lease temporarily, the British advance into North Carolina. Lord Cornwallis was forced to retreat from Charlotte into South Carolina to wait for reinforcements. The victory of the Overmountain Men allowed General Nathaniel Greene the opportunity to reorganize the American Army. When British General Henry Clinton learned of his men's defeat at Kings Mountain, he is reported to have called it "the first link of a chain of evils" that he feared might lead to the collapse of the British plans to quash the Patriot Rebellion. He was right. American forces went on to defeat the British at Cowpens. A little more than a year after Kings Mountain, Washington accepted Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown, Virginia.

Jesse was granted 640 acres (location unknown) within the limits of land allotted soldiers of the Continental Line on May 14, 1784 for 84 months service.

In 1779, they emigrated to Wilkes County, Georgia (in an area now apart of Oglethorpe County, Georgia), lived in Jackson and Clarke Counties. Sometime after Winifred's death in 1794, Jesse removed to St. Louis, Missouri.
