Layne-Lain-Lane Genealogy LAYNE-LAIN-LANE GENEALOGY Being a compilation of names and historical information of male de­ scendants of sixteen branches of the LAYNE-LAIN-LANE family in the United States, gathered from legal records and other available sources. Compiled and Published by FLOYD BENJAMIN LAYNE Los ANGELES., CALIFORNIA PRINTED 1962 BY THE BOOKMAN PRESS Los ANGELES, CALIFORNIA U.S.A. PREFACE Information contained in this book has been collected during the past fifty-one years by Laynes, Lains, and Lanes interested in their family history. In 1911 William Robert Layne, then living in Los Angeles, be­ gan the systematic collecting of data by writing letters and making personal contacts. Some of the replies to the early letters are in the possession of the publisher. Dr. R. H. Lane of Washington, D.C. has given hundreds of hours of his time to extensive research in official records for locali­ ties indicated in an effort to verify family tradition. Recognition must be give Miss Emma Sue Williams of Athens, Tenn., for her work in the Public Records of Eastern Tennessee. It was found impossible to follow family groups by staying with a single spelling i.e. Layne, Lain, or Lane. Many were illiterate in early times and there were estrangements within families, some not wishing to claim kinship with other members of their family. Some documents examined used more than one way of spelling for the same individual and some used only a (X) for their signature. In the interest of family history, members of families named Layne, Lain, or Lane are urged to send data on· their family to "Layne, Lain, Lane Genealogy", 2236 San Marco Dr., Los Angeles 28, California. It is hoped we will be able to put together some families not now connected. Floyd Benjamin Layne Los Angeles, California INFORMATION Concerning numbers before and after names contained in this book of Genealogy. Large numbers in parenthesis after a name indicates the number of the generation away from the first generation. As an example, in Chapter A James Trimble Layne (7) was son of James Witten Layne (6), who was son of William Henry Layne (5) who was son of James Shannon Layne (4) who was son of William Layne (Wag­ oner) (3) who was son of William Layne (2) who was son of William Layne (1). An asterisk ( *) before the number of an individual indicates that individual has descendants having that number shown later. The very small numbers shown after a name is that individual's number in the Chapter and can be found by turning to the number indicated in his Chapter.

LAYNE-LAIN-LANE GENEALOGY CHAPTER A Descendants of William Lain-Layne of Amherst County, Virginia In connection ,vith the construction of an addition to the county court house at Amherst, Virginia, in 1961, some lost Court Order Books were found. The many court actions recorded therein­ most of which were small suits-do much to reveal life as it ,vas lived nearly two hundred years ago along the Tye River [a branch of the James River], by the Lane-Laine-Layne families, the fam­ ilies of Lavender, Tandy, Shannon, Stratton, Robertson, Bowman, Gatewood, Arrington, Wright and others. The Reverend Bailey Davis of Amherst searched these lost Court Order Books and found much that is important in tracing these early Virginia families. 1 WILLIAM LAINE SR: b cl 700; m ___; in Goochland co Va 1733 was a witness of Thomas Dawson and as defendant in suit for debt; undoubtedly he had come west from the coast; he was still in Goochland co in 1746 as next neighbor of Daw­ son, on West Lickinghole, with 5 slaves; issue: *2 William Laine Jr: b cl 720 *3 Thomas Laine: b cl 725 4 John Laine: Lived with William Laine Jr, where he was a tithable in 1766; at that time, all three were part of the citizens' committee for keeping up the road in their own region: [the new road from John Cabell's ferry to the rolling road near Fenley's Gap, crossing at the middle ford of Tye River and up Joe's Creek about a mile and then into Key's path into the gap]; John Cabell sued John Laine 1767; in 1767 Henry Key sued John and William Jr (his brother) and William (his nephew, the wagoner) in a rather involved case which began with the wagoner as de­ fendant and the other two as securities-all ending in a judgment of only £2 and interest from 6 Jan 1766; 4 Feb 1771 John deeded to John Edmonds and Thomas Wilsher, for £11.14.6 a bay horse, 3 head of cattle and a rifle-[possibly to satisfy a debt]; his witnesses included Monroe Wright, a neighbor; Car­ ter & Trent sued John and Jesse Wright in May 1774 for £4.12.1 with interest from 1 Dec 1772 and re- 7 ceived judgment; John Laine evidently died in July, 1778, for William Lane was named his administrator on 3 Aug 1778, under customary bond of £100, signed by William Lane, wagoner; John Laine's inventory, although not filed until 5 Oct 1778, was taken im­ mediately by William Alford, Achilles Wright, Robert Robinson and Minos Wright; it consisted of only a shirt, pair of britches, another pair, a coat, hone and strop, 2 stools and a bucket, a reap hook, a damaged blanket and a damaged pott - worth altogether £13.10.6; he held no land. 2 WILLIAM LAINE JR (2) WILLIAM SR1 (1): b c1720; d Amherst co Va fall 1792; m (1) probably in Henrico co Va by 1745 Susannah Porter ( dau of William Porter [ d Henrico County 1750 naming her in his will], granddau of Samuel Porter [d Norfolk co Va 1717-18 leaving a will]); m (2) as a widower, Amherst co Va lie 5 May 1788 Hannah Garvin; on 11 Mar 1747 William was sued in Albemarle co Va [before Amherst co was cut off from Albemarle] by John Pleasants, the judgment on 16 Jul 1748 calls him William Lane Jr; Wil­ liam was sued several times in 1743-46 in Goochland co; the locations of these suits hint at a westward movement trend; the next mention of William follows the erection of Amherst County in 1761; in 1766 he was a tithable in Amherst and a juryman, as well as security for William jr (his son, the wagoner); he served on a jury with Thomas Laine (father of William, waterman); in 1767 he lived near Minos Wright, Solomon Stratton, John Stratton, Thomas Ballow and Alex­ ander Chisnell (who.se families later were involved in his own family); he made a deed (now lost) with John Snyder in 1767; in 1776 he was administrator of John Lavender estate (secur­ ity: John Stratton); in 1778 he was administrator of John Lane, his brother, (security: William Laine, wagoner (son)); he had 9 tithes (perhaps including slaves) in 1780; no doubt exempt because of age, he is missing from tax lists beginning 1782, which show no land for him,

  • A History of St. Mark's Parish, in Which Governor Spotswood Did Not Have a Prominent Place, Would Be Like a Portrait with the Most Prominent Feature Left Out
    A HISTORY OF ST. MARK'S PARISH CULPEPER COUNTY, VIRGINIA, WITH NOTES OF OLD CHURCHES AND OLD FAMILIES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE Manners and Customs of the Olden Time. BY REV. PHILIP SLAUGHTER, D.D. Rector of Emmanuel Church, Culpeper Co.s Va. AUTHOR OF THE HISTORIES OF ST. GSORGB'S AND BRISTOL PARISHES, VA. 1877. IKNES & COMPANY, Printers, BALTIMORE, MO. THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. The author believes that he was the first person who conceived the idea of writing a history of the old parishes in Yirginia upon the basis of the old vestry-books and registers. Thirty years ago he published the History of Bristol Parish (Petersburg), of which he was then rector. In 1849 he published the History of St. George's Parish, in Spotsylvania. His labors were then suspended by ill-health, and he went abroad, never expecting to resume them. This personal evil resulted in the general good. Bishop Meade, the most competent of all men for this special task, was induced to take up the subject, and the result was the valuable work, " The Old Ohurches and Families of Yirginia," in which the author's histories of St. George and Bristol Parishes, and some other materials which he had gathered, were incorporated. The author, in his old age, returns to his first love, and submits to the public a history of his native parish of St. Mark's. The reader will please bear in mind that this is not a general history of the civil and social institutions within the bounds of this parish, and yet he will find in it many incidental illustrations of these subjects.

  • The Politics of Gossip in Early Virginia
    "SEVERAL UNHANDSOME WORDS": THE POLITICS OF GOSSIP IN EARLY VIRGINIA Christine Eisel A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2012 Committee: Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor Timothy Messer-Kruse Graduate Faculty Representative Stephen Ortiz Terri Snyder Tiffany Trimmer © 2012 Christine Eisel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor This dissertation demonstrates how women’s gossip in influenced colonial Virginia’s legal and political culture. The scandalous stories reported in women’s gossip form the foundation of this study that examines who gossiped, the content of their gossip, and how their gossip helped shape the colonial legal system. Focusing on the individuals involved and recreating their lives as completely as possible has enabled me to compare distinct county cultures. Reactionary in nature, Virginia lawmakers were influenced by both English cultural values and actual events within their immediate communities. The local county courts responded to women’s gossip in discretionary ways. The more intimate relations and immediate concerns within local communities could trump colonial-level interests. This examination of Accomack and York county court records from the 1630s through 1680, supported through an analysis of various colonial records, family histories, and popular culture, shows that gender and law intersected in the following ways. 1. Status was a central organizing force in the lives of early Virginians. Englishmen punished women who gossiped according to the status of their husbands and to the status of the objects of their gossip. 2. English women used their gossip as a substitute for a formal political voice.

    THE HAIRSTONS AND PENNS AND THEIR RELATIONS by ELIZABETH SEAWELL HAIRSTON Fellow The Institute of American Genealogy 1939 Roanoke, Virginia 1940 1'40: WALTERS PJtJlfTJNG AND MANUFACT171tJNG CO. JtOANOKB. VIRGINIA This Record is dedicated to my children and my grandchildren. ELIZABETH SEAWELL HAIRSTON. PREFACE I have spent much time and careful study and labor in my efforts to secure a true family record for those I love, and have written very little that I did not get from the v.ery best authority. When I have had to accept tradition, I have stated it. There may be discrepancies in dates and names of coun­ ties, etc., but it must be borne in mind that in those days boundaries were being changed, new counties formed, and so the confusing discrepancies arise. It is greatly to be deplored that so many court records, family Bibles, and priceless por­ traits were burned and destroyed by the Federal Army during the War 1861-1865. Only those who undertake genealogical research in Virginia can appreciate the incalculable loss-the inexcusable vandalism-from which the South suffered in those dark days, and on to the present day! Establishing unquestionable data and genealogical records in Virginia is a difficult undertakng, owing to the fact, that Virginia was the battle ground of the war between the states, 1861-1865; and no courthouses,_court records, not even homes and family bibles escaped the vandalism and the burning of the enemy; and after the war, the impoverished and demoral­ ized state of affairs and minds of those upon whom the re­ building and rehabilitation of the state devolved had little time or heart to devote to the recovery of lost records or to secure new family data.
