* This is a note for anyone researching this line. When I researched in
Frederick County Maryland for John LANE, Sr., Joseph BAKER, his father-in-law,
Henry REPP (relationship to BAKER & LANE is unknown at this point), and
other families in the Pipe Creek and Beaver Dam areas (now Carroll County
Maryland), there was another LANE I was following to see if he was my John LANE
Sr's father. The LANE male had died and if I remember right, part of the
estate went to a Sarah? (maybe it was a Delilah?).... she married a Philip
SLACK. But I lost track of them and where they went (they seemed to just
"disappear.") This was between 1800 and 1810 -- I don't have my
records out at the moment. Since many Brethren families were moving
to Washington County Pennsylvania between 1800 and 1810, and re-reading this
deed today, I wonder if the SLACKs in the above Deed are the same ones who were
in Frederick County Maryland records? This needs further investigation.
I wrote on this: "Are one of these persons a ROSS? Sarah SLACK or Deliah
SLACK? Is one a LANE?"
I also wrote on this Deed, "see Deed Book S-p.494, dated 2 March 1804,
Recorded 14 December 1804.
