Highly questionable:
Col. John Lane, of Bentley

Definitely bogus:
John Lane of the New Haven Colony
William Lane of Bristol

Thanks, Erica. (Now, where *did* he come from? Not my area of expertise, unfortunately....)

William Lane of Bristol disconnected and relationships locked.

We don't know the parents of most first arrivers to colonial America, thats why we find the "gateways.".

William Lane descendants were Quakers to Pennsylvania, William is "known" inBristol. But If I had to bet I'd say Chester origins, and not

.. Staffordshire.

And neither family anything in common with our Connecticut Puritan.

Perhaps just slice Jonathan off to drift away?

I've started another William Lane discussion that may help develop the pedigree. You might want to take a look.
Today I wrote:

Research

A profile earmarked " Abraham Lane " and his father Jean Laine present an interesting situation for developing the pedigree. Abraham had a dau. Hannah who married a Robeson at Trappe while we also see that William's descendant Eleanor Lane married a Roberson of the same line in the same general neighborhood: See: Ellinore Robeson
These lines seem to have been ignored by Lane family genealogists as they were, on the whole, loyal to the Crown during the Revolution. Ellinore Robeson (Lane's) dau. married into the historically significant Gambier family which administrated the Bahamas on behalf of King George III.

It should be noted that the Lane's had acquired a good part of their Perkiomen acreage from a grant that had been held by the Robeson family. Surely, all these Lane - Robeson connections cannot be merely coincidental.
