I am interested in learning more about her as she is in the historical and legal records and yet her twins are not known today. Eliza's parents are ancestral grandparents to me.
Eliza took several lashes over having children with "Nicholas Sessoms negro man"

Surry County court order Book 1671-1691, page 77: "ELIZA LANE Lane having been delivered of two mulatto bastard children which she confesseth were begotten by NICHOLAS SESSOMS' Negro man, it is ordered that the sheriff during the setting of this court (January, 1690) give her ten lashes on her bare back well layed on and at the next court he give her ten lashes more."
