JOHN LANNING is found in the records of Newtown, which fronted on the East River, in Queens County, L.I., opposite Manhattan Island, in the following items of 1681 and 1682, his surname spelled phonetically by the town clerk as "Lennen". He was deceased by 1683, in which year the name of "the widow Lanning" appears in the town minutes. She was evidently the Elizabeth Laning of Newtown who conveyed to "my two sons Robert Laning and Richard Laning, after my decease" her house and ten acre lot in Newton by deed of gift dated 16 April 1688. Those two sons removed to Maidenhead Township, Burlington County, NJ by 1699, as hereinafter is shown. The 1698 Census of Newtown lists no Laning. (TAG 24: 133).”
