Edward Lane as "overseer," named in the will of Capt. Robert Keayne, showed his care "to provide some fit and Godly match" for the grantee, by marrying her. But difficulties arose. The case between Edward Lane and Anna Keayne, the mother, was before the courts. May 26 and Oct. 18, 1659.
Mrs. Anna Keayne Lane survived her husband man years, and m second, Col. Nicholas Paige.
Children
- Anna (1660-1661)
- Edward LANE2 (Edwardi).1661-1717. The son of Edward Lane^, after his mother's second marriage, probably changed his name to Edward Paige. This accounts for the form of the inscription in the Scottish chapel at Leyden, Holland, undoubtedly commemora- tive of him. "Here lieth buried Edward Paige, only son of Nicholas and Anna”. No children.

Anna, however, was no Hester Prynne. The scarlet letter was not for her. She fought the charges—by announcing her two children were really fathered by Paige and, therefore, he was her true husband. (Which seems an admission of guilt to me.) And then Edward’s friend, Richard Cooke, in an effort to show Anna as an unloyal, scheming adulteress, showed up in court with a document written and signed by Edward shortly before he died. It said he had never known Anna carnally, that their marriage had been nullified in 1658, and he did not consider her his wife. (Which, to me, would seem to prove her case.)

Her grandfather, a wealthy merchant, gained his riches by being sneaky, conniving and miserly. Her parents were ne’er-do-wells. Her father accused her mother of adultery, and when she was found guilty, he moved back to London to take advantage of his new freedom and left Anna to be raised by his parents in Boston. Anna’s mother became a habitual offender, often in trouble with authorities for ‘Irregular prophecying in mixt Assemblies.’”
