Children of William Lane in the order mentioned in his will:
I. ELIZABETH2, b. England, m. THOMAS RIDER, who came to America in ship Hercules, 1634 ; a “caulker" by trade, residing in Dorchester and Boston. They received by her father's will, “my new dwelling house in Dorchester, etc.” Their daughter
1. Hannah, b. Boston, 7 Mar., 1655-6.
From the Will of Isaac Lane:
“Unto Thomas Rider my Sonne in Law & daughter Elizabeth his wife, my new dwelling house in Dorchester with all the outhousing, garden etc. only to & for the vse of my daughter & her children fforeuer, except my great Lott in the great Lotts of Dorchester within Pale & without, Estimated 24 Acres more or lesse wch I giue vnto my daughter Mary Long …
A 5th child is indicated from the record of Elizabeth (Lane) Ryder requesting approval to sell the property given to her by her father William Lane. Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England Vol. 3 - page 389 - 23 May 1655 < Hathitrust>
23 May 1655: Elizabeth Rider, the wife of Thomas Rider, of Boston, being left by her husband with fiue small children to mayntayne & no meanes wherewith all to keepe them, desireing libertie from this Court to sell a howse & land in Dorchester, which her father, Wm Lane, gaue to her & her children, in answer to her request, it is ordred, that the select men of the towne of Boston shall & haue powre to dispose of ye sd howse & land, either by sale, morgage, or otherwise, as they shall judge meet, for the vse of the petitior, which this Court doth hereby confirme & allow.
This fifth child is not recorded to Thomas Ryder & Elizabeth Lane in records or other sources.
Speculation points to William Lane of Watertown, born about 1650. He would be named after Elizabeth Lane's father William.
She died after 23 May 1655 in Boston, Massachusetts.
concerns
Henry Garnsey as husband 2 is unproven.
The other information below is unproven or guesses but is left unchanged for reference.. A number of children were connected but may be from the other Thomas Riders mentioned below.because their birth dates were listed before the marriage of Elizabeth and Thomas. Maybe that was the cause of the family strife, but probably not.
brief biography and family
Thomas Rider was husband 1. He abandoned Elizabeth and their 5 children (only 4 identified) after her father's death, and Elizabeth petitioned the town 23 May 1655 to help sell the home her father had willed her and Thomas.
named in her father's will
notes
Edits 12/29/2019 The Great Migration Project has her birthday about 1627 in England (most likely Dorset where her parents were living prior to immigration), which is what Find a Grave uses.
