John Lane of Rickmansworth

L.P. Lane, "Lane Family in Rickmansworth, Engand and Vicinity; Postscript to Part I" in "Lane Genealogies", Vol III by J.Lane et al., compiled by James Fitts. The News Letter Press, New Hampshire US, 1902. p. 1-2 Archive.Org

Mr. James Lane had four sons and died possessed of landed estate before 1654. John, the eldest son, remained in England. He received joint inheritance with his brother James, in the parental estates prior to 1654, and perhaps was the kinsman and executor mentioned in John Lane's will of 1661. Other sons of James Lane, Senior, were Job, James and Edward who all settled in the vicinity of Boston, Mass. A letter from Jeremiah Gould, dated at London, 6 June 1654, and directed to his "Kind Friend Job Lane" in Mass., shows that James Lane, Senior, and wife had surrendered an estate to their sons James and John and their heirs. The father and mother died in debt, "a good sum," and the son James paid it.
