Notes

• Ralph Lane (1509-?) married Maud Parr (1507-59) in 1523. Their only three sons were Robert, Ralph and William. Roger Lane born Hereford 1569 was categorically not their son.
• An undated newspaper clipping filed in the New York Public Library states that "Sir Ralph Lane of Orlingburg, England, whose wife, nee Parr, was a first cousin of Katherine Parr, sixth queen of King Henry VIII, was progenitor of the Lanes of Virginia and North Carolina; he was also the father of Sir Ralph Lane, who founded the colony of Roanoke and was the first English governor in America." The newspaper article concerned Col. Joel Lane of Bloomsbury, North Carolina, a Revolutionary War officer and collateral cousin of Isaac Lane, whose descendants setted in Polk County, Arkansas.
