Pvt Tidence Lane, Jr.

There's no evidence that either he or his brother Aquilla had the middle name "Van Bibber" or anything else, contrary to what Find a Grave and many family trees say. None of the primary source records list a middle name.

TIDENCE LANE, JR. was born 12 May 1763 in Randolph County, North Carolina, and lived in Washington County, North Carolina, when he first enlisted in the service of the Revolutionary War. He applied for his pension on 3 Sep 1833 in Jefferson County, Tennessee, declaring that he had married Mary (surname not stated) on 23 Oct 1783. He died 25 Jan 1841 in Jefferson County, Tennessee, and his widow applied on 20 Jan 1844 in Jefferson, aged 77. Their children were: Lydia, born 6 Jan 1786, Isaac, born 8 Aug 1788, Nancy, born 4 or 24 Jul 1791, Esther, born 6 Nov 1793, John, born 4 Jun 1796, Noah, born 18 Oct 1798, Mary, born 20 Nov 1800, Right, born 7 Jun 1803 and James Madison LANE, born 3 Nov 1805 (Rev War Pension File No. W3777).
