Is there a connection??? Thank you so much for your help.

NAME: Sandy Lane
Daniel S. (Smith?) LANE (b. =1796) moved from (Virginia?) to the
Bedford/Louisville, Kentucky area around the early 1820s. Through most of
his adult life he was a prominent Trimble County official, at times a
commissioner, sheriff, judge, etc. I believe he had three brothers. His
brother Henry lived in Louisville and was a doctor. The other brothers'
names may have been Richard and Joseph. Daniel died sometime after 1870.
Daniel S. Lane had at least thirteen children by two (Susan BARTLETT and
Sarah Ann GATEWOOD) or possibly three wives. His children's names were:
Powhatan B. Lane (b. =1823) - this given name has me curious
William Bartlett Lane (b. =1826) - his wife Lydia wrote a book about army life
Richard Newton Lane, Dr. (b. 1828), my husband's line, buried in Texas
George B. Lane (died young?)
Sophronia Lane (b. =1830), married Nathaniel Parker
Mary Lane (b. =1835)
Henrietta Lane (b. =1837)
Malvina Lane (b. =1839)
Sarah F. Lane (b. =1841)
Nancy R. Lane (b. =1843)
Lara Lane (b. =1846)
Frances Lane (b. =1849)
Franklin P. Lane (b. 10 JAN 1853)
Last year I contacted the library and the only information they had on
Daniel S. Lane was a record of a marriage. I hope that through you and the
Trimble County website and historical society books you might be able to do
a quick check on the Lane surname and come up with some info/leads. Thank
you.

In the 1880 Trimble Co. Census, Milton District, one James LAWSON, my Great Grandfather, was a boarder in the home of one Edward Bird. James was listed as working at the Saw Mill. Does any information on this Saw Mill exist? I can't seem to find any. Not necessairly looking for records, albeit that would be nice, realistically, oral history. Any Clues?.
