Note 1:

The 1830 census of Boone Co., IN on page 203 lists John Lane age 30-40 with five sons and two daughters. He is listed next to Thomas Standage, father of his wife Charity. The 1840 census of Boone Co., IN also lists John Lane, age 40-50. When compared with the ages in the 1850 census two earlier censuses indicate that these are the same family. They also indicate that there was an unknown son who born past 1840.

The 1850 census of Howard Co., IN list John and Charity with sons Jesse and Isaac. Living in the next two dwelling are sons Thomas, John and Edward. Also living in Howard County is James Lane, age 31 (born about 1819). This would be the correct age for Charity’s first born and the age fits the census. In 1860 two of his children resided with Porter Vandewark in Grundy Co., IA which adjoined Dallas County where John T. Lane Resided. However, there is no evidence that this person was related to John Lane and Charity.

The 1830 census of Boone Co., KY lists Jesse Lane, age 70-80. He lived in the vicinity of John Lane as well as several other younger Lane families. There is no evidence of any connection between these families.

Notes on Thomas Standage:
“Was Thomas “T” the Father of Alexander Standridge?”
By Russell P. Baker
In Standridge Kith An? Kin Family History Newsletter, Vol. 12 No. 2------Fall 2013


“We do know from our Standridge DNA project that he had a close family connection with James Standridge, the Revolutionary War veteran;”

“Probate records in Boone Co., IN indicate that Thomas died early in 1834, leaving heirs, Charity and Catherine Lane.

“Our first clue came from Franklin County, GA Deeds and Mortgages 1802 – 1803, Book “O”, p. 66. It contains a copy of a deed where Thomas Standridge made a gift of all his “cattle being in number fourteen and one mare the color bay” to his son, Thomas Jr. dated February 15, 1802. … he signed with a very distinct “mark”, “Thomas „T? Standridge”. Instead of the usual “X”, …”

“Our second clue is from a Marion County, IN court case obtained from the IN State Archives. It related to a dispute dating from March 26, 1810 between William, Aaron, and Thomas Standridge and Nathan Haggard concerning the sale of horses. … Here is how the said Standridges signed the original note, William “X” Standridge, Aaron “X” Standridge, and Thomas “T” Standridge. Note that while William and Aaron using the usual “X” sign, Thomas signed with a unusual yet familiar mark “T”, the identical mark used by Thomas in GA just a few years before.”

“Thus, it is our considered opinion that the Thomas Standridge who lived in SC and GA is the same man who later lived and died in IN.”
