Note: NE Historical Register April 1838: He was a tradesman in London in 1654. With his family he came to Malden, MA in 16_5 and was for a while engaged in trade with his brother Job Lane. He removed with his family to Casco Bay, Me., and settled on the east side of Cousins River in Freeport, a part of the ancient West Custogo or North Yarmouth. The point and island near took his name, which they have retained to this day. It is supposed that he was killed in an attack of the Indians, 13 Sept. 1688, and his family driven away, as we find no record of him afterward.

From: Ancient North Yarmouth and Yarmouth, Maine 1636-1936--A History by Rowe; page 15: From Malden....came also James Lane. Having lived there for about two years, he came to Westcustogo in 1658, settling on the neck of land on the east side of Cousins River known to us as Fogg's Point, his holdings also included the island which bears his name. This as we have seen was a part of the Royall Grant and we suppose that it was purchased by Lane of him although no deeds are on record to that effect. Lane was evidently a man of some means as his numerous purchases of land, by which he acquired a large estate in this region, seem to testify. At first he lived in a small, rather old house near the shore but later built a large new house in which he lived until the first war broke out when, he being killed, the family was driven away.
James Lane is supposed th have been twice married, his first wife's name being Ann by whom he had a daughter of that name. James Lane left six children, Ann, John, Samuel, Henry, Job, and James. Ann lived as the wife of John, the son of Richard Bray, but seems never to have been legally married to him. John married Dorcas, the daughter of John Wallis of Falmouth and lived near his father-in-law at Purpooduck Point until King Williams War, when he removed to Gloucester, Massachusetts. The family has had representatives in town during its entire history and the present Lane families in Yarmouth trace their descent form the pioneer through his oldest son, John. They are, we believe, the only family now in Yarmouth, with the exception of the Royalls, in whose veins flows the blood of a pioneer of Wescutogo. [re: Lane Family, vol. 3, part 3]

B. Lake Noyes LDS Papers: John Lane was born about 1635; and with his wife and children, came to Gloucester, about the close of the seventeenth century, from Falmouth, Me.; driven thence, probably, on the second destruction of that place by the Indians. John Lane received from the town a grant of common right in 1702; and, in 1704, ten acres of land at Flatstone Cove, where he had already settled, and to which his own name was subsequently given. He m.a daughter of John Wallis, she was the wife that accompanied him to Gloucester. John was living in 1734, at the age of 81; the date of his death is not known. Five of his sons were living when he died. The Gloucester Vital Records have "Dorcas, w. of John, d.Feb. 9, 1754, in her 93rd yr. (GRS)
