John Wesley Lane was married to the sister (Rebecca Godfrey)of my g-g-grandfather John Sibley Godfrey. They were married in Stillwater, Minnesota (not Oklahoma) on October 1, 1852, and then came to Jackson County, Wisconsin, and lived in rural Alma Center, which is 12 miles from where I live. In 1872, the Lanes sold their farm and moved to Clarks, Nebraska, and then to South Bend, Washington. Rebecca taught school out west for many years. She was born in Colchester (not Glouchester) County, Nova Scotia
