Joe,
My husband is the grandson of Joseph Augustine Lane, son of Henry Lane and Elizabeth Pike Hayter, daughter of Augustine Sr. and Elisabeth Pike [Ransom? have also heard the name Hobbs]Hayter. In some obit for a grandson there are the words, "This Hayter family settled three generations back in the USA and came to Canada as United Empire Loyalists." However, if this were so they would have been in the US before at least 1781, at which time they would have fled to Canada. The family does show up in the 1851 census on Amherst Island, but not before. I also found a marriage document for Augustine and Elisabeth in Bath, England, on March 13, 1830, and a passage for Mr. and Mrs Hayter on the batque Charlotte landing in New York Dec 9, 1831. Any ideas how to reconcile to two ideas?
