Elias Spoon, dau. Mary married William Lane N.C. to Mo.
I am trying to make a connection to The family of Elias Spoon of N.C.His daughter Mary married William Lane. They probably migrated from N.C., to Putnam Co., Ind. and on to Crawford Co., Missouri by 1840. I believe this would be a second marriage for William Lane. William died in 1851. He did not leave a will.
Children not proven:
James born in Putnam Co., Ind.
Pleasant A. Lane born 1833, Putnam Co., Ind. (This Pleasant is not the son of Aquilla Lane.
Abigail - born in N.C. she had a small child with the last name of Spoon living with her after 1880 in Mo.
Ruth born in N.C.
Catherine
There is a big time frame between Abigail and Ruth to James and Pleasant.
That is why I suspect that Mary was the 2nd wife of William.
Other Lanes living in the same area in Missourim but not connected - Children of Aquilla Lane, sons Francis Marion and Pleasant D. Lane - Charles Lane and descendents.It is easy to get them confused.
Thanks
