!MARRIAGE:ca 1765/70 based upon two oldest children's approximate birth dates, and age of wife:
Hepsabeth b. 1752, would be 13 in 1765, so probably earliest age to marry.
John b. 1765/70
Joseph b. c1770.;
!NOTES:To date, I have seen no direct evidence that Hepsabeth Crawford was the wife of Osborne Lane. Osborne's wife was indeed a Crawford, according to W. W. Sellers, so that part tracks, but Mr. Sellers also stated she was a daughter of James Crawford (Jr), when in fact he wasn't old enough to be her father. In a different section he correctly identifies her as a sister of "old James Crawford".
The evidence, such as it is:
(1) Mrs. Lane was a Crawford, if Mr. Sellers is to be believed. His work was based on his memory and the memories of those he interviewed, so he may be correct, though his work does contain errors. However, I'm inclined to believe him on this point.
(2) Mr. Sellers said Mrs. Lane was a daughter of Cpt. James Crawford, when in fact he couldn't be her father (too young). However, he could easily be her brother, and that is probably the case. James's father was also named James, so perhaps that is the source of the confusion. In a different section, Mr. Sellers said Mrs. Lane was a "sister" to "old James Crawford", which is more likely than her being his daughter.
(3) Of the daughters of James Crawford Sr., Hepsabeth (1752) is the only one who was Osborne Lane's age. Her sisters were older (Charity-1742, Mercy-1745). No other daughters are known. By the process of elimination, Hepsabeth is the best choice.
(4) Other researchers, long before my time, concluded Hepsabeth was Osborne's wife, but I don't know how they came to that conclusion, perhaps by the same points I raised above. Or perhaps they had access to source documentation that I haven't seen.
In any event, it is widely accepted that Hepsabeth Crawford is the wife of Osborne Lane. Some primary or even secondary evidence would be nice though.;

Osborne Lane married a Miss Crawford, a sister of old James Crawford, of Spring Branch—I suppose, older than her brother. The Crawfords were quite respectable in that day and have continued to be so down to the present time. The fruits of the marriage, as known, were eight sons, John, Thomas, Alexander, James, Robert, David, Stephen and William, and two daughters, Kesiah and Elizabeth.
