- !NOTE:Maiden name of "Johnson" is unproven. It is per Sellers, who wasn't sure.
If she IS a Johnson, she could be the same Mary Johnson, daughter of my ancestor Benjamin and Mary Johnson, who was born about this same time.
She could be a Biggs instead. Richard Biggs and Rebecca Biggs (apparent siblings to each other) were neighbors of the Lanes and both were born in NC. Mary was listed as born in NC in 1860 (not on other census though) and Rebecca was living with her in 1870.

...
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.
...
Of the sons of old Osborne Lane, it is not known which of the eight was the older- I think, however, John, who was a very old man in 1840 (the year old man Osborne died) . John Lane had but one son, John G. Lane; don't know who his mother was ; John G. Lane married, I think, a Miss Johnson ; they had but one child, a daughter; don't know what became of her; John G. Lane died years ago, was an excellent man and good citizen. ;
