See again, Document #2.
Please review the application of Mrs. Nease as you read through the following, beginning with Mrs. Nease and moving backward through each generation she lists. Each of the following is based on my research.


EMMA McKINLEY NEASE
Mrs. Emma McKinley Nease was born July 30, 1875 in Washington Co., PA. She was the daughter of Henry L. and Rebecca Flowers McKinley. Emma married on July 5, 1891 to William G. Nease, in Buffalo, NY ("eloped", James McKinley Bible record from the "Keyhole" magazine, July 1988).  The preceding information is from "Observer - Reporter" newspaper, Washington, PA., Jan. 2, 1968 page B-9 in the Obituary of Emma M. Nease. She died Monday, Jan. 1, 1968 at age 92. 

*See documents numbered 3 (Bible) and 4 (Obit Emma) 

William G. Nease was born Feb. 17, 1867 in West Alexander, Washington Co., PA., and died at his winter apartment in Hollywood, Ca., Feb. 11, 1939, age 72, according to his Obituary in the "Reporter" newspaper, Washington, PA. on Feb. 13, 1939, page one; body returned to Washington, Pa. for burial.  

*See Document #5

I have not researched Emma McKinley Nease or her husband William G. Nease.  They were wealthy and lived in the City on the East side of Washington, PA.  I have a little on the NEASE ancestry.

THE FATHER OF EMMA McKINLEY NEASE
Emma's father was Henry L. McKinley born Feb. 25, 1846 (according to the James McKinley Bible record, printed in KEYHOLE magazine, July 1988, pp. 107-108), Henry L. McKinley died on Saturday, May 26, 1894 (same record) at age 48, according to "Washington Observer" newspaper, Washington, PA., Saturday, May 28, 1894, page one. 

*See document #3 (Bible - James) and #6 (Obit - Henry)

I have not done the McKinley ancestry and only have a little on this surname.

THE MOTHER OF EMMA McKINLEY NEASE
Emma's mother was Rebecca Flowers McKinley, born Feb. 4, 1846, in North
Bethlehem Township, Washington Co., PA., and died on June 9, 1933, according to "Washington Observer" newspaper, June 10, 1933, page one, and in the "Washington Reporter" also on June 10, 1933, page 23.

*See document #7 and #8 (Obit Rebecca)

Henry L. McKinley and Rebecca Flowers were married on June 25, 1873
("Washington Reporter" newspaper, July 16, 1873, p. 5 "Marriages").

*See Obit #8 (newspaper Marriages)

Rebecca moved from North Bethlehem Twp. to the City of Washington at age 12 yrs. with her mother (see parents, below). Rebecca was a member of the Ten Mile Church of the Brethren, Marianna, PA from birth until moving into the City. [They then attended church at ____________, east Washington.


Henry McKinley was a prominent and rich man in Washington County, PA. His business was in oil.  Rebecca and Henry are buried in the Washington Cemetery, Washington (city), Washington Co., PA

I have a little on the McKinley family ancestry.




THE ANCESTRY OF EMMA'S MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS:

Rebecca Flowers McKinley was the daughter of Samuel and Mary A. Lane Flowers of South Strabane Twp, Washington Co., Pa. (Two obituaries of Rebecca Flowers McKinley, cited above.) 


Samuel Flowers was born (where? when?) and died Sept. 5, 1876, aged 66 years., according to his obituary in the "Washington Reporter" newspaper, Washington, Pa., Sept. 20, 1876. (NOTE - death was NOT in 1878 as Mrs. McKinley listed on the DAR Application.)  Samuel Flowers is supposedly buried at the Pigeon Creek Dunkard Baptist Cemetery, Scenery Hill, PA. in an unmarked grave. My proof of where he is buried is first based on the personal knowledge of now-deceased Mr. Ray Knestrick, Sr., a newspaper columnist late of Washington Co., PA. (From articles written by Ray Knestrick, Sr., "Old Names, Places Recalled", 5 part series, Sept. 7, 1966, Sept. 21, 1966, Sept. 30, 1966, Oct. 14, 1966, and Oct. 20, 1966; list of names in the articles made by Ray Knestrick; Samuel Flowers is mentioned as being buried in the South Pigeon Creek Dunkard Cemetery. Also, Samuel Flowers is on a cemetery list that Mr. Ray Knestrick personally sent to my Grandmother, Ruth Lane McGary, based upon his personal knowledge.)  The second reason we think Samuel is buried in this cemetery is this is where his at least 2 of his daughters, his son, and his in-laws (LANE) are buried.  

Samuel Flowers was a well-known Stage Coach Driver on the National Pike. (See the 1894 book "The Old Pike: A History of the National Road" by Thomas Searight).  Not much is known about Samuel.  We do not know the parents of Samuel Flowers yet, but believe he is connected to the FLOWERS of Greene Co., PA.

Mary A. Lane Flowers, born about 1818 (DAR application says 1820) probably in Strabane (now South Strabane Twp.), Washington Co., Pa., and died after 1880 (alive 1880 Census) probably in the City of Washington, Washington Co., Pa.?). The DAR application says Mary A. Lane Flowers died in 1887 (why wouldn't they have recorded her full birth and death dates if they had her Bible record, as NEASE claimed?)

The DAR application says Mary A. Lane married Samuel Flowers in 1841.  I have not found any proof to verify this date. No marriage records were kept in the Ten Mile Church of the Brethren at this time, and Church Minutes do not start until 1845.  There are no civil records this early.   It unknown who married them or where (J.P. or church; we assume she was married by one of the Brethren, such as Elder John Wise or possibly by her brother, Rev. Daniel Lane; not sure if her father was a preacher or not.)   The year 1841 for marriage would fit with birth of her children.  She was a member [listed as Mary Flowers] at the Ten Mile Church of the Brethren beginning in year 1862 (see Book of Names). Samuel Flowers is shown as a member here beginning in 1864.  [Persons may have attended and technically been members long before they appear in the Book of Names.  From studying this list of members, one can conclude the following points: 1. no record was made of babies, children, or teenagers;  2. no record was made of a person until adult baptism (declaration of faith) which could occur as a teenager or adult; 3. many members do not appear in the membership list until after they get married.  Mary's father and grandfather were prominent in this church, her father being a Reverend and her grandfather being a founder before the church building was constructed.]  

Mary A. Lane Flowers had lived with her husband in West Bethlehem Twp. (We think they lived in her father's house? until after his estate was settled & house/property was sold? He died Dec. 22 or 24, 1844), then later in South Strabane Township on land (being rented?) from her brother, Reverend Daniel Lane and wife Anna England Lane.  But, for some reason they lost this land, possibly after Samuel Flowers died?   Mary wrote a letter to her sister-in-law after the death of Mary's brother, Joseph Lane (Carrollton, Carroll Co., OH), in which Mary bitterly laments the fact she has to rent in the City of Washington. Her daughters Sarah and Caroline (both under maiden names but apparently with children) live with her.

Mary A. was living in the East end of Washington in 1880 next to the NEASE family. I have been unable so far to locate a date of death through the courthouse (no death records kept this early).  No church records were kept for deaths (or marriages).  We have not yet found her obituary.  I know that she is alive in the 1880 Washington Co., Pa. Census and is not in the 1900 Washington Co., PA Census.  She is also supposedly buried in the Pigeon Creek Dunkard Cemetery, Scenery Hill, Washington Co., PA. in an unmarked grave, according to personal knowledge of now-deceased Mr. Ray Knestrick, Sr., a newspaper columnist late of Washington Co., PA.  We also can assume she is buried there since at least 2 of her daughters, her son, and her LANE parents are buried there. 

(NOTE: Several people, including this researcher, have made grave listings of the Pigeon Creek Dunkard Cemetery, including Mr. Ray Knestrick, Sr.)

THE ANCESTRY OF EMMA'S MATERNAL GREAT-GRANDPARENTS 

THE FATHER OF MARY A. LANE FLOWERS:
The father of Mary A. Lane Flowers was JOHN LANE ("SR.") who we believe was born about 1780.  This is based on his approximate age given in his Obituary and based on a Frederick Co., MD Orphan's Court record made in 1794 - John LANE Apprenticed to Martin GARVER, Frederick Co., MD - John Lane was age 14 in 1794.  His place of birth is unknown (possibly Md, Pa., or maybe Va.?? but I suspect he came from York Co., PA where other Brethren lived; these other Brethren migrated from York Co., PA into Frederick Co., MD and to the south and west.). We do NOT KNOW the CORRECT parents of John Lane, Sr. of Washington Co., Pa. who died Dec. 24, 1844.  In a Carroll Co., Ohio Biographical Sketch of John Lane Sr.'s grandchild, Jacob D. Lane, our John was supposedly in the war of 1812 and John Sr.'s father had been in the Revolutionary War, but we cannot find the name of the correct Revolutionary soldier. We suspect, but cannot prove, that John Lane Sr. was related to the LEHN family of York Co. originally; the particular LEHN family had a mill they sold in Frederick Co., MD and owned a mill in York/Adams Co., PA. When they sold the mill in Maryland, they returned to York Co., Pennsylvania. This LANE family included a Revolutionary War veteran, so the pieces seem to connect to York Co., PA More research is needed.  If we are correct that we connect to the York/Adams Co., PA LEHN family, that soldier's service is documented.

The first record we can find on John Lane, Sr. is the Orphan's Court record in Frederick Co., MD. as an orphan "with no parents in this State," at age 14. Martin Garver was prominent in the Beaver Dam Brethren congregation; his home was used as a Brethren meeting house long before the congregation built their tiny church. If John Lane Sr. was not born into a Brethren family, he was immersed in the Brethren ways through living with Martin Garver and family. The prominent Brethren leaders of Daniel Leatherman (father of the 7 Maryland Churches) and Christopher Sailor were living and preaching in this area. Within 5 miles is Pipe Creek where another Brethren congregation formed (and Pipe Creek is where John Lane's future wife lived.)


The second record we can locate is his marriage on Jan. 23, 1805 to Catherine Baker, according to Marriage Record at Frederick Co., MD Courthouse (Also see marriage license submitted to NSDAR by Mrs. Nease.) 

John Lane, Sr. (along with his wife and 2 small children; and with his BAKER in-laws) moved from Frederick Co., MD around 1809-1810 to Washington Co., PA where he lived in Amwell then West Bethlehem Townships until his death (Our belief is based on when Joseph Baker sold his Frederick. Co,. Maryland land. Our proof also rests on a 1809 Road Petition, Amwell Twp., Washington Co, Pa. that lists John Lane asking for a road into Joseph BAKER's land (his father-in-law), and on the 1810 Census, Amwell Twp., Washington Co., Pa , of Joseph Baker -- we believe John Lane, Sr., wife and 2 small children were living in Joseph Baker's home with Baker's wife Mary/Meri and son, Phillip Baker. 

Our next proof of John Lane, Sr.'s location in the county is that he is listed on the first page of "The Book of Names" for the Ten Mile Church of the Brethren, Washington Co., Pa. and he is listed in a block entry that is untitled; the next block of names is titled "members before 1838" so logically he was a member also before 1838.  It would be logical to assume that the Book of Names was started either (1) around 1800 when county histories state the congregation "organized" although the Brethren had been in the county for at least 50 years; or (2) in the late 1820s but before ca. 1830-31, when the congregation decided to build their first dedicated church building, the brick structure still in use today, which was completed in 1832; or (3) no later than when the church was finished (1832).   ("The Book of Names" was printed in The Keyhole Magazine, SW Pa. Genealogical Society). No records exist of members before this "Book of Names."   Catherine Baker Lane was not listed in "The Book of Names" (note: she supposedly died 1822; Ten Mile Church of Brethren not built until about 1832, although the Brethren were meeting at Spohn's Meeting House from about 1775 to 1832, and Shidler's prior to that, and the fact that the Brethren were in Washington Co., Pa as early as 1750; again, no early records exist for those earliest years.) 

The 1820 and 1830 Census show that John Lane is living in West Bethlehem Twp., Washington Co., PA.  Part of Amwell Twp. was taken to form West Bethlehem Twp.   John Lane, Sr. attempted to buy part of his father-in-law's land but lost it after the father-in-law, Joseph Baker, then the brother-in-law, Phillip Baker, both died (Joseph died 1815; Phillip died 1816).  John Lane does buy land that is beside Joseph Baker's land at Sheriff Sale of John Haines.  This is where John Lane Sr lives until his death on Dec. 24, 1844 {Note: a second record said Dec. 22nd].

According to John Lane Sr.'s Obituary which appeared in the Jan. 11, 1845 edition of the "Reporter" newspaper, Washington, PA., John Lane ("Sr.") died on December 24, 1844 at his home in West Bethlehem Township, Washington, PA. The obituary states he was "aged about 70 years". If he was 70 years old, his birth year would be about 1774.

BIBLE CONCERNING JOHN LANE, SR.
Please note that we also have the family Bible record of Robert Johnson Lane (son of Daniel Lane and grandson of John Lane Sr.) which has the name John Lane, Sr. on the top of the page with a date of Dec. 22, 1844 (the type of date is not specified in the Bible record, e.g. that it is a death date). We have a Xerox Copy of Minnie Estella Lane's Bible Record that lists at the beginning John Lane (Sr.) also.  Other Bibles of various family branches begin with the same entry.  See a later section of this letter for a list of all known Bibles.

(The DAR Application claimed the Flowers family had a Bible which listed John Lane Sr., but Mrs. Nease's daughter told me the family burned it.  I doubt they would have burned it and doubt a Bible ever existed.)

THE OBITUARY OF JOHN LANE, SR. 
"Reporter" newspaper, Washington, Pa.
dated Jan 11, 1845
died Dec. 24, 1844
TRANSCRIPT:
"DIED- At his residence in West-Bethlehem Township, on Tuesday the 24th of Dec. ult. of Palpitation of the Heart. Mr. John Lane, aged about 70 years. Mr. Lane arose in the morning in good health and in the course of a few hours was a corpse."


We suspect that both John Lane, Sr. and Catherine Baker Lane were buried in an unknown location possibly on the land of her father, Joseph Baker, in Amwell Township, Washington Co., PA.   We think John Lane wanted part of the property of his father-in-law possibly because his wife was buried there??  I do not think John Lane and Catherine Baker Lane were buried on Lane land, as it had been previously owned by John Haines; there is relationship between the Haines and Bail family but I have not proven a relationship between any Haines and Lane so far, except the fact that HAINES were intermarried with BAIL/BAILE/BAILS and that the LANE family was also intermarried with BAIL/BAILE/BAILS. (More research is needed to find John Lane Sr.'s parents and siblings which will shed more light on relationships to other families.) It is possible that John Lane, Sr. could have been buried at the Ten Mile Church of the Brethren (built in 1832 but the cemetery lot was used before that year) or at Pigeon Creek Dunkard Church (built about 1858-1860; this is a less likely site although it was used earlier than 1859 for burials).  It is possible he is buried at "Dutch Glory" Bethlehem Lutheran Church which was also close to his home but this is unlikely since John Lane Sr. was always affiliated with the Brethren German Baptists (from at least age 14 or before). These ideas are speculation, especially since we do not know where the wife was buried.

THE ANCESTRY OF EMMA'S MATERNAL GREAT-GREAT-GRANDPARENTS 

THE MOTHER OF MARY A. LANE FLOWERS:
The mother of Mary A. Lane Flowers was Catherine Baker Lane. Mary A. Lane Flower's maiden name is verified through (1) a personal letter she wrote to her sister-in-law Susannah McClure Lane <w/o John Lane, Jr., s/o John Lane Sr. of Washington Co., Pa.> in 1879 and (2) in the text of the "Observer Reporter" obituary for Rebecca Lane McKinley on June 10, 1933. Other than Mrs. Nease's DAR application, we do not have further proof of the dates of birth or death for Catherine Baker Lane, nor the location of her birth or death.  The marriage of Catherine Baker to John Lane Sr. has already been documented in this letter.

Catherine Baker Lane's parents were Joseph and Mary/Meri (? Sowers ? or maybe HAINES?) Baker, which is supported by piercing together bits of information from the various public records as available. This information, along with conclusions we have drawn based on these materials, follows next.
1. a. CENSUS 1790 JOSEPH BAKER, FREDERICK CO., MD.
1 maile 16+
1 male 16-
2 females
0 all other free
0 slaves
1. b. Joseph Baker is listed in "Assessment of Real Property, 1798"District #2 "Israel's Creek" and "Manor Hundreds" (My researcher did not have enough time to check other Districts. Because of poor health, I have not had a chance to go back to Frederick Co., Md. to research when Joseph Baker first bought his lands.)
2. Jan. 1, 1794 - The first indication of our John Lane (Sr.) in Frederick Co., Md. is:
John Lane age 15 in Jan 1st 1794 Apprenticed to Martin Garver Jan 1 1794 Rec. Orphans Court Minutes Register of Wills Office 1794 book
3. 23 Jan. 1805 - John Lane marries Catherine Baker Lane, Frederick Co., MD.
4. Oct. 1809 - Joseph Baker sells his Maryland land to Daniel Sayler (aka Sailor), adjoining lands of Jacob Garber and Christian Garber, Leonard Young and Samuel Garber, and moves to Washington Co., PA., and we believe based on circumstantial evidence that John and Catherine Baker Lane (and children) moved as part of Joseph Baker's household, with wife Mary (Sowers? Haines?) Baker and son, Philip Baker. Deed sale marked with "X" of both Joseph Baker and Mary Baker. (Later, in Washington Co., PA, Mary (Sowers? or Haines?) Baker signed her name as Meri Beckar on her husband's Account papers.
5. 1809 Road Petition - John Lane is listed on a petition in Amwell Twp., Washington Pa. seeking a road to be put through on the Baker property (Road Petitions, Law Library, Vault, Washington County Courthouse, bottom floor, Washington Co., Pa.)
6. Census 1810 for Joseph Baker - we believe John and Catherine Baker Lane are part of this household.

Not much is known about Catherine Baker Lane. Her father, Joseph, died in 1815. Brother Phillip Baker (married to a BAIL) died in 1816; his records list an uncle, John Baker (brother to Joseph Baker). Catherine Baker supposedly died in 1822.  We believe all of these Bakers deaths from 1815-1822 might be connected to the volcanic eruptions overseas which affected weather trends worldwide and caused snow and cold weather in the summer, crop failures, disease, and many deaths; we assume the Bails were also hard hit by these natural events as were many other families in this county (and elsewhere in the USA).

Documents supporting my research - coming by 2006

ATTENTION INTERNET READERS

            Over the years, I have been contacted by many people who were trying to research based on Emma McKinley Nease's information.  ALL of us have concluded the DAR Application is wrong.

            Because of limited funds, I was never able to share all the documents concerning my research on this problem.   Between 1984 and 1990, I collected documents for all 8 John Lane men from: Frederick Co., MD, Washington Co., PA, Bedford Co., PA, Carroll Co., OH, and Ripley Co., IN.  Overall, I think I've done a superb job of putting together copies of original records that support my case, but, as in all large projects, something may have been overlooked.  I am hopeful that others may have found additional records that can further support my claims.

            I hope within the next 3 to 6 months to scan ALL the documents I have concerning this research.

            YOU can help document the facts about the men I have listed.  I welcome ALL additional documents you might have from your research on this DAR Application --  Please send me an email if you would like to add your documents.

            Also, please leave your comments about this research by clicking on the link below.  (If your comments are on topics or research other than this DAR Application, please use the Guestbook.
