| Bio and Links |
My 4th Great Grandfather Lane came to Texas by 1835 and settled in a Stephen F Austin colony. His son, Alfred Lane married Charles Goodnight's older sister, Elizabeth. The Goodnights came to Texas in 1850.
Charles Goodnight of the Goodnight Loving Trail fame, and Alfred Lane, an early Texas Ranger, were on a trail drive. Alfred had a dream that his family was in danger from Indians and told his brother-in-law, Charles, he would have to go home. Not long after he departed, Charles Goodnight and the other trail drivers heard yells and screams of an Indian battle coming from Cement Mountain, Texas. By the time Charles reached Alfred, who was dead, on Cement Mountain the battle was over and the Indians had left. Concerned the Indians might return and scalp Alfred, Charles buried him on Cement Mountain and returned to the trail drive. On his way home from the train drive, he left the other trail drivers and retrieved his brother-in-law's decaying body off of Cement Mountain to take it home to Alfred's wife (his sister) and children for burial in Palo Pinto Co., Texas. Charles called Alfred "a splendidly brave man."
I am very interested in Genealogy. My closest family lines are: Ashcraft, Cornelius, Crow, Cuberson, Eastwood, Garrison, Goodnight, Johnston, Key, Lane, Moore, Newton, Prather, Price, PROPHIT, Runnells, Smith, Snidow, Swearingen, Webb, Whilkins, Williams, and Williamson.
Only some of what I enter will be family connected.

I have transferred John memorial to you since you had added his parents.
I could not help but notice the Cornelius name in your list of family names. I am always looking to find new kinfolk.
Do you have any link to the Cornelius family Alabama, especially Blount Co, to Texas? Patriarch - William Cornelius, wife Lettice Cargill. | | | Beckie Saar Leone

Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy in the dates for Charles. I have made a note on in the Bio. I did not make any changes because I did not create the memorial and do not know where the dates listed originated. This way, a researcher can have all the information.

Catherine-
Thanks for transferring my husband's grand- and great-grandparents to me. I did change "Baird" to David. That was never a nickname. I think it was probably misread from the census. I am having a friend send a copy of the 1930 census image.
Do you have a connection to the Keen family.

Thanks for the info. I put the birth year of 1870 in the bio, because if I changed the date different from the stone someone will tell me I made a mistake.
