He is probably the Abraham Lane who petitioned in 1732 for a license to keep a public house in Readington, and later moved to Middlesex where he was appointed Judge of the Common Pleas in 1751. In 1752 he is recorded as a freeholder at Piscataway Twp. On 13 Dec 1750, he purchased at Sheriff's sale 255 acres of land formerly of John Porterfield, deceased, on "the north side of South Branch of the Raritan River," being land once surveyed for "John Drummon, Earl of Metford." It is assumed that Abraham never lived there. Witnesses to the deed were his brother Hendrick Lane and son-in-law Aaron Van Seklen. Abraham and his wife appear between the years 1730 and 1749 on the baptismal records at Marlborough, Somerville, Harlingen and Readington.
