HUSBAND OF FRANCES "FANNY" PROCTOR.

The following was shared by Donald Lane Mar 2016:

"The Revolutionary War marker in the Pendleton Cemetery is a recognition marker placed there because there is no good proof for his grave location. He and his wife Fannie were likely buried in the Vineyard Cemetery, Gate City #67, Red Hill, Scott Co, VA. That cemetery is near the NE corner of Corbin Lane's farm and near the Red Hill Church. It is also near the location of the old road to Alley Valley that started at present day Manville Rd near the Lane-Wisley Cemetery where John Wolfe was buried, and goes across Corbin Lane's farm.

There is an old metal marker in the Vineyard Cemetery and some have said there is an old story that the marker once had the name "Lane" on it.

The date of birth for Corbin Lane is unknown, but he was on a 1763 tax list in Baltimore Co, MD (Pipe Creek in Delaware Hundred) with Samuel Lane Sr and Samuel Lane Jr. ("St Thomas Parish Registers 1732-1850," by Bill & Martha Reamy.) So he was born before 1747 (men were taxable at age 16), but probably not before 1744, since his brother Wilkinson was born in April 1743.

Somewhere along the line there must have been an error in copying his date of death. His will was written on 8 Dec 1816, not 1817. (Scott Co Will Book 1-88) In my records I show his death as Dec 1816 because he may have lived shortly after dictating his will. I do not have any record of when the will was proven."

The following is a note from Sondra Appel (descendant of Heinrich Paul Brack/Prack/Prock):

I have read where Corbin Lane's wife Frances could be either Proctor or Prock. There are people in the Prock family who claim Frances a daughter of Paul Prock who came to America as a Palatine immigrant in 1738 on the ship Winter Galley into Philadelphia, PA. He had spent time in Maryland before going to North Carolina. He had a son, Mathias who was born around 1740 and Frances was said to be born in the 1740's also. Paul Prock took his family to Orange County NC and was there in 1755. I believe Frances could have been a Prock because both my Uncle and I have DNA matches to people related to Frances Prock. I don't have any other documentation of that relationship. Both Corbin Lane and the Paul Prock family lived on the frontier for a large part of their lives where records are scarce. Both spent time in North Carolina. Corbin Lane and Mathias Prock were very close in age and they both served in the Rev. War as supplying goods to the troops on the Western Front, but were not in the military.
