As abstracted in the Randolph Co NC Genealogical Journal , Spring 2000, pgs 47-47.
This case file was JOHN LANE- 1826.  This was a large file involving Estate
settlement and other disagreements within the Lane family, including division of
land.  Mentions several family members, and includes Tidence Lane, son of John
Lane, who resides in Maury Co, TN as a material witness.  Apparently there was
also a Tidence Lane residing in NC, involved in this 1826 file, and who also will
be Administrator for Samuel Redfern's estate in Randolph Co in 1836 (probably died
in McNairy Co).
