| From 1882 History of De Witt Co. (Creek Twp): In the year 1835 two- brothers, Ezekiel and John Lane or Jackie, as he was familiarly called, came from Hamilton county, this state, where they had lived since 1827, having originally come from Tennessee. Ezekiel. made his temporary home in the cabin deserted by Hamilton, whilst, with the aid of Felix Jones and neighbors, John built a rude cabin on Sec. 11. In the fall of the same year Felix Jones erected a cabin near where Tillmon Lane now lives, on Sec. 10, into which Ezekiel Lane moved... John Lane was also a preacher of the Christian connection, or New Light faith, bold in his declarations, very firm in his convictions, indeed, his firmness amounted almost to obstinacy. He was an original Abolitionist, one of the first four within the limits of the county. An impediment in his speech detracted from his power as a preacher. | ||||||||||||||||||||
