This same collection of papers has much relative to John Lane, the only son of Job,who was in the Indian Wars ; but I shall venture on a very slight sketch of these. Theproperty remained with the Lanes until 1796, a case, I believe, without parallel in NewEngland, and since that date, I believe, has been sold. The following signatures andseal were attached to a deed dated in 1742. The signers are Mary AVhitmore, (daughterof John Lane and widow of John Whitmore of Medford,) her two sons and their wives,Mary Hall and Mary Brooks. The seal is repeated against each name. y^ Z^^/^^T^^^^^^^^^. y^^cfTO Of these curious papers abstracts only are given, excepting two or three of the mostimportant. I trust that some of Job Lanes descendants will take interest in them andpublish the entire collection. Yours truly, W. H Whitmore.
