at a Meeting of ye Proprietors of Narraganset TownShip Nº 1 Held at ye Meeting House in Sd Township on Wed- nesday y Eighth Day of July 1767
[From the original manuscript in possession of Miss Mehitable W. Lane, of Buxton, Maine. ]
Died in Buxton July 14th, 1822, Captain John Lane, aged 88 years. Cap+. Lane was a patriot and hero of the Revolution. He was appointed, at the age of twenty, a Lieutenant under his father, and had, himself, the command of Fort Halifax, on the Kennebeck river, in the old French war. In 1756, the command devolved on him in consequence of the death of his father. He took an active part at the commencement of the war which severed America from England ; as early as the Spring of 1775. he was ap- pointed commander of a company which he and his under officers raised, consisting of one hundred and twenty men. He was also appointed Com- missioner to treat with the Penobscot tribe of Indians. then on the point of joining their forces to the British Army ; he succeeded and agreed upon the preliminaries of a treaty, after encountering every obstacle that British agents could devise to prevent it, and prevailed on Orono, their Chief, and some others of the tribe, to accompany him to Cambridge, where the treaty was ratified, and has always been strictly adhered to.
Immediately after his return to Cambridge, he was joined by his recruits and ordered to repair to, and take command of, Cape Ann Harbour, an im- portant post. He was at the place when the famous prize taken from the enemy by Capt. Manly, consisting of ordnance and military stores, arrived. and defended and repulsed the British, who made an attempt to retake the prize. (which was then considered a very important acquisition). The stores were immediately landed and sent to Cambridge. He was a man of strong mind, invincible and sanguine in whatever he undertook, and al- ways exhibited striking specimens of bravery and foresight ; his genius soared above all vulgar enterprizes ; he gloried in defending his country against outrage and oppression. As a relative and friend, his character was estimable and exemplary. He beheld the approach of the King of Terrors with true Christian calmness, resignation and fortitude, which in every sit- uation of his life, was a characteristic trait of the man.
[From the original manuscript among the Papers of the HIon. John Woodman.]
Departed this life in Buxton, on the 14th of July, Instant, Captain John Lane, aged 88 years, leaving a 3d wife, and numerous descendents to de- plore his Death.
He was born & brought up to manhood in the town of York, and was the son of Captain John Lane, who was appointed & Commissiond in the year 1754 by Governor Shirley to the command of a Company in Collonel Winslow's Regiment in the Service of his Majesty George the 2r raised for the defence of the eastern frontier against the incroachments of the French & Indians, in the then Province of the Massachusetts Bay.
The said deceased at the age of 20 years was appointed and Commissiond by Governor Shirley, a Second Lieutenant in said Winslows Regiment, in the service aforesaid; and about two years after, which was in the year 1756, was Commissiond by said Govr Shirley, first Lieutenant in a Com- pany of foot then Commanded by his father. in a Regiment Commanded by Collonel Joseph Dwight, in the forces raised for the defence of the northern frontiers at Lake Champlain, under the Command of General Winslow. -
The said deceased was one of the early settlers of the said town of Bux- ton, where he resided at the commencement of the Revolutionary war,

The said deceased the evening before his Death, called his children that were present around his bed ; and charged them to endeavor to live in love & peace and not suffer any spirit of bitterness to prevail in their journey through life, to interrupt a friendly intercourse among themselves or their neighbors, and cautioned them against excessive mourning his death.
