• Notes

  According to LAYNE-LAIN-LANE GENEALOGY, CHAPTER A Descendants of William Lain-Layne of Amherst County, Virginia: In connection with the construction of an addition to the county court house at Amherst, Virginia, in 1961, some lost Court Order Books were found. The many court actions recorded therein'97 most of which were small suits'97do much to reveal life as it was lived nearly two hundred years ago along the Tye River [a branch of the James River], by the Lane-Laine-Layne families, the families of Lavender, Tandy, Shannon, Stratton, Robertson, Bowman, Gatewood, Arrington, Wright and others. The Reverend Bailey Davis of Amherst searched these lost Court Order Books and found much that is important in tracing these early Virginia families. WILLIAM LAINE SR: b c 1700.
