Mr. R. A. Atkinson,
221 N. Liberty St.,
Baltimore, Md.

My dear Mr. Atkinson:- Nov.20th last, I wrote you asking
if you had among your Lane notes, proof that the Sarah
Lane who married Zacariah McCubbins, was the daughter of
Rev. Tidence Lane and wife Esther Bibber, but up to the
present time, I have not had a reply.  I would like to get
this proof, for which I think I can get $15.00, which I
will be glad to send you.  I want it for Miss Eleanor Hull,
The Arundel, Baltimore, Md., for her client Mrs. Landstreet
of Richmond, Va.  If you have this, let me know and I will
advise Miss Hull that I can get it for the amount stated
above, and if she does not sent it, you wont need to send
the proof to me, as I do not need it for myself.  I regret
to bother you about this point, but I have tried to get
this record from the owners of the Tidence Lane Bible and
the County records of Jefferson Co., but have failed.

I think I wrote you that I had employed Miss Hull to go
ahead with the Lane search for additional Colonial Dames
and D.A.R. claims.  She writes me that she has found one
each, i.e. "Dutton Lane was Surveyor in 1704, May 22, for
Baltimore County, See H.W.2.p.340 Baltimore Land Records
Office."  "In Oath of Allegiance for Baltimore Co. (See
Folder $300 Md. Hist. Society) Richard Lane & Dutton Jr.,
both sign"

As soon as I hear from Miss Hull again, I am going to take
up this Dutton Lane Surveyor claim with Dr. Culver, and if
he O.K.'s it, will pass it on to you and Cousin Lulane.  The
Richard Lane "Signer" D.A.R. claim, I will have one of my
nieces file supplemental papers on, and as soon as it is
verified, will also pass that on to you both.l

Miss Hull is anxious to continue the search for added C.D.
claims in the following lines, through the wife of Richard
Tydins; Margaret Burrage, wife of Maj. Saml. Lane; Sarah
wife of Richard Lane; and Esther Bibber (Roberts-Bobby)
parents.  I have not decided yet what I will do about these
lines.

With kindest regards and every good wish, I am,

Cordially yours,

CKH:K
