Joseph Lane was born in 1756 at Amherst County, Virginia, a son of Thomas Lane and Mary Simmons. He married Rebecca Bowman in 1775 at Amherst County. Their known children were Anderson, Sarah, John, Mary (Polly), Daniel, and Peyton. He died 13 March 1846 at Roane County, Tennessee, and was buried at the Old Lee Cemetery at Bradley County, Tennessee.

Details of Joseph’s military service are provided in his pension at S*W1783, to which he applied 10 September 1832 at the age of 76 years. His pension paid $60 per year and was continued for his widow after his death. According to his application, he entered the service in the summer of 1780. His commanding officers were Colonel Francis Taylor and Major John Roberts.

His two month enlistment was at Albemarle County, although his residence was Amherst County. At the expiration of his two month enlistment, he was drafted for an additional two months of continued service at Albemarle County as a guard for the British prisoners who had been captured at Saratoga, 17 October 1777. He was again drafted for an additional seven months.

Following his guard duty at Albemarle County, he was marched through Richmond and Williamsburg to Malvern Hills. After this term of service expired, he once again returned to service as a substitute for Charles Rhodes. He marched to Little York where he participated at the siege of York Town and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis, 19 October 1781.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
