Looking for Lane of Texas
bhowell15
I've been looking for my great-grandfather, William Oscar Lane, born around 1850. Not sure if he was born in Texas, but settled around Travis County, Texas, possibly Bastrop County. Married Mary Medora Moore and had 2 children, Octavia(1870) and James Thomas(1879).
William Oscar disappeared in 1880. The only accurate information I have is his name. His grandson (b.1903) was named after him.
Any help is appreciated.

He said his father's name was Oscar Brack Lane. I don't know if there is any relation. Please write to me at tulsaokgirl@hotmail.com. My father never talked about his child hood, his father deserted his mom with 3 kids.
