WILLIAM McLANE, one of the few remaining of our old pioneers, is a native
of Scott County, Ky., where he was born October 20, 1813, a son of Robert
and Elizabeth (Van Zant) McLane, who were of Irish and German descent, and
among the first settlers of the State of Kentucky. When only three years
old William was brought to Orange County, Ind., by his parents, and was
here reared amidst the hardships and pioneer scenes of that day.  He was
left an orphan in 1864, both parents dying within nine days of each
other's death.  Since 1816 he has always resided within the borders of
Orange County, and can look backward over a well-spent life of seventy-one
years without a blush of shame coloring his cheek for one dishonorable act
of his.  He has made farming his vocation, and now owns a good farm of 120
acres.  March 10, 1836, Martha Irvin, who was born in Kentucky, November
13, 1813, a daughter of William and Polly Irvin, became his wife, and
seven children have blessed them, named Mary (deceased), Eliza J., Samuel
R. (deceased), Jesse E., Margaret (deceased), John (deceased) and Lottie
A. (deceased).  Mr. McLane is a Republican in politics, and he and his
wife are useful and respected citizens of the township. (Northeast
Township).
