Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June 1830.
State of Tennessee
Bradley County SS.
On this 15th day of October 1845, personally appeared before me, an Acting
Justice of the Peace for Bradley County, John Shively aged ninety-five years
and seven months who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath
make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions
made by the Act of Congress of June the 7th, 1832.
That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year 1776 and in the
summer of that year , declarent says, that he went to Shepherdstown, Berkely
County in the state of Virginia in company with one Matthew Shaw. And at that
place ( Shepherdstown) they met with a recruiting officer by the name of
Nathaniel Linder.
Both Declarant and Shaw enlisted in the service of the United States as private
soldiers for the term of three years or during the War of the Revolution if not
sooner discharged and received from said recruiting officer a bounty of Twelve
Dollars. Declarant says that he remained at Shepherdstown some short time after
enlistment. He thinks two months. He says as to the name or number of the
regiment that he served in, he does not recollect, but recollects that he
served under the following named officers vis General Stephans, Col. Carke,
Maj. George Wales and Capt. Spottswood Sandrage.
He says from Sherpherdstown, he with his company marched to New Brunswick in
the State of New Jersey at which place he says he joined the Army under Gen.
Washington at which place he remained but a few days until he was ordered to
march with the Army to a town called Trenton on the Delaware River. At which
place, he says, the Army had a battle with the Hessians under the command of
Col. Raule. The battle, he says, was
fought on the night of the 4 of December 1776 which battle terminated favorable
to the American Army.
Declarent further says that they took nearly the whole garrison prisoners of
war amounting in number to near one thousand. After taking the aforesaid
prisoners, they immediately regrouped at the Delaware River. And he says, that he was one of the guards
ordered to conduct the prisoners immediately to Albermarle Barracks, the County
of Albermarle in the State of Virginia. At which place, declarent says, he
remained some three or four months as a guard.
And, he says, that from Albermarle Barracks, they took the prisoners to
a town in Virginia, called Winchester, at which place, he says, they left the
prisoners. And, he says, he marched
immediately from there to Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, at which place he
was attached to his former company. And,
shortly after that they had a severe battle with the British Army on a creek or
small river called Brandywine. In
preparation for the battle, he says, that he was placed at Chads Ford under the
command of General Wayne, some small distance from where the main battle was
fought at the old Quaker field in which engagement the American Army was
defeated. From Brandywine, he says, he
marched with the Army under the command of Gen. Washington to a camp called
White Marsh. From thence to Germantown
at which place, he says, that they had another battle with the British and were
defeated again. From thence to Valley
Forge, at which place, he says, he remained several months in log huts,
prepared by the Army to ??? in. From
thence to Manmouth. at which place, he says, the two armies had a battle. And, from thence, he says, he went to While
Plains, at which place, he says, he remained several months.
And, from thence, he says, he marched under the command of General Wayne to
Stony Point, which march, he says, was performed in the night in great silence
and ???? unloaded guns. And, the
Americans succeeded in entering the fort and capturing the inmates as prisoners
of war, amounting to nearly nine hundred (900).
And, he says, that after Gen. Wayne got possession of the fort, that it
was with difficulty that Gen. Wayne could prevent the soldiers from massacring
the prisoners.
From thence, he says, he went to West Point in the State of New York and there
remained some time, occasionally marching through the country to and fro and
returning to the above place. From then,
he says, he marched to Little York Virginia. After remaining there some short
time, a cannoning commenced between the two armies which lasted several days
and the result was that Lord Cornwallis with his whole army surrendered
themselves up as prisoners of war to Gen. Washington.
Declarent says that shortly after the Battle of York Town, that he received
from his Capt. Sandridge a written discharge and he further says, that his
whole time he was employed as a soldier, either in garrison or the field and
that he was not engaged in any civil pursuit during the above time. Declarent says that shortly after he was
discharged from said service , he returned to Berkely County, Virginia where he
says, he lived at the time of entering the service, as aforesaid.
Declarent says that about four years after he left the army, that his discharge
was destroyed by fire in Berkely County, Virginia. Declarent says his reason for not applying
for a pension sooner is that he was generally informed that in consequence of
the loss of his discharge, he could not obtain a pension unless he could present
two witnesses that served with the declarent.
He says, he does not know of any witness that he could prove his service
by.
Declarent says that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory that
he cannot positively swear to the length of his service, but according to the
best of his recollection, not less than five years as a private soldier under
the above named officers for which he claims a pension. He hereby relinquishes any claim to a pension
or annuity except the present and he claims that his name is not on any pension
roll of any agency in any State of the United States.
Sworn to and subscribed before me, the day and year aforesaid. S. Royston,
Justice of the Peace for Bradley County and State aforesaid. Witness: P.
Strothers.

5. John Jacob Shively1 was born on July 9, 1751 in York County, Pennsylvania, United States. He was baptized on May 17, 1752 at Christ's Evangelical Lutheran Church in York County, Pennsylvania, United States. He died Unknown.
6. John Heinrich
"Henry" Shively3–10 was born on January 27, 1759 in York County, Pennsylvania,
United States. The Shively Family Bible
lists his birth date as June 1760.
He
was baptized on March 4, 1759 at Sherman's (St. David's) Union Church in York
County, Pennsylvania, United States. A "union" church was one in
which both the Lutheran and Reformed congregations worshiped in the same
building.
He
immigrated about 1780 to Kentucky, United States. His son John M. Shively wrote
the following: "It was at Brownsville, PA that my father first fell in
with Daniel Boone, who induced the settlement to emigrate to Kentucky. The parties that came to Kentucky were
Christian Shively, Henry Shively, Jacob Shively, and one other brother who was
killed by Indians in Henry County, KY.
My father settled at the Falls of the Ohio and they were comparatively
secure, when Boone visited them and persuaded them to emigrate to Danville, KY
to help strengthen the settlement there.
Boone was leading them when they were surrounded on a stream called
Benson, in Henry County, and the greater portion of them were massacred by the
Indians. Here one of my father's
brothers was captured [and killed]. In
this vicinity, they also ambushed a brother of my mother's. His name was Banta."
The Bantas of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky section on the formation of the
Low Dutch Company records the following: "In the Spring of 1784, Abraham Banta
secured a tract of three thousand acres in what is now Shelby County and Henry
County, KY, from Richard Beard. In 1785,
determined to have a look at their purchase before the main group removed to
the new location, Captain Dan Banta, with his brothers Cornelius, Peter, John,
Jacob, and their brother-in-law, Henry Shively set out from Harrod's Station
for what is now Shelby County. They went
into the dense wilderness and built the first cabin within the limits of the
Dutch tract. They were there but a short
time when they were threatened with an Indian uprising, and were compelled to
flee to the nearest station for refuge.
This place was so poorly manned and provisioned that they decided to
send to Harrod's Station for reinforcements.
Jacob B. Banta volunteered to go alone.
While crossing the waters of Benson's Creek at night he was discovered
by the Indians who murdered him with his own tomahawk which they left buried in
his skull as a token of revenge. He been
married only a few weeks to Catharine Voorhees.
The others returned to Harrod's Station when it became safe to venture
out, and reported it was not safe for the families to attempt a settlement in
the isolated wilderness."
Henry and Mary did not take part in the Dutch settlement. They eventually purchased a farm about one
mile north of Taylorsville, KY, on Brashears Creek, in what is now Spencer
County (then Shelby). This is well south
of the main Dutch Settlement around Pleasureville, KY in Shelby and Henry
Counties. They purchased land from
William Pope and his wife. Prior to the
purchase of the farm, Henry and Mary lived in Jefferson County, KY for several
years, although their exact location is not known.
He
immigrated between 1825 and 1828 to Orange, Indiana, United States. This is based on the fact that his 1825 land
purchase lists him as a resident of Kentucky and an 1828 land sale lists him as
a resident of Indiana. He purchased

Shively, aged 82 years. He emigrated to Kentucky at an early age. He was married in Harrods Station in the year
1783 to Mary Banta, with whom he lived until the day of his death. He has been a member of the Baptist Church

obituary reported "William Love was born in Alimance County, North
Carolina, September 23, 1819; died April 3, 1901; aged 81 years, 6 months and
10 days. He was the son of Thomas
Love. His mother's maiden name was Ellen

state, but never put in his letter with any class in this county. He was a blacksmith by trade, a good, kind
and loving husband and father. No father
was more beloved and reverenced by his children than he. No one was more highly respected by his
neighbors. He had no enemies. To know him was to love him. He always acted on the theory 'Do as you
would be done by' to everybody; for during the war of the Rebellion no one was
more ready to look after the women and children, leaving his work he would get
wood, go to mill, do any work that might be brought to him and would never
charge them for it. But with all of
this, the messenger of death came and took him away, not as the rose in the morning, nor as one that was not prepared, but as a rose that had
lived until late in the evening, and when
the summons came he told his family that there was nothing to fear, he
was ready. He is gone. We will no longer hear his voice around the
family circle, encouraging and directing the affairs of the household, and
talking so kindly to all his friends.
Lonesome companion and children; we know thy care,
None can fill his vacant chair
Husband and father is gone from home,
He is on a mission to a foreign shore
He comforted wife and children dear, with the thought that someday you may have
a happy reunion in a world where farewells are never spoken. Memorial services were held at Ames Chapel,
April 4, 1901, led by Rev. W. S. McCallister of Paoli, followed by Rev. Harvey
of French Lick, M. F. Ham, J. P. Rominger, W. H. Porter, Mrs. Elizabeth Porter

resurrection morn." He was buried

120. Penelope Shively8,29 was born about 1860 in Illinois, United States.
A
journal found in Rosalie May Pierson's cottage after her death stated the
following: Rosalie was born near Mt. Carmel, IL to James Bosworth Pierson and
Mary Pierson. Her mother died when
Rosalie was born, her father was killed near the end of the Civil War. She and her brother James were taken in by
James and Sophia Shively, who lived in the neighborhood. James and Sophia returned to West Baden, IN
by wagon when Rosalie was 2 or 3 years old.
On the way, her brother was drowned at a ford in a stream near West
Baden and was buried in a cemetery near Prospect. Sophia and Rosalie moved back to Illinois
after James died, but Rosalie soon returned to Orange County to live with her
"aunt" Martha Shively Lane.
She later stayed with the William Rundell family at English, IN, then
moved to Indianapolis in 1878. She
stated that James Shively had no children.
The evidence, although circumstantial, strongly suggests that the Penelope
Shively listed in the 1870 census is actually Rosalie. The timing is right for when Rosalie claimed
to live with the Shivelys in Indiana, the age is consistent with her age in
later censuses, the birth place is correct and James and Sophia lived in the
Mt. Carmel area at the time Roasalie states that her parents died.
There is some question on her surname.
She is with the William Rundell family in Crawford County in the 1880
census, which lists her surname as Peck.
There is a James Peck who is the right age to be Sophia's brother with
James and Sophia Shively in Illinois in the 1860 census.
She appeared in the census in 1870 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.
She died Unknown.

Orange County Probate Order Book 36, case 1773, page 528, April 15, 1932
reports that Walter Lane by Harry W. Carpenter, Attorney, filed a verified
application for letter of administration issued to Charles C. Lane upon the
estate and property of Wilford M. Lane.
Probable value of the estate estimated at personal property of $250 and
real estate of $1000. Charles C. Lane
posted bond of $500. Probate Order Book
37, page 45, September 17, 1932 lists three claims against the estate: Perry
Lane for $24.50, West Baden Feed Exchange for $12.00, and Phillip S. Lane for
$425.00. Page 92, October 8, 1932
reports that Charles C. Lane resigned as administrator due to moving to Sidell,
IL. Page 93, October 8, 1932 reports that Phillip S. Lane posted $500 bond as
de bonis non administrator for the estate.
Philip sold the real estate to Harry W. Carpenter on April 17, 1933 for
$467, on the same day petitioned the court to declare the estate insolvent
(pages 231-232), and one week later on April 24, 1933, bought the property back
from Harry W. Carpenter for $500. On May
17, 1934, Philip sold the property to Chester and Ermel Lane for $1200. Apparently, Philip could not sell the land to
himself since he was the administrator, so he basically paid Harry W. Carpenter
$33 to take the sale for him, and within one year's time made a profit of $700
on the property.

Edward Lane reported that Charles was a barber during the early years of his
life. Later, he operated a small grocery
store across from the post office in French Lick, IN, until shortly after World
War II. The 1929 telephone directory lists
his store at 205 College Street. When
coffee was a nickel a cup, with no free refills, Charley had the reputation of
drinking his cup two-thirds to three-quarters of the way down, then asking for
his coffee to be "warmed up".
Long after his death, there were people in southern Indiana, when they
wanted their coffee warmed, would say "Charley Lane my coffee".
The Springs Valley Herald (February 3, 1905) reported " All kinds of
people come to French Lick - millionaires and misers, princes and paupers,
sports with money to throw at the birds and parsimonious old codgers who are so
stingy and close that Pluto with all its penetration can't get through
them. But the tightest, flintiest
specimen of Shylock that ever struck this valley ambled into Charlie Lane's
barber shop the other day for a shave.
He sported the somewhat generous name of Pat Scanlan, and hailed from
Peoria, Ill. Before taking the chair he
inquired the price of a shave, and when told that it was 15 cents he threw up
his hands in holy horror and started to leave for another shop; but when told
that it was the same price concluded to remain.
When Charlie came to the finishing touches and said 'Wet or dry?' Pat
said, 'a little oil, please.' Charlie
suggested a little tonic which Pat accepted, but when he went to settle and
found that the tonic was 10 cents extra he raised a howl and swore he'd been
buncoed. Then with tears in his eyes, he
declared he was a poor man with barely enough to get home on. Thinking he might be a pauper, Charlie let
him off. He is reported to be worth
$200,000, and probably is, for he certainly has never squandered his
money. He left for home feeling that
French Lick was a skin game from first to last."

Indiana, United States (book H-6, page 38).
He always loved to read, and he was proud to have held card number 01 at the
French Lick Library (now the Melton Public Library). His favorite genre of literature was the
historical novel, but he also enjoyed mysteries such as "Sherlock Holmes"
and "the Saint". An article
published in the Springs Valley Herald (July 2, 1963) reported "The first
patron of the French Lick Library was 15-year-old Chester Lane, who was given
library card number one." Susie
Owen, the director of the library, wrote the following note to Chester Robert
Lane in December 2014: "Chester Lane did, in fact, receive the first
library card. The FL/WB museum flyer asked, "Who held the first
library card", so people would visit the library exhibit that was up
during October and November. The library
has an attractive plaque in our permanent display case stating that Mr. Lane
was the first to receive a library card . . . . We also had a series of facts
about Chester Lane in the museum display. Jeff [Lane] worked with me on
this. We also have a receipt from Chas. E. Lane Groceries, Meats and
Vegetables from September 9, 1929 (A mop was 25 cents). The first library
was in a room in a house on Maple Street and was opened in 1897. Also, library books were housed in Chas. Lane's
store for a time, across the street from the post office. Your family
lore is correct and the history may be richer than you knew."
He and his brother Clarence owned two gambling establishments, the Club Chateau
in West Baden and the Green Acres Club in French Lick (their uncle, Perry C.
Lane operated the Indiana Club, directly across from the Chateau Club). Both of them worked for a brief time at
casinos in Lake Tahoe, NV and Las Vegas, NV.
Casinos, Copperheads, Pioneers and Politicians reported "The
Club Chateau, adjacent to the Indiana Club, provided casino operations,
eventually became a Baptist parsonage and is at this writing a private
residence." It went on to say,
"The 1950's club closings were dramatic incidents in the history of the
valley. On June 12, 1950, matters came
to a head when Lieutenant Albert R. Stiles of the Indiana State Police at
Jasper ... confiscated roulette, dice, and poker equipment at the Gorge and at
the Club Chateau ... The Gorge and Club Chateau were again raided the week
preceding the Kentucky Derby held the first Saturday in May 1951. Law enforcement officers besieged the Club
Chateau on Thursday evening, May 3, arresting three operators ... twelve
visitors were also arrested." The
Green Acres Club was only open for a short while. Bowing to pressure from the authorities,
Chester converted the building into a motel around 1954.
The original building burned to the ground in 1959 during a flood, and Chester
and Ermel built a new motel on the same site.
Ermel Lane retired and sold the motel in 1975, but the new owners kept
the name Lane's Motel. In November 1994,
a fire once again burned the motel to the ground, and a new motel was built on
the same site. The motel was closed in
late 2017 and was put up for auction.

He
died on June 24, 1963 at the age of 56 at Orange County Hospital in Paoli,
Orange, Indiana, United States. James
Lane related that Chester had colon cancer about 1959. He had had some rectal bleeding for some time
before the cancer was discovered. His
doctor at Washington, IN, thought it was hemorrhoids. He finally had a colonoscopy, which revealed
the cancer. After treatment, which
improved his life somewhat, the cancer reappeared in his bones, and perhaps in
his lungs. Chester's last trip to the
Orange County Hospital began with James and Ermel helping him into the back
seat of the car to take him to the hospital.
However, they only made it as far as the Gulf filling station in West
Baden when Chester said that he didn't think he could make it. They called an ambulance to pick him up. Chester's bones were so weakened by his
cancer that his collar bone broke in the process of getting him into the
car. He died in the hospital about two
weeks later. The hospital put a cot in
his room, and Ermel stayed with him all the time. His death certificate reported the following:
cause of death was pneumonia and colon cancer, residence was French Lick,
Indiana, occupation was motel operator, marital status was married. Chee was
buried on June 26, 1963 at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United
States. He was buried on son Bob's
birthday.

and Ann were living with him in the same motor court as were his brother

Stevenson. His father Charles Lane and a

Valley Herald also reported "Clarence Philip Lane, second son of Charles
and Emma Connell Lane, was born in French Lick on January 22, 1909. He suddenly passed from this world on
February 23, 1953 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 44 years and 1 month. Bud grew up in the home of his parents and

an early age he was united in marriage to Grace Springer. Into their home was born three children,
Patricia, now Mrs. Gene Stevenson of Paoli, Ann and Buddy Joe at home. Bud's cheerfulness, friendliness and his
pleasing personality brought him many friends.
The gift of making friends is one of God's best gifts. To make friends one must forget oneself. It means finding that which is noble and
loving in another and appreciating it.
His generosity is best known to the many who received help when it was
needed. One of the most essential
qualities of real character is the willingness to accept responsibility and Bud
accepted his responsibilities without a murmur or complaint. He was baptized into membership in the First
Christian Church on March 30, 1921 by Rev. N. L. Collins. His gifts to his church were generously and
cheerfully given. His mother preceded
him in death in 1943. Surviving with his
three children are his father, Charles Lane, brother Chester, sister Mrs. Edith
Bledsoe and one grandson, Bruce Stevenson of Paoli. We are never ready for death to claim our
loved ones, and the mystery is even greater when a fine, stalwart young man is
so suddenly stricken and taken from his children who need him so badly. They were his very life and their welfare his
one great interest. God does not plan
for us to understand all things but he has left us many promises that comfort
our hearts. To the loved ones we would
say: tighten your loins with God's promises and keep the strong staff of faith
and hope in your hand. Trust God in your
dark hours of grief. We are safer with
Him in the dark than without Him in the sunshine. His rod and staff never break. Why he takes our loved ones whom we need so
much we know not now but we shall know hereafter. Hebrews 13:5 says, I will never leave thee
nor forsake thee.
For Thou Art With Me
I know not when I go, nor where,
From this familiar scene;
But He is Here and He is There
and all the way between;
And when I pass from all I know
To that dim, vast, unknown,
Though late I stay, or soon I go, I shall not go alone.”
He was buried at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Notes
1. Census Data: Rather than repeat the detail from a family census entry in each person’s record, it has been recorded only in the Head of Household record, and only the census year and location are recorded in the family member records (with a few exceptions, like adult children living with their parents). If you are reviewing a person who is not the Head of Household, be sure to look at the Head of Household entry to see if there is additional information.
2. Name Spelling: The spelling of names in source documents is often incorrect, with the name being spelled the way the writer thought it sounded. The spelling could be different in every document. In most cases the name is reported in this document as it was written, but some gross misspellings have been corrected.
3. Direct Ancestral Line: The direct ancestors of Robert Edward Lane are highlighted in blue.
