Another Revolution worthy gone. Died in Buxton, on the 30th ult., Captain
Jabez Lane aged 88. He entered the Revolutionary Army in the summer of 1775,
in the capacity of 2nd Lieutenant In 1776 he was in the army under the command
of General George Washington, when New York was evacuated by the American
troops and bore a part in the action at Harlem and White Plains, and in the
capture of the Hessians at Trenton. In the spring of 1777 he received a captain's
commission, and at Fort Edward, joined the army, then on its retreat from
Ticonderoga, and took command of the a company in Colonel Nixon's
regiment. The regiment to which he was attached bore an active share in all
the action which preceded the capture of Burgoyne. Capt. Lane continued in the
service until 1780, when his domestic affairs requiring his attention, and
believing that the independence of his country was virtually accomplished he
requested a discharge. During this period he was engaged in much active service
and no officer of his grade bore a higher reputation for bravery and military skill.
Although he took part in many engagement, Capt. Lane had the good fortune to
escape from them all without a wound. His company when it left Long Island,
numbered 120 men, but the battles at Harlem, White Plains and Trenton, and the
suffering of retreat through the Jerseys, reduced it to 20. After he retired from the
service, he resumed the business of a farmer, and continued in that peaceful and
respectable occupation through the long reminder of his life, sustaining to the end
the character of an industrious intelligent and upright citizen. His latter days were
cheered, in some measure by the tardy justice of his country, having awarded him a
pension-and he went down to the grave full of years and liquor. It may perhaps
not to be amiss to mention that at the commencement of hostilities, two brothers of
Capt. Lane also entered the service of their county; one of them as Captain and the
other as 2nd Lieutenant; of the same company with the subject of this brief and
imperfect notice, they having enlisted the whole company by their own efforts.
