2nd Edition: Morphew-Murphy Story, J.R. Murphy, 1 May 2002





JAMES BANE, OF SCOTLAND, FATHER


JAMES BANE, the earliest known Bane, was born in Scotland about 1650, possibly at Kirkliston in the Lothian region. He died 1731 Scotland. One record suggests his parents to be John Bane and Elizabeth Clark. His wife’s name is unknown but one listing states her to be Helen Thompson, who is born ~1661 in Lothian and another suggests Jean Chambers who is born ~1661 in Lothian. Both are questionable since neither son names any daughter either Helen or Jean. It is not known for sure if James Bane died in Scotland or came to America. There are two currently known sons, both of which came to America. Please note that Quaker dates prior to 1753 mark the 1st monthly date either as January or sometimes March. That is why the month is not named in the following entries.



ALEXANDER BANE, BROTHER, 1ST GENERATION IN AMERICA



Alexander Bane
Born: ~1688 Scotland

Died: unknown

Married: Jane __.



Alexander and Jane Bane were active in the Goshen Quaker settlement at Chester County, Pennsylvania. Both appear at the Quaker marriage of James Burk to Mary Bane, daughter of Mordecai Bane in 1730. In 1734, Alexander again witnessed the Quaker marriage of Mordecai Bane Jr. to Mary Cullen at Goshen. Jane was not a witness this time. Children of Alexander Bane and Jane, as entered on Goshen Quaker records are:



1. Mary Bane was born 26/9th month/1715. Quaker records definitely state this Mary is the daughter of Alexander Bane.

2. William Bane was born 19/8th month/ 1717 and married Margaret __ . The Goshen Quaker records note William and Margaret had two sons: Thomas Bane, born 11/6th month/1747 and buried 29/6th month/1769, and Jonathan buried 4th month 1765.

3. Alexander Bane (Jr.), 17/9th month/1721

4. Daniel Bane, 25/11th month/ 1723

5. Jane Bane was noted on separate non-Quaker record, as a daughter of Alexander Bane of Goshen. Jane married Jonas Chamberlain, an emigrant who settled in Sadsbury, Lancaster County, Pa. and married 8 September 1734. Jonas died 9 August 1771 and Jane died 3 April 1777. There were 9 children.





MORDECAI BANE, 1ST GENERATION IN AMERICA





Mordecai Bane
Born: ~1683 England or Inverness Shire, Scotland

Married 1st to Naomi Medley on 29 December 1705 at St. Pauls Church, Chester

County, Pennsylvania

2nd to Mary Teague on 8 June 1731 with records at Christ Church, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Died: 1747 at Goshen, Chester County, Pennsylvania

Immigrated to America: before 1715

Parents: James Bane (~1650) of Scotland and __



Naomi Medley (the surname is questioned to be Smedley, as a family of Smedleys are recorded in the Goshen Quaker records. There are no Medleys.)

Born: ~1683, location not determined

Died: before 1730 at Chester County, Pennsylvania

Parents: unknown



Mary Teague

Born: about 1687

Died: unknown

Parents: unknown



Mordecai Bane shows up on the Goshen Quaker marriage record of his daughter Mary Bane to James Burk on 11/7th month/1730 with his children, but not his wife. She probably was not alive at this date. In 1734, he and his second wife Mary witness the marriage of Mordecai Bane Jr.



The will of Mordecai Bane written 12/6th month/1745 and proven 12/8th month/1747 - Bane, Mordecai, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Yeoman. Exec and wife: Mary and son Nathan. Children: Mordecai, Nathan, James, Joseph, Samuel, Isaac, Sara, Hannah, Rachel, Barbara, Jane, and Mary Burk



Children of Mordecai Bane and Naomi Medley have only suggestive birth dates. Isaac Bane, Samuel Bane, Rachel Bane, Barbara Bane, Jane Bane and Joseph Bane do not show up in the Goshen Quaker records, and more than one may belong to Mary Teague + Mordecai Bane.



1. Mordecai Bane Jr., born ~ 1708 and married Mary Cullen in __, 1734 at the Goshen Quaker Meeting House. Witnesses to the marriage included in sequence Hannah Bane, James Bane, Mary Bane, Sarah Bane, Nathan Bane, and Mordecai Bane, and earlier on the list Alexander Bane.

(7) Deborah Bane, married Samuel Rea on 14 April 1774.



3. James Bane (Bean), born ~1716, married Rebecca __.



James Bane + Rebecca __ and James Burk + Mary Bane seem to follow similar paths between 1742 and 1760 into Augusta County, Virginia. Sometimes the surname is spelled Bean. The following records for James Bane are recorded at Augusta County, Virginia.









AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA RECORDS FOR JAMES BANE

MANY IN TODAY’S BEDFORD COUNTY

14/7th month/1730: “Friends appointed to attend the marriage of James Burk and Mary Bane. They brought their certificate to be recorded.”





Comment on the Wedding record: There seems to be no Burkes at the wedding – why? The older children of Mordecai Bane (born ~1683 Scotland) are listed at the marriage – Nathan, James, Sarah, and Mordecai Jr. Mary Medley is noticeably absent and may be dead. One lone dissident voice says her surname should be Smedley. Take a look at the witness list, but this entry may not be relevant. There are no Medleys anywhere in the Goshen Quaker records and I failed to check for Smedleys. Also note that the Quakers do not give Mary Bane’s name as Mary Jane Bane, as indicated by others.



Children of Mordecai Bane and Mary Teague:



1. Rachel Bane, who married Hugh McGlone on 16 May 1748. Children: Barbara and Jane.

2 and 3 daughters, names are ??
