Capt. John Lane, born in York,ME. July 4, 1734, was trained by military experience from his youth for a soldier's life. At the age of 20 he was appointed lieutenant under his father and at one time had command at Fort Halifax, on the Kennebec river in the French war. When his father died in 1756 the command devolved upon him. In the Revolutionary struggle he was an active and brave participant; was appointed commander of a company in the spring of 1775, consisting of 120 men, raised by him and subordinate officers. He was a commissioner to treat with the Indians of the Penobscot tribe, then about to form an alliance with the British in Canada; in this understanding he encountered every obstacle that British agents could put in his way, but was successful and prevailed upon Orono and several of his tribe to go with him to Cambridge, where a treaty, which was always strictly adhered to, was ratified. Immediately upon his return to Cambridge, he was joined by his recruits and took command at Cape Ann Harbor. He was present when the famous prize, with ordinance and stores, was taken from the enemy, and there repulsed the British when they made an attempt to retake the prize.
