Walter Paye Lane, soldier, was born in Cork County, Ireland, on February 18, 1817, the son of William and Olivia Lane. The family immigrated to the United States in 1821 and settled at Fairview, Guernsey County, Ohio. Lane moved to Texas early in 1836 and participated in the Texas Revolution. As a member of Henry W. Karnes's cavalry company, he was wounded in a skirmish on April 20. He participated the next day in the battle of San Jacinto and was promoted to second lieutenant for gallantry on the field. Lane then served aboard the privateer Thomas Toby in raids against the Mexican coast until the vessel was wrecked in a storm in October 1837. In the fall of 1838 he barely escaped with his life from the Battle Creek Fight. Source: The Handbook of Texas
