I have been studying John L Lane and who his possible father might of been, could anyone help clear this up. John was shown in 1850 NJ Census living with Isaiah S Lane,

BOTTOM LINE THOUGHT'S:

In 1850 NJ census my GG Grandfather John L Lane was recorded living with a Isaiah S Lane, though you would think this was John's father, but I have my doubt's -

Reason One: On this 1850 census John and I think possible his brother Caldwell Lane was out of child order and the ages are different if the order was arranged correct.
Reason two: In Isaiah's Obituary niether Caldwell or John was mentioned as his children and I know my GG Grandfather John L Lane was alive till 1916.
Reason three: in Isaiah's will again it doesn't mention Caldwell or John

I do though believe John & Caldwell Lane to be close family, possibly children from a brother or close cousin.
