General Notes: Husband - Ellis Bane

---

About the year 1768 five brothers-Jesse, Nathan, Isaac, Ellis, and Joseph Bane-came to Amwell township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, whither they had emigrated from the West Branch of the Potomac River in Virginia, to which section they had migrated from New England. The father of this family was a native of Scotland, and the mother was from Wales.
Four of the brothers settled upon adjoining farms one mile west of Amity village, in Amwell township, but Joseph preferred the life of a hunter and did not invest largely in land.
The Bane families were all Baptists, and were the prime movers in the organization and establishment of the church of that denomination, called the Ten-Mile Baptist Church, one and one-half miles west of Amity.

In time he removed from his home in Amwell township to Ryerson's Station, in Greene County, very near the state line, and died there, leaving a number of children.
