- Extract from Genealogical Notes on the Families of Daniel Lane 2d and Mary Griswold Lane:
Asahel removed to Camden, NY, probably about 1908. It seems most likely from land sales about 1803, recorded at Waterbury, that Asahel, set out for a new home in 1804, at nearly the same time with his brother-in-law, David Beckwith. This probablity seems stronger from the fact that his presence at Wolcott in 1803 is indicated by the death of his child Patty in that year, and by the inclusion of his name in the list of freemen for the same year; and also from the disappearance of his name from all later records of the town. Camden, however, is in the northwestern part of Oneida County, eighteen miles from Rome, and thirty-three miles from Utica. Paris is about ten miles further away from Camden, in the southeastern part of the county, at the head of the Sauquoit valley. The traditions left to their descendants give no color to the notion, not unnaturally held in Connecticut, that either family knew precesely where the other had settled. Mrs. Ingham, who was in nowise indifferent to her relatives, and who was historical authority for the tribe of David and Mabel, never seemed aware that her mother's brother, who was also her own brother's namesake, ever came to Oneida county.
