Cemetery transcription by members of the Jacksonville
Area
Genealogical and Historical Society
This is the same burial site as that listed on page one of "A
Guide To Cemeteries of Morgan County, Illinois, Volume One" as Baines
Cemetery. No visible evidence of Bane/Baines Cemetery can be found, but
its location was apparently adjacent to, and north of Richardson
Cemetery,
separated only by a fence. The Bane/Baines Cemetery was west of
Jacksonville,
in Section 28 of Township 15 N Range 11 W. The Bane family grave
markers
reportedly were made of wood. After their removal they were placed
against
a nearby building and have long since disappeared. The site of Bane
Cemetery
is now under cultivation. Richardson Cemetery, on the south side of the
fence, is in a good state of preservation. Depending on the height of
the
surrounding crops, Richardson Cemetery may be seen from nearby U.S.
highway
36-54. The compilers of this volume are indebted to Mrs. Lee V.
(Janice)
Fox of St. Louis, Missouri, for the following information.

| Bane, George | 16 Jan 1853 | (He was a son of Jesse and Christianna Bane. Jesse served in the militia during the Revolutionary War. The family's history can be traced back to New Castle, Delaware, in the 1600s. George, buried here, married Mary (Jordan) Lindly and they came to Morgan County between 1847 and 1850. Their youngest child, Winfield Scott Bane, was born in Pennsylvania, in 1847. They also became parents of Ann, Rhoda and George. Both parents had married before and each had children by their previous marriages. George's children by his first marriage were Eliza, John C., Lemuel, Clarrisa, Maria, Ruth, Christianna B., Cephas and Rachel. George inherited his father's farm in Washington County, Pennsylvania in 1842. George stipulated in his will filed in Morgan County, Illinois, that his wife was to set aside ¼ acre for a graveyard, and it is believed that this is the site she chose.) |

| Bane, Mary (Jordan) Lindly | 1905 | 2 Jan 1873 | Wife of George Bane (It is possible that Mary was not buried in Bane Cemetery, but a short biography will be used here. She was born in 1805 near Burnsville, Washington County, Pennsylvania. She was a daughter of William and Mary (Carroll) Jordan who emigrated from Carrollton, Maryland about 1779 and settled in West Finley Township (what state?). She married William I. Lindly, at age 17, in Washington County, Pennsylvania on May 10, 1822. Mary became the mother of six children before she was widowed at age 29 in 1834. Her first child by her second marriage was born in 1839. Children of Mary and her second husband, George Bane, were Ann (Bane) Williams, Rhoda Bane, Winfield and George Jr., all of Corona, California. Mary Bane died in Scott County, Illinois, but her estate papers are files in the Morgan County Court House.) |
