Isaac Lane (1765-1833) of Buxton, was the eldest son of Captain Daniel Lane and Molly Woodman.

Isaac enlisted before he was 14 and served as a fifer in his father's company, eventually serving more than four years. He also served in the War of 1812, raising a regiment of 500-600 volunteers, mustered as the 33rd United States Infantry.
