Lane Family Cemetery - there is a cemetery on the Lane family estate "Oak Hill," according to a report of a Virginia Phase I Cultural Resourse Survey at Frankiln Farm, Fairfax County. Oak Hill stands today on a hill overlooking West Ox Road (Route 602) west of West Ox Road's intersection with Lawyers Road (Route 602) and just west of the Franklin Corner subdivision. New housing has been built all around the old house which can be accessed from dower House Drive just off West Ox Road. Just after the Revolutionary War, William Lane "acquired land on the southeast edge of the former Aubrey-Tayloe grant and built Oak Hill, according to the Survey. William Lane and his wife Sarah moved to Burlington Plantation around 1800, which was near the village of Newgate (now Centerville). Oak Hill became the home of their daughter Hannah Eskridge Fitzhugh and Joseph Rowles , her second husband. When Hannah Lane Rowles died, she was buried behind the house at Oak Hill, according to the survey. Joseph Rowels married his wife's sister Sarah. He died in 1808, but Oak Hill remained with Sarah Lane Rowles and her descendents "for more than one hundred years." Eventually, Oak hill became known as the Franklin home and the land around it as Franklin Farm. Brian Conley, Information Specialist in the Virginia Room, Fairfax City Regional Library, reports tha t according to local tradition, "the gravestones in the backyard were intentionally buried, and are still there. The precise location of the cemetery is unknown."
