The Lanier Family
Pioneers of Georgia and Florida
Welcome to my Lanier genalogy page. It has almost become an obsession to trace the roots of the Georgia/Florida Pioneer Lanier Family.
I started on this project, as I am writing a book about the Florida Pioneers, based on stories told to me by my Father, Wilbur Lanier. His stories span three generations of Florida Pioneers living off the land.
My thanks to all the family members who are contributing, for without them, this page would not be possible!
The Family traces back to:
John Lanier 1631-1683(England) Musicians to the Queen of England
John Jr. Lanier 1655-1719 (Eng-Va)
John Lanier 1680 (Va)
Bird Thomas Lanier 1703-1788 (Va-NC)
Lemuel Lanier 1729-1770 (Va-NC)
Lewis Lanier 1753-1792 (NC-Ga)A revolutionary in the Civil War
Benjamin Lanier 1786-1854 (Bullock Co Ga>Madison Co. Fl)Petitioned Congress for Florida to become a state!
