Descendants of Lemuel Lanier

Generation No. 1

1. LEMUEL1 LANIER was born Abt. 1707, and died Aft. 1733. He married HANNAH PETERS Bef. 1733. She was born Abt. 1707, and died Aft. 1733.

Notes for LEMUEL LANIER:

Note: Save the information below to include with the original John the immigrant from Wayne Lanier to the Lanier list, 5/17/02.

"Trying to prove a negative is impossible. There has been considerable

debate regarding the subject of John the immigrant and the question of his

having a son named John. This was addressed by L. Ingersoll in her book,

p. 13. The first two paragraphs on the page state:

"John Lanier took part in Bacon's Rebellion, and is said to have encamped

at Jordans Point; John Lanier Sr. was then forty five years of age. From a

manuscript in the Library of Congress, written by "T. M." (Thomas Matthews)

twenty years after the Rebellion, when he was at least 60 to 70 years old,

said that "he was too old to camp out at Jordans Point, and that was left

to the young men". He also wrote that Nathaniel Bacon was not yet thirty

and was in command of the group. This SEEMS (caps mine) to show that there

were two John Laniers, an older one with sufficient dignity and authority

to represent the people of Charles City to the Governor, and a younger one

of twenty two years who joined the fighting forces of Nathaniel Bacon.

"No records have been found in London or East Greenwich of the marriage of

John Lanier to Lucreece, or the birth of John Jr. who is as yet

"traditional" in Virginia. The search continues in London, and with the

loss of the Charles City records, no answer can ever be found there; John

Lanier born 1631 may possibly have lived until 1719, but it does not seem

probable in those early days of primitive living, that a man would survive

eighty eight years. He was still living 1683." [Louise Ingersoll]

I have in my records a John and a John, Jr. as reported in Ingersoll's

book, and most definitely would like to see absolute proof of John Jr's.

existence. However, at that time in this nation's history, the people were

trying to survive in a hostile land; they had little time or inclination to

think of how their lack of record keeping would be seen 400 years hence.

In the FOREWORD, L. Ingersoll writes"This book represents twenty years of

research, WITH MUCH LEFT TO FIND (caps mine); the object was to find the

correct English ancestry, and that of the several immigrants who came to

Virginia. It is hoped that it will help those not included here, to find

their branch on the Family Tree."

Wayne"

Notes for NANCY LANIER:

See Notes, Husband Daniel for Census, 1850, 1860 and 1880

Below is the story Shirley Shriver tells of Nancy Lanier and the wolves. Added with permission.

Shirley Shiver says: "My grandmother Minnie (Sloan) Goodmon told the following story of her grandmother, Nancy (Lanier) Sloan:

Nancy was often called upon by neighbors to help in illnesses and childbirths. For this purpose Daniel had (hired? bought?) a young black boy to drive her about the countryside. The homestead was completely enclosed by a high, solid fence; built to keep the wolves that roamed the Florida woods at that time away from the house and stock. The gate was closed every night at sundown.

On this particular occasion, Nancy was expected home, but sundown was fast approaching and there was no sign of her. Reluctantly, Daniel ordered the gates closed. Shortly thereafter the most awful commotion was heard! Nancy was yelling, the little black boy was crying, the horses were neighing as they galloped through the woods, and, horror of horrors! The wolves were howling! They were hot on the heels of their prey! "Open the gates, boys!" Daniel cried. "The wolves is after your ma!" The wagon came out of the forest and into the clearing. The wolves were, indeed, after Nancy. She had pushed the little black boy aside and was driving the team herself; standing up in the wagon and popping the whip over the horses like a pro! They roared into the compound, the gates were closed and the wolves were denied their prey. Disaster was averted one more time on the Florida frontier."

Note: one explanation of "Florida Cracker" is that one can 'crack' that whip.

Note: Nancy Lanier Sloan Census dates appear to be different when you compare the three reports. I will use 1815 until proved otherwise. Oldest son Alfred was 13 in 1850 census and they married in 1835.

Colquitt Co. GA Courthouse, 21 Aug 1842: Deed Book C, pg 209. Land sell from Joseph Yates to Daniel Sloan for $200.00. Witness by Wiley Barber & William Sloan. Description of Property "All that tract, lot or parcel of land containing four hundred and ninety acres, more or less, situate, lying and being known and distinguished in said District by Lot Number Two Hundred and Sixty Four (264)".

Hillsborough Co, FL Courthouse, 27 Oct 1858: Deed to Daniel Sloan from Jacob & Frances Summerlin for $3,500. This was for 400 acres of land located "one mile and a quarter" north of Plant City.

Note: at one time Hillsborough Co. was very large. This probably explains why some people without the census reports, thought Daniel and Nancy moved to Hillsborough Co. There were 8 counties and part of 2 more.

Below are two sites that mention Daniel Sloan and Manatee Co., FL

http://www.lamartin.com/history/hooker/william_hooker.htm

"The primary market for beef in the early 1850s was Savannah, Georgia, and the drovers were "often gone for months on a drive to that city."17 Charleston, South Carolina, was also a destination market for Florida beeves. By 1854, however, cattle were being shipped to the West Indies and Key West. County Commission minutes reveal that William B. Hooker held a lease on the market place or market house in 1855 and was at that time advertising the sale of beef in the local Florida Peninsular. He advised that from Feb. 1, 1855, only cash would be accepted. The 1855 tax lists show that Hooker’s herd had grown to 4,500 head, the largest in the county. John Parker, Louis Lanier, Daniel Sloan, James Alderman and Hooker’s younger brother, John, were all major stock owners. Captain Hooker was the county’s fourth largest taxpayer, behind sugar planters Robert Gamble and J. A. Braden and entrepreneur James McKay. McKay, who opened the cattle trade with Cuba in 1858, was a close associate of Hooker’s.18 In one early reference from McKay’s account book dated December 14, 1855, Hooker acknowledged receipt of $405 from McKay "being in full for twenty seven steers shipped on board sch[ooner] John Roalef&ldots;."19

(On this site is a picture of the Orange Grove Hotel and they show Sidney Lanier on the porch)

The Orange Grove Hotel during the 1876 - 77 winter season. Judge and Mrs. Henry L. Crane, who operated the hotel, are standing on the left side of the second floor porch. Sidney Lanier has been identified by contemporaries as the man standing on the far right side of the second floor porch with his leg propped on the rail. But D. B. McKay in the Tampa Tribune, March 6, 1955, said Lanier is standing at the left end of the first floor veranda. The original of this photo was owned by Mrs. Samuel E. (Mary Hooker) Hope, later Mrs. Clara (Hope) Baggett and now Mr. and Mrs.L. E. Vinson of Tarpon Springs."

Ft. Green, Fla.

Dec. 27th, 1856

Mr. Editor:

I beg leave through your columns to congratulate my fellow sufferers on the quiet state of things now existing on the frontier though I have strong apprehensions that there is danger yet ahead.

Myself and seven others, with our families, are not, I suppose considered frontiersmen, from the fact we are living eighteen miles south of the military line of posts, established for the protection of the Whites, from the action of some of the gentlemen in charge of affairs.(1)

Notes for JAMES WHITE:

White and Cone database contributed by Lois Cone Favor, direct descendant. Email: lcfavor@aol.com

[Eliz-Lanier.GED]

July 3, 1998, I visited my 1st cousins, James Braxton and Una (Yandle) CONE who lived near Coolidge, Ga.. The James White's were also Braxton's great grandparents. Having lived about a quarter mile from them, he remembered his great grandfather vividly. He was a curious child over seven years old when James died, and loved hearing all the stories the grown-ups told.

This is one of the stories he remembered and related to me:

"Old man Jim White moved from North Carolina to Thomas County, Georgia, bought land about three miles from Coolidge and built a log cabin, (which still stands today), A short time later his mother died and he buried her on his property, a beautiful site near the Ochlocknee River. She was the first to be buried in the White/Cone cemetery. He marked her grave with four posts holding lattice work aroud the area, the posts are still standing but the lattice work is not. He also put a marker at the gravesite.. I'm not sure if it was a wooden marker or stone, but when the river flooded the area years later the marker was washed away and was never found. The posts held fast.

"James and Elizabeth (Lanier) White were married before 1840, when their 1st child was born. Once an Indian poked a forked stick thru a crack in the cabin and caught great grandmothers hair, began twisting it and tried to pull her up to the crack. After this he went went to Florida to fight the Indians in the Second Seminole War."

"In 1845, it (Florida) was granted statehood. And, on Jan. 25, 1834, the

U.S. Legislative Council for the Territory of Florida approved an act

organizing Hillsborough as Florida's 19th county. At that time, Hillsborough

County was a sprawling area that included what is now Pinellas, Polk,

Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee and Highlands counties, most of

Glades and a third of Lee. But despite that size, Hillsborough's population

only numbered 836, not counting soldiers or Native Americans, according to

S.P. Sparkman, the census taker at that time."

Notes for WILLIAM CHOICE CONE:

[Eliz-Lanier.GED]

"The Saga of Choice and Sophia's first baby":

This related to me by Braxton Cone, sone of James W. (Uncle Jim) Cone;

Sophia's baby was due and the time had arrived. The baby was ready before the doctor had been called. Choice went out to saddle up his horse to ride to Coolidge for the Doctor. Sophia screaming for him to hurry. He threw the saddle at the horse and missed, the saddle going completely over the horse and landed on the ground on the other side. Sophia still screaming for him to hurry. He yelled back "Wait a minute Soph, for Gods sake, wait a minute." This is supposedly a true story, and Choice being a Cone I can believe it!!

21. AMANDA LANIER7 MERRITT (OREGON6 SLOAN, NANCY5 LANIER, JOHN4, JESSE3, THOMAS2, LEMUEL1) was born August 27, 1874 in Mascotte, Lake Co., FL, and died May 13, 1955 in Gadsden Co., FL. She married WOODSON MELCO JOYNER Abt. 1890 in Mascotte, Lake Co, FL, son of WILLIAM JOYNER and MARY KISER. He was born June 01, 1864 in Alabama, and died September 02, 1927 in Bradenton, Manatee Co., FL.

Notes for AMANDA LANIER MERRITT:

Amanda lived at 1132 9th St., Bradenton until 1954. She died in Gadsden County in 1955 and was buried in Manatee County, FL.

Amanda and Woodson had 12 children, 8 of them lived. After Woodson died in 1927, Amanda raised her children (youngest boy, John, age 5) with help from the oldest children and by becoming a Dress Maker. Women came from all over just to say, Amanda made their dresses!

Until Amanda became ill in 1952, there was a big picture in an oval frame of Woodson in his Cavalry Uniform hanging in the living room. The night she had the stroke, Woodson's picture fell off the wall. The picture itself could not be saved, it crumbled into countless pieces.

During WWII, I remember 27 blue stars (representing family members in the Armed Services) in her front window. Gold stars represented a member killed in action. There were no gold stars in her window at the end of the war. (Elizabeth Braswell statement)

Burial: May 1955, Manatee Co, FL

Census: 1880, Amanda was 6

Notes for WOODSON MELCO JOYNER:

"In 1845, it (Florida) was granted statehood. And, on Jan. 25, 1834, the

U.S. Legislative Council for the Territory of Florida approved an act

organizing Hillsborough as Florida's 19th county. At that time, Hillsborough

County was a sprawling area that included what is now Pinellas, Polk,

Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee and Highlands counties, most of

Glades and a third of Lee. But despite that size, Hillsborough's population

only numbered 836, not counting soldiers or Native Americans, according to

S.P. Sparkman, the census taker at that time."

http://www.lamartin.com/history/hooker/william_hooker.htm

The primary market for beef in the early 1850s was Savannah, Georgia, and the drovers were "often gone for months on a drive to that city."17 Charleston, South Carolina, was also a destination market for Florida beeves. By 1854, however, cattle were being shipped to the West Indies and Key West. County Commission minutes reveal that William B. Hooker held a lease on the market place or market house in 1855 and was at that time advertising the sale of beef in the local Florida Peninsular. He advised that from Feb. 1, 1855, only cash would be accepted. The 1855 tax lists show that Hooker’s herd had grown to 4,500 head, the largest in the county. John Parker, Louis Lanier, Daniel Sloan, James Alderman and Hooker’s younger brother, John, were all major stock owners. Captain Hooker was the county’s fourth largest taxpayer, behind sugar planters Robert Gamble and J. A. Braden and entrepreneur James McKay. McKay, who opened the cattle trade with Cuba in 1858, was a close associate of Hooker’s.18 In one early reference from McKay’s account book dated December 14, 1855, Hooker acknowledged receipt of $405 from McKay "being in full for twenty seven steers shipped on board sch[ooner] John Roalef&ldots;."19

Notes for WOODSON PLENNY JOYNER:

I remember visiting Samoset, Florida mid 1930's and on this farm I met Uncle Plenny. Also, this is the farm that G-Grandmother Amanda and I (before I was 6) used to walk to. Uncle Plenny sat on the back porch, covered with a quilt and played the banjo. He was a really neat person and I was told he lost his legs in the war (do not know which one). They told me he was a relative. Uncle Bill was probably named after his father, Woodson, and possibly the Plenny came from this Uncle Plenny. Do not know any other names from the farm. One time Uncle John and Aunt Eldis went with Mama and me. Eldis play "Red Wing" on the upright piano and Uncle Plenny played the banjo. Wonderful memories!

Woodson may have been his name but everyone called him Bill. He was well known and liked. Bill signed up with the Civilian Draft Record 1917 - 1918 with father Woodson. They were all in the Cavalry. I have his sharp shooters medal and his dog Rastus' name tag (found together). Uncle Bill used to take me everywhere with him.

Bill died about 1936. Bill's bird dog, Rastus was stolen and someone told him where he was. Bill went to get him and his car was run off the road and he was killed. I remember being extremely upset and begging to go to his funeral. Finally, mother agreed and daddy (Jimmy White) carried me up to the casket so I could take one last look at my Uncle Bill. I was told later that is what I kept saying I needed "one last look".

Uncle Bill was the one in the family that planned family events. One reunion in Bradenton had more than 150 relatives, about 1935. One time, about 1936, we went to a wooded area and camped a few days. There was a long, long line of cars (mostly Model A's) and many people. We camped in a wooded area for a few days. I remember the women cutting the palmettoes to cook and the place where we bathed. Only problem I remember was the wild boar's chasing me. I backed up to a pine tree, they circled in front of me. Rastus came from nowhere, jumped over the boar's backs, turned to face them in front of me. He was bigger that day than ever before. All his hair was on end and the growls that came out of him were tremendous! I believe he saved my life that day. Once before, when I was about two, we were at Bradenton Beach and Rastus, who hated water, dashed out in the surf, pulled a little girl in that was too far out, thought it was me. Her mother thanked us after she quit screaming!

Notes for NANCY ELIZABETH JOYNER:

Beloved grandmother of Elizabeth.

Copy of application for SS # 267-22-6097, Jun 4, 1942 verifies information.

FL Delayed Cert. of Birth, 10/1/57 confirm parents and date of birth. Marriage license dated Dec. 3, 1909 shows Nannie Joyner was 18 years old.

The following is being written as I remember being told. Will add dates and names as I find them.

Nancy Joyner was so talented it is hard to put it down. Nancy was the oldest of 12 children, 8 lived and she helped deliver more than one of her brothers and sisters. Nancy married P. E. Tompkins at 19 and at age 20 she had my mother, Aurelia. She was abandoned by her husband in NYC and Woodson went and brought them both home to Bradenton, FL. As I was told, her husbands people wanted to take Aurelia away from her so Amanda and Woodson Joyner adopted Aurelia. Nancy at that point took various jobs open to women.

Nancy taught school, worked in a ice cream store (she was told, at the boss instructions, to each day eat as much ice cream as she wanted, but at one time each day only! She said she had all the ice cream she ever wanted. Nancy was also a telegrapher in NYC during the "roaring twenties". This is when she married "Skipper". (Certified copies of License and Marriage confirm this)

Skipper was the Captain of a ship that went from NYC to Miami. At some point he also went to Japan and brought back a wonderful punch bowl and tea set which he gave Nancy. During this time, her sister, Evelyn was in Zig Field Follies (picture on Web Site). Nancy bought a cocktail dress from Saks Fifth Ave for her granddaughter in 1931 which I still have and can still wear in 1999 (this is the dress I have on the the picture on the Web Site with Sam at the Colony Restaurant in London in 1950). Web site address http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lane/5455/index.html

This concerns the time Nancy was married to Skipper. Two telephone companies were told the first ship to lay cable from NYC to Miami would get all their business. Nancy and her girl friends were waiting in Miami when she got word that the other ship might get there first. The girls dressed to the "nines", got a rowboat and Champagne, rowed to the ship just outside the harbor. Once aboard they congratulated the crew on arriving first, as they celebrated, Skipper passed them in the dark and won the contract.

Next, Skipper and Nancy had a big house in Miami. When prohibition started Nancy decided to keep busy while Skipper was working. First they blocked the door from the back of the house to front. You had to go outside to get to the kitchen. Bath tub gin was quite popular and Nancy and a girl friend, Dency Emerson (husband Henry Emerson), had false bottom Model A cars so they could go to Canada and bring back good Canadian Whiskey. The front door admitted people like George Raft, motion picture stars, the Police Chief and Fire Marshall, various government people, some came just because they were having a ball. The back door was reserved for everyone else! Nancy always laughed telling this, no one ever got a chance to blackmail anybody!

Everything stopped though, when on one trip to Canada, Dency was in an accident. Dency lay in a ditch with big piece of glass in her head until morning (they traveled separately and met at different towns). This is true as I knew Dency too, her hair turned snow white overnight. Dency and Nancy remained best friends for life.

Notes for AURELIA NAOMI TOMPKINS JOYNER:

'Aurelia' means golden. There was a St. Aurelia in the Middle Ages in Austria. She was a princess who joined a Benedictine abbey in Salzburg and remained a recluse there until her death in 1027.

In my life there was also an Aurelia--my mother, whose last years are shrouded in mystery.

Aurelia Naomi Tompkins was born August 5, 1911, in Bradenton, Manatee, Florida. She was the daughter of Nancy Elizabeth Joyner and Earl Tompkins. She grew up in Bradenton, Manatee, Florida. In 1930, Aurelia married John Melton Armstrong, son of John and Frances (Melton) Armstrong. John Melton Armstrong was born August 21, 1884 in St. Joseph, Buchanan County, MO.

Aurelia and John Armstrong had one child. I am that child, their daughter, Elizabeth Anne "Liz" Armstrong. I was born August 10, 1931, in Quincy, Gadsden County, FL.

Aurelia and John were divorced in 1934. I do know that my father, John Melton Armstrong, died June 19, 1967, in Lakeland, Polk County, FL.

Aurelia traveled much in her life and married several times. I have obtained information from the Social Security Office that provide the outline of her life from 1937 to her death. Earlier information comes from me as I lived it. After her divorce in 1934 from my father, Aurelia married James White who was born in Scotland about 1903. "Jimmy" White was a wonderful person who cared for me as though I were his daughter. I loved him dearly.

For reasons I do not know, Aurelia and "Jimmy" White were divorced. Shortly afterward, in 1937, Aurelia changed her name to Aurelia Joyner and had a new Social Security card issued showing that name.

After a while, Aurelia and "Jimmy" White remarried. I know that I was in Atlanta, GA, between 1936 and 1938 and I assume they remarried during that time..

In 1943, Aurelia and "Jimmy" White were again divorced. I was sent back to Bradenton, FL, to live with my maternal grandmother, Nancy (Joyner) Kempson. My next contact with "Jimmy" was 1950 when I come home on leave from the Air Force. I did meet his bride, Judy from England, who he had met during the war, about 1944. Judy was an ambulance driver. If I could have picked my father it would have been Jimmy, he was a very kind and wonderful person to me and everyone he met.

In 1945, Aurelia contacted the Social Security Administration and officially changed her name to Aurelia White.

In 1947, she again contacted the Social Security Administration and had her name changed to Aurelia Warren. This marriage was annulled as he did not bother to mention he was already married.

There is indication that Aurelia married an Aarseth in 1948 in Seattle, WA. In any event, in 1948 she contacted the Social Security Administration and had them change her name to Aurelia Aarseth. After their divorce, Aurelia moved to Reno, Nevada and then to New Orleans, Louisiana when -- suddenly -- she dropped from sight in April 1952. All contact ceased and attempts to establish contact failed.

Once it became obvious that something was terribly amiss, an intense search began through all possible avenues available to the family. We contacted Missing Persons and the Red Cross. I was in the United States Air Force at the time and contacted the FBI. J. Edgar Hoover wrote directly to me and, under his signature, informed me that the FBI had no information about Aurelia.

How could that be true? She had a top secret clearance in the Civil Service during World War II and was assigned to a Hickam Field, Hawaii after completing "blue print" school in Nevada. How could the FBI not know such facts that should be easily obtainable by them? Which leads to the most intriguing question of all: Why would the FBI deny knowledge of Aurelia?

(Just this moment, May 5, 2002, it occurred to me if they changed her name to Evelyn Young then they would not or could not tell me about Aurelia?)

Only one clue emerged from our frantic efforts to find Aurelia. In 1952, a former landlady in Reno, Nevada, sent us a return address for Aurelia. That address was for the Mississippi Atom Bomb Research site.

In 1954, Aurelia changed her name again with the Social Security Administration, only this time both her first and last names were changed. She became Evelyn M. Young.

There is an Evelyn Merritt Young in our family, and we strongly suspect Aurelia drew upon her family history for her new name. From subsequent research we have learned that the federal government did help employees involved in highly sensitive work change their complete identities in order to protect them and their family members from blackmail and threats.

Is this what happened to Aurelia? Aurelia had a photographic memory and should have been quite valuable in the super-spy-charged atmosphere of the Cold War period. Was she being protected? Did she perhaps know things or learn things that put her life in danger? Who, if anyone, was after her? And why?

In 1963, Evelyn/Aurelia married William G. Brose. William G. Brose was born November 24, 1910 and died in September, 1984 in Los Angeles.

Aurelia herself died January 2, 1983 in the hospital in Twenty-Nine Palms, California. The name on her death certificate is Evelyn M. Brose, Social Security number 253-18-4409. Her birth date (August 5, 1911) was correctly given. She was, however, listed as a widow whose birthplace was unknown. Her father's name was recorded as William H. Young and Nancy Turner was listed as her mother. Sylvester M. Byrd was recorded as Executor with the address Route 2, POB 100A, Twenty-Nine Palms, CA 92277.

If you know, or even think you might know, anything about Aurelia or any of the people involved in her, please contact me. I only want to solve the mysteries surrounding my Aurelia.

Notes for JAMES WHITE:

James White born in Scotland between 1900 and 1911 most likely 1903. He came to America and met and married my mother about 1933 or 1934. He did become a naturalized citizen. His mother stayed in Scotland.

For reasons I do not know, Aurelia and "Jimmy" White were divorced. Shortly afterward, in 1937, Aurelia changed her name to Aurelia Joyner and had a new Social Security card issued showing that name.

After a while, Aurelia and "Jimmy" White remarried. I know that I was in Atlanta, GA, between 1936 and 1938 and I assume they remarried during that time..

In 1943, Aurelia and "Jimmy" White were again divorced. I was sent back to Bradenton, FL, to live with my maternal grandmother, Nancy (Joyner) Kempson. After the WWII started Jimmie joined the signal corp as he had a leg problem. After that he managed to enlist all the way and went to Scotland and England. My next contact with "Jimmy" was 1950 when I come home on leave from the Air Force. I did meet his bride, Judy from England, who he had met during the war, about 1944. Judy was an ambulance driver. Judy had cancer and died then Jimmie moved to the east coast of Florida. I tried many times to find him and didn't until after he died. I still miss him. He was over 6 feet tall and a brick mason by trade. If I could have picked my father it would have been Jimmy, he was a very kind and wonderful person to me and everyone he met.

"Jimmy" played bagpipes and had a kilt. I was in Scotland 1953 (on duty with the USAF, a WAF) and I found his tartan. I cannot for the life of me remember the colors. I once had a sweater, bought in Ayr, Scotland with the colors.
