Lanthripps of Tennessee and Florida
I'm just getting started, and my info is pretty sketchy, so please bear with me.The furthest back I have gotten is my grandfather, Walter Franklin Lanthripp Jr., born in the 1920's sometime (I'll find out the exact date next time I go home).He was born in Jacksonville, FL, and moved to Tennessee, just north of Chattanooga, where he married Freida Davis and had 3 sons.Those sons were (oldest to youngest) Walter Franklin Lanthripp III, Thomas Eugene Lanthripp (my father), and William Clyde Lanthripp.Walter Lanthripp III had no children, dying in a car accident in 1972 almost immediately after returning from Vietnam.Thomas Eugene Lanthripp married Debra Jean Roberts in 1968 and had 2 children, Sheri Christine Lanthripp and Jeffrey Franklin Lanthripp, then got divorced in 1976.William Clyde Lanthripp had 1 daughter, Angela Lenee Lanthripp, in 1970.I believe we are descended from someone in Virginia who first showed up on records around 1810.I believe this because when I was a child we got a letter from someone looking up his family tree, which my mother promptly threw away as she was no longer married to a Lanthripp.In this letter, the only thing I remember was a reference to Virginia and 1810.Sorry I don't know more, but was wondering if anyone here knows those names, or can point me at more info.Thanks in advance!
