The problem with answering off the top of your head is that you sometimes are wrong.Catherine Lanham was not born Lanham, but was the widow and third wife of Edward Lanham.She married Daniel McKinnon after Edward's death.Daniel McKinnon is mentioned in the Maryland Genealogical Bulletin Winter 1992 in an article titled "Colonial Schoolmasters."Daniel McKinnon submitted the finial account of Edward Lanham's estate Prince George's Co., MD accounts Liber JD1 foliio 17.He is also mentioned in P.G. Deeds TT:559, a deed of gift dated June 6, 1766 in which Robert Power (also appears as Poor) Lanham, son of Catherine McKinnon, deeded negro Anthony to Daniel McKinnon, husband of Catherine until Robert becomes of age. There may be a couple other records I have missed but at least I have placed her for you.
