Your John R. (or B.) Lanier is possibly the son of William and Jane (Rideout) Lanier.
My records indicate John R. Lanier married Mary M. Craddock 13 Jul 1860 in Wilson Co., TN.
1850 TN Census (WL-1340-1059) lists William, 36, b. NC; Jane, 35, b. NC; Hartrille, 23 (?); Andrew, 17; George, 13; Henry, 11; John, 9; Joseph, 3; Elizabeth, 20.
1880 TN Census (WL-486) lists John, 39; Mary, 35; Erastus, 19; Robert Lee, 17; John T., 10; Charley, 8; Rose, 5; Joseph, 30; Robert, 25; Mary, 19.
I don't see a Robin A. Lanier, but perhaps she was born after 1880.
There are others on the Lanier Forum researching Andrew Jackson Lanier and George Washington Lanier, brothers of John R. Lanier.You might want to do a search and contact them.
