Thanks so much for your offer to help!Wm. Thos. Lanier shows up on 1850 census of Marion County, Mississippi, and on the 1860, 1870, 1880 census of Jefferson County, Miss.
All census records indicate he was born in N.C. about 1825.He married 3 times: lst on 22 Jan 1846 in Marion Co., Miss. to Hannah Turnage.They had 3 children:Richard, b. ca 1847, Julia, b. ca 1849, and Albert, b. ca 1852.His 2nd marriage on 22 Feb 1866 in Marion Co., Miss. to Sophronia Lowe Gray (no known children by this marriage). His 3rd marriage on 10 Feb 1883 in Jefferson County, Miss. to Mary Ellen McCaa Bailey.One child by this 3rd marriage: Etta Lanier, b. Aug 1891.He died between 1891 and 1893, probably in Jefferson County, Miss.I am seeking brothers, sisters, parents and birthplace of William Thomas Lanier.Thanks for any information and/or assistance.
