An account in "Early Settlers of Alabama" by Saunders claims Elizabeth Washington was the mother, not the wife of Sampson Lanier.He says Sampson Lanier married Elizabeth Chamberlain/Chamberlayne. Also that Elizabeth Washington married Thomas Lanier, father of Sampson.Elizabeth Washington was the daughter of John Washington.Her brother Lawrence Washington was the father of Pres. George Washington.thus, she was not his cousin but his aunt.
Or at least, this is what "Early Settlers of alabama" claims, but it is almost certainly wrong.For one thing, the father of George washington was Augustine Washington and HIS father was Lawrence Washington.
What seems a far more reliable version is on this genforum site under Mary M Chambless's July 28, 1998 "Re: Sampson Lanier" which does indeed have elizabeth Washington as wife of Sampson Lanier I, but has her dau of Richard Washington brother to Lawrence, father of George.Mary chambless says she's studied the Lanier family for 30 years, and I would put far more trust in that than in some 19th century genealogist like Saunders, who could not check all his data but was pretty sure no one else could either!
I think Sampson Lanier II married Miss Chamberlain.
