Thank you I would like very much tohave one of your books.Louise Ingersol's book stopped with my Great Grandfather Amon Franklin Lanier who married (1) Emma E.------and went to Texas.
I can add a little more from researched records.They divorced in Dallas Texas according to census (and records acquired from Ron Lanier a cousin of mine).
Amon Franklin Lanier was in the Civil War and had part of his foot shot off by cannon fire and he lost most of his hearing due to bomb explosions in Atlanta, Geo. He was in R. F.Kolbs Artillary, Williams Battalian for 3 years and 7 months.He joined in Alabama, fought in Atlanta, Geo, and received his Pension in Killeen, Bell Co., Tx.(I have a copy of his Pension Records and such from cousin Ron Lanier). 'A.F'.as he was called most of the time married (2) Matilda E. (Simpson). I wonder if she had been married before she married Amon.Grandmother talked about half siblings. Matilda E.was the mother of my grandmother, Florra Jane Lanier. According to census and family pictures. Granny wrote to me saying her mother's name was Matilda Elizabeth Jane Simpson.The family did not like the name Matilda so they call their mother "Betty" or Elizabeth Jane Simpson.(I still have the old letter) Amon Franklin Lanier and wife had six children.(1)Robert R. Lanier ca.b. March 1884 Tx (M) Lula Briscoe Both drown in flood the night They returned home from their honeymoon. No children.(2)Minnie Mae Lanier ca.b.Feb 1886 Tx (M) Noah Richardson and had two boys Julius and Lewis Richardson. Lewis no children, Julius did have children.(3)Frank Lanier b.ca 1888/9 died about three years old.either Tx. or La.(4)(my grandmother)Florra Jane Lanier ca.b. Sept 1891 La.(M) Harmon Abner Merrick had four children. (5)Benny Lanier stillborn ca. 1893, La.(6) Robert E. Lanier ca.b.1895l La. died age 17 of Typhoid in Tx.(no children and no marriage). Robert E., Flora, and Minnie were orphaned in 1909 in Tx.[my own research,from Grandmother,legal records, census, pictures, and many other offical records]
(my gg.grandfather)John M. Lanier and his second wife Lucy W.Yarborough were the parents of "A.F." Ammon Franklin Lanier. He was named for her father Amon Yarborough and wife Elizabeth Allen. [family legal records, census and (divorce records-from relative)].
Their children listed in Louise Ingersol's book.
Parents of John M. Lanier were (my ggg.grandparents) Benjamin Allen Lanier and Dolly Nance of Robert Nance and Ann Marshall.*(Louise Ingersol's Book)and family records.
*of Robert Lanier and Elizabeth Malone of George Malone and Sally Bass
*of Benjamin Lanier and Elizabeth Warren of Allen Warren and Ann Hart
*of John Lanier and ELizabeth Bird of Thomas Bird and Mary______. Granddaughter of William Bird and Hannah Grendon) Jennings.
(* stands for information from Louise Ingersol's book)
