Serenia (Arenie Levina) LENIER or LANIER
We have a knotty problem and I am hoping you can help.
We are looking for a woman with the given name(s) Arenie Levina, or Serenia, or Serina, and the family name LENIER or LANIER.
Nathan Hattaway, b. ca. 1821, lived in Georgia. He shows up in the 1850 Census for Washington County as married to Serenia with one child, John Thomas, aged 1, so the marriage was before 1849. The family shows up again in the 1870 Census. The first son has moved out (and has his own family entry in the Census) and there are two additional children, Nathan Jackson and Martha.
One of our relatives listed this marriage as Nathan Hattaway m. Arenie Levina LENIER with a note "or LANIER."
The name Lanier shows up as a middle name in some lines of this family.
If you have any clues we can use to follow up, we'd be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance,
Nancy Hattaway Miller
