Most Lanier family researchers believe that the U.S. Lanier are descended from Nicholas (born about 1544 in Rouen, France; died 1610/1611 in England).He married Lucretia
Bassano (born 1556, died 1643/44) in England. Nicholas Lanier was a flute and cornet player in the Court of King Henry II.In Paris he was engaged by the English Earl of Hertford to serve as musician in the Court of Queen Elizabeth of England.
There is a Lanier family discussion group that you can join for free (I'm the listowner.)There are more than 200 Lanier researchers who are subscribed.They have LOTS of knowledge about Lanier family lines.
