I am looking for any information on a William P. Lanier living in Platte Co., MO in the early 1840's. His birth and death date could possibly be found at the cemetery, located at Pleasant Grove Church (Camden Point), Platte County, Missouri. I am trying to find out if he had ever married before his death around 1845. And I am also trying to find out who his parents were? I think there is a possibility he is connected to the Washington Lanier and Elizabeth (Hicks) Lanier family of Overton County, Tennessee. They had a son William born around 1802-04, who had a brother George Washington Lanier married to Jane (Gunnells) Lanier found in the 1850 Platte TWP Andrew Co., MO Census.
I found the following information at
Missouri Baptist Biographies, by Robert S. Duncan 1882

William P. Lanier* — This gifted young man fell early in the conflict. He came to Missouri from Overton County, Tennessee, and in 1845 was the minister at Pleasant Grove Church (Camden Point), Platte County, Missouri. He was a man of much promise of usefulness, was ordained, we think, by Eld. A. P. Williams, and in November, 1845 (another account says December, 1845) died of lung fever and was taken to his final home. His remains now sleep in the cemetery at Pleasant Grove Church, of which he was the first pastor, and which he served for the brief space of ten months.
Thanks,
Terry Lanier
