Burwell Lanier married October, 1761, while still under guardianship, Elizabeth Hill, the daughter of William and Catherine Hill of Brunswick County and later of Duplin County NC where Burwell and Elizabeth went in 1772. The Guardianship record of Burwell Lanier is very informative; in March, 1762, Lemuel Lanier was charged for "Boarding of him and his wife 5 months". He was released from guardianshiiip August 23, 1762. He was a Revolutionary Patriot, as he "testified against a Preacher who was inciting the people not to fight.: He married second in Anson County, NC, to the twice widowed Mary Kirby-Colson who survived him.

+Ann Butler
Lewis Lanier was born 1753 (some report 1756)
in Brunswick County, VA, according to his
release August 22, 1774 by his guardian, William
Lanier. Lewis was educated in law and being an
ardent Whig, he volunteered in the Virginia
Militia,
and was soon promoted to Captain, then,
Major. He participated in the Battle of
Long Bridge. He was wounded twice and taken prisoner
for nine months.
He
was in the boat with George Washington, during the famous Crossing of
the
Delaware River. George Washington later presented him with a
replacement
sword and as friends
gave him a set of andirons founded with
Washington's
bust.
He married Ann Butler on September 21, 1778 in
Sussex County, Virginia. Major Lewis Lanier moved
to Georgia during the
Summer of 1791 and lived in Savannah, Chatham County, GA. He moved to
Screven
County, GA in 1794. Lewis' wife, Ann, died in late 1802 in Screven
County.
He married Esther (Butts) Thorne
on August 26, 1803. He had five
daughters
born before 1790 and two sons and a daughter in Georgia, children
of
Ann;
he had two sons and a daughter by Esther Thorne. In Georgia, Lewis
Lanier
was Justice of the Peace of
Screven County and in 1796 was a
Representative
from the Screven County. In 1798 he was a member of the
Constitutional
Convention from Screven.
In 1846, his son Thomas Butler Lanier
attempted
to get a Revolutionary Pension for Esther Thorne Lanier, but
after
twelve
years it was rejected for lack of evidence and failure to find any
record
in Washington of his services.
Many of his contemporaries and
distinguished
men testified for him. He died February 12, 1839 and is buried
beside
Ann
in the old Family Cemetary in Oliver, Georgia.
