Lemuel's first record is a Petition from Sandy
Point, Chowan District,
North Carolina, July 13, 1719, asking for land.
On April 5, 1720, Lemuel
Lanier and Mathias Tobias Swanner were granted
a patent in Bertie District;
in 1733 he was granted a Crop mark there.
On April 20, 1745, Lemuel Lanier
was granted 350 acres of land in Edgecombe
County, North Carolina. Very
shortly after, Granville County was formed
from Edgecombe and Lemuel Lanier
was in the new county. He was Justice
of the Peace for many years. He left no
will or other record. No record
of a wife or family has been found; Lemuel and
Mathais T. Swanner were
close friends, and in the latter’s will he names a son
Lemuel, and a wife
Jane. Whether Lemuel was named for friendship or his mother
Jane might
have been a daughter of Lemuel Lanier has not yet been determined.
Lemuel
Lanier was living July 27, 1762, when he witnessed a deed for Benjamin
Lanier, son of
Bird Thomas and Mary Lanier of Surry County, Virginia, enroute
to Duplin County, North Carolina.
