Generation No. 8


41. LEWIS8 LANIER , R.S (LEMUEL7, BIRD THOMAS6, JOHN5, JOHN4, CLEMENT3, NICHOLAS2, NICHOLAS1) was born 1753 in Duplin Co, NC, and died 1792. He married MARGARET (WATERS?) Abt. 1776.

Notes for LEWIS LANIER , R.S:
       Lewis Lanier was born abt. 1753 in Duplin Co., NC. He was a son of Lemuel and Sarah Lanier. The Lanier family came to Duplin Co., NC from Brunswick Co., VA about 1751. Lewis was a Coronet in the Revolutionary War. He served from the Wilmington District of NC, and received voucher #1047, dated March 24, 1782, as validation of his service.
       Lewis and family moved from Duplin Co. and settled in Effingham Co., GA about 1788. The family lands were cut into Screven Co. in 1793, then into Bulloch Co. in 1796. It is said that they lived near the headwaters of Lotts Creek, on the south side of the Ogeechee River According to tradition, it is said that Lewis was drowned in the Ogeechee River during a flash flood in 1794. Margaret Lanier was living as late as 1830 with their son, Allen. Evidently she died in Bulloch Co. after that date.
       Lewis Lanier, the subject of this sketch, should not be confused with Lewis Lanier (1756-1839) of Screven Co., GA. The latter was the subject of a sketch in POWG, Vol 3, p180. These are "two different Lewis" of the same name, and almost the same age. Even their lands were very close together as one lived north of the Ogeechhe River, and the other on the South bank of same.
