About John Lanier, Sr.
GEDCOM Note
HE IS DEFINITELY NOT JOHN JEROME, 1499-1572, as many trees suggest.
According to a FindAGrave record for Nicholas Lanier (his younger brother), this is
John Lanier (Abt 1525 France - 11/29/1572 London, England)
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/79414428/john-jerome-lanier
And his father is John Jerome Lanier
From the Lanier family history:
The Laniers were Protestants who left France to escape the early persecutions. Protestantism began in 1555, and the height of the persecutions was reached in the massacre of St. Bartholomew on the eve of August 24, 1572.
There were two Laniers who fled France at the same time, in 1561, both settling in the Parish of St. Olave in London. They are JOHN (THIS RECORD) and NICOLAS. It is possible they were brothers or cousins.
THIS RECORD: JOHN LANYER, who died November 29, 1577, was referred to in 1577 as a Frenchman, and a musician, a native of Rouen, France, and an owner of property in Crutched Friars in the Parish of St. Olave, Hart Street, London.
-- DID HE HAVE A DAUGHTER, BARBARA?__ On the 18th day of January 1576/77, administration of the goods of John Lanier, late of the Parish of St. Olave, Hart Street, city of London, deceased, was granted to Barbara Laniere, alias Nivelet, wife of Cardinus Nyvelet, his natural and lawful daughter, in person of her said husband. A marginal note said that “John Laniere had not any goods belonging to him in the hands of the Administratix.” The following item will explain the above: “This house, 1575, Sept. 4 burst out in a terrible fire and was consumed to the stone walls.”
--WIFE'S NAME IS CORRECT -- BUT HE DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE HAD SONS!
His widow, Jane Laniere, married second, James Marcadye. There was an Inquisition dated April 18, 1577, concerning his property, in which she was named with two Lanier daughters, Mary, and Celia Brun. Two other Lanier daughters and a son were born after their arrival in London, and all died as infants; their burials are recorded in St. Olaves Parish Register.
