LAND RECORDS -
Lanier patented land in Brunswick County, Virginia in 1748, sold it 1750 and 1752. He probably went to North Carolina about this time, as he no longer appears in Brunswick County, Virginia records.
RESIDENCES -
There was a Lanier Brewer in Moore County, North Carolina in 1777. I have found this written online, but I'm not sure what record it is that has given this impression, so I can't say for sure whether this was him or his son by the same name.
There was also a Lanier Brewer in Fayette District, Moore County, North Carolina in the 1790 Census, but this was probably his son, although Lanier Sr could have been living with him. In this household there were 2 males 16 and over, 4 males under 16, and 4 females. his sounds like a young family to me, indicating that the head of this household was Lanier Brewer Jr. In the same district were his son, Drury, his brother, Ambrose, and Nimrod Brewer, who might be his nephew.
He was married two or three times, and one of his wives was a Cherokee Indian (might have been Joanna).

George and his sons Howell Sr, William, John & Lanier were appointed 6 Dec 1736 to help clear a road 1/2 mile from the river to Beaver Pond Creek, indicating they lived in that area in 1736.
Lanier was not given land in his father's 1741 will, probated 1744. George's land was between Fountain & Rattlesnake Creeks, and on both sides of Roanoke Road.
Lanier & Joana Brewer sold 200 acres to Charles Collier 23 Jun 1750 Boundaries: south side Meherrin River, Beaver Pond Creek. Joana relinquished her right of dower Witnesses: None 200 acres of 1748 patent
Y DNA of Lanier Brewer, Sr. & Oliver Lanier Brewer, Sr does not match, So one of them has wrong parents (George G. Brewer, I & Sarah Brewer)
Disconnecting “Oliver” based on Lanier name.
