Lemuel Lanier

                               1707-???? 

               Lemuel Lanier was the Overseer of William Byrd’s Plantation, and was mentioned continuously in Byrd’s Secret Diary 

               from 1739 to 1741. After arriving in Duplin, he received several grants, and bought many large tracts of land; in 1756 

               he sold all but one, and in October he deeded this to his son Thomas, the land, the house with all the furnishings, the 

               outbuildings, slaves, and Indian corn, “as I am about to remove out of the aforesaid Province of North Carolina”. He 

               moved to Georgia which is shown by the Colonial Records naming him as a headright in 1756. Near Rockyford, Screven 

               County, is an Historical Marker which lists him with others as being one of the earliest settlers. With the records of Burke 

               County lost, nothing further is known of Lemuel Lanier, Sr.
