About Lynford Lardner

He was born on 12 June 1792 in Somerset, Pennsylvania and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1811.

From 1825 to 1827 he was captain of the Light-Horse, also known as the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry. He married Elizabeth Wilmer [as you'll see below, there are too many Wilmers here]. At the time of the 1830 census he was living in Philadelphia with a woman 20 to 30 years old and a girl 15 to 20 years old. In 1832 he was a member of the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives.
