My family is from the Lanfear line in Westerly RI.The various spellings are a problem. Three brothers came to RI from somewhere in the UK. Not sure of where. They were Reginald, Richard and Rowland. Rowland's line is my line. He had a son Gideon who had a son named William P. Somewhere after he was born the name was changed from Lamphere, Lanmphier to Lanfear. They moved from RI to upstate NY in early 1800's. Any of this sound familiar? Let me know, Kelly
