I am looking for anyone that might have another Landers that LOOKS like my gg-grandfather. Help is needed. I can't seem to place him with any of the Landers families in Ky.
Marion was a ship's carpenter, therefore, he either learned the trade of carpentery from his father or was an apprentice to someone. Where/what part of Ky, he comes from I don't know.
I do know: He was born Feb 1829 in Ky - married in Campbell co. Ky to Catherine Collins and moved to Madison, Jefferson co. IN, at all times he is listed as a carpenter/planker.
His sons are also carpenters. I believe that there maybe a tie in with the Green/Taylor cos. Ky group, somehow. His sons, William & Frank both married girls from there and so did one of the son's (grandson of Marion). Funny thing is, they lived in Kenton co. Ky at the time of the grandson's marriage. They are tied in with the Stubbs & Perkins lines.
Census records for Marion vary, but most of the time parents are born: Father: KY/Mother: VA.
I have found no other Landers (various spellings) in Campbell co. Ky in 1850.
Thanks, Wendy
