The lucy Landers that you have listed b. 1784- Do you know who she was married to? If it is to Jonas Priest i have seen her name as Saunders or Sanders listed in my findings. If this is who it is? There son William Powell Priest on his marriage lic. his name is listed William Powell Sander and can not make out the last letters and then Priest. He was born in Ky and in the 1850 cenus he is listed under Jonas and Lucy living in Morgan In. He later came to Sigourney Iowa where he lived and married Ruth Ellen Good in 1852. We spent some time doing the Priest side of the family. If this is the Jonas priest and Lucy most of there children lived in and around Sigourney iowa. I hope you can help me out?
Thanks,

Hi Margaret,

Every reference I have seen to Thomas' second wife has always named Mary or Molly Lake. She's listed in the DAR Lineage book as well. The only thing I haven't been able to locate is a marriage date other than around 1757.

Hi John,
My grandfather was born in N.Y., he was in the Army & stationed at Fort Lee VA. He married & stayed in VA. So I am not related to any living VA Landers except my 3 cousins. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I am related to the MA and New York Landers.

MargaretGerdel63640 — 2009-10-26 15:42:27Z

Jerry, Don't remember where I found it on the web (it might have been on your site), but Thomas Landers names his wife Mary in his will, "The will of Thomas Landers, "of Lenox... yeoman," dated 24 Jan. 1798, gives to his true and beloved wife Mary the use and improvement [of his property] while his widow." While this doesn't prove this Mary as being Mary Lake, it does help us with our research. What do you think. Margaret

Hello,

My Landers line also goes to Virginia. I can not get back beyond 1757, Kimbrow Landers in my connection. I have no information on his parents or siblings. I have seen the name Luke but I can not connect with it.

Thank you
John

evelynmurray39 — 2009-10-25 20:38:43Z

Hi Jerry, Thanks for your response. I have a great deal of information on the Landers from the beginning - my line goes into south central NY. My problem is finding actual documentation of the birth of Mary Lake. I suspect she was born in the New Milford/Kent area - everything else I read says she was born in Rochester MA. I tried to trace a Mayflower line through her and was stopped short by them, as the line of William White traces to James Lake in Rochester, but there is no record of a Mary being born to them. Others have joined the Society by way of the Crappo family through the James Lake marriage. I don't want it now for that - I just want some proof of where she is born. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks. Evelyn

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

jerry1326 — 2009-10-25 03:25:31Z

Hi Evelyn,

I'm descended from Thomas through his son, Ebenezer. I have not seen proof of his marriage anywhere. I've been in contact with J. Kelsey Jones, and he was kind enough to send me a copy of his research. No proof there, either, but the same facts. My sister was able to join the DAR using Ebernezer's credentials, and two of his brothers, Joseph and Asahel, also served in the Revolution. His two youngest brothers, Isaiah and John, were too young to serve, and James died in 1777.

All this and more is on my website, www.landersgen.com, and you can contact me there if needed.

Hope this helps,
Jerry Landers

There were also Landers in south western Scotland. They were connected to the Lamont Clan. The Mc and Mac has the same meaning in Scottish.

Re: Landers

spondoolics — 2009-10-19 06:46:53Z

thanks cath,

yes my uncle told me that Landers means man of London. I suppose my research can be done in either London, France or both. They were Protestants. It is McKenna my grandmothers maiden name that is Roman Catholic and scots/irish. loads of religions in my tree which makes reesearch even longer.

Re: Landers

lndcat — 2009-10-18 21:30:01Z

Landers - The Normans invaded Ireland from France. There are quite a lot of names in Ireland from this time. Landers is one of them. The Irish for Landers is de Londra. The Irish for Fitzgerald is Mac Gerailt. Fitz is the 'son of' or fils (in french) and Mac is 'son of' in Irish. De in a French name usually denotes nobility i.e. possibly a lord. I did find a castle in Wales with this de Londra / de Londras / de Londres name. Unfortunately I cannot find that information now. De Londres also means 'of London' in french. I hope this helps someone. Cath

Landers/Landreth confusion

lorelee67 — 2009-09-08 01:24:01Z

I'm looking for information on my 2nd great grandma, Sarah {Sally?} Landers who married Charles Doney in Holt Co MO in 1848.

The confusion comes when some say her maiden name was Landreth. I have copies of some of her children's death cert and wouldn't you know out of 5 cert 3 have her maiden name as Landers and two as Landreth. Her daughter, in a reminiscence, says her mother was Sarah Elizabeth Landers but it also said she had a sister Delilah that I can't find and some other errors.

Does any one out there have this Sarah Elizabeth Landers in their database? thanks, Lorelee

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

JoyceMoodyCollier — 2009-08-02 03:47:26Z

Hi,
As far as I know my grandfather was the 1st Landers in my family to live in VA. His line starts in MA in the 1600's and then they went to New York where my grandfather was born. He was stationed at Ft. Lee VA & met & married my grandmother during WW1. None of those names are familiar to me. Sorry.
Joyce

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

ssgeaux — 2009-08-02 01:51:57Z

Joyce, I have been researching the Landers line also. Don't know if we are connected or not. I'm in Broadway, Va. I'v only gotten back to Luke Landers who married Rachel Freeman.
He was born in 1728 in Hanover VA. I'm descended from his son Tyree Landers. Does any of this sound familiar? Thanks

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

evelynmurray39 — 2009-07-29 22:47:42Z

Just getting caught up on emails which required some thought! Good thing I looked today - I am going to the CT State Library in Hartford tomorrow - and - the week of Aug 16 I will be going around New England and New York doing genealogy with a friend from Minnesota. She also had issues in Sharon, Kent, etc., CT, so we will be researching original records there as well as in Warren CT. I had no information about Charlotte Patterson but see you got an answer from Margaret. Hope that is what you are looking for. I have to dig through my pile now to find Thomas and Mary!

Re: Asaph and Benjamin Landers(Launders, etc.)

mgmfiske — 2009-05-25 17:39:50Z

Mary Landers Ingle, this is in response to your post of 2007 which I answered at that time. However, yesterday I had a response to my Landers Post from a Wmgerdel to which you should refer. I have e-mailed him regarding his source of proof that Ebenezer and Content Dexter Landers were the parents of the Samuel Landers who married Sarah Fuller. My e-mail address is mgmfiske@aol.com. Please keep in touch as I have/had information on Ebenezer prior to Hurricane Katrina.

Re: Asaph and Benjamin Landers(Launders, etc.)

mgmfiske — 2009-05-25 17:27:13Z

Dorothy, Thank you for your response to my Landers posting. Please look at the response to me from Wmgerdel dated May 23, 2009. I have replied to Wmgerdel and requested the source of his proof that Ebenezer and Content Dexter Landers were the parents of Samuel Landers the husband of Sarah Fuller.
Our home had major damage from Hurricane Katrina, and we are just now unpacking. Most of our genealogy was under water and some of it is now unreadable. I haven't done any genealogy since 2005. However, I may be able to find some old information regarding Ebenezer and Content. I am quite certain the information I had did not list Samuel as one of his children. However, I am going to try to see if I can find any thing about this lead. My e-mail address is:mgmfiske@aol.com

Re: Asaph and Benjamin Landers(Launders, etc.)

mgmfiske — 2009-05-25 17:15:08Z

Wmgerdel, Thank you for your information. What is your source of proof that Samuel was a son of Ebenezer and Content Dexter Landers? Also, did they have a son Ashel? My e-mail address is:mgmfiske@aol.com.

Re: Asaph and Benjamin Landers(Launders, etc.)

dorothy_gard — 2009-05-19 23:36:41Z

Hi, I too am doing research on this family. However, my husband was a descendant of Lemuel instead of Benjamin and Asaph. Do you have any leads on whether or not Ebenezer was father to Samuel who married Sarah Fuller? I am willing to share any info I have on the family.

Dorothy

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

dorothy_gard — 2009-05-19 20:27:03Z

I have been working on my husband's family tree for more than 50 years, have subscribed to Ancestry for several years but have just recently discovered the Landers Board. I find that we are working on the same line except you go through Samuel b.1797 and we go through Lemuel b 1799. My husband grew up in the Bradford Co. area so I have done a lot of research there. I would like to compare notes with you if you are interested.

Dorothy

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

evelynmurray39 — 2009-06-02 19:54:08Z

Hi Joyce, We are in the same family. Thomas was born in Rochester MA in 1727 - you can write the Town Clerk there to get a record of his birth. Sometime soon I will be going to Warren CT where Thomas and May Lake married to hunt for a marriage record. I have been in contact with the church there where the Landers family attended and will also go to the Clerk's office. He died in Lenox MA in 1811 and is buried in the First Congegational Church Cemetery - I have a picture of his grave. Don't think he is in the vitals of Lenox, but it may be registered in the church records. A female Landers married into my Hyde line in Afton NY - Thomas goes way back through Ella, Marcellus, Philander, Isaiah. Then three more generations back to the original Thomas in Sandwich MA. Tell me something about your line through John - I didn't have him in the Rev. War.
Evelyn

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

evelynmurray39 — 2009-05-20 02:27:18Z

Hi Dorothy, Thanks for looking at the postings. If you will connect with the Margaret Gerdel who exchanged some information with me, you will find she is descended through Samuel. I am descended through Thomas. Good luck!

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

evelynmurray39 — 2009-06-04 17:35:31Z

Let's do the email thing. I live in RI and travel back and forth to Troy NY, which takes me through Lenox, and a short detour takes me to Kent and Warren CT. I need to retake that picture of the graves in Lenox - it is over 30 years old and has lost a lot of clarity. I don't know anything about the Landers going to Illinois and back to NY. What I know of John is that by 1798 he is in Jericho (Afton) NY where several of the brothers went, including my Isaiah. My line has always been Protestant, although it was not uncommon to change faiths for the sake of the spouse. I'd be interested to see what your other contact provided you. I have done tons of research on male and female lines but have never posted it on the Internet. I always say I will do it when the research is complete, and that never happens!

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

evelynmurray39 — 2009-06-04 16:14:47Z

Hi Margaret, Yes, that is him - didn't serve for very long, but at least it is documented. I will be stopping in Lenox within a few weeks when I go to Troy NY - will also hit Sharon/Warren CT. Have found out that the pastor in the Congregational Church in Warren is a friend from a Presbyterian Church in Warwick RI - he conducted my mother's memorial service in 1995! I need to retake pictures, look at records, etc., and am glad it is within my "local" travel vicinity. Need anything?

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

JoyceMoodyCollier — 2009-06-04 00:15:58Z

Hi Evelyn,
A few years ago I made a contact with someone who had researched our Landers family for many years. She sent me a copy of everything she had & I have some info on the names you mentioned. I would be glad to share with you if you are interested. My G. Grandfather William was born in Illinois in 1858?. Do you know why some of the Landers moved to Illinois & then back to N.Y.? Is it possible for you to scan the picture of Thomas Landers's grave into the computer & send me? Do you live in NY? I live in VA so it is almost impossible for me to get pictures or copies of births and deaths or marriages.
I can send you my e-mail address.
Thanks,
Joyce

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

JoyceMoodyCollier — 2009-06-03 02:36:57Z

Hi,
I don't think John was in the war but Thomas his father was I think. Thomas & Mary Lake Landers had many children, John is my line. He is the father of Eben who married Priscilla and their son Philo Landers married Diana Canfield. Their son William married Mary Bradley & they had my grandfather Philo F. Landers. Grandpa grew up in Whitney Point NY & his family was Catholic, not sure when the Landers became Catholics. Do you know? Do you know if anyone has joined the DAR through my line of William, Philo, Eben, John to Thomas?
Thanks,
Joyce

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

JoyceMoodyCollier — 2009-06-05 02:34:47Z

Hi Evelyn,
I would appreciate anything you have on my line. My contact from a few years ago had some information on people in your line. Isaiah married Thyzar Andrews. He was born 3-23-1769 in Stockbridge MA. He died 8-31-1844 in Afton N.Y. Children were: Asahel, Jehiel, Philo, Philander & Isaiah. Philander is the son of Isaiah & was born in 1795 in Chenango NY and died 9-28 1865 in Chenango NY. He married Polly Farnsworth. There is a page of gravestones of Landers buried in East Side Cemetery. I think some may be your line, not sure. It is www.landersgen.com/eastside/htm & it is titled Gravestones in East Side Cemetery, Afton NY. I also found something that said our Thomas Landers fought in the French & Indian War. Hope some of this helps you. If you have any other Landers that you want to check on let me know & I will see if she sent me anything on them.
Thanks,
Joyce

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

JoyceMoodyCollier — 2009-06-05 02:11:20Z

Hi Evelyn,
Have you been to CT yet? Do you have any information on Charlotte Patterson's line, she married John Landers. She was from CT. Hope you are having a great summer, I have some back problems and boy does it hurt. Please keep me in mind when you do your research.
Thanks,
Joyce

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

JoyceMoodyCollier — 2009-06-02 03:11:43Z

Hi,
I am researching this line also. I am in the DAR under another part of my family but would like to prove Thomas as a supplemental. I have that Mary Lake was born on April; 19, 1738 & died Sept. 13, 1822. I have she married in 1757 in East Greenwich, Fairfield Connecticut. Thomas's son, John is my line, Eben, Philo & William.If you have copies of any births, deaths or marriages of these I would appreciate any help. As you know for DAR you have to have copies for proof.
Thanks,

Re: Landers

spondoolics — 2009-06-12 11:58:11Z

landers could be french origin. my mother was a landers. I've found that the name changed after a time. I got back to launders in the 16th century. they may have come over with william the conqueror. Landers was a name given to well off people in the dark ages to land owners hence 'Landers'. My landers were in england but i'm sure they are in ireland'

Landers Ky, IN

shortie303 — 2009-06-28 14:17:50Z

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

Re: Thomas Landers/Mary Lake

wmgerdel — 2009-06-04 13:03:43Z

This is not my direct line and I cannot assure the validity of this information; however, below is what I fouond on another Landers site:
Thomas had three sons, soldiers in the Revolutionary War, and, himself enlisted to repel Burgoynes Invasion, as a private in Capt. Ezra Whittelseys Co., Col. Browns regt. of Berkshire County militia, and served from Sept. 7th to Sept. 26, 1777, in the Northern Department, being at the time 50 years old.

He continued his patriotic efforts by being one of a party, who in 1783, broke into the premises of two tories, for which act he was brought before the Court of General Sessions. [Landers Lineage: Landers Blue Print 1613-1912; Iowa State Historical Society]

Is this your Thomas? Margaret

Re: Asaph and Benjamin Landers(Launders, etc.)

tiggerbaiting — 2009-06-10 17:05:58Z

I am looking for information on a Caroline Landers, Born 3 July 1830, died 26 March 1926, she is buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetary in Franklin County, AL, along with her husband (David H. McClellan b. 3 Apr 1821, d. 8 Oct 1877) and 2 sons (Joseph B McClellan b. Jan 22 1854, d. March 10 1937 and James David McClellan b. 11 May 1869, d. 11 Mar 1954.)

Caroline Landers and David McClellan were married somewhere in the 1830s. Both lived in Franklin County, AL from 1850 to their deaths.

Caroline Landers lived with her son Joseph B McClellan in the 1920, and she was "head" of the house from 1880-1910.

I want to find out who her parents were. Thank you
