I have an Abigail LANNING married to Ezekiel HORNER, both born NJ according to census records, births would be about mid 1700's. They had a daug., Abigail, married to William CHAMBERLAIN, also born in NJ. No other info on Abigail & Ezekiel, all appear to be in the Ocean/Monmouth county area of NJ. A great grandaughter, Frances MOORE, also married into a HORNER family. Anyone make a connection?

seeking descendents of Martha Ann (LANNING) Pettibone

2005-02-23 03:46:37Z

I am seeking descendents of Martha Ann Pettibone (nee LANNING). It is my hope that as a female she was more forthcoming with her descendents about the family history than her brothers were. One of her brothers is my direct line and difficult to locate enough information on.

b. NY (Orange Co?) btwn 1810 and 1825
m. Alfred Pettibone in Novi area of Michigan
had a few kids
d. in Elsie MI (year eludes me at the moment)

known siblings include: Robert Conrad (aka Rev. RC), William, and Richard LANNING (variant spelling of LANING used on occassion)

email me at either prodgers (at) emich (dot) edu or cricket527 (at) e-garfield (dot) com (either way make sure something about genealogy is in the subject or it'll accidently have a close encounter with my account's wastebasket)

Eric, we just got a marraige certificate for my grandmother Clara Stokes and on it her mother's name is listed as Elmira Laning and father Daniel W Saphore.. I know they were from the Philadelphia area.
Have you had any luck in the past year since you posted your message. We have been researching Stokes for a year and have just gotten this new lead.

Audrey,

Thank you for the information. No, I haven't had any luck finding any leads. I'd certainly be greatful if you can share any additional information. My father would have been born in the early 1930's.

Thanks!

Mary Ann Laning 1816/Ohio

2001-02-01 13:21:54Z

Looking for dates of Mary Ann Laning, born abt. 1816 in Ohio. She married Aaron Norris Nov. 9, 1837. I have the list of their children but no birth dates to go with them.

Waldo Laning (1886-1964)

2000-08-08 13:53:10Z

This is great -- I am a granddaughter of Waldo Laning! He and my grandmother, Emma Reha Timmins (1892-1976), resided in South Pasadena, California, and had six children: Amelia LaVonne (1917-1997), Lois Jane (1919- ), Waldo Lynn (1924-1984), twins Leila (1926-1982) and Lila (1926- ), and my mother LaReha (1930- ). Aunt Lois still resides in South Pasadena, Aunt Lila lives in Van Nuys, and my mother (with my dad) retired to Baja, California (Mexico).

I don't know Tara, Waldo's great-granddaughter, which makes me suspect that she's the daughter of one of Uncle Lynn's children -- Ronald, David, Richard, and Cynthia -- the only first cousins of which I'm aware. Uncle Lynn died on his 60th birthday, thanks to a drunk driver, who hit and killed both him and his wife. Unfortunately, my mom and her two living sisters, Lois and Lila, lost touch with Uncle Lynn's family sometime since the mid-1980s. It would be swell to become reacquainted and to meet new relatives.

If you're interested in learning more, I will be glad to supply as many details as I can. I know that one of my other maternal cousins, Cheryl Bones Cedro (Lila's daughter), has been creating a family tree. Most of Waldo Laning's descendants are based in Southern California, specifically Los Angeles County. I am AWARE of the following direct descendants: six children, 11 grandchildren (I'm the youngest), and six great-grandchildren (not counting Uncle Lynn's grandkids, since I don't know).

You can reply to me directly at tgj@pacbell.net.

GEORGE FREDERICK LANING

2000-07-14 18:38:53Z

Does anyone have knowledge of the aforementioned, either Jr or Sr. Particularly in the Philadelphia area. I believe his mother remarried and assumed the name of Pendergast, and I beleieve he had a few step-siblings by that name. I am George Frederick Laning's son. My brother was George Frederick Laning III. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone might have.

Waldo Laning

2000-05-06 07:13:25Z

Hi Tara! We're excited that you responded to our message! I think Waldo is a brother to our elusive Ivo Laning, my husband's grandfather. Your great-grandfather Waldo was born in Wisconsin in October 1886, I think? This date would fit in with our family. His parents probably were Howard Lanning (note two "n's") and Amelia Elger. Amelia was Howard's second wife and they were married about 1884.
Ivo (1893?), Waldo (1886-?)and Charles F Laning moved from Stoughton, WI, near Madison, WI, and were living in Milwaukee in the same residence by 1904, with their mother (their father died in 1896). They lived within blocks of one another until the 1920s. I don't think there were any other siblings, although it's entirely possible there were infants who died.

We would love to be in contact with any Lanings out there who would be connected in any way. This has been a family mystery for over 65 years. Please contact me at hraab@nconnect.net. Thank you!

Charles F Laning and Waldo Laning, Ivo's brothers

2000-03-30 14:05:14Z

If anyone has information on Charles F Laning and Waldo Laning, I have been informed that these were Ivo Laning's brothers. Charles F was born in WI in 1896 and died in Seattle in 1992; Waldo was born in WI in 1886 and died in California in 1964
--both may have been carpenters. I believe they both had families. They were living with their mother Amelia, a widow, in Milwaukee, WI, in the early 1900s, until 1930s. Please, please if anyone has any information, I would sincerely appreciate a response. Thank you for reading this.

Ivo Lanning and/or Ivo Larry Laning

This is an update to a previous message I've put on the board. I have come across some new information which indicates that Ivo's full name was Ivo Larry Laning. He may have gone by the name Larry. If anyone has any information regarding this man who was born in Stoughton, Wisconsin about 1892 I would sincerely appreciate it! Thank you for reading this.

Ivo Laning, son of Howard Lanning

2000-01-11 22:48:42Z

I am attempting to discover what happened to my husband's grandfather, Ivo Laning, son of Howard Lanning and Amelia (?). Howard was the son of Jasper Lanning, who came to Stoughton WI from Hunterdon NJ, probably about 1840. We believe Ivo Laning was born about 1889?, and he married Anna Settgast in Milwaukee WI about 1929. After their son Bruce (my father-in-law) was one year old, Ivo left the family and was only seen twice in the next eight years. He may have had other wives and children in the WI area. Any information about Ivo Laning would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am trying to find the links for my ancester Rachel Laning from hunterdon NJ born in 1780's. She married William Atkinson about 1801 and had a child named Zenos Laning Atkinson. I can assume her father was Zenos Laning. I have found a Zenos Laning born to Richard Laning and Sybil Rose in Trenton New Jersey about 1750's . Zenas Maried Rachel Garretson. Their saughter Rachel Laning and married William Atkinson and moved to Piqua Ohio in 1832. Her aunt Sarah Laning who maried Ralph Hart also moved to Miami Co Ohio.
