NC to be found in the Texas census listings of 1850 on Ancestry.com files.
• Elizabeth H. - daughter by 1st wife, Miss Hill. Elizabeth married first a Mr. Frazer, then second a Mr. Horton. At the time of the writing of William's will of 1834, she was still married to Mr. Frazer. The 1834 will left Elizabeth “and her heirs” 243 acres of land and 4 negroes: Sophia (a woman of about 29 years) and her three children - Isham, Rose, and Sarah.
• Unknown Name - daughter by 1st wife, Miss Hill; married a Mr. Ford. Not named in 1834 will of William Lanier, indicating possible death without children before that time.
• Susanna - eldest child (of 6 daughters and no sons) by William's 2nd wife, [Nancy] Ann Dickson. Susanna married Nicholas Hobson, who became a banker in Nashville, TN. He and Susanna had no children, and Susanna died before Nicholas in Tennessee.
• Susan - 2nd daughter by 2nd wife of William. She never married, and nothing is known of her life or death.
• Mary - 3rd daughter by 2nd wife of William. Mary was born in NC on May 10, 1803. She married Henry Jordan on November 11, 1821 (per Dorothy Scott Johnson's book of the cemeteries of Madison County), and they had a son named Henry who married Lucy Martin. She apparently had other sons as well, since the 1834 will of William Lanier names some of his grandsons as William H., James B., and Henry C. Jordan. Mary's parents William and Ann Lanier deeded land to these Jordan grandsons of theirs per Deed Book Q, pages 416 - 417. Mary died while still a young woman, and she is buried beside her parents in the Jordan - Lanier Cemetery on Redstone Arsenal. Hers is the only grave with a large slab stone, which at one time was probably the top cover for a box crypt of stone. The slab is now broken and lying flat on the ground.
• Unknown Name - 4th daughter by 2nd wife of William. Married a Mr. Crebb and had no children.
