    Record Source: Mentioned continuously in Byrd's Secret Diary from 1739 to 1741.

    In 1750 Lemuel joined his brother, Bird Thomas Lanier in DuplinCounty, NC. After arriving in Duplin, he received several grants, and bought many large tracts of land; in 1756, he sold all but one, and in October he deeded this to his son, Thomas, the land, the house with all the furnishings, the outbuildings, slaves, and Indian corn, "as I am about to remove out of the aforesaid Province of North Carolina".
    He moved to Georgia, which is shown in the Colonial Records, naming him as a headright in 1756. Near Rockyford, Screven County, is an historical marker which lists him, with others, as being one of the earliest settlers.
