Thank you for this invaluable information on the mystery of the Laneer/Lanier family name. I am also a great grandchild of John Pharris Laneer and Nancy Green. My dad, George Lanier, now deceased, was very young when both of his parents died, and he never knew our original name. My grandfather was John Henry Lanier born in Macon GA in 1876
Thanks to this information I have found the book, An Outline of Cruces by P.J.Montgomery and I look forward to reading it.
Any other information on this family would be appreciated.
