I am doing research for my second cousins husband, Leon Landers. His great-grandfather is definitely Daniel B Landers (born c1860 AL) of Srygley, Colbert Co. Daniel also had a brother or half brother, Rueben T Landers, who went to Texas between 1880 and 1900. In 1880 I find Daniel living with Frank Landers who I'm assuming is his father. There are also grandchildren of Frank living in the household, Lorna Landers c1869 g-daughter, Chestina Landers c1871 g-daughter, Henry Landers c1873 g-son, Willie Landers c1875 g-daughter, and Ida Landers c1878 g-daughter. Rueben is married living near by. In 1870 the census lists Frances born c 1825 AL, Female, Rubin, 19 and Daniel, 9, but no Frank. So far I have been unable to locate any of them in 1860. The lineage looks like this so far: Frank Landers born c1822 AL and Frances Unknown born c 1825 AL Children: Rueben Landers born c1849 AL Daniel B Landers born c1860 AL Grandchildren (not Rueben's): Lorna Landers Chestina Landers Henry Landers Willie Landers Ida Landers Does this Landers connect to any of the other Landers in Lawrence and Franklin counties? I have found the name listed as Sanders, Londers, etc. and have been through census frames one page at a time. Any ideas out there? Cynthia Chandler East Peoria, IL
