These ladies were probably from the West Point, Ga. area, in NW Harris, along the Troup county border. There are lots of lancasters still around, but the most famous one died back in the 1950s. Her name was Mahaley Lancaster. She was a spinster, farmer, practiced a little law without a license, but was basically a renowned fortune teller known for her accuracy. If you ever read a book or saw a tv movie entitled "Murder in Coweta County", it included her most renowned instance of clairvoyance, when she told the Coweta County Sheriff what happened to the murdered guy.
