Jeanette- I happened to find some information for you in a book of Wills and Estates from Granville County, NC. Susannah Lanier's father was Thomas Lanier, and mother was Frances (brothers and sisters are also listed). George King and Susannah Lanier King's daughter Elizabeth married a Robinson. You can write to the VR office in Oxford, NC, or the NC Archives in Raleigh for a copy of the information.
