Terry:What Lanhams are you descended from? I have Lanham ancestors: Sylvester Lanham b. ca 1790 in KY, had a daughter, Julia Ann, b. 12 April 1829, ILL, m. Jonathan Hammer Cook, b. 31 Jan 1828, probably ILL, IA, or MO and they both died in Collin co., TX. Please let me know if you have any info on Sylvester. Thanks: Betty
