Data given me by Casey Landis, a descendant of that line, indicates that the sons of Robert Franklin Landis (1849-1899) and Mollie Thompson (1850-1912) were: William Alvis Landis (1874-1947) George Benjamin Landis (1877-1960) Bryant Ewing Landis (1881-1955) Robert Clarence Landis (1883-?) Spencer Norrie Landis (1887-?) Oscar Bell Cecil Landis (1891-?) However, the report is still quite valuable because it confirms some other relations present in the data base. Thank you again for making it available! "Dr. J. A. Landis" would be James Augustine Landis (1845-1921), son of Bryant Landis (1815-1890) and Margaret Ogilvie (1811-1886). "Mrs. Nannie Landis Rushing" would be Nancy Jane Landis (1839-1910), daughter of Bryant and Margaret (above), who married William Azariah Rushing (1841-?). ********************************************* That team performs best whose players benefit the most from the team's success. *********************************************
