I have placed my early LANHAM records on WorldConnect at RootsWeb/Ancestry. Thomas LANHAM born 1805 VA & Cairy Ann MELTON being the forerunners of this family. Among the many surnames connected to the family are; BENNETT, BLAKE, EAVES, DRENNEN, and FRAZIER. Descendants of this couple lived mostly in Dent, Jefferson, Shannon, St Francois, St Louis, and Washington Counties of Missouri. I am still trying to "fit" James L.(Lafayette?) LANHAM, (wf Sallie YATES) born ca. 1861/65 died 1931, of Washington/Jefferson Co's, into the Thomas LANHAM family.  James L.'s family is also on WorldConnect.
