ca 1833, the widow, Lettie Landon, married the widower, Miles Georgia and they moved to Rollin, Lenawee County, Michigan. They moved to Rollin at the same time that John Landon did. In the 1850 census, Miles Georgia and his wife, Lettie, live immediately next door to John Landon. They live a few doors from Samuel and Bingham Landon and their families. John and Bingham had land transactions with Miles and Lettie. Both had Cayuga County histories. I cannot identify Lettie's first husband. Her name was Letitia H. (___) Landon. She was b. 01 October 1791 and d. 14 May 1868. Mary Jane Landon married Henry Marlett and they had a daughter Lettie. All the Landons mentioned, John, Samuel, Bingham and Mary Jane are the purported children of Silas Landon and Nancy Beadly. How are they connected to Lettie? Can anyone identify her for me? Thanks so much, Georgia Whitson
