Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/670 Surname: ------------------------- I can't answer your question about the LANHAMs in Amherst Co., but I can tell you that the family originated in Charles and Pr. Georges Co., MD----the part of Charles Co. that later fell into Pr. Georges, then Frederick Co., then Montgomery Co.. One branch md. into my husband's DICKERSON family in the early 1700's and then went to Loudoun Co. and spread out from there. If your LANHAM line connects to this LANHAM/DICKERSON family, there is some information on them in the microfilms of my DICKERSON Family records that have been filmed by the Mormons. This might help you a little.
