Very shortly after, Granville County was formed from Edgecombe and Lemuel Lanier was in the new county. He was Justice of the Peace for many years. He left no will or other record. No record of a wife or family has been found; Lemuel and Mathais T. Swanner were close friends, and in the latter’s will he names a son Lemuel, and a wife Jane. Whether Lemuel was named for friendship or his mother Jane might have been a daughter of Lemuel Lanier has not yet been determined. Lemuel Lanier was living July 27, 1762, when he witnessed a deed for Benjamin Lanier, son of Bird Thomas and Mary Lanier of Surry County, Virginia, enroute to Duplin County, North Carolina.

On April 20, 1745, Lemuel Lanier was granted 350 acres of land in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. Very shortly after, Granville County was formed from Edgecombe and Lemuel Lanier was in the new county. He was Justice of the Peace for many years. He left no will or other record. No record of a wife or family has been found; Lemuel and Mathais T. Swanner were close friends, and in the latter’s will he names a son Lemuel, and a wife Jane. Whether Lemuel was named for friendship or his mother Jane might have been a daughter of Lemuel Lanier has not yet been determined. Lemuel Lanier was living July 27, 1762, when he witnessed a deed for Benjamin Lanier, son of Bird Thomas and Mary Lanier of Surry County, Virginia, enroute to Duplin County, North Carolina.
