Proof that Frances L. Lanier Wilson is the Daughter of James S. Lanier

Lanier by Louise Ingersoll states that Frances Lanier was married to Elliot Lewis, however there is no marriage record in either Polk or Hillsborough Co., Florida to substantiate this claim.

Death record of Frances L. Lanier Wilson proves father is James S. Lanier.

Family record of all births of Frances L. Lanier Wilson and Joseph Wilson in my possession.

Also Polk Co., Florida marriage record Joseph Wilson to Fannie Lanair.

e-mail from Pola Lanier Kelly (April 28, 1998)
This article was in "Plant City Courier" Thursday, Jan 13, 1994:

50 YEARS AGO
A beautiful religious romance which had its origin on Sat before the
third Sun in Jan 1866 in Old Salem Meeting house near Cork Academy, has
gradually unfolded during the intervening years, Until next Sun the
First Batist congregation of Plant City will observe its seventy-eighth
anniversary.
After religious services suitable to the occasion, a Church Covenant
was adopted and signed by the following seventeen members who
constituted the charter membership: S.B. Todd, William Platt, John
Lanier, Thomas W. Wilder, James Lanier, Hardy Colllins, Issac M. Lanier,
Sarah Wilder, Margaret B. Lanier, Mary Nobles, Matilda Platt, Sara J.
Platt, Evalina M. Lanier, Martha Todd, A.C. Todd, Sarah G. Wilder and
Martha L. Lanier. This new organization selected "Shiloh" for its
maiden name, which later was changed to First Baptist Church when the
church was moved to Plant City. end of quote
I also understand there is a bronze plaque hanging in the First Baptist
Church with these names on it. If you check any of this out, or sort
any of this out, please let me know. I think it is very interesting.
