The Benjamin Garfield Lanham Family
Sylvester Lanham 1790 (see The Sylvester Lanham Family 1790) → Benjamin Garfield Lanham 1820
Benjamin Garfield LANHAM [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] was born on 14 Jan 1820 in , Franklin, Missouri, USA. He died on 09 Mar 1902 in Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA. He was buried in Pleasant Mound Cemetery, Dallas, Texas.
BG Lanham was a farmer and stock raiser living in precinct No 3, Dallas County, Texas, was born in Franklin County, Missouri, 14 January 1820. He was the fifth born in the family of eight children of Sylvester and Jane (Estes) Lanham, natives of Kentucky and Virginia and respectively. BG Lanham moved to Missouri when that state was yet a Territory and located in what was afterward Franklin County. He served in the Winnebago campaign for a short time. In 1814, he joined the American Army for the war with Great Britain, but peace being declared soon afterward, he saw no active service During Mr. Lanham’s residence in Franklin County, the earthquake occurred in New Madrid and other points in southeastern Missouri, and was so serious in Franklin County that many chimneys were felled to the ground. From Missouri he moved to Morgan County, Illinois. This was about 1828. After living there seven years he went to Adams County, where he remained about the same length of time. As the county settled up he moved from place to place, ever seeking the frontier. Next he located on the Pratt purchase in Missouri, then in Andrew County, next to Nodaway County, same State, where he lived until 1853. That year he harnessed his team and started across the country for Texas, arriving in Dallas County and taking up his adobe at the place, where his son, B.G. Lanham, now lives. In making this trip they were seven weeks on the trail. Arriving here 24 December 1853, he and his son immediately purchased a farm of 600 acres. education opportunities were limited in youth, but in later life he has made up for these deficiencies by observation and reading, and keeping himself well posted on general topics. He landed in Texas with more money than most of the early settlers, having $1600.00 in cash. [6]
Eight acres of the soil had been broken and a little log house had been built, these bring the only improvements on the place. Although game was plentiful the senior Mr. Lanbani ( original owner) found himself too old to enjoy the pleasures of the chase. He died at the place in 1863, at the age of seventy-two. His wife lived until 1868, when she died at the age of 71. [6]
B.G. Lanham’s educational opportunities were limited in youth, but in later life he made up for these deficiencies by observation and reading. He landed in Texas with more money than most earlier settlers, having $1600.00 in cash. For the 600 acres already alluded to they paid $1000.00. A few years afterwards the title failed to be good and after having a suit he was compelled to give up half of the land. Mr. Lanham joined the Confederate Army and served in the trans-Mississippi department. He was on the frontier all the time with the exception of three months spent on the coast. At the close of the war he returned home, and like many others found himself a financial wreak, having not as much stock as before the war. He remained only with his land. He is now engaged in stock raising, but not as much stock as before the war. He started specializing in horse breeding. [6]
His first wife died in 1856 and was buried west of the house on a little hill. He married Mary Ann BEAMAN (5 Feb. 1855 in Dallas), daughter of Samuel and Polly (Smeleer) Beaman, natives of Illinois who came here at an earlier date. This union blessed by the birth of eight children, two of whom died when small. Jacob S. Lanham resides in this county, Samuel S. Lanham, of Clay County, Texas. Sarah J.
