The Sylvester Lanham Family 1790
Sylvester LANHAM, was born in Madison County, Kentucky, 1790/91, a son of Thomas and Patience (Sappington) Lanham.
Sylvester’s Uncle John Sappington went to St. Louis. County, Missouri in 1804 and bought a Spanish Grant from Pierre Didier, then returned in 1805 and brought his wife and 17 children and a number of other families from Kentucky to Missouri, where he established a Trading Post.
Sylvester married Jane Estes about 1810 or 1814 in Kentucky.

More research is needed on Jane Estes. We don’t have much information on her ancestors yet. |
About 1811 Sylvester Lanham joined these families in Missouri. Sylvester’s brothers: Hartley and Stephen were already in Missouri by this time. In 1814 Sylvester enlisted in the War of 1812 (1812-1815), but saw no service. He also participated in the Winnebago Campaign. April 12, 1815, Sylvester sold to his brother, James Lanham, household goods, horse and saddles, nine hogs, 400 pounds of bacon and other property. [1]

Sylvester Lanham Geo Witt Little B. Hutt
Sylvester moved to Morgan County, Illinois about 1828. During this seven year period at Morgan Co. many of their children were born. In the 1830 Morgan Co. census, the Sylvester Lanum household consisted of: (2 males under 5, 2 females under age 5, 1 female under 10, 1 male and 1 female under 15 and 1 male and 1 female under the age of 30.
Sylvester Lanham was a government patentee as of 21 January 1829, 87 acres in the W 1/2 SW 1/4 Section 6 Township 13 North Range 8 West of the Third Principal Meridian. This is in the area of present day Waverly, Morgan Co., Illinois. Records indicate he sold this land to John C. Caldwell, 29 June 1830. Taxes on this property in 1836 was $1.30, plus $.75 road tax.
About 1835 they moved to Adams County, Illinois, and about 1839, they moved to the Platte Purchase northwest corner of Missouri. Sylvester’s Father, Thomas died in 1840, Madison Co. KY. The Sylvester Lanham Family is listed in the Crawford Township of Buchanan County, Missouri in the 1840 census. This is in the southern part of the county.
In Goodspeed’s 1888 History of Andrew and DeKalb Counties (see maps on page 13,14), Sylvester Lanham is listed as one of the early settlers of Andrew County, and that the land upon which the village of Rosendale now stands was pre-empted by Sylvester Lanham in the early forties and he sold it in 1846 to Bethel Allen and his son, who built a saw mill near the village site, on the One-Hundred-and-Two River.
The Lanham brothers came in 1841 and settled on the One-Hundred-and-Two River, four miles east and a little north of the present site of Maryville. Their claims were near each other in the timber, one mile and half east of the One-Hundred-and-Two River.[3]
The Lanham brothers were most likely Curtis Harden Lanham and Benjamin Garfield Lanham along with father, Sylvester.
Drusilla Lanham married James K. Allen of Andrew County on 20 April 1845. The Minister was Moses Allen.[4]
"A quarter of a century after Missouri has gained statehood, the small town of Rosendale emerged from a plot of land near the back of the 102 River. Our Mill, which probably is responsible for the existence of Rosendale, was located 10 rods north of center of section34 on the east bank of the 102 river approximately 100' south of the 48 highway river bridge.. Bethel and William Allen bought the land from Sylvester Lanham in 1845." [5]
Sylvester Lanham was a government patentee for 80 acres in Nodaway, MO in 1848.[6]
Sylvester and Jane Lanham and son Hiram were listed in the 1850 Nodaway County, Missouri census.[7]
This is the county adjoining Andrew to the north. According to the Nodaway County History (p310), Polk Township, Sylvester settled on the 102 river, 4 miles east and a little north of the present site of Maryville, in 1841.
According to our information Sylvester and family left Missouri 1853, and were on the road seven weeks, arriving in Dallas County, Texas, December 24, 1853.
Sylvester and his son Benjamin Garfield Lanham bought 600 acres of land in Dallas County, Texas, from David M. Cook, 18 December 1852. On the waters of White Rock River near the Grate Military Road from Austin, Texas, to Red River. Eighty acres being the only improvements on the place. Game was said to be plentiful, the senior Lanham found himself too old to enjoy the pleasures of the land and the chase. The deed witnessed by C. H. Lanham and Isaac Elam, and recorded 11 January 1853. [8]
Sylvester died in Dallas,1863 and is buried in the Old Elam Cemetery, Dallas, Dallas, Texas. Jane died 1868, and we assume she is buried in the old Elam Cemetery, Dallas Texas.
Sylvester and Jane had eight children, three sons and five daughters: Margaret, Curtis Harden, Lucy, Clara, Benjamin Garfield, Drucilla, Julia A., and Hiram Lanham.
