Clement Lanier   Born: Abt. 1590, ENGLAND Died:  (Or was Buried) 06 Nov 1661 in East Greenwich, England                                             Clement Lanier was born about 1590 in England and was the son of Nicholas Laniere, the Elder and Lucretia Bassano.   Clement was Gentleman of the King's Chamber to James I and Charles I, a title often afforded to musicians and actors of the day, Musician in Ordinary on recorders (a type of flute) 1625, and King's musician of wind instruments 1633-42.   Clement married Hannah Rebecca Collett in March of 1628 at St. Margaret's, Lee (in London).   When Charles I was executed, the Laniers suffered financial setbacks and hardships while they supported the Prince of Wales (later Charles II) and his struggles to regain the throne.  Clement' s cousin Nicholas Lanier (son of John and Frances) had assembled a great art collection for their sovereign Charles I.  During the The Protectorate, the collection was dispersed at auction. Clement and his brother Jerome Lanier were able to purchase some of the paintings. After the English Restoration, the Laniers were able to regain some of their fortunes.   He was Musician for the flute 1660-62.     Clement and Hannah had eleven children.                                           Children of Clement Lanier and Hannah Collet Name Date of Birth Date of Death Spouse Hannah Lanier Bapt. 13 Feb 1629/30   Thomas Swetnam John Lanier Bapt.

Hannah's burial was recorded at St. Alphege as December 22, 1653.  Clement Lanier was buried November 6, 1661, both in East Greenwich.  His will, proved December 3, 1661, was registered 20 May 1662.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             SOURCES:                     CLEMENT LANIER http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_Lanier   LANIER FAMILY HISTORY http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fairbanks/lanier/history.htm                   THE ANCESTRY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON Sons of Liberty Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution http://www.revolutionarywararchives.org/washancestry.html                       ROYAL DESCENT The Lanier Family Connection the Washington Family http://jimserver.net/genealogy/royal_desc.html                   THE LANIER HOMEPAGE http://www.mindspring.com/~wdlanier/sampson.html                                                                                                                                   If you have additional photos or information on the Washington Family, please contact me.
