In Mar 1762, Lemuel Lanier was charged for "Boarding of him and his wife 5 months"; he was released from guardianship 23 Aug 1762.       American Revolutionary War Patriots   Two of Sampson and Elizabeth's sons, Burnell and Lewis, were Patriot soldiers during the Revolutionary War - Burnell in North Carolina and Lewis in Virginia. Burnell "testified against a Preacher who was inciting people not to fight."   Lewis served as private in the Virginia militia and was promoted to Captain. He was taken prisoner and held for nine months on a prison ship.  When released, he became acquainted with General George Washington.  Washington gave him a sword to replace the one that had been lost and this sword was displayed by family members for decades in Georgia.   Lewis moved to Duplin Co. about 1780 and served as a Captain of the Duplin Militia.  He moved to Anson Co. by 1790 and on to Screven County GA by 1800.  Lewis drew land in the 1832 Cherokee land Lottery as a Revolutionary War Soldier.  According to DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), Lewis ended his career as a Major.       Sampson, Jr. died about 1757 in Brunswick Co, Virginia.  He was approximately 45 years old.  After his death, Elizabeth married Cuthbert Smith on 25 Jul 1758. He was appointed Guardian of Rebecca Lanier who was about 13 years old at the time.   Sampson Jr's brother, Lemuel Lanier, was appointed Guardian of Burwell, Buckner, Winifred, Martha and Ann Lanier - all orphans of Samuel Lanier, Jr. The guardianship of Burwell Lanier is very informative. In Mar 1762, 20 year old Burwell and his wife Elizabeth were charged with 5 months boarding by his uncle Lemuel Lanier. Burwell was released from guardianship on 23 Aug 1762.   Sampson, Jr's brother William Lanier was appointed guardian of Agnes and Lewis Lanier.         SOURCES   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           If you have additional photos or information on the Lanier or Loftin Family, please contact me.
