Benjamin Marion LANCASTER27 SEP 1836 - 28 JUN 1901
Father: David L. LANCASTER Mother: Permelia DAVIDSON NotesLANCASTER, Ben. In.; U.S.A. Pvt. Co. C 13th Cav. Ben and the next three
Lancasters were brothers, sons of Col. David and Parmela Davisdon Lancaster of
the Dunbar community. They descended from Benjamin Lancaster who, with some
brothers, came from England to settle in North Carolina and Virginia in
Colonial days. Several Lancasters including Col. David, moved to Williamson and
Hickman counties (Tenn.) and from there Col. David came on to settle in what is
now Decatur county. Reports are that three sons including Ben. M., were strong
Union sympathizers and that three were just as loyal to the Confederacy. At
least four of them, listed here, were known to have been in the Civil War. No
official record or family notes make certain of the other two brothers. These
Lancasters were prominent and influential citizens. It is thought that
Lancaster, Penn., was named for some of this line who lived there for a time.
History indicates also that these Lancasters were of the House of Lancaster who
fought the "War of Roses" back in England with the House of York. |
