Notes

William Lanham left South Carolina for Floyd County, Georgia, in 1856. According to family tradition, he enlisted in the Confederate Army, but was sent home because he couldn't keep up. A slave reportedly had thrown a pitchfork and hit him in the knee cap. He did serve in Company I, Floyd Legion, Georgia State Guards, as a private, and may be the William Lanham who served in the 17th Battalion, Georgia Infantry, as a private. He is recorded in the 1900 census as living on E. Central Ave., Calera, Alabama, with his wife, Sarah, step-daughters Artie M. and Nellie Jones, daughter Lucy, son Robert, and mother-in-law Mary A. Campbell. After William's death, Sallie lived in Shades Mountain, Alabama, until 1908, then Birmingham for a year, then to Weaver, Alabama, until 1912, then to Armiston, Alabama, until 1916, and finally to Chattanooga, Tennessee. His Civil War service is noted on his tombstone, as "C.S.A."
