The following site contains lists of primary source mentions of persons named Lanham living in the State of Maryland or the District of Columbia (once part of Maryland). It is not a genealogy as such since there are many mentions that might belong to one of several people with the same name and since many of the mentions give no clue to the relationship between the individual and other Lanhams.

NOTES:

1. Future documents regarding The Chance make it clear that this is Thomas Lanham (called Thomas Lanham, "Jr.") who was born March 7, 1709, son of John Lanham, Junior.
3. Usually, I would not consider the surname Lanahan a variation of Lanham or list it in this site. I am making an exception here because this appears to be the children of the late Benjamin Lanham and I believe the census taker took Lanham to be Lanahan. (This is not unusual when I see how my own name is misspelled.) The only problem is that Benjamin's widow was Lethe or Eletha and the head of this household is "M. Lanahan." B. Lanahan has the correct age for daughter, Bennetta. Stephen is correct for Stephen Decatur Lanham and the unusual name Grafton Lanahan corresponds to Grafton T. Lanham. Otherwise, these persons would all missing from the 1850 census. I should add the author descends from Stephen D. Lanham. The 1840 census listed four male children in the household and Thomas is believed to be the second oldest son with Benjamin Lewis Lanham being the oldest. I have no other mentions of Thomas Lanham.
