     It is interesting to note that when John married Susannah Tyler, daughter of Robert Tyler of Parrott Manor and his wife Susan Du Vall Tyler, on January 21st, 1714, she was only a little over thirteen years of age, having been born July 14th, 1700.² Susannah Tyler married John Lamar, son of Thomas Lamar and Ann Pottenger, on 21 January 1714 at Prince George's, Maryland, USA.¹

     Robert Lamar was born circa 1700. He died in 1756 at Edgefield District, Edgefield, South Carolina, USA.²
     Robert Lamar, the eldest son of Thomas Lamar II, was born about l700. He married Sarah Wilson, sister of Joseph Wilson, husband of Elizabeth Lamar and perhaps also sister of Samuel Wilson, husband of Priscilla Lemar, daughter of Charles Lemar of the eastern shore. In 1755, Robert sold his lands which he had inherited from his father to Rev. John Urquhart, Rector of All Faith Parish whom some supposed to have been his uncle. After the sale of his property, he moved with his family to what is now South Carolina. where he settled in the Edgefield District. Very soon after his change of residence, he died, for in 1756 his widow asked for a land grant in South Carolina for "Robert Lamar, Thomas Lamar, James Lamar, and Philip Lamar, sons of Robert Lamar, deceased." In 1771 his son Robert executed a deed correcting a mistake in his father's conveyanee of the land formerly owned in Maryland and conveyed in 1755 to Reverend Urquhart. The first Federal Census taken in 1790 shows the sons of Robert Lamar living in the 96th District of Edgefield County, South Carolina. It is to be noted that the official records of the county carry the name of this family as Lemar, although the deeds conveying the Maryland land above referred to were signed Lamar.

     Samuel Lamar was born on 22 April 1713 at Maryland, USA. He died in 1756 at Edgefield, Edgefield, South Carolina, USA.
     He Samuel Lamar, son of Thomas Lamar II, was one of the younger sons and the date of his birth is not known.

     Alexander Lamar was born in 1717 at Prince George's, Maryland, USA. He died circa 1786 at Georgia, USA.
     He Alexander Lamar, son of Thomas Lamar II, was one of the younger sons. He married and sold his Maryland inheritance about 1757. He moved to Georgia and appears to have been the first of the family to settle in that colony, the others having moved to what is now South Carolina. In December 1762, his petition was presented to the Governor of Georgia praying for a grant of 300 acres in Halifax, near McBear's swamp and stating that he had been four years in the province. He is reported to have had three children, whose names are not known.²

     Mary Lamar was born.
     Her married name was Davis.¹ She : Of the daughters of Thomas Lamar II, Mary married Clementius Davis. They sold their inherited lands the same time as her brothers and appear to l1ave moved to South Carolina with them and later to Georgia. She had a son whose name was Clementius Davis.²

     Unknown Lamar was born.

     Elizabeth Lamar was born on 26 October 1722 at Maryland, USA.² She married Joseph Wilson, son of Unknown Wilson, on 18 June 1747.¹
     Elizabeth Lamar: The third daughter of Thomas Lamar II was Elizabeth. She was born October 26th, 1722, and on June 18th, 1747, married Joseph Wilson, brother of the wife of Robert Lamar. She did not move to South Carolina with the other members of the family, being the only one of the children of Thomas Lamar II who remained in Maryland. She lived and died in what is now Montgomery County, Maryland, leaving a son named Joseph Wilson. Although the foregoing facts seem agreed upon by other commentators upon the subject, there is considerable doubt in the mind of the writer whether or not Elizabeth was in fact a daughter of Thomas Lamar II. It is known that John Latnar, brother of Thomas Lamar II, had a daughter named Elizabeth and the fact that this Elizabeth did not move to South Carolina with the other sons and daughters of Thomas Lamar II, and the further fact that she was not mentioned in the will of Thomas Lamar II, lends strength to the belief that she may have been the daughter of John Lamar.² As of 18 June 1747,her married name was Wilson.¹
