Shared note
|
LANCASTER, 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.
Benjamin Marion Lancaster, born September 21, 1836. Enlisted in the infantry December 21, 1861, and served with Co. E, 51st Regt., TN Inf. Discharged June 13, 1862, with rank of private. Benjamin passed away June 28, 1901. He was the son of Col. David and Parmelia (Davidson) Lancaster. Married to Martha T. (Wells) Lancaster and had six children: Robert Lee, William Edwin, Kitty Lancaster Kent, J. W., Emily and Cora.
