Lander, Samuel, 1792-1865

The Reverend Samuel Lander Sr. was born in Tipperary, Ireland, in 1792, the son of William Lander. He married Eliza Ann Miller (b. 1793) in 1812; the couple had at least four children. Lander, a Methodist minister and carriage maker, moved to Boston, Mass., in 1818 because of Catholic intolerance of Methodism in Ireland. The family first lived in Newark, N.J., before settling in Salisbury, N.C., where Lander became a United States citizen. He lived in Lincolnton, N.C., from 1828 until his death in 1865.
