Lanter's of Madison Co., KY

William Lanter and Clementine Jane Baber are my great grandfather and great grandmother.They lived in the vicinity of Union City not many miles from Richmond.William was clerk of the Union City Baptist Curch for many years.The records that he kept were destroyed years later when a lady cleaning for a later church clerk burned them.His son and my grandfather was Robert Nehemiah Lanter.He and his wife Mollie lived in the vicinity of Union City, operated a country store in partnership with John Wilson in Clark Co, and eventually owned a small farm locaed near College Hill in Madison Co.He and his wife lived in an old log house that had been weatherboarded.It was not a full two story but the upstairs was sometimes used as an extra bedroom and for storage.The kitchen had been built separately from the main structure but had later had a connecing room added.The kitchen had a large open fireplace with a swinging arm supporting kittles.At the time I was born I believe my grandmother had acquired a wood and coal burning cook stove.Both Robert and Mollie were active in the Baptist church located at Waco where he served as deacon. He and his wife enjoyed company.On one occasion he invited the members of the church to eat their Sunday noon meal with him.Seventy five accepted the invitation.At that time, some church members would bring a dish to church with them in anticipation of a meal with some of the members. I believe Robert was shorter than his father, William. Both men probably had wavy hair, and I know that both had handle bar mustaches.
While examining tax lists for Madison County for the 1817-1819 period I found the names of Richard W. Lanter, Thomas Lanter, Jr., and Asa Lanter. All were over 21 and were probably recent migrants from Orange Co., Va.
Does anyone have any informatio on Richard W. or Asa?
