David: I was speaking of my Dad who was from Hopkinsville, Kentucky. He mustered into the 11th. U.S. Cavalry in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia just in time for the Mexican Campaign. He came to Columbia, South Carolina as a Buck Sgt. when they opened Fort Jackson at the onset of WWI. There is a town in S.C. called Landrum, near the N.C. border. The ones that put an "s" at the end of their name ("Landers") like the College in Greenwood, S.C. are the money side of the family. Both sides came from Virginia. We are related to the Lees and the Washingtons through the Randolph Branch of the family. My grandmother was a Randolph.
Best Regards, George
