Original compiler
The title and front matter of the revised genealogy identify Erma Poston Landers of Atlanta, Georgia as the original compiler of the 1965 work.
Research legacy
Her compilation assembled family tradition, court records, census references, archive materials, and information supplied by family members. The revised edition preserves that structure while adding modern source reconciliation and editorial cautions.
Edition relationship
The current digital editions distinguish the original 1965 compilation from the later revised, authenticated, and updated work. This page treats Landers as the original compiler rather than collapsing her contribution into the later editorial work.

Documentary evidence and archive links
The linked Archive records are documentary or compiled research aids. Where an Archive page labels an item as a research guide rather than primary proof, this page preserves that distinction.
