In 1730 he married Juliana Kraemer (1712-1762), and they came to America the next year, on the <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/palship4.htm#pa">Pennsylvania Merchant</A>, settling in York Co. PA. They left many descendants in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, including a Canadian branch, and there are several researchers working on this family.

In 1769, along with three other boys, he got into some trouble; two of them ran away, and the other two planned to do the same but were caught. All were scolded, but two continued to be insolent and one of them fired a gun into a keg of oil. A whipping was ordered, and they caused no more trouble, but the church diaries record that John continued to be unhappy and homesick for his parents in Pennsylvania, and was permitted to return home. In 1772 he returned to NC and purchased land on his father's account and for other families from Yorktown. He settled in the Friedland community, and so far as one can tell, became a model citizen. He married Catharina Rominger in 1773.<P> <HR> <H4>Third Generation</H4> <B>Children of John Lanius and Catharina Rominger</B><BR> Elisabeth Lanius (1774-1850) m. <A HREF="butner.html">Christopher Butner</A> (1769-1808) <BR> Jacob Lanius (1776-1853) m. <A HREF="kroehn.html">Christina Kroehn</A> (1778-1849) moved to Georgia<BR> Heinrich Lanius (1778-?) m.
