RICHARD LANNING (JOHN LANNING1) was born unknown in Wales and died after 1742 in New Jersey.
Maidenhead was founded in 1697 as part of Burlington County. In 1714, Maidenhead became a part of Hunterdon County and the town was legally incorporated in 1798. In 1816 the name Maidenhead was officially changed to Lawrenceville (for rather obvious reasons). When Mercer County was formed in 1838, the new boundaries took in Lawrenceville and that town has remained in Mercer County ever since. So, when RICHARD was born, he was born in Burlington County but his two siblings were born in Hunterdon County. The family didn't move, it was the county boundaries that moved.
