No original source documents can be found to tell us exactly when Lansford was born or when/where he died. His parents married sometime after (perhaps years after) 1703 and Lansford was 21 years of age by 1735 (owned property). Therefore, his year of birth would have been between 1704 and 1714. He would have been born in Henrico County Because that's where his parents lived. Lansford was mentioned in his father's will dated 23 Oct 1752.[1] But part of his name is missing because the page is torn. Compared to other handwriting in the will, it appears as if the name could have originally been written as Lunsford or Lansford. An accurate transcription of the will is included in his father's biography at https://theowensodyssey.com/william.php.
His marriage to Elizabeth Harrison is unproven. There is no proof that he had a son, William.

Note
The following appears to be the marriage information for Lansford's parents and a list of their children. It tells us nothing of Lansford's marriage (if he ever married) or of his possible children. This whole section should be removed because the only sources point to URL's that no longer exist and because it simply mirrors the better sourced information in the respective profiles.
While processing relationships in the gedcom some additional information was found which may be relevant.
