The progenitors of the Lamar family in Milledgeville, Georgia were the brothers John and Zachariah, who moved from Warren County, Georgia in 1810 and settled on the Putnam side of Little River, ten miles north of Milledgeville. ®3785 John Lamar lived in Putnam County, Georgia where he established what was to become known as the "old Lamar homestead." With him lived his bachelor brother, Lt. Col. Zachariah Lamar, a self-taught man who, like many of the men of old plantation times, devoted himself entirely to the world of literature and history. So when sons were born to John Lamar this bookish enthusiast claimed the privilege of naming his infant nephews after his favorite character of the moment and the parents evidently consented. So we have Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus, Thomas Randolph, Mirabeau Buonaparte, Jefferson Jackson, and a grandson Lavoisier Legrand. Zachariah later married, and his daughter, Mary Ann married Howell Cobb. Zachariah was a very wealthy plantation owner and left extensive lands and monies to his three children in his will of 1832. His wife was not mentioned in the will and presumeably deceased.

Zachariah is also in Lot 8. If these are his children and his wife died between 1826 and 1832, she is not in Memory Hill, as no one fits.
