In 1815 Michael Deckard was charged in Wytheville, Virgina with stabbing Reuben Lanter with intent to kill. I don't know the outcome of the trial. There was a Reuben Lanter between the ages of 30-40 in the 1830 census for Campbell County, Tennessee. I don't know if this is the same Reuben. Does anyone have information to share on Reuben Lanter?
