Latham Lanphere was born in about 1752 in Hopkinton, Kings County, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, the son of Joshua and Zerviah (Ellis) Lanphere.  He died after 1810, probably in Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York.  Latham married Anna Wilbur in January 1772 in Hopkinton.  Anna was born in about 1744 in  Westerly, Kings County, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, the daughter of Samuel Wilbur.  Anna died in about 1813, probably in Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York.  They had at least 4 children.

Latham and Anna (Wilbur) Lanphere are my 5th great-grandparents, through their son Isaac Lanfear (1777-1851), who married Rosina Lown (1781-1881) in  1809.
