"John married his cousin Rebecca Lamar. The marriage produced
nine children who reached maturity. Source: Florrie Belle
Randle, granddaughter of Amelia Lamar Randle.
John Lamar lived in Putnam County, Georgia where he established
what was to become known as the "old Lamar homestead." With him
lived a 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 the head of the house 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.
The Lamar's 1,000 acre plantation near Milledgeville, Georgia
was known as Fairfield.
Progenitors of the LAMAR family in Milledgeville were the
brothers John and Zachariah, who moved from Warren County in
1810 and settled on the Putnam side of Little River, ten miles
north of Milledgeville.
Putnam Court of Ordinary: 4 March 1835. Administrators of John
LAMAR, dcd, have leave to sell all the real estate of the said
dcd for the purpose of making a distribution among the heirs of
said deceased. Died after a short but violent illness.

III, p. 89
His memorial at his grave on the old homestead says:
"In memory of John LAMAR, who died August 3, 1833, aged
sixty-four years. He was a man of unblemished honor, of pure and
exalted benevolence, whose conduct through life was regulated by
the strictest principles of probity, truth and justice; thus
leaving behind him, as the best lagacy to his children, a noble
example of consistent virtue. In his domestic relations he was
greatly blessed, receiving from every member of a large family
unremitting demonstrations of respect, love and obedience."
