Born in Greenwich and died in East Greenwich.
Listed in royal court.
Also an artist of great ability, in sketching and painting, as well as carving many beautiful objects from sardonyx, one being a very delicate and fine likeness of the Queen.
Evelyn, in his "Memoirs", writes of seeing Jerome Lanier in the household of Queen Elizabeth, a "man skilled in painting and carving".
Writes in his will of his "poor little estate". During the Civil War, the fortunes of the Laniers, and others loyal to the Crown declined; they lost their appointments, suffered privation, even starvation, and often imprisonment.
After the dethroning, and decapitation, of King Charles I, many of Nicholas the Younger's paintings were dispersed.
Jerome and his brother, Clement, were able to purchase some of these back for the family. However, the family lost most of their wealth during the civil war while Oliver Cromwell was in power as Lord Protector. When Charles, Prince of Wales (later Charles II) came to the throne, the Lanier family regained much of their stature and fortune. Clement
Lanier either died or was buried November 6, 1661 in East Greenwich, England. The will was proved December 3, 1661 and registered May 20, 1662.

JEROME'S MOTHER Lucretie "Lucreece" Bassano Lanier:
She was the daughter of the Bassano family of musicians who came to England to serve Henry VIII. They probably originated from the city of Bassano del Grappa near Venice. At that time, the fabulous Renaissance courts of the Medici were winding down and the artists and musicians of those courts were seeking work elsewhere. So one can imagine that our Lucreece was of a very cultured background. Assuredly, she was as instrumental as her husband, Nicholas Lanier, in passing her own enlightenment on to her children.
Lucreece Bassano, born 9/24/1556, London, England. Married Nicholas Lanier, 2/13/1570-1, All Hallows Barking Parish, London, England. Lucreece Bassano died 1/4/1633-4, East Greenwich, England, buried St Alphege, Greenwich,
Kent.
