Description:

More digging – maybe using family history sites or local historical records – might help.

However, we can guess at some possibilities. Lathar is one, a slight spelling change. Another might be Lathier, adding a French-style ending. Or, maybe Lathers, which is a plural version. These are just educated guesses; to know for sure, wed need to do some serious family history digging.
