[edit] Source Notes
- Lucinda Ann Stoughton's well-preserved (new?)gravestone lists her birth year as 1859. The census taken on 27 June 1860 however shows her as 6 mos. old. If this gravestone were erected more recently by descendants, perhaps they have miss-interpreted the census record. The only other possibility would be the census taker in 1860 incorrectly listing her age as 6 mos. rather than 18 mos.
- John T. Wilson lists the children of Ella Mae Lawrence as: 1st marriage, Cecil Wimer; 2nd marriage, William Morrow Jr., Lawrence Morrow, & unknown Morrow; 3rd marriage, Lena Kell.
Children of Justice Palmer Meade Lawrence & Maggie Link: Palmer Ernest Lawrence (1906-26 Oct 1963) & John Clayton Lawrence (b. 26 June 1913).
