     John Lawrence was born circa 1800 in Tennessee.^1,2,3 He married Betsey McKinsey on 12 October 1820 in Sumner Co., Tennessee.^4,5

     I believe that there is a possibility that the John Lawrence who married Betsey McKinsey is the son of Charles and brother of Lemuel, and is the John Lawrence that appears in Henry Co., Tennessee on the 1850 and 1860 census.

     Additional information on the descendants of John Lawrence of Henry Co. was provided by John Lawrence of Centerton, Arkansas, in his book Tennessee Pioneers in Henry County.

     In the Census of 1850 enumerated 18 December 1850, John Lawrence was listed as a head of household in Henry Co., Tennessee. He was listed at age 51, occupation as a farmer, born in Tennessee. Also enumerated in the household: Harriet A. Lawrence, Adeline Lawrence and Melissa A. Lawrence.³

     In the Census of 1860 enumerated 15 August 1860, John Lawrence was listed as a head of household in Henry Co., Tennessee. He was listed at age 60, occupation as a farmer, born in Tennessee. Also enumerated in the household: Harriet A. Lawrence.²

     William Lawrence was born circa 1805 in Tennessee.^1,2,3 He married Harriett McKinney on 4 January 1823 in Sumner Co., Tennessee.^1,4,5 William died in 1869.¹

     In the Census of 1850 enumerated 11 September 1850, W. Lawrence was listed as a head of household in Weakley Co., Tennessee. He was listed at age 45, occupation as a farmer, born in Tennessee. Also enumerated in the household: Harriett Lawrence.²

     In the Census of 1860 enumerated 29 August 1860, Wm. Lorance was listed as a head of household in Weakley Co., Tennessee. He was listed at age 54, occupation as a farmer with real estate value of $1500 and personal estate value of $600, born in Tennessee. Also enumerated in the household: Harriett Lorance, William Lorance, Henry Lorance and May Lorance.³

     Annah (Amah) Lawrence was born say 1790. She married John Moss on 24 May 1809 in Sumner Co., Tennessee.^1,2 Annah died after 1840.

     Amah's birth date is estimated on her marriage date of 1809 and assuming she was probably between the ages of 18 and 21.

     Amah obviously was alive when property was purchased for the support of the heirs of Charles in 1833, but apparently was deceased by 1849 when her share of the property was sold to Lemuel. She may be the female that appears in the 1840 census in the 50-60 age group in the household of Lemuel Lawrence.
