I appreciate your effort very much.I haven't had much experience at tracing relatives, but it looks like there could be some information available.My great-grandparents were James and Sophie (Holden)Lawrence (Laurence).From the Family Bible:
James Anthony Lawrence
Born: Feb 13, 1849 in Canada
Died: Sep 8, 1896 (maybe Sep 7), age of 47 yr
Lawrence was spelled Laurence in another place
The name Lawrence is supposed to be an adopted name as the father of J.A. Lawrence died and his mother remarried and the children took the name of their stepfather.
Married: Sophie Elizabeth Holden, Sep 11, 1872
Sophie Elizabeth Holden
Born: Jan 25, 1849 in Youngstown, New York
Died: Dec 22, 1913 in Weleetka, Oklahoma, age of 64 yr
It could be that the deed I have was passed down from one of the subsequent owners of the land and not directly from Alexander Laughlin.Johnny Lawrence Deen
