I responded to about 35 postings on Sunday and did not realize I was responding to you.I was paying little attention to any of the names.You already knew what I said.The William in Washington Parish and the John in Pike County may both be the sons of Moses Lawrence of Henrico County, VA, who died in Loudon County in 1786.Moses' wife was Mary Begwell.The listing of their children include William, John, Josephus, Peter, etc., just like the names in Mississippi.The name Moses was always thrown about as our ancestor by older Lawrences like Uncle Dewitt and Uncle Cleve, and even John Hillary Lawrence told his children that his grandfather's name was Moses.That is why they believed the signature on the cover sheet of the Bible was Moses and not John.I am not deep into this, but Charley Moore has gone online and we are talking.
