Source Notes

  • Robert Lawrence (b. ca. 1853) and Peter Kane Lawrence (b. ca. 1859), listed here as possible children of Robert Lawrence (b. ca. 1806), are listed in the 1880 U.S. census, in the household with Robert Lawrence (b. ca. 1806). Relationships were incorrectly recorded by the census taker. Nobody is listed as head of household. Robert (b. ca. 1806) is listed as "son", and his mother Catherine is listed as "mother". The two males Peter Kane and Robert,aged in their twenties, are both labeled "brother",presumably both are sons of Catherine, and brothers of Samuel.
    The two infants, Washington W. LA.,age 2 years, and Annie Gertrude, age 1 month, appear after Peter Kane Lawrence's name, and would normally be presumed to then be his children. This might suggest that Peter Kane Lawrence had been married, and that possibly his wife died at the birth of the infant Annie Gertrude. Wilson Washington Lafayette Lawrence is found listed elsewhere as born 8 May 1878,the oldest son of Peter Kane Lawrence's brother Samuel Lawrence. It is clearly the same child. Samuel may have adopted Peter Kane's son, or the two children in the 1880 census may in fact be the children of Samuel. The census is clearly not well recorded. The infant Annie Gertrude does not appear among the children of Samuel. She may not have survived, regardless of whose child she was.
