Bonnie, I saw the same obit, and I can't find any of the brothers or the children of this Lawrence Hoffpauir in my database. Nor can I positively identify anyone as the Noah Hoffpauir (his father) mentioned in the obit. I wonder if his father's name might have been Manoah, and the family called him Noah? Hopefully Felton will have the marriage records of Lawrence, so we can possibley determine his parents and the surnames of his two wives.
