Their history so closely parallels that of my Claborne Lawrence, yet I can't connect him to this line. (Info for Claborne: b. 1811 Union Co, IL, served in Ist Regt Texas Vols, Col Morehouse, enlisted Sep 1835, and Co. of Vols, Washington Co, Reg. of Rangers, Jun 30 1836 to Jul 19, 1836, patenting his land grant 10 Feb 1846. First m. UNK, American Indian, at Austin Colony, second m. 1838 Margaret Hensley, b. 1819, AR. Daughter by 1st m. was Abarilla m. Evan Ferrell, Washington Co,TX.) If you are interested in Wm's siblings or know of a connection for Claborne, I will happily exchange information! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
