Surnames: Earp Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Zl.2ADI/91 Message Board Post: I'm searching for my husband's family in Lawrence in the mid-late 1800s. Homer Earp, children Otis Lee and Robert W, probably others, but names unknown. Wife Mary Jane Blake Earp. One child died in a tannery accident in Lawrence as a toddler. Any help would be appreciated. Barb

In response to your query, I checked the marriage and death records index for both Douglas and Jefferson Counties. No entries at all for surname of "Earp". However, did find two entries in Index to Lawrence Newspapers 1873-1881 as follows: ---- Earp mentioned in 4 Sep. 1879 , page 4, of Lawrence Daily Journal. George Earp death reported in 7 Sep. 1879, page 4, issue of Lawrence Daily Journal. Don't know if these persons have any connection to the family you were seeking. However, that was all I have found.
