Thank you so very much. I really do appreciate it. Regards Phyllis in Louisiana

Thanks. That's one more I can eliminate. Phyllis P.S. St. Peters is not listed on Rootsweb. Would it be possible to get a copy or can you tell me where to find it on-line? Thanks

I checked #4.........no Lawsons in it at all. Hank ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 8:07 AM Subject: Re: [LARAPIDE] Robert Severin Lawson Died 1941 > Not in #1 either. I checked > Faye > >

Phyllis, I have checked two of the three volumes of Gone but Not Forgotten, the Rapides Parish Cemetery books, with no success. I only have volumes II & III. I also searched the Grant and Winn Parish cemetery books (adjoining parishes), with no luck. I found lots of Lawsons, but no Robert Severin. Sorry.

Not in #1 either. I checked Faye

I have searched all weekend trying to find the burial site of Robert S. Lawson. If he has a grave marker, he is not at: Rougeau, Fellowship, Butters, or Amiable. I didn't have a way to check St. Peter's Catholic Cemetery at Elmer on-line. Does anyone know where Robert Severin Lawson, son of Robert W. Lawson and Florentine Rougeau Lawson is buried. He was married to Nina R. Stagg and she is buried at Butters with her mother. His parents and an unnamed infant are buried at Rougeau, but he is not there. I would appreciate any and all help with this problem. Thanking you in advance. Regards Phyllis in Louisiana

Seeking information on Rev. Joseph Willis' Children of Rapides Parish, Louisiana Randy Willis [email protected] Web Site: http://www.randywillis.org/ Rev. Joseph Willis, Sr. (1758-1854) and his first wife Rachel Bradford (1762) had the following children: (1) Agerton Willis (1785), (2) Mary Willis (1787), (3) Joseph Willis, Jr., (1792) and (4) Rachel Willis (1794). Rev. Joseph Willis, Sr. and Rachel Bradford lived in Bladen County, North Carolina near the Cape Fear River. Rachel, may well have died giving birth (or soon thereafter) to her daughter Rachel. Perhaps this is the reason Joseph named his second daughter Rachel and not the first. Rev. Joseph Willis, Sr. married a second wife Sarah, (an Irish women) Rev. Joseph Willis, Sr. and his second wife Sarah had the following children: (5) Jemima Willis (1796) and (6) Sarah Willis (1798). By 1794 Joseph had moved to Greenville County (the Washington Circuit Court District), South Carolina. Sarah is called Joseph’s wife in a deed dated August 8, 1799, but died soon thereafter. She died between 1799 – 1802. Rev. Joseph Willis, Sr. married a third wife Sarah(?) Johnson. Joseph settled at Bayou Chicot, Louisiana in 1805. It was at Bayou Chicot that most of his children were born. Rev. Joseph Willis, Sr. and Sarah Johnson had the following children: (7) Sally Willis (1802) [Although she could be the same as Sarah Willis (1798) above], (8) William Willis (1804), (9) Lemuel Willis (1812), (10) John Willis (1814), and (11) Martha Willis(?) (1825). (12-15) Four females were listed in the 1830 census between the ages of five and twenty. It is interesting to note that Rev. Joseph Willis, Sr.'s sons Joseph Willis, Jr., William Willis and Lemuel Willis all had daughters named Sarah. Rev. Joseph Willis' fourth and last wife was Elvy Sweat. Joseph moved to Spring Creek, east of Calcasieu River near Glenmora, Louisiana around 1828-1829. By 1833 he was living near Tenmile Creek. According to family tradition, Elvy was not good to him. As a result of this and Joseph’s failing health, his son Lemuel went and got him and took him to his home in Oakdale, where he lived the remainder of his life. Rev. Joseph Willis Sr. and Elvy Sweat had the following children: (16) Samuel Willis (1836) and (17) Aimuwell Willis (1837-1937). Rev. Joseph Willis' Other Possible Children There were four females listed in the 1830 census between the ages of 5-20 for Rev. Joseph & household. The 1850 Rapides Parish Census also lists an additional four males for Joseph Willis & household: James Willis (1841), William Willis (1845), Timothy Willis (1847) and Bernard Willis (1848). It would be unlikely that Rev. Joseph Willis would have a second son named William. Aimuwell Willis (1837-1937) always said he was Joseph Willis’ youngest son. Perhaps these last four males were grandchildren of Rev. Joseph Willis. Historian Ivan Wise wrote in Footsteps of the Flock: or Origins of Louisiana Baptist (1910) that two sons (18-19) of Joseph died "poisoned on honey and were buried a half mile from the present town of Oakdale, Louisiana." I have not been able to find their graves. Ivan Wise also said, in 1910, that Rev. Joseph Willis had 19 children.

Randy Willis [email protected] Web Site: http://www.randywillis.org/ Willis/Strother Family Connections in 1850 Rapides Parish, Louisiana Rev. Joseph Willis (1758-1854) was the maternal great-grandfather of Dr. Greene Wallace Strother. Greene Strother's (1892-1981) father was John Houston Strother, Sr. (1852-1926). John Houston Strother, Sr. married Carolyn Matilda Willis Strother (1855-1931). She was a daughter of Lemuel Willis (1812) and Eveline/Emeline Perkins. Lemuel Willis was a son of Rev. Joseph Willis. Greene Strother's sister Nellie V. Strother (1899-1984) wrote me in a letter (1983) about her mother: "about Carolyn Matilda Willis Strother - a granddaughter of Joseph Willis. During the Civil War her grandfather Perkins came for her mother [Patsy] and children to live on the plantation. Following her mother's [Patsy] death the children lived there - each had a black nurse. She [Carolyn Willis] was several years younger than the others: Polk, Olive, Sryldia and Liddy. She was given the choice of where to live and she chose Polk [Willis] and his wife Anna. The estate was settled and she and John [Strother], after marriage, settled on her acreage...she was known as pet, mother, mamma, ma, mom." Greene Strother's siblings were Rev. John Houston Strother, Jr. (1873-1950), William (Willie) Strother (1879-1963), Martha Strother Ford (1882-1966), Katie Strother Head (1884-1979), Julius Scott Strother (1889-1966), Harry Winfield Strother (1894-1921) and Nellie Vernice Strother (1899-1984). Greene Strother married Martha Krause. Greene and Martha had four children: Miriam Jean Strother, Greene Wallace Strother, Jr., Joyce Carolyn Strother and Joseph Willis Strother. Their first three children were born in China. John Houston Strother, Sr. father was Alexander Asaria Strother, Sr. (1829-1864). Alexander Strother, Sr. was hung and shot in his front yard during the Civil War, May 11, 1864, by soldiers who were stealing horses. His wife and son John were witnesses to the tragedy and cut him down. Alexander Strother married Martha "Patsy" Coker (1830-1899). She is listed with the maiden name Willis in some later documents, because it would seem, she was raised by Joseph Willis, Jr. & Jennie Coker. Dr. Greene Strother wrote me, in 1981, concerning Alexander and Patsy: "My father's father was Alexander. His wife, my grandmother, was Aunt Patsy Coker. I remember her as a quite little women. He was killed in the Civil War times." Dr. Strother also stated that "Patsy Coker was a granddaughter of Rev. Joseph Willis by his second wife." Alexander Asaria Strother, Sr. and Martha "Patsy" Strother are both buried at Ashworth/Osborne Cemetery. Alexander Asaria Strother, Sr. and Martha "Patsy" Strother's children were: Sarah Strother (1848-1895 - married Chan Johnson), Dr. William Strother, MD (1850-1926), John Strother (1852-1926 - In 1865, he became a coachman for the first carpetbagger governor of Louisiana), Alexander Asaria Strother, Jr. (1854-1941), Martha Strother (1858), Rosanie Strother (1860), Texanna Strother (1870-1937 - married Andrew Johnson), and Mary/Martha Strother (1884 - married Frank Perkins). Alexander Asaria Strother, Sr.'s brother, Richard Strother, III (1843), had a daughter named Matilda by Lucinda "Lydia" Willis (1847). Lydia Willis was a daughter of Rev. Joseph Willis' (1758) son Lemuel Willis (1812) and a sister to Greene Strother's mother Carolyn Matilda Willis Strother (1855). Richard Strother, III, was in the CSA from Nov. to Dec., 1862 and then deserted Dec. 9, 1862. He was later shot soon after having the child by Lydia Willis. He and Lydia could not marry, as he was a hunted man. Lydia later married Henry Stanley. Matilda later married Ruben Fee. Lydia also lost a brother, Crawford Willis, in 1862 at Shiloh in the Civil War. Richard Strother, III joined a group of Jayhawkers (probably the large group based in Oberlin, Louisiana at the time). He would slip into see relatives (although he was not really safe when around some of them) and to see Lydia. He only lived for a short time after their daughter Matilda was born. She only remembered seeing him once. Lydia took her out to the woods on the pretense of looking for a goose nest and he was there on a horse in the woods. Matilda barely remembered him. It was not long after that when the law (or whoever was looking for this group of Jayhawkers) found several of them together and killed them. The location was close to the Calcasieu River near the Ashworth/Osborne Cemetery area. It was a small lake and 5 or 6 men were killed there thus giving it the name "Dead Man's Lake. " Alexander Strother's father was Richard Strother, Jr. (1806). Richard Strother, Jr.'s sister, Rhoda Strother (1814), married Rev. Joseph Willis' son William Willis (1804-1881) on the Darbourn on the upper reaches of the Calcasieu. Richard Strother, Jr.'s brothers John A. Strother, Sr. (1820) and Francis E. Strother (1823) married two of Agerton Willis' daughters. Agerton Willis was the eldest son of Rev. Joseph Willis. John A. Strother, Sr. married Eliza Willis (1818). Francis E. Strother married Mary S. Willis (1827). Eliza and Mary Willis were sisters of Rev. Daniel H. Willis (1817-1887), my great-great-grandfather. Richard Strother, Jr.'s father was Richard Strother, Sr. (b. 1782 Hancock, Georgia, married a Sally? b. 1787, South Carolina). Richard Strother, Sr. was a private in the War of 1812. Richard Strother, Sr.'s children were: Richard Strother (1806), James Strother (?) (1808), Rhoda Strother (1814), William Strother (1817), John A. Strother, Sr. (1820), and Francis E. Strother (1823). Richard Strother, Sr.'s father was Francis Strother. Francis Strother was born in Virginia about 1760 and removed to Georgia. Other Strother relatives wound up in Chambers County, Alabama. Francis Strother then moved to St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. Francis died about 1821 in St. Helena Parish. Francis's first wife died and he then married Sarah Ray Fairchild in 1820, in St. Helena Parish. The Hagan family who are buried with the older Strother graves in Oak Hill Cemetery are also neighbors to the Strothers [Stroders in census records] in St. Helena Parish, in 1820. Francis Strother's father was John Strother, born 1743, in Culpeper, Virgina. He died June 11, 1796 in Hancock County, Georgia. He married Jane Fussell. They had several children including another Richard (who died in 1838 in Hancock, Ga.). Most of the children died in Georgia. Francis Strother died in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, another child, Aaron Strother, died in Arkansas. Several of his children lived in Chambers County, Alabama including at one time a George Strother which the House of Strother book incorrectly gave as the father of the Louisiana Richard Strother. John Strother's father was Francis Strother, born 1709 in St. Marks Parish, Orange County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Fossaker. Francis Strother's father was Jeremiah Strother, born 1655 in Westmorland, Virginia. He died in 1741 in Orange County, Virginia (now New Culpeper, Va.). He married Eleanor? Jeremiah Strother's father was William Strother (the immigrant), born 1630. He died in 1702 in Richmond County, Virginia. He immigrated from England or Germany.

Randy Willis [email protected] Web Site: http://www.randywillis.org/ Strother and Willis Families of 1850 Rapides Parish Most of the Strother and Willis Families, in Rapides Parish, La., were neighbors in 1850. (Pay special attention to the 1850 Census household numbers. The dates in parenthesis are dates of birth and are estimates based upon census records in many cases). (649) Sally Willis (1798/1802). She may be a daughter of Rev. Joseph Willis. She was probably the Sarah Willis (1798) who married Nathaniel West. Their children were: Jackson West, William West (1828), Nathaniel West, Jr. (1834), John West (1836), Hettie West (1838), Andrew West (1840), Sophia West (1844) and Wade West (1852). (661) Francis E. Strother (1823) and his wife Mary S. Willis Strother (1827).

Willis, Sr.'s two eldest daughters were named Eliza Willis (1842) and Mary Jane Willis (1845). I believe Agerton named these two daughters after his sisters Eliza Willis (1818) and Mary Willis (1827). Family tradition states that Rev. Daniel H. Willis, Sr.'s sister would read the Bible while he preached because he was blind in his later years. Sophie Story was an Irish orphan brought from Tennessee by a Mr. Park, who then lived near Holmesville below Bunkie, Louisiana. (659) William Strother (1817) and his wife Mary Doyal/Dyer/Dyal ( 1826). Mary Doyal/Dyer was a daughter of Thomas Doyal/Dyer and Mary Willis. Mary Willis (1787) is also listed. She was probably the daughter of Rev. Joseph Willis. Their children listed in this census are Nancy Strother (1846) (married John Droddy) and William Strother (1849-1932). (658) Joseph Willis, Jr. (1792) and his wife Jane/Jennie Coker (1810). He was a son of Rev. Joseph Willis. Their children were: Joseph P. Willis (1824), Charles Willis (1833), Lemuel Willis (1836), and Elizabeth Willis (1839). It would appear they also raised a granddaughter, Martha "Patsy" Coker (1830-1899). (657) Lemuel Willis (1812) and his wife Eveline/Emeline Perkins (1823 date listed in census has to be wrong). He was a son of Rev. Joseph Willis. Their children were: Mary Willis (1833), Hawkins Willis (1834), Martha Willis (1835), Sarah Willis (1837), Lemuel I. Willis (1839), Olivia "Olive" Willis (1841), James K Polk Willis (1845), Lucinda "Lydia" Willis (1847), Carolyn Matilda Willis (1855), Crawford Willis (died in the Civil War at Shiloh), Sidney P.

(654) John A. Strother (1820) and his wife Eliza Willis (1818). Eliza was Agerton Willis' daughter and a granddaughter of Rev. Joseph Willis. She was a sister to Rev. Daniel H. Willis.

Their children were: James Dyer (1823), Roland Dyer (1830), Joseph Dyer (1831), Elijah Dyer (1834), Elizabeth Dyer (1836), and Jemima Dyer (1839). (422) Rev.

Does anyone know where Robert S. Lawson is buried? His parents, R.W. Lawson and Florentine Rougeau Lawson are buried at Rougeau Cemetery. His wife, Nina R. Hanks is buried at Butters Cemetery. His son, Julian Lawson, is buried at Rougeau Cemetery. I have searched the listings for all these cemeteries on rootsweb and can't find him any where. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards Phyllis in Louisiana

Ethel, Yes, thanks, I do have the book. I was hoping that Nancy might have something farther back, maybe when they were all in SC. I haven't really looked much in the Carolinas yet, but just thought I'd ask to see if she had anything. Thanks again. Marianne in Phoenix >Have you tried the book "Pioneer Families of Rapids Parish".

The Book is titled "Three Pioneer Families of Rapids Parish" and deals mostly with the Roberts, Tanner, and Pearce families from SC to Rapids Parish. Very good, but I find no mention of Hill, Crump, or Brimer; except the 2 following very brief mentions: 1.Arthur Fort married Alice Hill: #2. Robert Edward Lee Bettison married Gussie Hill (no further info on either Hill. Best to you--Ethel.

I have been searching for information on Peter Marion Lee our great grand father, who is listed below in the 1860 census and 1850 census. In 1850 census he is residing with and working for with the Robertson family. What I am in need of is his who are his parents? Is Robertson's wife a Lee? Would a marriage or birth record of children indicate this information on Robertson family? Since Lee is listed as a dentist in 1860 and his wife Eleanor Walter is from Maryland would their be some sort of records on file for him to practice in LA? He was in the Confederate Army but have found no records to date. I have been told there is a Robertson Cemetery in Alexandria area, could he be buried there. No death certificate has been located on him. Please, if someone could help us locate information on Lee it would be a tremendous help.

Were Louis Quinton Barnidge and Clara Howerton the grandparents of your Quinton Barnidge Jr.? Louis Quinton was born 1853 and died 1884. Clara was born 1855 and died 1889. They married in 1878. Louis Quinton Barnidge was the son of William Barnidge and Eliza P. Swann. Eliza was born 1827 and died 1896. William, Eliza, and Louis are buried in the Barnidge Cem. Clara Howerton Barnidge is buried at Rougeau Cem. I hope some of this helps. When and if I get more, I will send it to you. Regards Phyllis in Louisiana

No one has contacted me with Barnidge information. I will be happy to share whatever I get. Regards Phyllis in Louisiana
