The 1900 census for Robertson Co. TX the family is listed. It shows the following children: Herman b. 1883, Marvin J. b. 1886, Lena b. 1889 and Lela Lee b. 1891, and Ann E. b.1835 S.C. listed as mother. The next entry is for a Lee Lawrence b. 1881, wife Frances E. b. 1882 and a son Willie L. b. 1900. I truly believe that Lee Lawrence is a son of Will and Alice. . Lela Lee Octavia married a John George Meeks in Lampasas, Tx in 1906. John Meeks died in 1919 of Typhoid. Lela remarried two more times, one to a Otto Guenther and the other was Steve Cavins. She died in 1929 in Pampa, Gray Co. TX. and is buried in the Fairview Cemetery under the name of Lela O. Cavins. She had three young children that were put in an orphanage in Tipton, OK. I was able to get copies of the orphanage home records on the kids. A J. M. Lawrence is listed as an Uncle to the children. Also listed is Timmie Bowlan/Bowlin and Pearl Wharton as Aunts. I do not know if these two women were part of the Meeks or Lawrence families. Also according to the papers Mary "Alice" Lawrence died Oct. 27,1920 in Eastland, Tx. If anyone has information on any of the above people please let me hear from you. Tassy
