Lavena Louisa Lawlis b Nov 23 1849, in Russell County,KY, d after 1911, married William T. Tuck June 2 1867, in Buchanan County, MO. The first I have on her is the 1850 Census, KY, Russell Co, Reuben Lawless, age 25, farmer, b in KY,Frances, wife, age 23, b in Ky, Eli J., son, age 2, Luvena, dau, age 6 mo, Eli,age 27, brother, b in KY. Eli J., Lavena's brother, b Jan 20, 1848, Russell County, KY, and d July 5, 1907, married Nancy Tuck,b July 18, 1846,in Jackson County, AL, d Dec 23 1928,in St Joseph, Buchanan County, MO. She was William Tuck's sister. This as all about her mother that I am positive of. My Aunt Goldia said their mothers name was Rachel White, according to a conversation she had with Reuben. Don't know. Apparently Frances, or Rachel White, whichever, died in about 1851 or 2, Reuben went to Buchanan County, Missouri, remarried to Nancy Mary Rousey in 1855 as Reuben Lawlis, I am a great-granddaughter, so anything on Lavena's father I will gladly share. Reuben and his brother , Eli, were sons of Jesse Lawless, then Augustine [Austin] Lawless/Lawlis, etc. gramary@bbc.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
