We are indeed related if the information that I have is correct. I blieve my great grandfather was named Robert Lawrence. Many of the Lawrence and White families lived in the near Merry Hill area, and about 50 years ago, my mother took me to see the area where she was born near the Albemarle sound. Incidentally one of my mother's younger brothers was named Paul Lawrence, and he has a soon that was an executive with the telephone company in Rich. Va. that is named William Paul or Paul William that goes by the name of Paul Lawrence. I would be very interested in any information that you have that would connect us. Blessings Rev. John R.
