Thank-you for the wonderful information. The Lawter side is my grand-fathers family who had Lawter Tractor in Indiana, but don't know any farther back, would love to know more about where they came from originally. Also, the Rice and Rowe Family is my grandmothers side of the family and we know nothing about them. I remember hearing, as a child, that someone on grandmothers side signed the Declaration of Independence. I'd love to know more. Thanks for all your help. I intermittantly work on this so that my children will have it. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
