This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McCants, Lawrence Classification: Queries Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JeB.2ACI/30.1.2 Message Board Post: There is a story in my family that there was a man named Nathaniel (first name could be wrong) Lawrence McCants that didn't get along with his family so he dropped the name McCants and used Lawrence as his surname. Does anyone have any information confirming this?? He would have been my GG or GGG Grandfather. My Great Grandfather's name was George Lawrence and had a brother named Joseph H. Lawrence. I have searched Josie Bass' website but can't find a McCants/Lawrence link. Can anyone out there help me??? Thanks, Donna
