My grandfather, William Lazarus Lawson, married Martha Jane German. At the time of their marriage Grandmother had a girl named Lilly Davenport. I have no idea if my grandmother was married previously and assumed her maiden name after a divorce, or if Aunt Lilly was born out of wedlock William Lazarus was born July 12, 18633, Martha Jane was born June 07, 1862. They were married on 12-23-1882
