Welcome to the board. Is your name Betty Beene? We are a friendly & helpful board with many people exchanging information. I help all I can as do others. It gets a little confusing at time trying to keep up with all the different messages and request when people do not give their name. At least that goes for me. It also help me to keep my interest if I know where the person lives. My personal request is for all to sign off with their name (first and last) and where they live. This is not a requirement of the board and certainly not a demand (but a request) by me. My reason for this may sound strange or unfriendly to new members, but as time goes on I think you will see and agree of its importance in adding to the interest and input to the board. Now, I have a few tidbits of information that may help in this question at this time, but maybe after some research I will have more. Your listed surnames are very common in Red River county. We have Carl Bean Motors that recently closed, Ester L Lawrence (maybe Lowrance) was the second wife of my GG Gf Wiley W Giddens and is buried at Concord Cemetery in Red River Co. Also the records show at Concord a Wade H Lowrance died Dec 1918 and was a Pvt in the 70 Balloon Btn. My Concord plot map drawn up by my dad show 3 other Lawrence (Lorwarnce ) gave, all in the are of Ester L Giddens. One of the Lawrence graves has dates of b 1-25-1858 died 1-4-1908. Payne: there are some Payne graves at Blanton Creek Cemetery north of Bagwell. I believe Dr Payne (at Clarksville when I was a teen in the 50s) is buried at Blanton Creek. This may not help, but maybe these tidbits can be of some help to you, you just never know.

Thanks for your response. I'm afraid I don't have enough information to connect with any of the names you gave me except for Wade H. Lowrance but I have not tied him to parents yet. Phoebe Bean married William M. Lowrance in 1868 in Red River Co., TX, children Sam, John, Alice, Annie, Mary, Willie and Catherine that I know of so far. There was a L. R. Bean in Red River Co. in 1880 census born in TN about 1822 who is probably related to my Beans, could be a son of William. Other surnames in Red River Co. are Hamil, Poteet, Humphrey, Thrower and Pulattie. They were in the Clarksville and Manchester area. Mary Jane Bean Billingsley moved to Lamar Co. in 1880.
