Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/599 Surname: Lawhorne, Staton, Clements, McCloud, Wheeler ------------------------- Your HARTLESS name interests me. I have a James Hilliard LAWHORNE b.Aug 1832 d.1896 Amherst Co. He married Isabelle CLEMENTS Abt1851. I have the death certificate of their son Marcellus LAWHORNE and these are in fact their names. Many researchers have Isabelle HARTLESS or even HERTESS as James' wife's name. No one will answer me on where they got this HARTLESS name. I cannot find her on the Census records. Do you know her? If anyone else reads this post, There are so many Isabelle/Isabella Clements on the 1850 Census, I cannot establish which is mine......Most gracious for any help.
