Nan, Thank you - this is the right family - at least Springsted is. If SKS could check the 1860 or 1880 census index for Vernon Twp. it would be most appreciated. Vernon Twp David Lawrence may be an elder brother (or nephew) of Sabra Lawrence Springsted. Sabra's uncle David Lawrence b 1800 NY was in WI 1850. His? son? Jay is the only child we know of. Jay was with David Lawrence in 1850. Am just realizing Maria Lawrence, w o G. B. Bannister could be Sabra's sister. Does anyone have information on the Bannisters?
