• Histories

  The Laurence Name The Laurence family has been connected to the Harrison and Hennessee families since the mid 1800s in Warren County, Tennessee. There has been much confusion of the spelling of the name, even within the Laurence family, and I therefore felt it was important to have a place for the research and clairification of the Laurence name.

  
  

• Notes

  While doing research on this Laurence family from Warren County, Tennessee, this researcher found in The Warren County Story by Eugene Wiseman, researcher Mary Elizabeth Barnes, that James fought in the Civil War in Company E of the Warren County 16th Regiment. More research needs to be done on this and his original service record downloaded from the National Archives. There is also a Newton Laurence mentioned in the book who married a Martin who lived at Harrison Ferry Mountain which was owned by Audley Harrison. Audley Harrison's grandson, Alph, married James Laurence's granddaughter two generations later and they moved to Lawrence Township, Oklahoma. I will contact Mary Elizabeth Barnes and request that she send me her research on the Laurence and Grove families.
