• 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

  1910 Census indicates William and his wife Jennie were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma on April 30, 1910 at which time they had been married twenty-one years and had three children living with them, Mary who was 14, Grundy who was 11 and Clabe who was 7. It also shows they had Jennie's 12 year old niece, Anna Grove, was living with them. Is shows Jennie had given birth to seven children and only four of them were still living. The Census also incicates that William was a farmer and he was employed by someone else. It shows William and Jennie were both 40 years old. Must confirm this information obtained from Alfred Hennessee: 1900 Census for Indian Territory, Chickasaw Nation, Ara, Oklahoma 12 year old Charlie Hennessee is living with W. E. and Jennie and the Laurence's were listed as Tavnners. "uncle Pid" did not draw the land south of Tinney until 1901 and the lottery information list his place of residence as Ara. One of the children's nick name was Grubbs.
