Lawrence married Edith Ann. Edith was born about 1831 in Alabama, USA; died about 1862. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Edith Ann was born about 1831 in Alabama, USA; died about 1862.

Other Events and Attributes:

Occupation: Housewife
Census: 6 Jun 1880, Milton, Santa Rosa, Florida, USA

Notes:

Edith Ann Mayo appeared to have died about 1862. She was alive at the time the 1860 census was taken, but Lawrence had remarried by 1870. His children at that time included Sarah, by his first wife, and three younger children who appear to be by his second wife. Based upon these latter childrens’ ages, it appears that Edith Ann would have died in the early 1860s.
