Lawrence Brothers of Taney & Douglas County, Missouri

Tradition has it that a widow and her four young sons migrated from Tennessee to Kentucky and on to Indiana. They settled where the city of Indianapolis now stands. At a later date the four sons came to Missouri and settled on or near Beaver Creek in Taney and Douglas Counties. Some have suggested that they were the sons of Richard Lawrence (b. 1787 Virginia, d. 1818 Kentucky) but proof is needed. The sons Samuel, Henry, Randolph D., and William E. had the following families:
