Event Notes Note (1) Birth date on headstone is Apr 30 1832, which corresponds to the Apr 1832 birth date in the 1900 Census. But age 25 in 1859 marriage record and age 26 in 1860 Census would put birth in about 1834. Note (2) Reports of William A. Lawrence and his wife Rebecca being buried at Stanley (Antioch) Cemetery are incorrect and were based on a misreporting of the 1933 WPA cemetery readings of Doddridge County. Note (3) Birthplace given as Harrison County in marriage record, but as Lewis County in death record.
