(Lorren or MacLorren or McLorren or O'Lorren or
Laurin or MacLaurin or McLaurin or O'Laurin)
and his descendants
Updated 23 Feb. 2003
My link with this family is shown in bold "red".
The following information on the extensive family of our "COMMON" sire John Lorren is a constant work in progress. As new information comes my way I will update this section to include adding and deleting information so I encourage you to check back every now and then for just such changes. This information is to be used much like a "springboard" to perhaps put you in a direction of travel. I owe a tremendous debt to:
Payne Daniel for his willingness to share the information available on his web page at (http://paynedaniel.com/) with me so that I could combine our information and bring you the most comprehensive Lorren information available to the "net" and to our extended family.
Mildred Perry for her willingness to share her vast knowledge of our Lorren and related families. Mildred writes genealogy articles for the Cleburne News - People in Your Past
J.B. Lorren for his unselfish willingness to share information. I met J.B. in the 80s, lost contact, and found him again this year. I have talked with him on many occasions and regret that I have not been able to travel and give him a great big hug and thank you in person for all that he has done for our Lorren family research efforts.
Graylin Smith, another Knighton, Pollard, Lorren researcher, wrote me Feb 2003 and added information on his family. Graylin's email address is graylinsmith@yahoo.com.
I wish to make known two areas on this list that have enough unanswered questions to make the information as I present here questionable. The first is that there is a possibility that James B. Lorren (married to Jerri Ann Knighten) is the son of George A. Lorren and not John L.C. Lorren as I have listed below...if you choose to believe that James is the son of John L.C., then you must also assume that John L.C. Lorren had a first, unknown wife and pursue (along with me) documentation to back this assumption up. You must also get a copy of the 1910 census (Alabama-Cleburne Co.) as this is the document that puts James B.'s parentage in question. The second question that you must consider involves whether George "Pap" Lorren is the son of Julia Pollard Knighten Lorren or Martha Price Lorren. The 1880 Census lists John and Julia's second son as "George, age 9". It is uncertain whether Julia and Martha both had sons named George. I have moved George's place in the line as the last child of John and Julia (1.1.5.7 instead of 1.1.5.2) until I determine for sure how many George Pap's there were. Researchers should also know that George "Pap" is listed on a page taken from the Lorren Bible but there is no birth date that would resolve who his mother was (at least that I have). I ask that if you have documentation or obtain documentation resolving or confirming any information listed herein, please let me know.
I have not been able to take the "Lorren" surname back any further than
I have listed below (John Lorren's marriage to Julia Ann McPherson).
It is always possible that this is the "first" Lorren, but I don't
believe this is
so. I think there is a strong possibility that the Lorren surname
was once
"O" Lorren or "Mac" Lorren...and it is also very likely that the original
spelling was not "Lorren" - indeed, searching for the surname "Lorren"
prior to George A. Lorren #1.1. below proved futile...so I started reviewing
my documents again...other researchers had listed John and and Julia Ann
(McPherson) as "Lorren" and their children with the "Lorren" spelling and
spelled their daughter's name "Jerusha" and went on to state that Jerusha
and her brothers were orphaned at a young age and that Jerusha went to
live with her McPherson relatives; furthermore, the researchers stated
this was shown in the 1850 Blount County, Alabama Census. This evening,
March 1, 2002, I finally had the opportunity to review the Census and this
is what I found (note the McPherson information is correct as research
shows through documentation of the McPherson line):
| HN | FN | Last Name | First Name | Age | Sex | Occup. | Val. | Birth-
place |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Daniel | 48 | M | Farmer | 500 | Ten. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Debyan | 44 | F | -------- | ------- | S.C. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Wm. | 23 | M | Farmer | ------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | George | 21 | M | Farmer | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Elizabeth | 13 | F | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | John D. | 16 | M | Farmer | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Lucy | 11 | F | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Richard | 9 | M | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Nancy | 7 | F | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Jas. | 5 | M | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | McPherson | Monroe | 3 | M | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | LAURIN | Jarncia | 28 | F | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | Sims | Robert | 28 | M | Farmer | 150 | S.C. |
| 495 | 498 | Sims | Ann | 18 | F | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
| 495 | 498 | Young | Eliza | 19 | F | -------- | -------- | Ala. |
Looking at the above it is easy and reasonable to understand how "Laurin" could become "Lorren" and how "Jarncia" could become "Jerusha" - Both spellings of "Lorren" sound alike and "Jarncia" could have been read as "Jarucia" or "Jerusha" which would be a letter error.
Then I compared the McPherson information for the above McPherson family and this is what I found:
1.1.1.2.6 George
McPHERSON
(note)
Then I looked at the 1860 Census for Calhoun Co., Ala where George "Lorren"
(Jarncia/Jerusha's brother) is listed:

In the SOUNDEX, the name was spelled Lorron. On the Census, the name is spelled Lorren. In the 1870 Census, (M593 Roll 9 Page 12 Township 19 Range 11) Edwardsville Post Office, Elizabeth is listed as Martha. On the 1860 Federal Census for Calhoun Co., the wife of George A. Lorren is shown as Elizabeth.
Now I will search the "Laurin" surname and keep in mind that family stories state that the "Lorren" name once began with an "O"Lorren or "Mac"Lorren eventually dropping the "O"/"Mac".
Comments are welcome....
I will be adding "date information" and "notes" to the individuals in this data bank as time allows. If you find a name that you need information on before I have it put up, please Email me!
1. John LORREN/LAURIN
(notes)
b. Betw.
1791-95 Hawkins Co., Tn
d. Betw. 1827-1834
Note:
Some researchers believe this John is the first Lorren in the U.S. and
is
the British sailor that is mentioned throughout other researchers' works
stating that there were two Johns - a Senior (above) and a Junior (the
John son listed below)- I dispute this in that I believe and have researched
on the assumption that the above Lorren is the Jr. I have requested
records that I hope will verify what I believe to be the case - that there
was indeed another "John Lorren" father to John above (making him
the Jr.). In thinking about this, I have used as my springboard family
and
other researchers' belief that John was a British sailor, his reasons for
coming "South", family stories handed down, and a timeline of events
in history relative to birth and death records. I will update as
soon as
I have received the information that may clear this controversy up.

Note: It is also possible that George is the second son and his brother
John is the first born and the daughter, Jerusha, the baby. I list
George as first as I have found no records on the son John's
birth.

Note: 1. Carroll County Georgia Tax Digest 1842 - transcriber of
this
document lists a "George A. LOVIN" 653 8 - I believe this may be
a transcription error for "Lorren"; also, Elijah McPherson Agt 813 7
listed on this tax roll - Elijah McPherson was a brother of George's
mother-
2. GEORGIA CIVIL WAR SOLDIER INDEX - Page 174 -
states a G.A. "Loren" Private served in Company H, 1st Reg't, GA
and then gives a G.A. "Lorren" Private served in Company H,
1st Reg't, GA Cav. - This is probably the same G.A.

know is wrong, please, please contact me. It is at this point my
research is word of mouth. Names of children may be
repeated, births out of order, and whether John was married
twice or three times is not known for sure. I can only be sure
of my line through Samuel Prathell Lorren, John's son by
Julia (Pollard)(Knighten) Lorren. So if you are a sibling and
can add to or correct me, please write so that, eventually, we

Forrister's and Porters came to North Alabama/
Georgia just after the War Between the States.
They came from Murphy (Cherokee County)
North Carolina. Many of them were just over
the Georgia line from Cleburne county Alabama.
William Brownlow was born about 1870 in
Georgia (not positive but I believe Esom Hill).
His parents were Johnny Coleman Forrister
and Louise WELCH."

George number 1.1.5.3 on the chart (remember,
I believe John may have been married prior to
Julia and had at least one child - John Breckenridge
Lorren who would take the number 1 slot, making
William A. Lorren - John and Julia's first born -
number 2 on the chart), Corruth as 1.1.5.4,

The list of nine children of John Lorren and Martha
Jane Price
was supplied by Sandra Seal, a granddaughter. The 1910
Cleburne County, Alabama Census lists the children and
mother, Marthie age 28. From the Notes of Sandra Seal: "My
grandfather, John Lorren had nine children with Martha Jane
Price. He was her second husband and much older than her.
I do not know whom she married the first time, but she had a
daughter by her first husband. I don't know who raised this
child or her name. I don’t know if she lived with her dad or
my grandmother and grandfather. My dad said that she was
murdered when she was a young woman. He said a man cut
her throat [I] never asked my dad if he grew up with her
so I don''t know if he actually knew her. All that I know about
my grandfather’s first wife was that she died and Mr. Lorren
had several sons by her. They were grown when John and
Martha got married. In fact, the story goes that my
grandmother was very pretty and some of Mr. Lorren’ s
sons had tried to date her before she married my
grandfather". According to the Census, J. L. C. Lorren
was living alone at the age of 51, probably between
marriages?

Questions regarding the parentage of James B. Lorren (married Jerri Ann Knighten) came up during my correspondence regarding the parentage of James B. Lorren (married Jerri Ann Knighten) with Payne Daniels. I am including a portion of that correspondence just in case someone out there can help resolve the issues. The correspondence:
Payne Daniels asked: "Do you ignore the 1910 census that list James the son of George A. as being born in 1860-61, with the correct dates for his sibs? What is your reference for a DOB for the James Lorren that you have listed for George A. as 1854?"
My answer: "I don't have the 1910 census so I'm going on your review of it... so here are the lists as to how it would work...but first, I took James' (son of George A.) birth date from LDS birth record which contradicts the 1910 census...but ignoring that it leaves us with the following reasoning:
1.
If the census has a James (son of George A. listed (and not to confuse
George A. father
and George L. son) living with father George in 1910 with a birth of abt.
1860 he would
be living with dad at the age of abt. 60...that brings up the questions:
i. why was James living with dad and not with wife Jerri (Annie) Knighten
Lorren (who
was alive for the 1910 census) in their own home?
ii. LDS did not list any children for this James...and I do not know
of any, this could
explain why James was still living with dad George A. at the 1910 census
BUT we
know that our J.B. and Jerri Ann had at least 12 children by the 1910 census.
Were those children listed as a part of George A's household in the 1910
census?
The children would be (as given by J.B. Lorren's g-grandson):
1. Mary (Mollie) Lorren (b. 1881)
2. George Lorren (b. 1884)
3. James (Bill) Wright Lorren (b. 1885)
4. Sarah Ellen Lorren (b. 1888)
5. John Marion Luther (father to J.B. Lorren that gave me info) (b.
1890)
6. Julia L. (Rosie) Lorren (b. 1896)
7. Lula A. Lorren (b. 1896) (twin of Julia)
8. Lillie Mae Lorren (b. 1899)
9. Estellea Lorren (b. 1901)
10. Louella Lorren (b. 1901) (twin of Estellea)
11. Thomas (Tom) Lorren (b. 1904)
12. Alex B. Lorren (b. 1907)
I don't know where J.B. and Jerri were living when the children were born
other
than JB and Jerri married in 1875 in Esom Hill, GA...and the story infers
JB and
Jerri were living in or near Esom...we need to check census records for
that area
to locate (if possible) Jerri and JB...
iii.
This James (son of George A.) is listed in the 1870 census but not
the 1860 census,
which would be a conflict with LDS birth record of 1854 and a pro for James
(son of
George A.) being our J.B. Lorren.
Problems:
iv.
J.B. Lorren (the alive grandson of James B. and Jerri Knighten) stated
his grandmother
Jerri married her "half" brother...this would pose a conflict in that George
A.'s son
James would be Jerri's "uncle" - hard to confuse the two words...BUT, it
could be
possible since George A.'s son James would have been 3 yrs. old right after
Jerri
was born in 1863, and they could have grown up together and married.
v.
The following is a verbatim email sent to me by Martha McFarland (daughter
to living
J.B.) (and also where I came across the other two names - John and Tom)
and where
I came up with the first *unknown to me* wife theory....Martha wrote:
"Attached is a picture of Julia Ann Pollard - born 3-20-1839 & died
08-06-1899
and John L. C. Lorren - not sure of date of birth (maybe 1847) died in
1931. He
was married to an unknown woman before Julia Ann Pollard. He had
at least 4
children by this unknown woman: John, Tom, James Breckenridge (born
12-01-1860 died 10-12-1922), and Lubie. Lubie married James Barnes and
had a daughter Nancy Lou Vennie Barnes who later married John Marion Lorren
who was the son of Jerri Ann Elevelton Knighten and James Breckenridge
Lorren.
John L.C. Lorren and Julia Ann Pollard were married after 1863 and had
the
following children: Samuel Prathel Lorren, Carruth Lorren, James Tilton
Lorren,
Haley Lorren, Warner Lorren, Mattie Lorren and Julie Lorren (NOTE: these
names were written in John and Julia's Family Bible; it is not clear
whether all these children were by Julia or by Martha as birth dates
were not listed.)
Prior to marrying John L. C. Lorren, Julia Ann Pollard married Jeremiah
Knighten
on August 26, 1857. Jeremiah Knighten was born 12-09-1828 and died
05-03-1863, Julia Ann Pollard and Jeremiah Knighten had the following known
children:
1. Sarah A. Knighten
2. Thomas Wright Knighten, and
3. William Alex Knighten
Jeremiah's first wife was Julia Ann Pollard's sister - Mandy Pollard.
They had
one known child: John L. Knighten. (email from Martha Lorren Razer McFarlin,
daughter of J.B. Lorren and Mary Elizabeth Dixon Lorren)
MY NOTE (see Knighten page):
Jeremiah Knighten
m. #1 Amanda (Mandy) POLLARD m. 1849
Children:
1. John Littleton KNIGHTEN
2. Malissa A. KNIGHTEN (m. Wesley
GIBSON)
3 George Wright KNIGHTEN (b. 9 Apr 1852
m. #2 Emily JACKSON 7 Feb 1856 Benton Co., AL
(see marriage certificate transcription)
m. #3 Julia Ann POLLARD B. 20 Mar 1838 D. 6 Aug 1899
m. 26 Aug 1857 in Cleburne Co., AL
(see marraige certificate transcription)
(see Pollard 1.1.4.10 Julia Ann POLLARD)
vi.
If John L.C. Lorren was born (according to family) betw 1848/1850, he would
have
married Julia Pollard Knighten when he was 15/17 respectively...at that
age we would
have to assume that he married an unknown person and had the three children
as
written above; but, even having 3 children back to back, have unknown wife
#1 die,
and turn around and marry Julia would mean John L.C. would have had to
marry this
unknown first wife at abt. 10 or 12 yrs. old....ON THE OTHER HAND, if John
L.C. was
born in 1840 as LDS records state, then John L.C. would have been abt.
23 years
old when he married Julia Pollard Knighten...and this would be enough time
to
marry and sire 3 to 5 children by an unknown first wife.
So, if the LDS records are accurate to birth for John L.C. then it is possible that:
1.
John LC was born in 1840, married unknown, had four children,
and then married Julia at 23 and it would be plausibe that J.B. Lorren
married *half* sister Jerri...Information backing this would be JB (living)'s
family record as related above, LDS birth record for John L.C. as 1840,
and to include the fact that we have not found any known descendents
for the James living with George A. in 1910 census, but we do have children
for Jerri and JB...so

Note 2:
Mildred
Perry was kind enough to write me to relate the following information,
"There were two Lula Lorrens, one born in 1898 and one born in 1903.
The 1898 Lula Lorren is the one who was the daughter of James Breckenridge
Lorren who married Jerri Eveleton Knighten. This Lula Lorren married
my mother's brother, Monroe Thomason...and they had two children, Gladys
Thomason Green and Joseph Robert Thomason. Monroe and Lula lived
at Esom Hill and after his tragic death at age 34, Lula lived in Cedartown
until she married a Mr. Hindmon. Following WWII, Joseph Robert Thomason
moved to Puxico, Missouri and lived there until his death. Gladys Green
lived in Cedartown, and Macon, Georgia where she died....Monroe's death
was self-inflicted when he was drunk and playing with guns, which was one
of his favorite pasttimes. He was laughing and jesting, and placed
a pistol in each ear while looking in a mirror, and the coroner's report
says the guns went off accidentally. I feel sure Monroe did not mean
to kill himself. To tell a very sad aspect of his death, my Mother,
his sister, always felt that his wife, Lula, killed him. Monroe was
a sadistic, violent ignoramous and probably, as much as I hate to say it,
got what he deserved. He was brutal to his wife and children and
my mother. His death was no great loss, sad to relate. Becky,
I am sorry to regale you with such a sorry tale...."

Scott HOPPER (great grandson of Lillie Mae Lorren 1.1.5.1.8) contacted me May 27, 2002 and has graciously
agreed to share his family information and research. Jeff can be emailed at: venusring@earthlink.net.
He wrote: "Lillie Mae Lorren was my great grandmother. I spent a great
deal of my childhood at her house. She told me many things about her family. First of
all, I would like to provide info on her husband. His name was James Avery Alfred WADDELL....Her
maternal grandmother lived with her family and died while she was still a child.
She named her Lillie Mae and always called her "'Sweet Lillie Mae"'....Her
maternal grandfather was killed in the war between the states. She
said that "'the Yankees had stuffed a logging-chain
into a cannon and fired it striking her grandfather at the knees amputating
both legs. He lived long enough to write his wife a letter."'
Her brother, Tommie, went out west and was murdered. He was hit on
the head." Then in another email Jeff wrote: "My great-grandmother,
Lillie Mae Lorren, was the daughter of James "Jim" Breckinridge Lorren
and Jerry Ann "Annie" Knighten. Her children were James E.J. WADDELL,
my grandfather, and Avery R.C. WADDELL. My grandfather passed away,
but R.C. is still living....sorry to say she never mentioned
her Lorren grandparents (that I recall). She had told me that her
father (Jim) worked as a blacksmith at times...."
Note 4:
According to Payne Daniel, "William Aaron Lorren was an elder in the
church of Christ and a schoolteacher. His granddaughter, Janet Noah, states
her grandfather was born on September 1, 1870 and died April 22, 1947.
He married Cathren Abney who was born on December 29, 1875 and died April
28, 1956. There were eleven children all of whom had children except
Virgil who died at the age of 2 or 3 years. Janet's grandfather told her
that his grandfather or great-grandfather was French and married a Cherokee
Indian Girl. He told her that his family moved to Alabama from Missouri
in a covered wagon when he was nine months old, to escape a typhoid outbreak.
(While the movement from MO to AL is doubtless true, the French connection
is probably a myth). Toni Carolyn/Baswell/Tierce says that
her grandmother was part Native American perhaps a Cherokee. They settled
in Borden Springs, Ala. When he was a young man he and his father
built a one room school/church near Borden Springs, Alabama and he taught
school during the week and preached on Sundays. From Janet: "Granddaddy
Lorren performed weddings during his preaching days. At that time,
the State of Alabama required marriage licenses but Georgia did not.
Since Borden Springs was about four miles from the Georgia line, many couples
would pick up Granddaddy and drive across the state line. They would
get out of the car and he would marry them in the middle of the road.
Uncle Newton Lorren and Aunt Ruby were probably married in this way."
