James LAWRENCE (1769-1843) to John LAWRENCE (1839-1912) James LAWRENCE (1769-1843) Birth: 1769 (or 1768) Death: June 3, 1843 - Denny, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: ? Mother: ? Spouse: Jean McLEISH (1769-1831) b. 1769 (or 1768) d. August 10, 1831 - Denny, Stirlingshire, Scotland Children: John LAWRENCE (1801-1845) b. 1801 d. March 5, 1845 * James LAWRENCE (1805-1867) (Twin of Margaret LAWRENCE) Margaret LAWRENCE (1805-1841) (Twin of James LAWRENCE) b. March 27, 1805 d. February 19, 1841Note The indication that this line is linked to James LAWRENCE (1769-1843) and Jean McLEISH (1769-1831) is a logical assumption based upon old family records that did not make the relationships completely clear. There were a number of male family members named James and John and a number of female family members named Jean who appear to sometimes have been called Jane. If and when further research makes everything clearer this line will be adjusted accordingly. -------------------------------------------------------------- James LAWRENCE (1805-1867) Birth: March 27, 1805 - Denny, Stirlingshire, Scotland Death: February 20, 1867 - New Brunswick, New Jersey Father: James LAWRENCE (1769-1843) Mother: Jean McLEISH (1769-1831) Spouse: Jean JOHNSTON (1810-1872) b.
