Fannie Matilda Miller (1826 – 1910), FGA #15034341
Francis Marion "Frank" Lawrence (1835 – 1923)
James married Elizabeth Damewood in Robertson county Tennessee. They moved to Jackson County Missouri circa. 1831 – 1833 and moved to Cass County Missouri soon thereafter. He removed to Vernon County Missouri just before 1858 and died just ten months before the infamous night time raid of 20 Dec 1858 by John Brown and his cohorts. The estate of James Lawrence and the home of James' son-in-law, Harvey Hicklin, who was living on the farm, were among the farmsteads raided.
James Lawrence was a slave owner. One slave, in particular, that he owned went by the name of Jim Daniels. Jim Daniels was concerned because James Lawrence was getting ready to sell him and his family. So Jim Daniels turned to Captain John Brown. This got the ball rolling for the border wars of Missouri and Kansas, between the abolitionists and pro-slavers.
