Their children 12 yo Walter, 7 yo Lula A, 5 yo Harry A, 3 yo Joseph L, and 1 yo Herbert R Lawrence were listed as living with them. This is the only William Lawrence in Jackson County in this census.8
Census1910*	William appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Bird Twp., Jackson Co., Arkansas, enumerated 23 April 1910, as 45 yo W S & 43 yo M J Lawrence. Their children 15 yo Harry, 13 yo Herbert, 11 yo Mabel, 9 yo Eva, 5 yo Clarence, and 2 yo Hattie Lawrence were listed as living with them.9
Marriage*	His second marriage was to Jessie Allen between 1912 and 1914. Date based on Shelby being with Mary Jane in the 1900 census and with Jessie in 1920. Son Allan is 5.9 yo in 1920 suggesting a marriage on or before 1914. William's first wife Mary Jane died in 1912. My preliminary research suggests their children were Allen (c1914- ), Crawford (c1916- ), Ruth (1919-2004, m. Woodrow Pilcher), and Robert Lawrence (c1925- ).10,8
Census1920*	William and Jessie appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Tuckerman, Jackson Co., Arkansas, enumerated 29 January 1920, as 53 yo William S & 33 yo Jessie Lawrence. Their children 24 yo Harry A, 21 yo Herbert R, 19 yo Mabel, 16 yo Eva, 14 yo Clarence, 12 yo Hattie, 5.9 yo Allen, 3.2 yo Crawford, 0.2 yo Ruth, 15 yo step-daughter Chloa McGee, and 13 yo step-daughter Constance McGee were listed as living with them. Harry through Hattie are children of Shelby's first marriage, Allen through Ruth were Shelby & Jessie's, the last two with surname McGee are presumably children of Jessie's m1 to M V McGhee.11,12
Death*	William died on 16 November 1927 at age 62.2
Burial*	He was buried at Gracelawn Cemetery in Tuckerman, Jackson Co., Arkansas. Headstone photo available at Find A Grave.2

Census1900*	Albert and Sarah appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Jefferson Twp., Jackson Co., Arkansas, enumerated 23 June 1900, as 27 yo Albert S & 25 yo Sarah F Lawrence. Their 6 yo daughter Lizie L Lawrence was listed as living with them.3

Marriage*	Her second marriage was to James G. Wescott on 3 April 1900 at North Vernon, Jennings Co., Indiana. There are two entries for this marriage in IN Marriages. Date & location is the same but minor differences in other fields. This is noted as Melissa's 2nd marriage.9,10,4
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 30 August 2019 re something odd. Melissa married Wescott in April 1900 yet in the June 1900 census she's living with her son and his wife. Wescott didn't die until 1923. Perhaps he was away on business. Melissa passed away three years later so perhaps she was in need of more care than living alone offered. One more strange thing - Melissa has two Find A Grave memorials. At least they're in agreement on the major dates and places! Memoriial nos. 200325245 and 6402152.1
Census1900	Melissa appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Center Twp., Jennings Co., Indiana, as 59 yo widowed mother Melissa J Busby in the household of John C. Busby and Sophia Lnu; as 38 yo coal merchant John C & 452 yo wife Sophia Busby.11
