Linda,
Here is the info I have on the Newton Scott Lawrence in our line:
He was the son of Elias Lawrence and Mary Rice. I believe he was born 1 Oct
1844 in Enosburgh, Franklin Co, VT and died in 1926 in Magnolia, Harrison
Co, IA. When he was a young man, he and his two brothers, Henry Munroe
Lawrence and Silas Rice Lawrence (as well as several of their Rice
relatives), left Vermont to travel westward into the wilderness, settling in
Magnolia, IA. He married Luella Norris (date unknown). She was born 1847
in Vermont and died 1905 in Magnolia, IA. They had 5 children: Harry (b.
abt 1870), Eveline (b. abt 1871), Gertrude (b. abt 1874), Fannie (b. abt
1876), and Ruth (b. 1779). He, Luella and the children are found in
Magnolia in the 1880 census (I haven't checked any other census years for
that family). He is listed as a Magnolia Township landowner in the
Harrision County, Iowa GenWeb Project. Newton and Luella, his brother
Silas, and his father Elias and 2nd wife Julia are buried in the Magnolia
Cemetery (gravestone records copied by W.P.A. Graves Registration Project
Harrison County, Iowa). I hope this information is helpful. Do you think
this might be your Newton? If you would like any more details, I can be
