Elizabeth (St. Clair) Lawrence-Dill died 16 January 1825 at age 62. She was survived by her husband, three sons, and one daughter. Dearborn County Obituaries: 1820-1850 by Chris McHenry... Per obituaries published in The Spectator Jan 22, 1825 & Indiana Palladium Jan 21, 1825. On file at Lawrenceburg Public Library. As a side note, because it is noted on this profile, the 1820 census record in Caesar Creek Twp. Dearborn Co. being attributed to Elizabeth Lawrence is a family of free blacks...not a single white soul in it. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GYYR-BY?i=2&cc=1803955 This Elizabeth Lawrence family was again enumerated in 1840 in Wilmington Twp...10-15 miles away from their former residence. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GYBM-93QF?i=4&cc=1786457
