There are three profiles for this individual. THOMAS LAWRENCE, b. July 4, 1794, Goochland Co., VA in the Lawrence book. No middle name. I believe should be removed. Had brother William born after 1800, still searching for his date of birth. It is imperative to search first before creating new profiles. The failure to do so results in a lot of back checking and merging.

You are absolutely correct... As I started adding profiles for my Lawrence line I noticed there were MANY orphaned duplicates... I tried to adopt all the ones I came across with the hopes of untangling and figuring out more accurate information and merging where necessary. As you can clearly see, it has taken me awhile to get to every single one of them.

Also please refer to the tombstone photo found at his FAG link for full name (located on tombstone) as it is in fact William Thomas.

Lawrence-16902 and Lawrence-7185 appear to represent the same person because: Older profile far more complete. Same parents.
