There are many documented variations of this unusual name, including Lorancy, Lorencia, Lorensia, Lorensa, Lorenda, Lorenca, and Laurenza. No two death certificates or marriage licenses filled out by or for her children are the same. In The History of Tioga County (Swedesborg 1897, 796), it is also "Lorensa" but with the middle initial A added. However, in the documents recorded prior to her death that she would have filled out herself, such as the 1850 & 1860 censuses and Emma's birth registration, her name is consistently spelled "Lorency." John Woolf Jordan, LL. D., Librarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, also spells her name "Lorency" in volume 2 of Genealogical and Personal History of Northern Pennsylvania (1913, 559). In the absence of official documentation of her birth, marriage, or death at the time of this writing, it appears "Lorency" is the most-used and likely correct spelling of her name.
