    Notes 
    • "Genealogy of Wilkinson and Kindred Families" shows his only marriage to Fannie Wilkinson.  The author was apparently unaware of his first marriage to Ollie Thompson, my grandmother, and mother of Thomas Lawrence's 4 children of whom my father was the youngest.  He was killed in a tornado in 1935 in Gloster, MS and is buried in Roselawn, Cemetery, Gloster, MS.
