Hi Vera...Looks like this Mary L. is his mother in law, her being the mother
of Mary E. (Speaks) Lawrence.

Could this Mary L be the Lula who has married Virgil Lawrence And her
daughter Mary E. married Virgil's son from a previous marriage , John
Lawrence?
Does that sound right??

1 Mary L. Bobbitt 1871 - *****
.. +J. T. Speaks 1871 - 1897
..... 2 Mary E. Speaks 1891 - *******
..... 2 Minnie J. Speaks 1893 - **
..... 2 Annie B. Speaks 1896 - **
*2nd Husband of Mary L. Bobbitt:
.. - (???) or Lawrence??

Later...Joyce
