I found the names of his parents almost unreadable and wasn't sure if I was reading more into the record then was there, so asked one of the Liberians at the archives to read the names and she said without any hesitation or prompting from me-- Aaron A. Lawrence and Margaret Stevens.

wife, Mary Willson

Parents: David Willson and Mary Willson. Not sure if Willson was her mother's maiden name or they didn't know the maiden name. Before finding out this info. I looked for Willson's who could be Mary's parents in the Andover Cem., but what I found were mostly interments for Mary's generation
and not earlier.
