The names and death dates below were taken from Lawrence County Chancery and County Court petitions housed at the Lawrence County Archives. Some documents tell an approximate birth date or age, county where died if other than Lawrence and a few give wife's name or marriage date  Some of the entries below have exact death dates listed in the cemetery records, provided there is a marked stone.  For others, this is the only record of when or where the person died.  This list is not complete.  I tried to write down all the names and dates while indexing the cases, but am sure there are some that I missed.
