AMY McCULLOH LAWRENCE
• "Amy McCulloh was born in Rowan County, N. C., and lived with her parents
until she.was grown. Then with one of her sisters, she came to Tennessee to live
with an uncle by the name of George, in Blount County (Tennessee). She lived with
her uncle about a year and becoming dissatisfied she went to Jefferson County,
Tennessee, and apprenticed herself to a tailor to learn to make men's apparel. This
was at Dandridge, Tennessee. Here she met my father (John Lawrence). This
acquaintanceship ripened into an intimacy which resulted in marriage."
"My mother, I always thought, was one of the best women in the world. She
was a business woman. Although her chances for an education in early life were
limited, she seemed to take great interest in Aesop's Fables. She was always
quoting from these fables to us children. She had early learned the sayings -.in
Poor Richard's Almanac and could readily quote them from memory. I have often
heard her quote these lines:
"For age and want, save while you may,
For no morning sun lasts the whole day."
Although having reared a family of seven children, and having cared for a
large family of negroes, she read several historical works and a number of books
of fiction, such as "Scottish Chiefs", "Thaddeus of Warsaw", "Children of the
Abbey", and other works of fiction popular
at that time. She read and thoroughly
aenjoyed
"Don Quixote". She enjoyed reading
the poetical works of Burns, Pope, and
Shakespeare, and she was a constant reader
of the Bible. My mother governed her
family more by moral suasion than with the
rod.
--
My parents taught their children that
it was not honest to take anything that
to another, such as fruit, melons,
nuts, etc. I have followed their
obelonged
teaching along that line and have found it
to be the best way."
Mocksville, NO
Page 2.
My mother was always careful about the health and the welfare of her children.
When I was to be gone all day on an errand
for my father, my mother would always
a
11

be the last to bid me goodbye with these words: "Son, be a good boy. My prayers
will be with you that no harm befall you and that you may get back home safe".
She was not only careful about the health of her own family, but she also visited
her neighbors in sickness or in distress. In this she greatly overdid her
strength and impaired her health. Although many times physically unable to
render service to the afflicted and needy, het she never failed to lend a helping
hand."
(The foregoing was taken from a biography of my father, George Washington
Lawrence, written by him in his seventy-ninth year).
(The following is taken from a biographical sketch prepared by my Uncle John
Lawrence in 1887.)
"James McCulloh, a native of England, came to America before the Revolution
and settled on the Yadkin River, in what was formerly Rowan County, N. C. He
was a descendant of the royal family of England, was a graduate of Oxford, and
was admitted to the bar, but never practiced. He was an informed man of his day,
and very wealthy, taking an active part in public affairs. As an excellent
surveyor, he assisted in establishing the boundaries of many counties in North
Carolina. He was very liberal and benevolent."
(My Uncle John Lawrence only refers to his mother as being a daughter of
James: McCulloh. No doubt he obtained the above information from his mother.)
Page 3.
My grandfather, John Lawrence, and my grandmother, Amy McCulloh were married
in Jefferson County, Tennessee on the day of Of this marriage,
seven children were born, as follows:
Mary Elizabeth,Amazon James, George Washington, Alzira, John and William
Wallace.
Mary Elizabeth Lawrence married Dr. Houston before the Civil War
(or War Between the States) and moved to Texas. Of this marriage, three
U► zty Public Ubrary
Mocks0le, NC
children were born: Homer Vergil, Samuel and Texana. I am informed that
Homer Vergil Houston and his brother Samuel are both dead. Samuel did not marry.
I think Homer married but I know nothing of his family. Texana married
Barnett and lived in the State of Kansas for several years. A few years ago,
she was living at Elgin, Oklahoma. I have not seen her since I was a small boy
about five years of age. She and her two brothers were living at my grandmother
Lawrence's home in Jefferson County (now Hamblen County), Tennessee in 1870.
Dr. Houston died and left my aunt Mary Elizabeth a widow. In a few years she
died and my father went to Texas in December 1860 and brought the Houston
children to Tennessee to live with their grandparents until they were grown. The
children then returned to Texas.
Amazon Lawrence never married. She lived in the home of her brother James
Lawrence until her death, which occurred in the '90's I think. She was a well
informed woman and very industrious.
James Lawrence was some forty -odd years of age when he married Mary Fudge.
His widow is still living, being about 82 years old. Of this marriage there were
four children, three girls and one boy, as follows: Stella, James and
Natalie. Stella, James and Natalie are living and all are married. The other
daughter, whose name I do not remember, died when she was just a few years of age.
Page 4
Stella Lawrence married .Peck in 1904 or 1905. She has a large of
children, twelve in number, I think. She lives at Jefferson City, Tennessee.
James Lawrence is married and lives at his father's old home in Grainger County,
Tenn. He gets his mail by Rural Route, Rutledge, Tennessee. His mother, Uncle
James' widow, lives with him. Natalie Lawrence married Hall and lives in
Johnson City, Tennessee. She has two or three children. I should have stated
that I do not know whom Cousin James Lawrence married. I am informed that he has
two or three children.

George Washington Lawrence, my father, married Mary A. Walker, nee Cote
December 2, 1860, near Sweetwater, Monroe County, Tennessee, and made that county
his home until after my mother's death. His last years were spent in my home at
this place. My mother died in 1898, and my father departed this life December 7,
1917, being nearly 88 years of age at the time of his death. There were five
children of us: Amy Ellen, Martha Alzira (known as Allie), William (myself),
