Joseph Lawrence is listed in the 1850 census as Joseph L. Richardson, 29
yrs., carpenter, living in house #351. Next listed in this household is
Louisa, 27yrs., Felonize, 22yrs., Rosanna, 13yrs., Caroline, 11yrs.,
Joseph, Jr. 7 yrs., Lewis, 5yrs., & Washiington, 1yr. Equally bizzare is
that Elizabeth Hoffman is listed as Elizabeth Huffman, 34 but living two
doors down in the household of Louis Huffman, 45 yrs. with 6 kids, in
house #349. And next door in house #352 is Adam Huffman, 68 with Matilda
Huffman, 55 yrs.
Also there is an Adam Huffman, 24 yrs, a farmer, with Amelia, 24 yrs.,
Milly 4 yrs, & Louis 1 month, in Pineville
Explaination of the above from Norma SEEDER Rose 8 Apr 2000:
Hi Harold:
The 1850 census that showed Richardson instead of Lawrence was simply a
mistake. The census taker was the uncle of the gal who married Lafayette
Lawrence, and his name was Labat He was a lawyer, and a neighbor. I
figure
they got to gossiping about the Richardson's and he just wrote Joseph L.
Richardson instead of Lawrence. The Louisa was Lizzie, The Labats were a
stuffy bunch (I can talk about them since that was my gt. grandparents,
and
the Census taker was my gt gt grandfather's older brother. I think he
just
couldn't let himself write lizzie, why he didn't write the word Elizabeth
I
don't know. Elizabeth Hoffman Escoffie Lawrence was definitely older
than
Joseph, in fact she was 6 years older, or more, but in future census
records
she got younger and he got older. Bet she was giving the information!!
Felonize was her daughter by Escoffie, if you recall the other daughter
was
already married to Christian Baden. The Louis Hoffman, neighbors to the
Lawrences either Adam Hoffman's son or Louis Hoffman's son, I have
forgotten,
but the brother of Elizabeth Hoffman was born in 1804. Don't Let the
1850
Census confuse you, I'll get my book down and check it out, I have the
1850
Census. By the way Elizabeth Hoffman Escoffie had three daughters by
Escoffie, I found that in a Probate record. Felonise said my mother had three
children by my father (Escoffie) who is now deceased, meaning the other daughter.
I'll check this all out first chance I get and get it back to you, by the
way, Patricia Carol Boyles is hot on the trail of the Lawrences before
they
got into La.
