I do not know at this time if the James Madison Lawrence and Clarissa Wood are a family connection? I did find in courthouse basement records Pike Co. mention of a Wood/Williams connection but all these papers where mixed up. I would certainly appreciated any information on this family if it is from my William Lawrence Julia Williams family?
