After reviewing the dates for Benjamin Lawrence below, I realized that they are incorrect.  
Our records show the following:
 
(*) = LIEUTENANT BENJAMIN LAWRENCE was born in 1747 in Virginia and died on 22 
April 1826 near Calhoun, SC.  After the war he married RACHEL WEEMS who was born 
in 1763 at a place unknown and died on 11 August 1848 near Calhoun, SC.
