William and Elizabeth Lawes were married in Jefferson County, Kentucky in 1827 though the 1850 census offers they married that year. It is noteworthy to mention that the census taker actually claims the same marriage status of nearly every head of household listed on this page. When Williams' daughter Mary E. passes away in 1920 the informant on her death certificate offers that Mary's father is William Waller Lawes born in Maryland. Mary E. Lawes never marries and appears to remain in the household with her father until his death.

This record offers that William W. Lawes and daughter Mary E. are living in the household with a John Hale. John Hale is listed as a Master Builder but gives no dollar figure of the value of the real estate he owns. The enumerator then lists several other household members before he offers the details of William W. and at that time a value of real estate is offered of $10,000.
Note:
The 1861 Corins Louisville City Directory offers that William Lawes was a City Measurer and lived at 335 1/2 3rd Street between Walnut and Chestnut.
The 1871 Corins Louisville City Directory lists Josiah B Lawes also a resident of 3rd Street.
The 1873 Corins Louisville City Directory offers that William W. Lawes was an Inspector of Carpenter Work and lived at 224 Third Street Opposite of Guthrie Street.
The 1876 Corins Louisville City Directory offers that William W. Lawes was a City Inspector and lived at 224 Third Street near Chestnut. William W. Lawes passed away on March 7, 1876.
Note: Each Directory listed here also offers that Mary E. Lawes lived at this address and that her occupation was teaching or teacher.
The death record of William W. Lawes offers he was born in Maryland, was a widow at the time of his death, his residence was in the 7th Ward at 224 Third Street Louisville, Kentucky, and he was buried in The Western Cemetery.
On May 9, 1885 the remains of William W. Lawes were exhumed and re-interred at the Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky along with his wife Elizabeth Mary Ann Lawes and other family members who had passed away years before. Members of the Tennehill family were also buried there. Their relationship to the Lawes family is unproven. In 1920 Mary E. Lawes was last to be laid to rest in Section 621 at the Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky.
Each grave remains unmarked in this small section of 8 graves that Mary Lawes had acquired nearly 40 years before she passed away, her reason to move her loved ones so many years after their deaths we can only imagine....her wishes most likely to have the ones she loved together for eternity.
