La Death Records for Robert L Abbott died 11 May 1947 at 75 yrs in Calcasieu Parish
I have this person entered at Lawrence Chapel Cemetery. Your information is very similar, and Robert E. Lee Abbott's wife, Melissa Lawrence is buried at Lawrence Chapel. The Mayson and Abbott people are connected to Robert.
Robert Edward Lee Abbott, was named after Robert E. Lee (Gen.) who visited the Layne home in Williamson Co., TX. Melissa I. Lawrence was the daughter of William Laborn Lawrence, and she was the sister to Eva D. Lawrence who married the brother of Robert E. Lee Abbott. His brother was Samuel Randall Abbott.
Robert E. Lee Abbott was the son of William Augusta Abbott (not John Abbott). His mother was Nancy Jane Weems.
My great-grandfather, Silas, was the eldest son of William Augusta and Nancy Jane (Weems) Abbott.
For Robert's date of birth, I have 11-5-1872, Williamson Co., TX as place of birth (all the other children born there, except for Silas who was b. in AL or TN, and possibly brother, John Franklin Abbott b. 1865)since it was the end of the war, they probably didn't travel, but who knows...
Robert's wife, Melissa, died in 1903.
