Lorenzo was born in Kentucky, the next to youngest of five children. The only sibling that I've been able to identify by name is Bayless (alternately spelled Bayles and Bales). He moved to Missouri, where he spent the majority of his life, sometime before 1828 when there is record of a land deal. He married Cecil Cernan Gist on July 14, 1831 in what would eventually become the location of the Stony Point Presbyterian Church. He was the judge of Clinton County for many years and is considered one of the early settlers of the county.

He and Cecil were married in an old log church by the Rev John Elliott, Cumberland Presbyterian Minister. The church (a log house) was erected on Lorenzo's farm between 1837 and 1840 and then named Stony Point. The land that it stands on was donated by Lorenzo for the old Stony Point Presbyterian Church in 1874. In 1877, he gave another 100 feet square of land for the Stony Point Cemetery. His tombstone is located in roughly the middle of the cemetery. The reverse side of the tombstone is more readable, and is definitely that of his wife Cecil Cernan (Gist) Froman.

They had 10 children, which are linked to this memorial.
