Lawrence Raeburn Paulson

Not yet confirmed — probable matches and family lore, shown for research. Treat with caution.

• •

  Lawrence's paternal grandparents are recorded as Raeburn Iver Paulson and Esther Eunice Bills; Raeburn Iver Paulson is the likely source of the 'Raeburn' middle name carried by Lawrence Raeburn Paulson (compare collateral relative Clifford Raeburn Paulson, b. 8 Aug 1922). unconfirmed

  · Downgraded from 'likely': the grandparent link is documented on the source, but the carry-through of 'Raeburn' specifically to Lawrence is an inference from the shared family page and naming pattern, not a record of Lawrence. Single source, single anchor. genealogy ↗

• ⚱

  Donald Howard Paulson (the father) was buried at Bellville Cemetery, Bellville, Richland Co., Ohio, indicating the Mansfield/Bellville, Ohio area as a family locus. likely

  · Bellville Cemetery, Bellville, Richland Co., Ohio, USA · Downgraded from 'confirmed': single source, single anchor (burial place), and concerns the father, not the living subject. Burial is not in the known facts, so it is family context rather than corroboration of Lawrence. genealogy ↗

high source independence: report “Three findings each presented with their own confidence” vs. found “All three findings cite the same single page (p2201.htm). They are not independent sources, so the 'multiple anchors' that survive (father birth + death) come from one document. Findings about the grandparents/middle-name and the burial were downgraded accordingly.”. Only the father's birth-year-and-death-year double match (within that one page, both matching the known father string) was treated as confirmation.

high mother: report “Mary Catherine Dafoe (b. 1932) listed as mother in summary” vs. found “No finding confirms the mother against the source; the source corroboration is entirely on the paternal line. The mother remains an unverified known-fact, not independently corroborated.”.

high subject record: report “Dossier titled as a researched record of Lawrence Raeburn Paulson” vs. found “No record specific to Lawrence himself (his own person page, a vital record, birthplace, spouse, or children) was ever read. His individual page on the cited site did not load, and the domain did not resolve when re-checked in this audit (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED). The dossier corroborates his FAMILY, not him directly.”.
