- William Lawrence (Ohio 17th district)
William Lawrence (September 2, 1814-September 8, 1895) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from the 17th District of Ohio. Lawrence was born in Washington, Guernsey County, Ohio. He was graduated from Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania in 1835.
After farming for a few years, Lawrence was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1843. He was a delegate to the Ohio State constitutional convention in 1851. From 1856-1857, he served in the Ohio Senate.
On March 4, 1857, William Lawrence (D) was inaugurated as the Representative from the 17th Congressional District of Ohio to the 35th U.S. Congress. Lawrence served only in this Congress, as he was elected only to one term in office. Upon leaving Congress, Lawrence served again in the Ohio Senate (in 1867, 1885, and 1886). He also served as president of the board of directors of the Ohio Penitentiary.
William Lawrence died in Old Washington, Ohio on September 8, 1895, and is interred at the Washington Cemetery.
