Dear rgclark I see your response to a query re Lawrences dating back to mid-1700's On the off chance you may have information re the descendants of Robert Lawrence of Sandnwich 1640-1709 the immgrant from Englans......Married Sarah Barlow or Mary Phillips...... I am descended through this line....but have run into a brick wall. and wonder, if perhaps you can help me. Robert 1640- whose son, Joshua 1678- married twice, one being Elizabeth Swift They had 8 children and Ebenezer 1708-1707 who married Sarah Hammond of Rochester, Mass Their son JOSEPH 1737 - 1799? was a Rev Soldier.... Married Susannah ________ and their son Levi born 1766 in Atholl, Mass along with Sarah ( my ancestor) who married James Pelton, Nathan, John and another daughter whose name we do not know. We cannot find Susannah's surname..... There was also a son Hammond born 1761 but Susannah may or may not have been his mother. And there could have been other children - but these are the ones known to us. If you have any information on Joseph and/or his descendants, I would be most grateful if you would contact me. I have tried for YEARS to find out who Susannah may have been.... Joseph & family moved to Vermont during Rev and Levi, Hammond, Nathan, and Sarah all came north to what was then called Upper Canada, now Southern Ontario. Very much looking forward to hearing from you.
