Richard, You and I have corresponded in the past re your Thomas Laurence, without resolving any connection between him and my Lawrences. I'm sure they are related by have no clue as to how. The information you related re my Thomas Lawrence (1753-1817) is information that I long ago drew from either our family resources of teased out of assorted documents and records in Rockland, Westchester, or Queens Counties in New York. But I'm left with many, many questions still. At least my Lawrence relations in the 18th and 17th centuries seemed to have used the names Thomas, John, Jonathan, and Samuel over and over again making for very confusing records. Just in my notes alone, I have 18 Thomases and similar numbers of Johns, Jonathans and Samuels. For some I have vital stats to distinguish them but for others I have little. None match your Thomas Laurence, husband of Eleanor Earle. So we're where be began some time ago. Good luck in your search. Kelvin Lawrence Kean
