Hi Florence, Greetings from Toronto. I am very interested in your Robert. Where was he born please? I have taken my Lawrence ancestry back to a John Lawrence, baptized in Christian Malford, Wiltshire, England on December 30th., 1632. At the moment, I know of only two sons of this John L.: Thomas L. bp 1667 in Christian Malford George L. bp 1674 also in Christian Malford. If you and I establish a linkage, I, too, have a huge Lawrence Descendancy Chart, all starting from the above-mentioned John Lawrence, which I would be delighted to share with you. But, first things first. Let us check up on your Robert Lawrence. Best wishes. Peter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "florence patterson" <fpatter@golden.net> To: <LAWRENCE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 9:51 AM Subject: Re: [LAWRENCE] William LAWRENCE (1767 - 1834) of Hilmarton, Wilts, England > Hello Peter > > Re the Lawrence family > > Some of my ancestors were Lawrences > Robert Lawrence ( with supposedly 2 brothers) were sent, as soldiers by > his Britannic Majesty to Holland between the years 1664-1667.

Hello Peter My Lawrences began with the book Memorials of Robert Lawrence, Robert Bartlett & their descendants by Hiram Bartlett Lawrence 1888 pages 9 & 10 Each of the families of the above Robert, were large, and I have not attempted to follow them up only my direct descendants ( and there are enough of them) My branch went from Rochester, Mass to various other towns in Mass. then to Vermont and the Rev War - where, Joseph lawrence was a Green Mountain boy...... Joseph and at least 3 sons fought in the Rev War.....(for the American army, I do believe) although the Green Mountain boys were raiders! Following the war, some of the sons of Joseph came north to Canada ( and even though they were raiders,)three of them applied for and were granted 200 acres of prime farm land in Oxford/Brant Counties! And that is where my people came in.....one of the Lawrence girls married James Pelton and they too came north from Vermont, firstly to Chateaugay Co. in PQ - then westward to Oxford/Brant Counties.... Wouldn't be interesting if our families were connected!! The above, especially sons of Joseph, married 2 if not 3 times and son Levi had at least 22 children of his own plus a couple of wives brought with them children from their former marriage......amazing!
