Members of the Lawrence Family were among the founders of the Town of Springwater in Livingston County, NY. An Lawrence Family members were some of the towns first elected and appointed officials. Hi! My name is Joshua-Andrew Ward and my Great Grandfather Benjamin F. Ward married Emma Abigail Lawrence and I am also researching the Lawrence Family. My Home is in the town of Canadice, NY a scant five (5) miles from the town of Springwater and the sources I have out side of the Livingston County site on Rootsweb.com http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyliving/ prove to mostly be dead ends. The information on the Rootsweb site are informative and good reading, But I have not been able to find a connection. The names in your message DO NOT sound familiar, but that does not mean the are not in the town's early history, which can be found on the site. My past quearys to the town's historical society have gone unanswered. Good luck on your search. Sorry I could not help you any further.
