Hi Gordon Good luck in trying to sort out all these LAWRENCE's There are many conflicting genealogies around and a lot of them contain false information. We have been trying to track down John Lawrence of 'Long Island' who married Anna Edsal in New Jersey. He "might" have been a son of a WIlliam Lawrence but finding out which one is proving to be very arduous.
