My great grandmothers Father is listed on page 539 of The William Ward Genealogy as 'Edwin Cady LAWRENCE'. A member of this list suggested that he might be a son of Samuel LAWRENCE & Thankful CADY. But my research shows: ID: I4563 Name: Thankful CADY Sex: F Birth: 12 NOV 1734 in Pomfret Center, CT Death: 27 OCT 1807 in Norwich, CT Father: James CADY b: 1 APR 1679 in Watertown MA Mother: Thankful HOW b: 22 JUN 1691 Marriage 1 Samuel LAWRENCE b: 5 JAN 1738/39 Married: 27 NOV 1766 in Norwich, CT Children 1. Betty LAWRENCE 2. Lydia LAWRENCE 3. David LAWRENCE 4. Thankful LAWRENCE 5. Samuel LAWRENCE 6. Solomon LAWRENCE b: 14 SEP 1767 Contact: Caryn Johnson <[email protected]> The list of children clearly shows no Edwin. The 1850 census for the Town of Pembrook, Genesee County, New York shows: Lawrence, Benjamin 50 M Farmer NH Lawrence, Roancy 46 F NH Lawrence, Edwin L. 18 M Farm Laborer NY and the 1860 for the Town of Pembrook, Genesee County, New York shows: Lawrence, Benjamin 60 M Gentleman New Hampshire Lawrence, Nancy 57 F New Hampshire Lawrence, Edwin 29 M Farmer New York Lawrence, Abigail 21 F New York The record clearly shows that Edwin is the son of Benjamin & Roancy/Nancy and SINCE Abigail is NOT listed in the 1850, she is NOT a daughter, but the WIFE of Edwin. Roancy/Nancy's maiden name is GOWING. Could Abigail's be CADY. Could she and Edwin be 'Edwin Cady Lawrence,s' parents? Since both my great grandmother Emma Abigail LAWRENCE WARD(B:1871) and my grandfather Clarence Lawrence WARD(B:1891) were both born in the Town of Pembrook, Genesee County, New York, could the Edwin and Abigail Lawrence listed in the census record be 'Edwin Cady LAWRENCE's' parents. Can anyone out there shed some light on this for me or at least head me in the right direction. This is my Lawrence Family BRICK WALL.
