Although the clerk got the names mixed up. In Reality, it was Thomas Ashley (grandfather of Fred and Nathaniel) who was named guardian with Frederick Lawrence and his first cousin Asa Lawrence also signing. This is reflected in the actual signatures.Fred  became a "house carpenter" as indicated  on apprentice bonds 1780 & 1786.His first wife Judith  was daughter of Phillip Walston and his wife Charity Moore. Judith was sister in law of Joseph Kent & sister to Joseph's wife Rachel Walston.   It appears that  Judith was first married to a Fields as John Fields left a will in 1782 as he went into service leaving his estate to his brother Humphrey Lawrence and sister Mary Lawrence. This will was proved in Nov. Ct 1783 Bertie Co.Frederick Lawrence married 2nd in early 1790 Mary, the widow of Elisha Rhodes. Mary had died by 1 Jan 1801 when the final estate settlement of Elisha Rhodes amongst Elisha and Mary's three children.Fred Lawrence bought two of Burkitt's History of the Kehuchee Assoc in 1803.1810 census Frederick Lawrence is listed as 1 white male over 45, 8 other free persons, and 11 slaves.In 1813, Styling himself as Planter, Fred Lawrence  wrote a Deed of gift  naming his sons Humphrey Lawrence and Reuben Lawrence.Frederick Lawrence signed his will 9 June 1823 and it was proved Nov Term Bertie Ct. 1823.Children of Frederick Lawrence & Judith Walston: 1.

Judith Lawrence (his half-sister- child of Mary and Fred. Lawrence)This Elisha Rhodes family is included in "The Consul's Journey" by Gerald Galvin Larson. I find the book well written and informative; but I would note however, it is obvious to me that Mary widow of Elisha Rhodes and wife of Frederick Lawrence died in 1800. That Fred and Mary had one child Judith who entered into the division of her brother's estate; and that the Mary Lawrence found living next door to Fred Lawrence in 1820 was the widow of Abner Lawrence.US Census Bertie Co NC 1790 Frederick Lawrence M 2 under 16; 1 over 16; F 4; 3 other free; 13 slaves 1800 Frederick Lawrence M 1 10-16; 3 16-26; 1 over 45; F 2 0-10; 1 10-16; 1 26-45 0 other 3 slaves 1810 Frederick Lawrence M 1 over 45; 8 other 11 slavesApprentice Bonds Bertie County Feb 1780 John Sanderlain bound to Frederick Laurence, Carpenter 22 Aug 1786 Cezar Sanderlain bound to Frederick Lawrence, House Carpenter 16 Feb 1787 Patt Sanderlain til age of 18 spining, weaving, & sewing 1798 Elizabeth Ashe age 9 (John Sanderlin died leaving will in Bertie Co in 1838 with Reuben Lawrence Ex 2-548.)Estate Record, Bertie Co, NC, Elisha Rhodes.
