I. Article Text: December 21, 1844: A correspondent informs us of the death, on the 19th inst., at his residence, near Astoria, Long Island, of CAPTAIN JOHN LAWARENCE, in his 90th year, a soldier of the Revolution. Mr. Lawarence was an actor in xeveral of the most improtant military events in the war of Freeddom. At the termination of that great struggle he retired to his farm, on which he has ever since resided, living to see around him his children of the third and fourth generations. Until lately he had preserved his health and faculties and was a noble and venerable remmant of the men of '76. His death, which can hardly be called a result of disease, removes another of those to whose patriotism and valor we owe our present heritage of freedom. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

For the balance, the executors are to ascertain what fund will be sufficient to provide the usual outfit for removing them to Liberia or any other Free State or country in which they may elect to live. The will further provides that if any of the servants shall prefer to remain in Virginia, instead of accepting the foregoing provisions, they are permitted to select owners among the relatives of the decedent.
