Liz - I have a direct ancestor, John Lawrence who married an Ann Needham - dates unknown, but who had a son Peter Lawrence, born June 2, 1774, died Sept 18, 1885, and married 2 of his 3 wives in the Cane Creek MM. Any chance that my John is a descendant of your John? My John is the furthest back I have been able to go thus far.

I've been lurking for a while, but would like to post a question. On my father's mother's side, going quite far back, I have a Quaker ancestor named John Lawrence, born about 1643 in Lawne Creek Parish, James City County, Virginia, and died before Jan 1696 in Nansemond County, Virginia, Formed 1643 (Now City Of Suffolk). (This info is from the World Connect/Roots Web page _http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jmljr&id=I79545_ (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jmljr&id=I79545) , which was posted by a distant relative of mine, Jesse Lawrence. Does anyone have any other information on John Lawrence and his descendants? Many thanks!
