Henry and Lawrence are both fairly common names. That said, I see no association between the Henry Lawrence of your interest, and the Henry Lawrence starting this thread. This Henry Lawrence is closely tied for most, if not all, of his adult life in Virginia or other Southern areas. The details of your search has no Virginia association and clearly not the same person.

I've been looking for "my Henry Lawrence for a long time. Please look at what I have and see if anything clicks. Thank you.
Kathy Zinck Lawrence

Henry Lawrence / Laurence was born 1752 in Malden, England or Malden, USA.

He was an apprenticed brick layer before joining the British Navy Regiment # 54.

Henry came to Canada from the United States or England.

He had two brothers and possibly more siblings.

BROTHER #1 James Lawrence / Laurence settled in Cherryfield, Maine.

BROTHER #2 Jonathan or John Lawrence / Laurence was in Watertown, Mass, then Cherryfield or Eastport, Mass. Before going to NY State and then on to Nova Scotia. He had property on “The Windsor Rd” which is now Mt. Uniacke, Nova Scotia. John had a son John.

While Henry was in the Navy, he arrived in Halifax in the early 1750s, which of course puts his date of birth in question. He first served during the 1760s building a power magizine and a bomb proof to protect the soldiers. Having been a brick layer, his skill was valuable to the 54Th Regiment. Henry from there went to the Island of Martinique, then to Guadeloupe, then to Ireland, then to Quebec and Fort Cumberland or Fort Lawrence as a soldier. Henry was discharged in 1772.

In 1780 he married Judith Watson of the old Watson Family of Fort Lawrence. Parsons Eggleson being the Clergyman. Judith was born in 1763 and died in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1833. She was from Tracadie, Antongonish County, Nova Scotia.

Henry and Judith had a daughter Margaret at Fort Cumberland. They moved to Eastport, Maine which was very close to Cherryfield. Their second child,a son whom they named Frances was born there and possibly a third child.

They then came to Nova Scotia and purchased lot# 57 in Falmouth in April 9th, 1807 from Gould Northup. In their elderly years they moved to Windsor, Nova Scotia and lived until their death.

I have the following people but do not know where or how they tie into Henry's family, if at all. Does anyone have information about these?
-William Lawrence in 1770 at Sackville, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick my information doesn't say.
-William Lawrence in 1800 at Sackville, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick my information doesn't say.
-Elisha Lawrence in 1785 – 1793 in Kings County, Nova Scotia. I think this fellow went to Parrsboro, Nova Scotia.

jade901 — 2009-10-19 19:37:45Z

Hi Alan

I have not had much time the last few years to research, so am just getting back into it. My line goes back to William Lawrence born around 1800 in Baydon & wife Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) also born 1800, in Aldebourne. I have them with 3 sons and a daughter. Daughter, Mary Ann (b1832), married John Berrett around 1852.

Does any of this match?

Re: Lawrence Wiltshire England

ajl96 — 2009-10-19 15:19:31Z

I believe I have connections into this line of Lawrence's and would love to compare trees with anyone who has info. I have managed to find links back to a Benjamin Lawrence born 1560 from the Lawrence's of Baydon, Aldbourne & Marlborough

Thanks

Lawrence in Cornwall and Hampshire and Guernsey, England

tnpryors — 2009-10-12 12:31:29Z

Looking for parents and wife's name for James William Lawrence born 1817 in Guernsey, Channel Islands, England. He was a master mariner so not sure if his father was also a mariner and therefore Guernsey was just a port.

I found James William Lawrence only on one census: 1861 aboad the ship HMS Ranger in Dorset. His wife "Jane" was counted on the 1841 Census in St. Austell, Cornwall, 1861-1881 in Hampshire. She was always counted as the wife of a mariner, although he wasn't in the household. I haven't found a marriage record.

Sophia Lawrence born 1838 is the oldest child. She was born in St. Austell. I can't find her christening record or her birth record, although I can find her on 7 census.

His youngest son, Joseph Lawrence b. 1850, was born in St. Austell, Cornwall, He is on the 1861 census with his father, listed as the son of the ship's master.

So I'm pretty sure that the family was in St. Austell 1838 to 1850.

I got the death record of James William Lawrence from the GRO. It's not very helpful in tracing his line. He died 19 Feb 1879 at home: Bath Road, Lymington, Hampshire. States he age as 62. States occupation as Master Seaman Coasting Service.

Mystery - Jo Lewis Lawrence or Haulum

shawnsmallwood75 — 2009-10-06 18:08:48Z

I am looking for info on my maternal gmothers family.
The story I have always been told is that she was born in Cooter, MO in 1923. I knew her name to be Jo Lewis Lawrence. Her mother's name was Georgia. Her stepfather was Thomas Parker.
Jo married Ralph Henry Haulum in 1946. They lived in Memphis, TN and had five children (Frances, Lydia, Julia, Paul, and Mary Ellen "Melie")
I cannot find any records at all on Jo or Georgia. I don't know if this is just poor record keeping, or some huge family secret.
Jo passed away in 1980. Georgia passed away in 1988. By the time I was old enough to ask questions, my grandfather wouldn't talk about it.
If anyone has any info I would be grateful.

thank you

Hi Anne,

I know it's been quite a while since you posted, but I'm new at this since I only found out I'm related last year. Pattie and John have divorced and I'm scrambling to get a complete tree together. I am John Jr.'s first cousin, his mother, Jacqueline is my aunt, my birth mother's half-sister. I was adopted at birth and we just found each other last year.

Love to speak with you, especially since I'm an amateur "anglophile" .... who knew?? Jo Ann Merrill (nee Susan Margarite Worthen, granddaughter of Angelina Margarite Chavez Worthe Lawrence)

Re: Derby Lawrence.

jmerrill1946 — 2009-08-07 03:29:55Z

Hi Anne,

I'm continuing from Patti Lawrence. Patti and John have divorced and he has remarried. I came into the picture last year when their found ME. I was adopted at birth and have been looking for my birth family for 40 years. And they were looking for me. I was already a genealogy addict, so now that I have a family, I am scrambling to complete a tree. John Jr. is my first cousin and his mother, Jacqueline, daughter of Derby Grundy "Jack" Lawrence is my aunt, my birth mother's half-sister. So whatever you can send will be great. Great meeting you. Jo Ann Merrill (nee Susan Margarite Worthen, granddaughter of Angelina Margarite Chavez Worthen Lawrence).

Re: Hertfordshire Lawrences

cekdorsey — 2009-08-28 00:06:26Z

Two sources of information for the descendents of William Lawrence from the ship Planter are:

1. American Genealogy, being a History of some of the Early Settlers of North America and Their Descendents" by Jerome B. Holgate, A.M. 1848. Pages 201 to 224

2."Historical Genealogy of the Lawrence Family" by Thomas Lawrence, 1858. Pages 23 to 71.

I created an Excel spreadsheet from these two sources which lists the names of all of his descendents. I can provide a copy if you want one. I also have copies of both sources.

Re: W. L. Lawrence

Marilynn,

I believe I have made a few breakthrough's on our Lawrence's.

I am descended through William Leonard's brother: John Wesley Lawrence and Mary W. Hill [aka Kirkendall or Kuykendahl].

I found what I believe to be their family in Clear Creek, Hot Spring Arkansas in 1850.

John A Lawrence 33 (1817 Georgia)
Mary Lawrence 32 (1818 North Carolina)
Elvira Lawrence 14 (1836 Alabama)
John Lawrence 13 (1837 Alabama)
William Lawrence 11 (1839 Alabama)
James Lawrence 9 (1841 Georgia)

I believe that William Leonard's father was NOT a William Leonard Lawrence, Sr. - But, John Allen Lawrence, wife Mary.

I believe they are the same Lawrence's in Williamson Co., Texas in 1880. Precinct 7, page 20 at Ancestry.com

Lawrence Jno A 66 farmer Georgia Georgia Georgia
