     He was a posthumous son of William Lawrence of Providence, RI, and his second wife, Sarah Whittemore Lawrence. (Records of Middlesex County, MA. Guardianship papers of Uriah Lawrence and the will of Sarah Whittemore Lawrence.)
     His uncle, Samuel Whittemore, was chosen by him as guardian on 12 Mar 1735/36 and gave bond of 1,000 pounds. In the bond he is stated to be the son of William Lawrence of Providence of Providence, RI, and in the order he is called the son of "Widow Sarah Lawrence," (record reads 'Widowsarah Lawrence'). The bond recites that he was then in his sixteenth year. (Records of Middlesex County, MA.)
     He purchased lot 73 in the 'Oblong,' containing five hundred acres of land for £1,000 on 22 Oct 1766. The land is on the east side of the town of North East, Dutchess County, NY. (Real estate records of Dutchess County, NY. Deed of Ebeneezer Hopkins to Uriah Lawrence, Liber 5, p. 60.)
     He was buried in the churchyard at Spencer's Corners, North East, NY. The tombstone of white marble was in good preservation in 1903 (and still in good preservation in 1990 -- D.M.L.). The inscription is "Memento mori. In memory of Uriah Lawrence, Esq., who died 30th November 1803 in the 83d year of his age."
     A couplet at the bottom of the stone has become undecipherable through age. His wife, his son Uriah, and an infant grandchild, daughter of David Lawrence, are buried by his side. In other parts of the cemetary are buried his son, Martin, and his daughters, Mary Hartley, Elizabeth Hill, Phoebe Bull, Lydia Bull, and his granddaughter, Mrs. Loraine Lawrence Jones.
     A part of his farm is occupied (in 1903) by a Dakin Family. No trace remains of his house.
     He signed the 'General Association' in June (July) 1775 and was on the committee to circulate it in his part of the precinct. (Huntting's History of Little Nine Partners; P.K. Smith's History of Dutchess County, New York.)
     His will is dated 16 Aug 1800. He gives £580 specifically and leaves the residue of his estate to his daughters, Mary, Sarah, Olive, and Lydia. Except for his son, Martin, all his living children, including David, are mentioned. (Will of Uriah Lawrence on record in Dutchess County, NY.)
     It is a family tradition that he went from Windsor, CT, to the Phillippse Patent, (Putnam County, NY) before settling at North East. (Letter of A.E. Reed, Mansfield, CT.).¹

FAMILY OF URIAH LAWRENCE
     In the will of Uriah Lawrence, dated 10 August 1800, legacies are given to sons David, Clark and Chauncey; to grandsons Merchant and Roswell Lawrence; to granddaughters, Rollens Brooks, Jand and Fannie Alley and Phebe Lawrence; to grandsons Uriah and Hiram Lawrence; to daughter Elizabeth and to two great-grandchildren 'of Phebe Skinner.' The residue of the estate was given to daughters Mary, Sarah, Olive and Lydia. His son, Martin, then living in North East, is not mentioned in the will (He probably recieved his inheritance earlier. In the Dutchess County records office in Poughkeepsie, NY, I noticed that some land was transferred from Uriah to Martin just prior to Uriah's death, but I did not read the deed in detail -- D.M.L.).
     I know nothing of above Merchant, Roswell and Phebe Lawrence, Uriah and Hiram Lawrence, Rollens Brooks and Fannie Alley.
     I know nothing of the descendants of Jonathan Lawrence, Elizabeth Lawrence Hill, Olive Lawrence Smith and Clark Lawrence. There was a Clarke Lawrence living at Tinmouth, Rutland County, VT, in 1790. There was in his family (including himself) two white males over 16 years of age and five females. I have always thought that Jonathan moved to Stillwater, NY, about the same time as his brother David, in 1790. A Jonathan Lawrence was buried a mile or so northwest of the village, but the tombstone is no longer extant.
     Sarah Lawrence Wright had a granddaughter, Mrs. Sally B. Dake, of Berea, OH.
     Chauncey Lawrence had a son, Horace, and left descendants in the neighborhood of Springfield and Yellow Springs, OH.
     The descendants of Mary Lawrence Hartwell are given in the printed genealogies of the Hartwell and Winchell families.
     Martin Lawrence had seven daughters and one son. Their first names began with 'L'. The descendants of Lydia and Laura are given in the Winchell book. Loraine married Horace Jones, and lived at Millerton, NY, near the old homestead. I think she had descendants there named Benedict. Lamira married a Reed and had a son, A. E. Reed, who now lives in Mansfield, CT, and has in his possession Uriah and Martin Lawrence's family Bible. Lorinda married Jesse Dunning and had one son and two daughters.
     Phebe Lawrence married Dr. John Bull. I give her descendants on another sheet.
     Lydia Lawrence married Dr. John D. Bull, your ancestor. Phebe Lawrence Bull and Lydia Lawrence Bull ar both buried in the cemetary at Spencer's Grove, near Millerton, NY.
     A family named Dakin lives on a portion of the old homestead. The location of the residence of Uriah Lawrence is pointed out, but the house is gone.¹

     Uriah Lawrence was at Charlestown, MA, in March 1735/6, when his uncle, Samuel Whittemore, was made his guardian. In 1766 he bought 500 acres of land, for 1000 pounds, in the Oblong. This land is now in the town of North East, Dutchess County, NY. He died 30 Nov 1803 and his wife died a little less than a year later. Both are buried at Spencer's Corners (North East), NY, and their tombstones were in excellent preservation in 1904. In the same cemetary lie buried their son, Uriah, and infant grandchild, Mary (daughter of David Lawrence), their son Martin, and their daughters Mary Hartwell, Elizabeth Hill, Phebe Bull, and their granddaughter, Mrs. Loraine Lawrence Jones.¹

Nearby is Blue Mound School No. 29, which their children George and Estella (and probably Howard Irvin), attended.

     William Lawrence was born before 1670 at Charlestown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.¹ William Lawrence was the son of John Lawrence and Susanna (?).¹ William Lawrence married Sarah Whittemore, daughter of Samuel Whittemore and Hannah Rice, after 1702 at Charlestown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA; Sarah Whittemore's first husband, David Lawrence, was still alive in 1702.¹ William Lawrence died on 24 May 1720 at Providence, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.²
          He was probably the son of John Lawrence and grandson of Henry Lawrence of Charlestown, MA. In 1717 he gave a paper which defended the title of real estate against the heirs of David Lawrence, his wife's first husband, and presumably his brother. David Lawrence was living in 1702. (Wyman's Genealogies and Estates of Charlestown, p. 606.)
     By a first marriage he had a son William, to whom he gave land in his will and for whom he did not provide a guardian. This marriage probably occurred before 1699 as the will was made in 1720. He married Sarah Whittemore, widow of David Lawrence, as his second wife and by her had three daughters, none of whom was of age when he died, and a posthumous son, Uriah. He made a will at Providence, RI, on 23 May 1720 and died on 24 May 1720. Nothing else appears of record at Providence; and nothing appears of the land he left, other that an arrangement made later by his widow. (Records of Providence, RI; Records of Middlesex County, MA.).^3,1,4,2
