W., as follows:
     "Of course I cannot tell so very much for I was separated from my immediate family when less than four years of age. My sister, Mary, was the oldest girl when mother died, about sixteen years old, and she took care of us all for about six or eight months then father took Henrietta and George Washington down to Saratoga County and gave us out to different aunts and uncles who raised us. We were not widely separated so knew each other better than we did the rest.
     "When your father, Stella (her daughter) and myself went from Saratoga to Kansas we stopped in Fairport N.Y. and visited Mary and Phebe who were married and settled there, living in the same house, a double one. We were there two weeks, (Stella having fallen sick on the way there) so became pretty well acquainted. Mary's husband was a Scotchman and worked on the railroad, a trackman. She married when about 40 years old I think. He seemed very proud of her and made a very kind husband but died not very long after we were there. Sister Phebe and her husband, Alanthon Pepper, have both died since, leaving their daughter, Alice, all alone since her father's sister and mother's sister both died in Jan. last."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 born on 25 Dec 1720. He married Mary Clark 13 Apr 1743. He died at North East, Dutchess County, NY, 30 Nov 1803. He had seven daughters and six sons. (Uriah Lawrence's family bible, in the possession of A.E. Reed, Mansfield, CT.)
     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

     URIAH LAWRENCE was a posthumous son of William and Sarah Whittemore Lawrence, and was born 25 Dec 1720. He married Mary Clark 15 April 1743.

     Jonathan, born 31 Mar 1751, died 15 Sep 1798.
     Phebe (2), born 28 Jun 1753, married Dr. John Bull, died 9 Dec 1788.
     Sarah, born 14 Nov 1755, married John Wright, was living in 1800.
     Elizabeth, born 21 Oct 1758, married Isaac Hill, died 20 Jan 1810.
     Olive, born 12 Oct 1760, married ____ Smith, died 24 August 1812.
     Chauncey, born 31 Mar 1761, was living in 1800.
     Clark, born 16 Jan 1763, was living in 1800.
     Martin, born 13 Jan 1765, married Abigail Bryan, Dec 1783, died 12 Mar 1851.
     Lydia, born 2 Jul 1768, married Dr. John D. Bull, died 6 Jul 1813.
     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

Uriah Lawrence was born on 25 December 1720 at Providence, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.^1,3,4,5 He married Mary Clark on 13 April 1743 at probably Connecticut, USA.^1,5 Uriah Lawrence died on 30 November 1803 at North East, Dutchess, New York, USA, at age 82.

     According to Torrey (1966 or 1967) it was actually Mary Gates who married William Babcock on 9 Nov 1748 (Bailey's Connecticut Marriages identifies her as Mary Clark). Mary Gates was the daughter of Robert Gates and Mary Clark, b. on 28 Dec 1705 in Norwich, CT. The confusion probably results from the mother's maiden name.
     -- David M. Lawrence.

     She was born 15 Jan 1725/26. She married Uriah Lawrence 13 Apr 1743. (Uriah Lawrence's family bible, in the possession of A.E. Reed, Mansfield, CT.)
     [Note that the following sentence about Mary Clark being the daughter of Benjamin Clark has been disproven -- DML.]
     She was probably the daughter of Benjamin Clark of Preston, CT, b. 5 Dec 1725; in which case the date given in the family Bible may be a baptismal date, or an error. A son of Benjamin Clark, Perry Clark, was born 20 Jun 1723 and had a son, Ezra Clark, who was born in Plainfield, CT, in 1748, lived at Lisbon, CT, and went to North East, Dutchess County, NY, about the time of the Revolution. His farm was about four miles south of that of Uriah and Mary Clark Lawrence. He had 10 children, two of whom were named 'Olive' and 'Lydia;' names occurring amoung Uriah Lawrence's children are not otherwise accounted for. (Vital records of Preston, CT, Putnam's Magazine 7/135; Plainfield, CT, records; Records of Ezra Clark family furnished by Anna C. Gilman; Letters of Mrs. John W. Clark of Millerton, NY; P.H. Smith's History of Dutchess County, New York.)
     It must be said, however, that a Mary Clark married in Preston, CT, William Babcock of Coventry, CT, on 9 Nov 1748. This may have been the daughter of Benjamin.¹

     Her married name was Lawrence.
Mary Clark was born on 15 January 1725/26; She was born 15th January, 1725/6. She married Uriah Lawence 13th April, 1743.

[What follows has since been disproven -- DML]
She was probably the daughter, Mary, of Benjamin Clark, of Preston, Ct., born 5th December, 1725; in which case the date given in the family Bible may be a baptismal date, or an error. A son, (Perry) of Benjamin Clark, born 20th June, 1723, had a son, Ezra, who was born in Plainfield, Ct., in 1748, lived at Lisbon, Ct., and went to North East, N.Y., about the time of the Revolution. His farm was about four miles south of that of Uriah and Mary Clark Lawrence.^1,2 She married Uriah Lawrence, son of William Lawrence and Sarah Whittemore, on 13 April 1743 at probably Connecticut, USA.^1,2 Mary Clark died on 23 October 1804 at North East, Dutchess, New York, USA, at age 78.^1,2
