Eleazer Lawrence

1674 - 1754  (80 years)

• Name	Eleazer Lawrence
  Born	28 Feb 1673/74	Groton, Middlesex, Massachusetts   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Died	09 Jul 1754	Pepperrell, Middlesex, Massachusetts   [2]
  Notes	He owned 123 acres of land in the NW part of Littleton, conveyed by deed from Capt. Joseph Bulkley of Concord, Capt Jonathan Prescott, a Isaac Powers, a committee of Littleton proprietors on 1 Apr 1717. In 1728, he purchased of Robert Robbins all of the latter's real estate in Littleton. Twenty years later, he conveyed to his son, David, the homestead, with 130 acres of land, of which the NW boundary was "Groton old line," These extracts seem to prove that the homestead just described is the same at the place in Littleton known as the "old Lawrence Farm" which originally extended northerly as far as Forge Pond. His father Peleg's lands near Forge and Spectacle Ponds were all around the old house which was still standing when Sketches of the Lawrence Family was written about 1887. It is not improbable that Peleg built the old house for his son, Eleazer. He was the second son of Peleg. His will was dated 29 Dec 1749, and was probated 13 Jan 1755. His wife and son, David, were appointed executors. The document bears the signature "Elaza Lawrance." [Sketches of the Lawrence Family]
