He and his family sailed from Southampton, England on 6 Apr 1635 in the brig "James", arriving at Boston on 3 Jun 1635. He was 32 and Sarah was 28. It is thought that they were of Welsh ancestry. They went to Dracut, MA after leaving Andover.
He came to America on the ship, James, with John May as Master. He and his family sailed from London 13 Jul 1635. He was a barber by trade and arrived in Ipswich in 1639. | Farnum, Ralph (I5441)
|
| 2705 |
He appeared at Salem as early as 1642. He may have been related to Thomas Edwards of Salem and to John Edwards of Ipswich. He was in Wenham in 1647 and received a grant of land there in 1653.
His age was 65 in 1680 as recorded in a controversy over the payemnt of taxes which was brought into acourt with two of his sons and some others.

He came to NE with his father's family, probably about 1642, lived at
Rowley for about 14 years, and settled in North Andover (now Andover
Centre) in 1655. He was a husbandman and tailor, very thrifty and
industrious, and for that day was financially well off, being according
to the tax list, one of the five wealthiest men in Andover. He was a
member of Sgt. James Osgood's Militia Co. in 1658 - 59, and had
previously been a member of Sgt. Steven's Co. He was made a freeman 19
May 1669 and was elected constable 3 Jun 1680, "for ye north end of ye
town for ye year ensuing."[maryabwhiteanc.ged]
This George was probably Hannah's father. He was born in England and lived in Rowley, MA for about fourteen years after coming to New England. He moved to Andover in 1655, living in that part which was later called North Andover, and now called Andover Center. He was a farmer and tailor and was well-to-do for the times, being very industrius and thrifty. There were only four men in the town who had higher taxes than him. In 1658-59 he was a member of Sgt James Osgood's militia company, and before that a member of Sgt Stevens' company. He was named freeman in 1669 and was constable in 1680. He held numerous other offices. For about thirty years he was in charge of the North meetin house at Andover, and received 30 shillings a year for ringing the church bell. The first grant of land which he received from the town consisted of two parcels of about four and six acres each, the first including a house and orchard. The first record of his land at Salem is 10 Jun 1662, for land which his son John inherited. The Andover committee assigned many other lots of land to him at various times, and there are many deeds on records made by him. He died intestate, and his property was divided between his widow and his ten children including Hannah and John. He is sometimes mixed up with another George Abbott who also lived in Andover at the same time. | Abbott, the tailor George (I6210)

He came to New England about 1630. It is probable that he was one of the large party under Gov. Wintrup, which sailed from England that year. About 1635 or earlier, he became a resident of Watertown. At about the age of 28, he was admitted a freeman on 17 Apr 1637. He was a carpenter by trade. His first land purchase was probably a lot on the east side of Fresh Pond. He also bought 35 acres from Isaac Cummins, which the latter had received in the earliest general land-grants in 1636, called the "Great Dividends." He also owned 15 acres of land at "Pequusset Common", later called "King's Common" in the northerly part of the township. On 28 Feb 1636/37, he received a grant of three acres of plough-land on the west side of Beaver Brook, with in the present borders of Waltham. From the Watertown lists of possessions in 1642, it seems that he then owned more than 150 acres. His homestead was "bounded on the E. by the highway; N by Timothy Hawkins and John Hammond [the latter a Lena STEARNS McEuen ancestor];W. by the meadow of John Biscoe; S. by land of John Flemming, deceased; widow Dix and her sonne; widow Bartlett, and said Biscoe." From comparisons to modern maps, it appears to the author of this genealogy [Historical Sketches of the Lawrence Family by Robt Lawrence, M.D. , pub 1888]
that the estate was situated in the present town of Belmont, on the W. side of Common St., 1/5 of a mile from its junction with Belmont St. John Lawrence was a member of the Grand Jury during the County Court session held a Cambridge beginning 1 Apr 1662. On 23 Oct of that year, he sold several pieces of real estate; and on the same day "John Lawrance of Water-Towne, Senior, & Carpenter," conveyed to John Biscoe his homestead , consisting of a dwelling-house, barns, and other buildings and 13 acres of land, including garders, orchards,, pastures, meadows, and plough-land, 'being the now mansion-place of mee the said John Lawrance, ' " He then removed to Groton where his name appears on the records in the following Dec. His homestead there was situated SW of Gibbet Hill, a short distance E. of the First Parish Meeting-house and near where Love Lane joins the present road to Lowell. As one of the early settlers of Groton, he was nan original land proprietor, and owner of a 20 acre right. He was twice chosen as a selectman, served one year as a surveryor of highways, and was a useful and honored citizen. | Lawrence, John (I5440)
|
| 2710 |
He came to New England, and settled in Charlestown about 1635. Came to Charlestown, MA in 1630 with son John and wife Elizabeth. | Lawrence, Henry (I5457)
|
| 2711 |
He came to New Haven with brothers Richard and Thomas, perhaps in 1639, but is first mentioned in 1643 and took the oath of fidelity the following years. He moved to Stratford in 1652, and was an original proprietor of Wallingford in 1670, but retained his Stratford residence.
He was called "John Beach Sr. of Stratford" in the probate records. The inventory of his estate included property at Stratford and Wallingford, amounting to about £344. On November 6, 1677, an agreement of his heirs was signed by sons John and Thomas Beach, and daughters Elizabeth Preston and Mary Beach; they appointed Capt. William Curtis, Israel Chauncey, and Jehiel Preston as overseers of the estate and minor children in Stratford, and John Moss and Eliasaph Preston for those in Wallingford. Names and birth dates of the ten children were given in his will. His wife was called Mary at the birth of their last child; nothing else is known about her.
The land grant records for King Philip's War for New Haven, Conn., includes "Beach, John ( –1677), (B); he was from Stratford, and returned thither." This was listed in the Wallingford, Conn., list of those in civilian service. The "(B)" stands for "lower garrison".
Note, however, that Jacobus, later states: "Further study of the Wallingford Rrecords leads t the belief that it was not the elder John Beach (d 1677) who served with the lower garrison, this man having removed to Stratford, but rather his nephew John (s. of Thomas) who was certainly then living in Wallingford." From this we know that John had a brother, Thomas. | Beach, John (I5374)
|

He came with his widowed mother, brother John, and his grandfather, William from Reading, Berkshire County, England. They settled in Groton, MA and were among the earliest proprietors in that town. | Lakin, William (I5296)

He died after only 10 years of marriage, leaving Delia with 4 small boys. In a letter to Walburga after Francis died leaving 5 small children she mentions, "I think I should have laid down and died after my husband's death if it had not have been for the children Francis was about the age of little Lawrence then and I had to look after him And it seemed to take my mind off of my trouble some which in such circumstances seems overwhelming but there was always a way provided for me even when it seemed there was no way." She also mentioned that she sort of expected her son Francis to die early and probably of consumption. Perhaps Wilmer died of consumption as many people did in those days. No record of how he died has been found.
No dates are given on the headstone.

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] | Lawrence, Eleazer (I5416)

He was a blacksmith at Mount Holly, VT. Vol I of the Land Records for Mount Holly says that "Elijah Peck of Ashford, County of Windham State of Conneticutt" sold land in Mount Holly on 3 Oct 1801. (Mount Holly was formed from a gore and part of Wallingford and Ludlow in 1792, and earlier records can't be found for Mount Holly.) On 15 Sep 1804, Job Peck (Elijah's oldest son) sold land to Elijah Peck and both were of Mount Holly.
[The land record information was sent by Carroll R. Tarbell, Mount Holly Town Clerk, on 6 Dec 1977 to Dorothea Heid. Mr. Tarbell has written a town history of Mount Holly which Marg McEuen purchased in 1992, shortly after Mr. Tarbell's death.]

He was a gunsmith who came to New Haven early in its formation. According to Berry, he came from Bewdley in Worcestershire. (Gen & Ped of Hertfordshire Families) He sailed with the Whitefield party arriving at Quinnipac or New Haven, in Jul 1639, and was one of the signers of the agreement to remain together made on shipboard. New Haven Col. Rec. (I, p 82) says: "brother Nash his shoppe did stand by the creeks." He was probably well advanced in life at the time of the emigration, for hes eldest son, John, was old enough to be made Freeman, April 1642, and in his will of 1 Aug 1657, he mentions his olk age. The 1rst date attached to his name at New Haven, is "1t of the 7th Moneth 1640", when he was admitted member of the General Court and received the charge of Freeman. His home lot was on the west side of State Street, about 1/3 ditance from Chapel to Elm St. He was chosen a Fence Viewer "for Mr. Eatons & Mr. Davenports quarter", Mar 1645/6. 25 May 1646, the General Court ordered: "In regard of severall occassions and worke to be done agaynst trayning day, bro: Nash is spared." Before emeigration, he was a member of the church in Leydon, Holland, and was one of five who wrote an interesting letter (See Vol 1 MA Hist Soc Coll, 4th Series 1852, PP 155-7) from there, 30 Nov 1625, to their brethern in Plymouth, informing them of the death of John Robinson, Pastor of the church, which included in its membership the planters in Plymouth as well as those left in Leyden.

He was an early settler of New Haven, CT, along with Dea. William Peck and Joseph Peck. The three men were probably related, though no direct proof has been found. Henry was an earl, but not original subscriber to the Fundamental Agreement at New Haven in 1643, signing by mark (H); and he and Joseph Peck took the oath of fidelity 1 Jul 1644. William was an original proprietor and is the only one of the three shose name appears in the list of palnters and estates drawn up as early as 1640-1. Since Joseph did not marry until 1650, it seems likely that he was a member of Henry's household and bery probably was his brother as they were mentioned together in several records.
His will was dated 30 Oct 1651 and was presented at the New Haven Town Court on 2 May 1654. It was not signed or sealed, but was witnessed by William Pecke, John Moss and Sam: Whitehead and approved. The will reads as follows:
"The Last Will and Testamt of Henry Pecke: The 30th 8th moneth 1651 Henry Pecke being weake and near his Change, yet haueing the vse of his Understanding, desires in The first place, To reigne vp his soule to God; And for that Portion of outward Blessing God hath giuen him, To dispose them thus.
