Several years ago the writer obtained possession of a package of old deeds and other original documents relating to descendants of John Lawrence of Wisset, Eng., who were among the early settlers in Middlesex County, Mass. The interest awakened by an exami- nation of these papers led to a study of the family history, and especially that of the first five generations in America ; and in this little volume are given the results of these researches. Absolute accuracy in a work of this kind is hardly to be attained. The incompleteness of many town and church records, the frequent changes of residence of individuals, and the confusion arising from a repetition of certain Christian names, — these are am.ong the hinderances well-known to the student of family history. The writer will, therefore, be glad to be informed of any errors or omissions which may be discovered. It is fitting that due acknowledgment should be made to the Hon.

  • LAWRENCE FAMILY GRAVEYARD, Southeast Corner of 2Oth Road and 35Th Street Inter­ Section, Steinway, Borough of Queens
    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 19, 1966, Number 5 LP-0136 LAWRENCE FAMILY GRAVEYARD, Southeast corner of 2oth Road and 35th Street inter­ section, Steinway, Borough of Queens. 1703. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax Map Block 828, Lot 90. On January 11, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Lawrence Family Graveyard and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 38). At that time no speakers appeared to testify. The Commission continued the public hearing until February 8, 1966 (Item No. 37). At that time two speakers appeared to testify in favor of designation, including the owner of the property. Both hearings were duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were no speakers in opposition to designation at elther meeting. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS A private cemetery holding the remains of this country's great patriots should be considered as much a Landmark as are certain buildings designated because of their distinguished owners and distinguished history. The Lawrence Family Cemetery is important, primarily because of the history connected with those who are buried there. It is also notable due to the beauty of its handsome grounds. This half-acre plot has 89 graves, enclosed by a low stone wall topped by an iron fence at its entrance side. The other three sides are simply enclosed by a brick wall with iron fence above . The entrance originally abutted on the Old Bowery Bay Road of which no vestige remains. Today the plot lies in the center of a residential block.
