There were two early settlers of Watertown of the name of Lawrence, viz., John and George.
JOHN LAWRENCE, a carpenter, settled there as early as the beginning of 1636; his name is on the earliest list of proprietors, and he was adm. freeman Mar. 9, 1636-7. By his first wife, ELIZABETH, he had 12 chil. b. in Wat. By his 2d wife, SUSANNA, he had two chil. b. in Groton, viz.:
1. JOHN, b. Mar. 14, 1635-6.
2. NATHANIEL, b. Oct. 15, 1639.
3. JONATHAN, buried Ap. 6, 1643.

He probably moved to Groton in 1662. Oct. 27, 1662, he sold his homestead in Wat., "being the now mansion house of said John Lawrence," to John Briscoe. On the same day he sold a lot of land to William Page, another to Joseph Underwood, and another to John Barnard, Oct. 23, 1662. [For a record of his family and descendants, see Butler, pp. 273 and 413; also a printed genealogy of the family of Lawrence.] One branch of this family of John settled in Lex., a brief record of which is here inserted in a note.(*)
