    Notes:

    Lawrence arrived in Canada about August 1822 with his parents. The family had stopped at Kingston, Ontario , and there he was apprenticed to a man named Carl, to become a shoemaker.
    The arrangement stipulated that Lawrence would apprentice for three (3) years, then when he was finished, he was to get a suit of clothes and some money.

    Meanwhile his parents and siblings were to have meandered along towards the west, arriving at Smokeville (now Wellington).
    The inhabitants at that time were few and far between, but just the same, they had two hotels where whiskey was sold.

    Lawrence obviously completed his apprencticeship and headed for Wellington three years later. in 1825 or 1826 he met a Lydia Garratt at a Suree at the Sandbanks, and they were married sometime soon-after.
    The Garratts were Quakers who had originated from Belfast and had emigrated to Upper New York State, then crossed over to Canada.

    I found Lawrence on the 1840 Census for Murray Township. The Cenus records that there were a total of 7 in the family, all Quakers.
    There were four (4) male children, two (2) adults, plus another female over 16 (unknown).
    Next door was a Townsend Garratt and family, and a Thmas Garratt and family. Could be siblings of Lydia??

    Lawrence took up the Quaker relgion for his family and set up a shoemaking shop in Wellington.
    The 1851 Census has the family residing on Lot 11 of the 3rd Concession - Military Tract in Hallowell Twp - a farm made up of 114 acres.

    The first two children, Sarah Ann and Rachel Ann were twins and died at birth according to Eliza Cooper.

    Townsend and Thomas died of TB.

    On Nov 28/1851,Lawrence purchased the North Half of Lot 11 on Conc 3 MT, from Thomas Waring and wife.
    On April 28, 1864 Lawrence acuired 1/4 acre of Lot 1, Concession 1 in Hillier Twp, from Rufus Wilder.
    On March 8, 1867 he sold the West Half (50 acres of his Hallowell Twp property) to his son Wm Davis, and on April 22, 1867 sold the Eest Half (other 50 acres) to his son Solomon.
    On April 28, 1867 Lawrence sold the 1/4 acre on Lot 1 to his son John.

    Solomon acquired 70 acres of Lot 1, Conc. 1, in Hillier Twp, on November 5, 1872 from Silas Reynolds & Charlotte Blakely.

    Laurence and Lydia were still living at the time of the 1891 Census and lived on the farm at Lot 1 with Solomon and his wife Lydia Morriah Hutchinson.
    Apparently Lydia was blind by 83 years of age (1889).

    According to the Register of Births, Deaths, Marriages kept by Franklin Jones, the clerk for Hillier Twp., Lawrence and Lydia were registered as dying in the 1st Half of 1892.
    An examination of the Death Register of the Ontario Archives has given me the exact dates.
    Lawrence died on December 17, 1891, see record # 01538192, and Lydia died on November 15, 1891, see record # 01538292. Lawrence died of paralysis, and Lydia died of old age.

    It is not know where they are buried but it is presumed to be in Wellington .
