| 14804 | 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 . A View of Life in 1861 on the Family Farm ===================================== In 1861, on Lot 11, Conc. 3 - Military Tract, Hallowell Twp, out of a total of 114 acres, Lawrence and his family had 75 acres under cultivation. 46 acres were growing products and 29 were in pasture. 39 acres supplied 700 lbs. of maple sugar in that year. The cash value of the property was $3200.00. The cash value of the farm equipment was $50.00. On this property, the following products were produced: Spring Wheat - 4 acres/ 100 bushels Barley - 10 acres/ 400 bushels Rye - 7 acres/ 210 bushels Peas - 14 acres/ 350 bushels Oats - 5 acres/ 100 bushels Potatoes - 4 acres/ 450 bushels Carrots - 200 bushels Beans - 10 bushels Hay - 4 tons Wool - 65 lbs. 20 yards of full cloth 16 yards of flannel The livestock consisted of : 4 steers 6 milk cows (300 lbs. of butter) 4 horses ( 2 colts) 25 sheep 2 pigs In 1861, almost 1600 lbs. of pork was barreled and 11,200 lbs. of fish For transportation, the family had one pleasure carriage valued at $10.00. | GOODMURPHY, LAWRENCE (I26)

Court Martial For Dueling, Ensign John Lawrence. * PISTOL DUEL . 1780 Jan 12th - (Commencing), Pistol Duel For Honor or Queen's Rangers Summary: British Ensign John Moffet while drunk at John Wilson Tavern on Staten Island - (is this Kruse or Wilson Brook Rd., older roads on Staten?) - He insulted the NJ American Ensign John Lawrence by saying he was not a gentlemen & insulted his Regiment, the Queen's Rangers which was under the command of John Graves Simcoe... Moffat sent Lawrence pistols & a challenged to a duel on 13 Jan. 1780. The two met on that frigid January day with their seconds, marked the distance at 6 yards (as opposed to the 4 yards distance requested by Moffet) & fired simultaneously. Moffet's ball barely grazed Lawrence near the right breast, not even breaking the skin. Lawrence's shot however went true, straight into the Ranger's stomach. Moffet was killed, as he was good enough to tell his second, Lieut. George Pendred, looking up at him & declaring "My dear fellow I am killed" upon which he immediately died. Moffet was buried at Richmond Church. The burial was delayed several days because of an incursion of 2,700 Continental troops onto Staten Island. This forced Moffet to take one last tour of the island, his corpse taking a sleigh ride from tavern to tavern until the island was secured. The court listened to the evidence & acquitted Lawrence. . Richmond [Staten Island] 13th Jany. 1780. To Ens. Lawrence, Sir, In consequence of your behaviour last night to me (when totally intoxicated) request that satisfaction due by one Gentleman to another. Mr. [Allan] McNabb sends you your side arms, & wishes that you should not consider yourself longer under an arrest by him. I now call upon you as a Gentleman & a Soldier with your Sword & Pistols to wipe off any Odium I might have received by your Ungentleman like treatment. Signed, John Moffitt. . 1780 the 25th Feby., Friday. The Court being met pursuant to Adjournment. The Prisoner being put upon his Defense, delivered himself to the Court in the following manner: "Mr. President & Gentlemen of the Court, I stand charged before this Court for the Crime of Murder. I am very unhappy that I have been under the necessity of acting a part that has subjected me to such a Charge. Ensn. MOFFET (the unhappy Gentleman who fell) sent me a Challenge on the Evening of the 13th Jany. to meet him immediately - declined it - but as I was compell'd by the words of the Challenge, promised to meet him the next morning. I considered myself bound by the Laws of honor, to give him the Satisfaction he demanded. My reputation as an Officer & a Gentleman, in short my all was at stake - had I omitted meeting him in the manner he requested, I must ever after been treated as a Rascal & Coward - unhappy alternative-Called upon as I was, I humbly conceive (by the Evidence of Mr. Thompson, Mr. Penderd, & the Tenor of the Note of the 13th Jany. that Ensn. Moffet sent me) it has appeared to the Court, that I only acted in my own Defense & that I was not guilty of any unjust or ungentleman like behaviour on that occasion. I humbly ask the Courts pardon for taking up so much of their time in my Defense. I have been careful to make it as short as possible, Knowing that justice will govern your Decrees, I cheerfully submit to your determination."

Later General J G Simcoe promoted John Lawrence to Lieutenant from August 25, 1780. Loyalist regiment of Queen's Rangers was also known as the 1st American Regiment. Ref: For an excellent complete transcription of the Court Martial of John Lawrence please see: The Institute of Advanced Loyalist Studies, (active as of 2017 at: www.royalprovincial.com) Quarter Master Stephen Jarvis of Danbury, Connecticut, & who died in Toronto, Canada, wrote in 1840: "Early in the Spring of 1779 the Regiment left Oyster Bay, New Jersey & took up our encampment above Kingsbridge where we remained the greater part of the summer ... Our duty during the winter was not very severe, the harbor afforded plenty of oysters. Here a Mr. Moffet from the 15th Regiment joined as Quarter Master, a rough, noisy, boisterous Irishman, but I knew how to humor him & we agreed very well together. I spent the winter very pleasant. Our food was for some time rather coarse, our bread oatmeal biscuit full of maggots. Much of our time was taken up during the summer, & in the Autumn we were moved to Staten Island & took up our winter quarters at Richmond. Soon after our arrival at this place a quarrel ensued between Mr. Moffet, now an Ensign in the Regiment, as well as Quarter Master of the Horse, with a Lieutenant, (Mr. Lawrence died in Upper Canada) Lawrence. One day in his cups he fixed a quarrel on a Lieut. Lawrence of Jersey Volunteers, who had accidentally called at the Public House at Richmond. They got at fisty-cuffs & Mr. Lawrence bruised Mr. Moffit's face much, & as the vulgar expression is, bunged up his eyes". A duel ensued & Moffet was killed. Col. Simcoe was so enraged that he would not let him be buried with the honors of war. Lieutenant Lawrence was tried by a Court Martial & Honorably Acquitted." XRef: Transcription of this Court Martial may be found in my book: Richard Lawrence & John Willson, North York Public Library. Note1: The two duelist 's seconds marked out the distance at 6 yards (as opposed to the 4 yards distance requested by Moffet), & fired simultaneously. Miffed was shot in the stomach, died & was buried St. Andrews Richmond Churchyard. The invasion of Staten Island by 2,700 Continental troops delayed his burial by several days. His corpse was hauled by sleigh form tavern to tavern until the Staten was in British hands again. . 1780 2 mo. 7day Shrewsbury.

The Queen's Rangers . 1777 Dec 3 - "No regiment in the army has gained more honour this campaign than (the Queens) Rangers: they have been engaged in every principal service, and behaved nobly, indeed most of the officers have been wounded since we took the field in Philadelphia." Ref: Pennsylvania Ledger. Note: By this quote, I wish to draw attention to gentlemen's conduct of the requirement of principles of war for the Rangers, Gen. Simcoe himself & to the 'gentleman' John Lawrence (as noted in his Court Martial). - PJ Ahlberg, 2020. . Under the distinguished leadership of Lieut. Col. John Simcoe who commanded it after the battle of Brandy wine the corps became noted for discipline & bravery. It was usually the van guard of the attacking & the rear guard of the retreating army. Under all circumstances it could be relied on to give a good account of itself. Perhaps the hottest fight in which the Queen's Rangers ever engaged was the battle of Brandy wine where the British gained a victory which, if it had been energetically followed up by General Howe, would have resulted in the annihilation of Washington's army. At Brandywine the Queen's Rangers lost 72 killed & wounded, 11 of whom were officers. heir most noted achievements was a raid on the 29th October 1778 in which they marched some 50 miles into the heart of the enemy's country in the teeth of the American forces. The corps, led by Colonel Simcoe, in the course of the expedition destroyed a large number of boats & military stores at one point, released a number of loyalists imprisoned in Somerset court house which, with a quantity of stores there collected, they burned, & finally after a sharp encounter with a considerable body of the enemy whom they charged & dispersed, returned to their head quarters. The boldness of the stroke created a sensation at the time in both the British & American Camps. The Queen's Rangers in 1781 accompanied General Benedict Arnold in his raid on Virginia where they quite maintained their reputation. Afterwards they served under Lord Cornwallis in the unfortunate campaign in the south ending in the capitulation of Yorktown, October 19th 1781. At the close of the war they came to New Brunswick & received grants of land in parish of Queensbury which derives its name from the Queen's Rangers. In all, three tracts of land were laid out for the accommodation of the corps, one on the Main river above Bear Island in Queensbury. Ref: Wallace Hale, 1895.5.29, NB Provincial Archives, Canada.

Ref: Lawrence Hartshorne, by D A Sutherl &, 1987. Note1: The Boggs family was also related to the Lawrence family Lawrence Hartshorne. Biography Lawrence Hartshorne: Born into a leading Quaker family in the Sandy Hook area of NJ, Lawrence Hartshorne had a career which developed as a by-product of the American revolution. Immunized from revolutionary sympathies because of his religion, as well as by the proximity of British military forces, young Lawrence moved in 1777 to nearby New York City, where he entered trade. Three years later he advanced his career & also compromised his political neutrality by becoming the son-in-law of William Ustick, a hardware merchant who had earlier antagonized the New York Sons of Liberty by violating the colonial boycott of British manufactures. Family & business links with the loyalist & British military establishment, forged during the war, prompted Hartshorne to join the loyalist exodus from New York in 1783. Having successfully drawn upon his association with such notables as [Governor] Sir Guy Carleton to obtain grants to several thousand acres of land in Nova Scotia, Hartshorne decided to establish himself in Halifax as a hardware dealer, in partnership with Thomas Boggs, also a refugee from New Jersey. During the 1780s, Hartshorne became active in the cause of agricultural improvement, both as treasurer of a pioneering agricultural society in 1789 & as proprietor of a model farm located on the outskirts of Dartmouth. Popular among his peers, Hartshorne made his initial entry into public affairs in 1791, when he acted as chief assistant to John Clarkson in the project designed to transport Nova Scotian black loyalists to Sierra Leone. Hartshorne appears to have been motivated by a Quaker-inspired concern for blacks & by a belief that their advancement could best be achieved with a return to Africa. Hartshorne's rise to prominence was accomplished during the tenure of John Wentworth, lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia between 1792 & 1808. A fellow loyalist, Wentworth made Hartshorne one of the favoured recipients of official patronage, bestowing on him such offices as seats on the magisterial bench, the local street commission, & the poor house commission. Having the ear of the lieutenant governor probably helped Hartshorne win election in the House of Assembly for Halifax County in 1793. Then in 1801, after having been defeated in the controversial general election of 1799 by "reformers" under the leadership of William Cottnam Tonge, Hartshorne was named to the Council. The appointment confirmed that he had become a member of the inner circle of the oligarchy. Indeed, an anonymous critic of the Wentworth régime, denouncing Hartshorne as a "cedevant quaker ironmonger," claimed that he exercised an influence second only to that of Michael Wallace. Wentworth's patronage was not confined to the allocation of office. In response to prompting from the lieutenant governor, Hartshorne formed a partnership with yet another loyalist, Jonathan Tremain, & around 1792 or so built a combined grist-mill & bakehouse on the Dartmouth side of Halifax Harbour (the site being chosen because of the availability of water power). This enterprise, which represented an investment of between £6,000 & £7,000, long ranked as the largest manufactory in Nova Scotia. Its success was largely dependent on the securing of military contracts for flour, & here the partners received decisive assistance from Wentworth. In addition, Wentworth encouraged Hartshorne to become involved with projects designed to establish a bank in Halifax & build a canal linking the town with the Bay of Fundy. Following the outbreak of war with France in 1793, Wentworth, thanks to his contacts in the Home Department, helped the firm of Boggs & Hartshorne secure military contracts & also named them as provisioning agents for Nova Scotia's Indian population. In yet a further gesture, he gave Hartshorne & the partnership of William Forsyth & William Smith an exclusive lease to mine coal deposits in mainland Nova Scotia. Apart from the flour-mill & the military contracts, these ventures proved abortive, but their existence underscored Hartshorne's membership in Wentworth's entourage. As a reciprocal gesture, Hartshorne loaned money to the frequently hard pressed Wentworth family. The one major controversy in Hartshorne's public career came in 1804, when he resigned from the Council to protest the appointment to that body of John Butler Butler, a commissariat official & military contractor. Butler's supposed offense had been to claim precedence over Hartshorne in the Council, but it is more likely that Hartshorne could not tolerate the presence of someone who had earlier outmaneuvered him in bidding for lucrative military flour contracts. Wentworth attempted to restore Hartshorne to the Council in 1807 but the appointment was never ratified by London. The episode, however, did little damage to Hartshorne's prospects. Even after Wentworth's fall in 1808, he continued to receive official perquisites; for example, in 1812 he was named to the commission in charge of issuing provincial paper money. Through the first decade of the 19th century, Hartshorne remained active as a hardware merchant & flour miller. It is hard to assess the relative value of his business activities because of a lack of evidence. But he did not monopolize either the local or the provincial flour trade, competition from American imports remaining a constant problem for the milling operation. He also became a founder of the association that developed into the Halifax Fire Insurance Company. Despite losses through escheat, Hartshorne continued to hold over 17,000 acres in what is now Guysborough County, which he made at least some attempt to settle. As well, he retained an interest in agricultural improvement & emerged after the War of 1812 as a supporter of John Young. Some time after 1800, Hartshorne moved from Halifax to Dartmouth to take up residence in a large 3 storey wooden mansion known as Poplar Hill. There, with his 2nd wife, daughter of Jonathan Tremain, his business partner, he presided over a family of 3 sons & 6 daughters from both marriages, along with a younger cousin, Robert Hartshorne, who had come from Virginia to work in the family business. Securing the prospects of the next generation became the major theme of the last phase of Hartshorne's career. One step in this direction consisted of having the children baptized (some as adults) in the Church of England. As well, the family acquired a pew at St Paul's, the Anglican church in Halifax. A series of marriages ensued, with three of the children emulating their father's example by marrying into the Tremain family. Of the 3 sons, John died early, Lawrence succeeded his father as partner of Thomas Boggs*, & Hugh trained as a lawyer. The Hartshorne family remained prominent in the business, political, & social life of the Nova Scotian capital into the middle years of the 19th century, acquiring special notoriety for the lavish entertaining conducted at their Dartmouth estate. In this way, Lawrence Hartshorne contributed to the often exaggerated claim that the loyalists left a lasting imprint on the character of British North America. Ref: D. A. Sutherland, Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online.

| 14820 | Lawrence moved from the Tottenham-Newmarket area to Garafraxa Twp., along with John Monkman, & their father, William Monkman b 1793 - 1878. . Married 1849 first wife Elizabeth Poole. Married second wife Martha Ann Felker. . Life in the Gara Leaving the village of Fergus, we left the gravel road & turned toward the old Garafraxa mission parsonage, which was 7 miles away. We got along nicely for abut 3 miles. Then we came to a piece of swampy bush, known as "Black Ash Swamp" The bottom of the roadway seemed to have started on a trip to China, & for half a mile the med was almost to the hubs of the wheels. The horses are not used to that sort of work, & most decidedly objected to proceed any further in that way. "stuck in the Mud" was the significant cry of the teamster as he called back to me from his perch on top of the old. Here was a difficulty. The horses had drown the her load for80 miles & were tired. I resolved to seek for help. Going forward through the wood I came to an old farmer named Cassidy. He very cheerfully sent his son with a large strong yoke of oxen to our assistance. The cattle were hitched to the land & in a little while we were thought the long loud hole & on high ground once more. Mr. Cassidy declined to take anything saying that hallways tried when it was in his power, to help those who were in trouble. While I was away seeking help, two of the Felkers from the vicinity of the parsonage came along on their way home from Fergus. On finding out ho we were, they took our two boys along with them & left them at Mr. Lawrence Monkman's, who lived right beside the house we were going to, so that the news of our coming went ahead of us. We went on & when we came to the place we found Mr. Monkman sitting on the fence waiting for us. We drove the load into the yard & then we all went home with our new friends to stay all night. After tea we all went to the parsonage & unloaded the stuff & put it into the house that was to be our home for the next 2 years. After 2 years of hard work & a good degree of success on the mission & after becoming warmly attached to the people, we had to prepare for our second move to the Elma mission. 3 years & 3 missions later he was reappointed to the Garafraxa mission. … We found improvements in other things as well as roads. The we left there we moved out of an old log house that had been but in the early days of the mission. On coming back we moved into a nice little stone cottage that had been but during the pastorate of Rev J H Watts. On resuming the work on this circuit, I was much pleased with the state of the Church. A large number had been added to the Church since I had left the circuit 3 years before. During my former pastorate on this charge, I received into membership over 100 new convert. It was very encouraging on my return to find most of the still on the way & some filling important positions in the church. Tow or had passed away. We had 2 very pleasant years but were only allowed 2 years' pastorate as a rule. On the 10 line Garafaxa we had an appointment in a schoolhouse. The settlers were nearly all from the North of Ireland & Anglican. They had no religious services what were furnished by the Methodists. They were a wild, thoughtless & daring lost of men. They were called by the inhabitants around them "tenth line blazers." But for all this, a more warming hearted & generous class of men could not be found as long as they avoided the whiskey & did not get out of temper:" Two memes who had once been Methodists said we are glad that you are going to try to do something for this place, for it is a fact that we are all going to the bad as fast as whiskey bad surroundings can se us. With Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Cotton he held meetings every night for 3 weeks. Sone 60 claimed to be converted. John Conn of the 8th line was also converted. . CHRISTIAN HOSPITALTIY: It was while I was traveling the district that I realized fully what Christian hospitality really means. In all the homes I visited during these years, I was not once made to feel that I was not welcome. I never counted them, but I had more than a hundred homes on the Huron District. I will find room for the names of the more prominent owners of these homes: Garafraxa Circuit: Morris Cook. W Neal, Jas Loree, Wm. Woods., Wm Cotton, Jno own, H Scarrow, Jno.

Carmel cemetery was established across the road at lot 15 east side of the 6th line. Carmel Cemetery was started on the east side of the road, & a log parsonage was built on the west side of the road on land purchased from Caleb Travis. The log church & school were built in 1864. When the new stone Methodist Church was erected in 1872 complete with balcony, it was in the "churchyard". When Church Union came in 1925, Carmel Methodist Church was closed. In 1939, the church was demolished, but the original front step of the church was left in place, to form the front step of the Memorial Chapel. Ref: West Garafraxa Twp.

In it he mentions his son Samuel, son Reaps, sons Robert and Peter, wife Mary, and Thomas, Jean, Isaac, Mary, Sarah, and daughter Susanna Humphris. It has son Isaac and son-in-law Samuel Davis as executors. It does not mention son Moses but if he was the eldest he had already moved to South Carolina so would not necessarily be mentioned. From "The History of Gwinnett County, Georgia": "The Mathews family," according to C. H. Ward, genealogist, "has a history dating back to Sir Ivan, 12th Lord of Cardigan, of Oril College, Oxford, England who married Cecily, daughter of Sir Robert de Clare, who was the second son of Richard, 4th Earl of Hertford and his wife Amecia, sister of Isabel, wife of King John of England, and a descendant of Adelaide, sister of William the Conqueror. Sir Mathew, son of Sir Ivan, born about 1360, was knighted during the reign of Richard II (1382-1399) and his descendants are those who bear the name of Mathews in any of its varied forms." "Captain, General, Governor Samuel Mathews, third son of Archbishop Tobias Mathews of Oxford, came to Virginia in 1622. Mary Mathews, daughter of Captain Samuel Mathews of Virginia, married Isaac Mathews, a grest-grandson of John Mathews of Milton and their son, Thomas Mathews, born in Virginia in 1726, came to South Carolina in 1767 and died there in 1831." Isaac Edward Mathews and his wife Mary Mathews were distant cousins; Gov. Mathews was an ancestor of Mary. Their lineage converges in Sir Mathew ap Evan, Knight, b. 1368, Llandaff Court, Glamorgan, Wales, d. 1419, Glamorgan, Wales, married to Jenet Fleming. Their son Sir Dafydd Mathew, Knight, married to Gwendoline Hebert, is the direct ancestor of Isaac.
