Notes:

*Benjamin Lawrence is listed here, but needs more research.

BIRTH:
. Benjamin is given as a son in the 15 Jul 1701, WILL of Capt. William Lawrence.
Elizabeth Gildersleeve was alive on 20 February 1664, so the exact death date for Gildersleeve is between then & 4 Mar 1664 when Capt. Wm. Lawrence married his second wife, Elizabeth Smith.

DEATH:
. As well in his WILL of 20 Feb. 1741, Wm. Lawrence, Jr., names 'brothers Joseph & Benjamin' as executors. However, when William's WILL was proved on 22 Nov, 1750, "3 of the executors were dead." Joseph's given death 18 Apr 1759 would conflict with that.
Verify this Benjamin Lawrence: Will of 13 Jul 1748 & Probated 19 May 1755, Monmouth, NJ.
Further research is required. (PJA 2010.)
